A Tale Of Two Cities - Charact
Words: 951 - Pages: 4.... of her life is to procure revenge on the D’Evremonde family and every other aristocrat. Even when told by her beloved husband she has gone to far, she does not stop. Instead her repartee to him was, “Tell the wind and fire where to stop; not me”. In it she evidently expresses how she will never forget what was done to her family and how the D’Evermondes are deserving of what they will receive. The actions she performs in her daily life demonstrate her evilness. In the novel it seems as though she is the “bad guy” who is starting up all the trouble. It is her need for revenge, in the book, that starts the revolution.

Words: 412 - Pages: 2.... as extremely tempting. However,
these fruits have been deemed prohibited by God. The plant in Rappaccini's
garden is a large flowering bush. The flowers on this bush are unlike any
others and extremely exquisite. The two plants share the trait of “forbidden,”
but in different ways. The fruit on the tree in Genesis was forbidden simply
because that was the way God made it. The plant in Rappaccini's garden was
forbidden because it was poisonous. The only people immune to the poison of
this plant were Beatrice and Dr. Rappaccini.
In Hawthorne's story, a parallel between Giovanni and Adam is
established. Both are young men, and .....

The Great Gatsby: Moral Responsibility In Gatsby
Words: 637 - Pages: 3.... house. This "conspiring" was probably a
plan to get Daisy away from the whole incident. Furthermore, Tom and Daisy
leave town the next day, proving Tom's knowledge of Daisy's guilt by just
trying to escape with her. Even knowing this, Tom still had the indecency
to tell George it was Gatsby's car. Tom can also be morally blamed for the
killing of Gatsby because of his affair with Myrtle. George killed Gatsby
not only because he thought he killed Myrtle, but also because he was under
the impression that Gatsby was the one having the affair with his wife.
Tom knew George was thinking this and when George talked to him, Tom seized
his oppo .....

Candide
Words: 1595 - Pages: 6.... voices that is present throughout the story is that of irony. The story itself is ironic since no one can take Swifts proposal seriously. This irony is clearly demonstrated at the end of the story; Swift makes it clear that this proposal would not affect him since his children were grown and his wife unable to have any more children. It would be rather absurd to think that a rational man would want to both propose this and partake in the eating of another human being. Therefore, before an analyzation can continue, one has to make the assumption that this is strictly a fictional work and Swift had no intention of pursuing his proposal any fu .....

How Does Bernard Shaw Satirise
Words: 1974 - Pages: 8.... the plot and the situation. He also makes a mockery of these ideals by eventually allowing the characters to realise for themselves the absurdity of their attitudes. Yet, strangely, perhaps because he realised that his play still had to be acceptable to a wide audience, he seems to allow Romantic ideas to re-emerge at the end.
During the Romantic period exaggeration of things such as love was common, and was, in fact, the basis of the Romantic culture. In ‘Arms and the Man’ there an even greater extent of exaggeration than was common. The characters, the situations and to some extent the plot are all exaggerated in some .....

From each author he tells a story about an individual who had a vision in a dream and the dream came true. He may have been making all the stories up in order to win the argument with Pertelote, but, this seems unlikely because he does not take heed to his own advice and stay away from the fox that encounters him later. He is educated enough to know these supposed quotations but not intelligent enough to understand the real meaning of them. It is if he simply brings because they help him win the argument with his spouse and not because he actually believes what they say .....
