Rather than give citizens rights and freedoms, the state of the nation was quite similar to that with which it started. From the divine ruler Louis XIV to Napoleon, French citizens were still under an absolute ruler. At that moment, Rousseau interrupts by saying that the general will, while representing the people, must be controlled by the state in order to ensure that the needs of all the people are met. Deciding to take turns speaking to allow for a proper debate, Voltaire begins. Voltaire strived to find good men in a good society, and thought t .....

This troubled Dunny, much more then he would ever let on. On the other hand, Boy was doing as well .....

.... for the rest of America gave Steinbeck inspiration for his work. Other peoples' stories of everyday life became issues for Steinbeck. His writings spoke out against those who kept the oppressed in poverty and therefore was branded as a Communist because of his "voice." Although, it did become a bestseller and receive countless awards, his book was banned in many schools and libraries. However, critics never attacked The Grapes of Wrath on the artistic level and they still consider it a beautifully mastered work of art. More than any other American novel, it successfully embodies a contemporary social problem of national scope i .....

.... when she faces her aunt and the ignorance she received from her in the earlier part of her childhood. The c limax of the story involved her choice to leave Rochester was based on her own self-love; Jane Eyre had no family or friends to influence the decision to flee from comfort. Instead, Jane disciplined and developed herself in the course of the novel. Setting changes varied vastly from section to section, but McFadden-Gerber noted the constant stability of Jane's character the exemplified fortified morals made by her own constant and stagnant conscience. Margaret McFadden-Gerber claims that Jane has little mental mobility, t .....

.... for his first creation he may be endangering others. "The miserable monster whom I had created," (pg.152) says Victor upon looking back at his work. If there is another monster there will be twice the power and possibly twice the evil, which could hurt or kill his family. When and if Frankenstein commits the moral sin of creating another monster he may be rid of both monsters forever. "With the companion you bestow I will quit the neighbourhood of man,"(pg 142) promises the morally corrupt monster to the doctor upon the completion of his partner. When the doctor, if and when he, finished his first creation's mate there is a cha .....

.... Bewick's British Birds, that Jane reads at Gateshead determine her imagination: in the pictures she paints, the way she interprets her story. The shocking account of that extreme terror and brutality she suffers from John and Mrs Reed (the book flung at her, shut up in the red-room) points out that the fountainhead of her emotional life is the experience of oppression. Yet, her little self is full of fiery energy (as one of the servants observed: "Did ever anybody see such a picture of passion!" ), which like a volcano erupts at times in the form of revolt against the "tyrants". It seems that the child's most burning question is what .....

Because Hin .....

.... the constant correction of news. “Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past,� the party slogan reads. Basically, Winston takes real news and twists it to what “Big Brother� wants the people to know. In the grim city and terrifying country, where “Big Brother� is always watching you and the Thought Police can practically read your mind, Winston is a man in great danger for the simple reason that his memory still functions. He knows the party controls people by feeding them lies and taking away their imaginations. The Party forbids thought, love, and relationships. Drawn into a secret l .....

.... is the use of a "microcosm" - a small universe representative of a larger one. Kesey uses the environment of the mental asylum to demonstrate just how hypocritical society can be. As aforementioned, Kesey utilizes many symbols that represent elements in the real world. The very fact that the story takes place in a mental asylum is in itself a commentary on society. In the asylum, it becomes highly evident that a great deal of oppression takes place. Although a considerable amount of abuse is in the physical form, most of it manifests itself in subtle psychological torture. The abuse that specifically takes place is the suppression .....
