.... the play Williams symbolically relates these three characters to animals, 'savages,' by the use of their attitudes, beliefs, appearances and desires. 1"For such characters, no hope can be offered, for they can only react, not act." The most obvious 'savage' character of A Streetcar Named Desire is Stanley Kowalski. He is a large well-toned, territorial male with simple beliefs and a short temper. He feels threatened by Blanche because she moves in on his territory and wants Stella to leave him. At first, Stanley acts physically dominant over both Blanche and Stella; by rifling through Blanches possessions (act 1 scene 3 pg.124 ), quoting .....

.... however, shortly into the battle, where Hector began to feel less and less confidant as he slowly lost. The reason they fought was for a just cause, they both believed, although their causes were quite different. These two warriors were not too similar, but they were very different. One of the most obvious reasons that these two men were different was that one was fighting for the Troy, the other for Greece. Hector, the Trojan, not only had different reasons for fighting with Achilles; he was also very different in his personality and personal traits. The reason that Achilles was fighting was to avenge his friend Patroclus’ .....

.... soldiers were going to fight their own fight, and leave the battle when they felt it necessary. The soldier saw himself as a volunteer, a citizen fighting in a group of citizens, and as a result did not respond well to the traditional forms of discipline. The soldier knew it wasn't necessary for him to serve, and he knew that he would not be looked down upon for not serving or leaving the army by his fellow revolutionaries. He had the freedom to chose how he wished to serve the revolution, and military service was not an obligation. One aspect of the traditional European system that Baron von Steuben felt needed change was the relationshi .....

.... meaning� (163). This means that the words themselves are important, but not as important as the voice behind them. Words alone contain literal and figurative meanings, but these meanings can be more easily understood with the human understandings of voice tones. Finally, after Mrs. Flowers reads the beginning of A Tale of Two Cities aloud with all the emotions of her spoken words, the only way Marguerite can respond is with a, “Yes Ma'am� (164). This shows that she is confused. Short phrases in response to long, heart filled elegies display one's confusion and awe-struck nature. Language, in terms of both the spoken and written .....

.... with this strange man. Hester and the man look at each other as if they have known each other before. They are more than acquaintances.

The scene is also a turning point because it shows the connection with the strange man (Roger Chillingworth.) Roger Chillingworth is a new character being introduced. The hidden relationship between Hester and Chill .....

.... they are as follows: the encounter with Grendel, the encounter with Grendel’s mother, and the encounter with the dragon in the tower. After the first “battle was over, Beowulf Had been granted new glory�(392-393). However, Grendel’s mother soon retaliated against Hrothgar, so the celebration and praise was short lived. The second encounter involved Beowulf traveling to the lake where Grendel’s mother lived and killing her also. After Beowulf killed the beast, he was praised by his “glorious band of Geats�(597) who,�Carried Beowulf’s helmet, and his mail shirt�(600-601) as they walked back to find Hrothgar. As Beowulf ente .....

.... was a prime example of someone trying to disrupt the proper order of society. He was trying to become king when it was not his place in society to do so. Macbeth was susceptible to the information he received from the witches, whereas the other man was not. When Macbeth resorted to violence in order to attain what he thought he deserved, the other man did not. The other man knew he was not in the proper position in society to become king. A more recent film that can be related to Shakespeare’s “Macbeth� is “Lord of the Flies.� In the acclaimed film “Lord of the Flies� a group of young boys are involved in a plane crash. The .....

.... corruption in this tale. The idea that Madeline came back to life to take revenge on her brother is corrupted. Then when the Usher House falls down on both Ushers giving Roderick just enough time to get out. This is not so much corruption, but if you look at it in a different way. it could also be human will.

The second characteristic that Edgar uses is Ratiocination, which means explanation of justification. In the “Fall of the House of Usher�, Poe uses explanation at the beginning. He tells abo .....
