The biggest effect of this theme is on Eustacia. The fact that Clym delayed sending his letter to Eustacia, coupled with the fact that Captain Vye unwittingly kept the letter from Eustacia until it was too late, suggests that perhaps destiny is against her. It is under the downpour of the rain, on the rugged heath where Eustacia laments her fate. Eustacia’s own remark, “how destiny is against me!” (354) and “I have been injured and blighted and crushed by things beyond .....

Words: 1977 - Pages: 8.... decisions.
Antigone has the most direct struggles with human law and a higher law in the drama, for it is the application of this theme that decides her fate. Faced with the decision to defy the King and properly bury her brother, Polyneices, or leave his body unprepared for death as Kreon wished, she chose to obey the wishes of the gods and bury him. At the time of the drama, the Greeks believed that a decent burial was essential for the soul to be at rest. Kreon accused Polyneices of fighting against his own country and forbade all citizens of Thebes to prepare his body. Instead, it was left to decay on the field on which he was ki .....

The Power And The Glory: The Whiskey Priest A Saint?
Words: 700 - Pages: 3.... of this is when the Mestizo tells the whiskey priest that a fellow
fugitive is in trouble and needs his blessing. This is a trap that later
costs the whiskey priest his life, but he is willing to overlook this. This
is best shown when he eventually forgives and even prays for the Mestizo
who betrayed him: “The priest waved his hand; he bore no grudge because he
expected nothing else of anything human...” (P. 198) This shows that that
whiskey priest is a forgiving man and this indeed helps to validate that
the whiskey priests statement is inaccurate.
Graham Greene portrays to the reader that the whiskey priest thinks

Understanding Holden Caulfield

He "genuinely appreciates brief and isolated instances of kindness" (Lee 263) and "accurately pinpoints phoniness in low and high places” (Edwards 556). Thus, it is easy to explain reader’s acceptance of him. “Indeed, these people are like Holden himself - the Holden who can be willful, contrary, often impossible, yet in a manner insistently of his own making and at odds with whatever he deems dull or conformist” (Lee 102). “Ambivalence is, in fact, characteristic of Holden, the surest evidence of his mental instability" (Furst 76). He is not what he and many readers assume he is: .....

Tolkiens's Lord Of The Rings
Words: 988 - Pages: 4.... may
you be wanting?"; "It was a cheerless land"; "The hobbits were merrymaking
happily."
Not only does the language create a land but it may also add a bit of
humor. This humor can also express the merriness of the people that have
been written about. The language, in English is not exactly incorrect but
it is odd, strange, and different, which matches the theme and plot.
Tolkien, like mostly every other author has one main, specific goal
during the exposition of the story, which is to capture the reader's
attention. In the beginning of "The Lord of the Rings," Tolkien presents
events of happiness, mystery, tales of power, chase, .....

"A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings"
Words: 1986 - Pages: 8.... have a married couple, Pelayo and Elisenda, profit and become wealthy as a result of his surreal presence.
Garcia Marquez's use of both the earthly and the divine are quite interesting, because he uses the angel to convey both a spiritual presence as well as an earthly desire to live well in the real world, which in turn ultimately enriches the main characters in the story, Pelayo and Elisenda. The author does not portray the divine as one might think. When a person thinks of an angel they think of a very elegant, beautiful figure usually clothed in white with a spiritual presence. Garcia does not portray angels in this typical way. In thi .....

Heart Of Darkness: The Symbol Of Ivory

praying to it.” In their rapacity the “pilgrims” have placed ivory as their
God, a realization that has greater meaning towards the end of the book.
The significance of ivory begins to move away from avarice and
takes on a purely evil connotation as Marlow approaches those hearts of
darkness: the Inner Station and Kurtz. Kurtz's relationship with ivory
seems to have been reiterated by every company member through the course of
the story. Of course Kurtz “harvested” more ivory than all the other
stations combined, and therefore it almost seems appropriate that Conrad
would use extensi .....
