.... your conscience, and I am damned for not doing according to mine, will you come with me for fellowship?"(77). He adheres to his philosophy and conscience, knowing that he will inevitably be executed. One who is reading this may reply by thinking More's decision was asinine. The reader may believe that life is the greatest value to man, and to place anything above it would be asinine. More's behavior was bizarre even to his own time period. His daughter, Margaret, pleaded for him to sign the oath, "Then say the words of the oath and in your heart think otherwise"(81). Her father could not morally be satisfied by this. More believed t .....

.... Frome stutters and speaks in abbreviated forms sometimes. Most of the people in the town and in the novel speak in abbreviated forms. The actual town itself and the surroundings of Frome are harsh and cold, especially in winter when the book takes place. These harsh surroundings make Frome who he is and give him a "careless powerful look". Speech also renders some importance in this novel. A few examples of abbreviated words are: "Wurst kind", and "More'n enough", and lastly "Oh, I ain't afr'd". All of these slang words and also many more were used throughout the novel.

.... faults or traits. Austen also uses irony quite often to inform the readers on her own personal opinions. The comic techniques caricatures, irony, and satire, not only helped to provide humor for Austen's readers, but they also helped Austen to give her own personal opinion on public matters. When an action is exaggerated on stage by an actor, it becomes all the more noticeable to the audience. An author can exaggerate a character in order to make fun of them. Austen exaggerates many of her characters and therefore makes caricatures of them in order to emphasize their ridiculousness. Mrs. Bennet is such a character. Her extr .....

.... both plays. It is clear that he looks down on Victorian society and that he has painted it as the villain, not Tovrald or Mr. Engstrand as is might appear. He shows that society is superficial by the words of the characters in both plays. Nora and Tovrald appear to only care about material things and appearances. Mr. Manders is exactly the same way. He only cares about what people think of him, not real issues. Ibsen also shows that people are narrow-minded. Nora even points this out to Tovrald when he is condemning Krogstad for one mistake. Mr. Manders is very narrow-minded in the way he thinks society should be. He has a very .....

.... while he being ‘male' can do nothing about the fact that he may be sexually aroused by her whether they were ‘just friends' or not.

Interesting stands on happiness are also expressed. Boredom is vaguely related to happiness by the rationalization that one can be happy simply by picking lint off of the floor. While his thoughts are genuine, one can almost comprehend the randomness of human th .....
