Don Quixote: The Misadventures Of A Lunatic
Words: 2232 - Pages: 9.... only two fools running around the countryside.
Cervantes tries to make his book more interesting with the use of point of view. Don Quixote sees what his mind and imagination create, not that which is transferred through the optic nerves in a very clean-cut scientific manner. He retreats to a world that holds meaning for him. When he first departs, he stops at an inn and his eyes make it a beautiful castle with blushing maids and noble sirs. The wench Aldonza is turned into Dulcinea, his one true love, who he swears by in his battles and contemplates when he is idle. Another example of his point-of-view is the famous windmill incident.

Satirizing America The Purpose
Words: 1168 - Pages: 5.... the irony that surrounds the situation at the Phelps’ farm. The Phelps’ were good-natured Christians whom were taught by society that slavery was morally right. Therefore, Jim is treated accordingly and locked up in a shed for running away. One subtle part of the irony is that the cruelest person to Jim was not the Phelps’, who locked him in the shed, nor the king, who sold Jim to the Phelps. Instead the most cruel person happens to be Tom Sawyer. Tom needlessly put Jim through arduous conditions: first, for knowing that Jim was already a free man, and secondly, such measures were not necessary for the simple task .....

[Act I, Scene II, L. 68] and Hamlet puns in response once again, saying "Not so my lord; I am too much in the sun." [Act I, Scene II, L. 69].

[Act I, Scene II, L. 74]. In response to his mothers question Hamlet explains that h .....
