.... tell me truly thereof, and teach me your name, and I shall fare forth to find you, so far as I may, and this I say in good certain, and swear upon oath." (G&GK, pt.1, ln. 400-403) Gawain's agreement might have been honorable, but it doesn't strike me as particularly bright. Roland had the same type of problem. His honor also got him to into trouble. One perfect example of this was when Roland made his Uncle Ganelon so angry by antagonizing him that Ganelon used Roland's concept of honor to make Roland take the rear guard and be slaughtered. Roland antagonized Ganelon by saying: "Quoth Rola .....

.... didn’t say a word all though the screening but afterwards he was sick to his stomach.” (Page 148). Later, Duddy said to Mr. Friar: “I could sell Mr. Cohn a dead horse easier then this pile of _” (page 148). After this particular incident, Duddy does not even speak honestly to his clients. In conclusion, the only way Duddy sells his waste films is by telling lies. He always lies to gain money, and that’s all that Duddy cares about. Duddy has never been loved in his family, so originally he was quite content to know that Yvette cares about him. At the beginning, Yvette and Duddy are in love. “It .....

.... female. "In making cloth she showed so great a bent / She bettered those of Ypres and of Ghent. /… Bold was her face, handsome, and red in hue. / A worthy woman all her life…(31)" These passages depict a woman who has a normal physical appearance and who is good at making clothes, a typical female ability. The general prologue does not show the strong willed, intelligent, independent woman that the Wife of Bath is. The Wife of Bath only reveals this in her own prologue. Chaucer does not go into much detail about the Wife of Bath because he only reveals what he sees. The Wife of Bath Contrary to this, Chaucer brings to life the Sq .....

.... would have been related to blacks desire to keep fighting and struggling for desegregation. Of course, nearly any white man would fail to understand this. The white community wanted none of the blacks about in their town. The ignorance of whites or their "misunderstanding" is clear when Griffin is on the bus and requests to get off at his stop. The bus driver refuses;"I can't leave the door open all night". This was just pure disrespect from the driver for he had nothing better to do than wait for traffic. Griffin at the time was exhausted and he was trying hard not to release his rage towards the bus driver. Griffin later writes in hi .....

.... prominent theme when the main character is murdering his young virgins and dissecting various ‘smells.’ Through these various techniques of Suskind’s, we are drawn into the world of Jean Baptiste Grenouille. It is to be analysed in this essay how we are able to experience what Grenouille feels. The reader is confronted with the issues of acceptance and finding love both of which are relevant to human nature thus the audience is able to sympathise with him. He cannot achieve acceptance in society by being who he really is. He therefore strives to achieve this by killing in order to obtain the ultimate scent. It is with t .....

.... war, and most do not see it as much of a threat. A few boys are ready to enlist, and some do not even consider it. Phineas says he does not even believe there is a war at all, and he partly convinces Gene of this idea as well. The war doesn’t hit any of them until Leper, the first to enlist, goes to war and comes back a complete mess. Although not children, they are not quite adults, and they share a rare time of carefree play that is completely isolated from the war. These young boys are separate from the reality of the world while they continue their studies just as they had always done, with the only difference being an extra school s .....

.... unmitigated villainy, deaf to every appeal of humanity. Shylock is the antagonist counterpart to the naive, essentially good Antonio, the protagonist, who must defend himself against the devil Shylock. The evil he represents is one of the reasons Shakespeare chose to illustrate Shylock as a Jew. According to many historians, Jews of his time were seen as the children of the Devil, the crucifiers of Christ and stubborn rejectors of God's wisdom and Christianity. However, when Shakespeare created Shylock, he did not introduce him into the play as a purely flat character, consumed only with the villainy of his plot. One of the great .....

.... at a young age, which meant he did not have much of a social life (67). This factor is also true in Pip’s case because he was Joe’s apprentice. Pip’s situation as an orphan was a little bit more complex than Dickens. Pip’s caretaker becomes delirious and then dies. I think that these events show a sense of independence in both of them. They started to take care of themselves when they were teenagers. That gave them a few good qualities such as being strong and independent. They have another similarity dealing with women. Pip loves Estella, but she does not love him back. She looks down on him because he is not wealthy and is not ve .....

.... Heights only a few times. On the occasion of his second visit, "the snow began to drive thickly"(7) during his walk, and this horrible weather should have been foreshadowing to Lockwood about Heathcliff's, and the other member's of the household's true personalities. Upon arriving he was forced to bang continually upon the door before someone would take the care to let him in out of the cold. The dinner that Lockwood was permitted to have with the ‘family' was anything but hospitable. Lockwood was treated not unlike an ignorant and unworthy guest, and hence the visit was in no way enjoyable for him. Upon desiring to leave the .....

.... my family, maintaining self-contentment, stopping to smell the roses and taking long walks in the rain. I can do those things in many countries, America is not the only one. I wish more people in America would have these type of dreams. Instead, people are slaving for companies for more than half of their lives only to retire and be too old to hike Half-Dome in Yosemite, or play softball with their children. Willy Loman was too wrapped up in getting ahead of the next guy. This philosophy of getting ahead is what makes up America and compromises the dreams of man. Sometimes this greed can draw man to great things, sometimes it can draw man .....
