Odysseus? A Hero?
Words: 541 - Pages: 2.... him. Circe said to Odysseus, "Then come follow me… in the Magic House of Circe" (Homer923). Although he was warned about Circe, he still went back and got his men to also follow his mistake. Going to Circe’s "Magic House" was a bad decision for Odysseus to make. Odysseus did not consider the results of his decisions.
Odysseus endangered his men. Odysseus said, "Yet I refused. I wished to see the caveman… no pretty sight, it turned out, for my friends" (Homer 900).

Irony Of Dickens In Oliver Twi
Words: 382 - Pages: 2.... clear examples of the novel’s dynamic use of verbal irony. The novel also has some good situational irony. A good example is when the pigs begin to walk, something that they vowed they would never do, or when they got drunk, again, something they vowed they would never do. In addition to verbal and situational irony, we can too find some dramatic irony.

While that is a good example, the best, perhaps, is the ending where it is stated that the onlooker could not tell the d .....

In me thou see’st the twilight of such day As after sunset fadeth in the west, Which by and by black night doth take away, Death’ .....
