.... many times. Hamlet had many opportunities to kill Claudius, but did not take advantage of them. He also had the option of making his claim public, but instead he chose not too. A tragic hero doesn't need to be good. For example, MacBeth was evil, yet he was a tragic hero, because he had free will. He also had only one flaw, and that was pride. He had many good traits such as bravery, but his one bad trait made him evil. Also a tragic hero doesn't have to die. While in all Shakespearean tragedies, the hero dies, in others he may live but suffer "Moral Destruction". In Oedipus Rex, the proud ye .....

.... living in a society where Alex was free to take things into his own hands, where he is able to rape, torture, and murder at his own discretion, he was experiencing a lifestyle free of oppression, moral, or immoral. However it is Alex’s over-abuse of his free-will that causes him to be arrested and jailed. While in jail new character traits arise from a “conditioned� (Burgess, 80) Alex. It is evident that the rigorous conditioning and oppression against Alex, sensitized him against violence, thus curbing him towards a moral outlook on life. “But, sir, sirs, I see that it’s wrong. It’s wrong because it’s against like societ .....

.... the privilege of sleeping with their brides before the husbands were permitted,� (Mason15). Each of our heroes has many enemies. Odysseus’ main enemy that keeps him from returning home is Poseidon. Poseidon was the father of Polyphemos, who was blinded by Odysseus. Circe, an enchantress and daughter of the sun, was also an enemy of Odysseus who wished to turn Odysseus and his men into swine. In the poem Gilgamesh and Enkidu defeat the Bull of Heaven. The Bull of Heaven is also an enemy of Gilgamesh sent as a punishment for his arrogance. Mason states, “She [Ishtar] shook in greater rage and said she had no time to listen to remind .....

.... has an enormous role in this film. “Rosebud� is the last word uttered by Cane. He then dies and takes his secret to the death. The film follows one reporter on his search to the truth. Throughout the film, the tragical existence of powerful newspaper tycoon Charles Foster Kane, becomes apparent. He spends most of his life in solitude. Although he was married twice, he always stayed alone. This was because of his incapacity of felling love, which was caused by his insecure childhood. Kane was unwillingly taken away from his mother as a young child; this single event molded Kane into the narcissistic man he became. The only time K .....

.... is under constant pressure from his father to become “more manly�. His father constantly demoralises him and on one occasion brands him a “lily-livered poofter�. The symbolism of using such words is evident in this text as lilies are something that David admires yet are extremely “girlish� in the eyes of his father, a man. In an effort to please his father David took it upon himself to kill a possum that had become a menace to his father, this would make him a man, this would grant him his “rite of passage�. The possum eventually appeared and was described as David would describe his much-loved lilies, “soft, beautiful, wh .....

.... many things. Most of the boys there are always talking about the war and about headlines that discuss the bombings in central Europe. Most of them realize that there is a war going on and that it is a huge problem, however, they do think of it as an adventure in itself. "'I'm giving it up, I'm going to enlist. Tomorrow.' I felt a thrill when he said it. This was the logical climax of the whole misbegotten day, this whole out-of-joint term at Devon. I think I had been waiting for a long time for someone to say this so that I could entertain these decisive words myself." Another reference to real warfare was that they were always .....

.... We understand that this meant that the outer room, lit with soft and shaded light, implies poverty, where as the inner room, illuminated with bright candles, expresses wealth. The darkened room, insinuating poverty, is the office in which the poor Old Ekdal 'does some extra copying,' and in return receives a small income. The inside room, representing wealth, is Old Werle's dining room where he was hosting a party. The distinctions of these two lit rooms contrast Old Ekdal and Old Werle. "In contrast to Werle's party, the lighting is of comparative poverty 'on the table a lighted lamp'"(190), explain .....

.... you should fight for your life and take it day by day. In the second stanza the poet says "Though wise men at their end know dark is right, because their words had forked no lighting they don not go gentile into that good night" I thin what the poet is trying to say is even though you’re getting older and you know the time is coming you haven’t shown a sign of death you ‘re still have life so fight against death. Then in third stanza the poet describes someone who lived a good life but doesn’t want to let go "Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright their deed might have danced in a green bay, rage rage against the dying o .....

The young lady becomes convinced that these two apparitions she sees are indeed these two previous residents (Peter Quint and Miss Jessel.) The rest of the novel is dedicated to showing the young lady's despair, and Miss Jessel.) The rest of the novel is dedicated to showing the young lady's despair, how she convinces herself that the children are aware of the apparitions, and how they all together are forming a conspiracy against her.

.... character. One can see this because he immediately assumed Phineas to be "bigger than I,"(100) instead of waiting to meet him and then forming an opinion that maybe Phineas would be pleasant. His first impression of him was as a bully, therefore, we think that Gene is afraid of him, which would make him insecure. Another example of Gene's insecurity occurs just after Gene and Phineas meet. "That first day, standing in our comfortless room amid his clothes, he began to talk and I began to listen."(100) This quotation shows that Gene was too afraid to say what he wanted. He did not have enough courage even to interject when Phineas wa .....
