Also stated is that Mr. Henchard’s "elbow almost touched (his wife’s) shoulder" while walking beside each other, implying that he was a very tall man.

.... set up of bcb, cdc, ded, and so on. Johan Keats created his own fairy tale land in the lyrical poem “Ode on a Grecian Urn”. Nature and the natural surroundings were important in romanticism. Taking pleasure in untouched scenery and the innocence of life was the basis and theme of “The Seasons” by the Scottish poet James Thomson. This inspired the nature tradition present in English literature, such as the works by Wordsworth. Another aspect in romantic writings, most times connected with the nature feel, was the look on rural life as being almost a romantic melancholy. This was sensing that .....

.... portrayed as an adamant woman in the beginning of , yet as the story progresses, her firmness is broken by various tragedies. Mrs. Ross found it hard to be intimate with people therefore, she kept many things to herself. She felt that "Being loved was letting others feed from your resource-all you had in life was put in jeopardy" (Findley, 153). Mrs. Ross had mourned for years over the sudden death of her brother and her father, now she had lost a daughter and was going to lose a son. It is also evident she kept a lot of things to herself. At Rowena's funeral she stood apart from the rest of the family pretending she did not need any help. .....

.... does not recognize the friend he has in Pip. Without Joe as a major role in Pip's life, Pip also seems very incomplete. Second, Mrs. Joe also serves as the comical interlude of an otherwise sombre story. "When she had exhausted a torrent of such inquiries, she threw a candlestick at Joe, burst into a loud sobbing, got out the dustpan -- which was always a very bad sign -- put on her coarse apron, and began cleaning up to a terrible extent. Not satisfied with a dry cleaning, she took to a pail and scrubbing-brush, and cleaned us out of house and home,..." Truly, a frightening creature is that .....

.... This all boils down to becoming one's own self, in the eyes of themselves, rather than through the eyes of one's parents or society. All of this is seen in Ray's character. He is the father, the husband, and the breadwinner. Then a voice comes to him asking him to do something out of the ordinary. Dig up his farm and create a baseball field. This creates a conflict within himself and his life. Creating this field will undoubtedly lead to a lack of corn, which will decrease his profits and might even cost him his property. On top of the possibility of losing his farm, the possibility of not being able to support his family is even g .....

.... leader full of greed and hate that would bring the tribe close to its end through the violence of his soul. This would not be the end thou, because some time after his death his own son would be sacrificed and consumed by sadness in order to end the dark era of his fathers ruling. He would marry his mother and kill his father, without knowing it. So it came the day when a different kind of chief began to rule the tribe. This leader's name was Wind of Rage and he had a completely different way of thinking he was filled with dreams of conquest and brought long years of war to the tribe, staining the sacred land of peace with tons of blood .....

.... is when they are repairing the fences. This lack of communication and understanding gradually builds up an invisible barrier between them. This invisible barrier that stands between keeps them separate. Even when they are working together fixing the wall, they are staying one on a side of the wall. It seems that Frost enjoys working with his neighbor separately when he says “Oh, just another kind of outdoor game, one on a side�. However Frost also gives us a feeling that there is other meaning to it. A game very often symbolizes a competition, or a fight. We can see it in Frost expression that he doesn’t want to compete with hi .....

.... demonic forces and emerging from them could Ireland return to its ancient and traditional roots and find its place in society. The vampire was a common metaphor used by many authors in an attempt to portray the rising lower class and foreign influence as evil and harmful to modern civilization. The Irish Protestant author Sheridan Le Fanu uses vampires to represent the Catholic uprising in Ireland in his story Carmilla. Like much of gothic fiction, Carmilla is about the mixing of blood and the harm that results from it. When vampires strike, they are tainting the blood of the pure and innocent, causing them to degenerate into undead sa .....

.... in the wallpaper, she becomes obsessed with deciphering its meaning. As her illness progresses, she begins to hallucinate and finally concludes that there is a woman trapped within that “pointless pattern.” Jane knows that she is the only one who can see the woman and, therefore, the woman’s only chance of freedom. Slowly detaching from reality, Jane becomes the woman within the paper not only because of her obsession with it, but because of its parallel to her own life. In her final step toward insanity, she tears the paper off the walls to release the woman and herself. When her husband finds her, with the w .....

.... thirty men, it shows Grendel's great power. Also, there is a great amount of strength during the battle with Beowulf and Grendel's mother. Another ideal portrayed in Beowulf is the right to boast. When the poem talks about Hrothgar's building, that it "…reaches higher toward Heaven then anything That had ever been known to the sons of men…"(6-7), shows Hrothgar's with his riches. Boasting about not needing to use a weapon, Beowulf values to kill Grendel with his bare hands. The biggest amount of boasting in the poem also came from Beowulf when he arrives at Herot. Telling Hrothgar how many monsters he has killed. Finally, the .....
