Tragic Triumph
Words: 587 - Pages: 3.... between the quill and the quintessence of the tragedy, Proctor
has a change of heart. I believe that the precise point at which he realizes the exigency of the
situation is when he emits the soul-wrenching cry, “You will not use me!” (142). And so, with
these words, the first provision of a tragedy is furnished.
Miller spares us the full repercussions of Proctor’s decision by ending the play before the
hangings. Still, it is evident what the consequence of Proctor’s insistent grip on integrity will be:
death. I find it much more fitting that Miller excludes the most disparaging part of the play and .....

Hemingway's "A Clean Well-Lighted Place": The Concept Of Nada
Words: 1308 - Pages: 5.... a plain and simple refuge against the
lonely, dark world that awaits outside (Hemingway 256). However, this cafe
must close at some time or another thus proving that the cafe isn't enough
to combat the nada. It is not even a place but an artificial, man-made
building that tries to fight against this real idea of nada. If one has
the internal qualities, cleanliness and inner vision, they can cope with
the nothingness even outside of the cafe. The old waiter is a prime example.
At times the old man lacks these qualities thus not being able to cope
with the darkness. On the other hand, the young waiter has no concept of

Another bizarre aspect of the movie is how the director, ---, por .....

Words: 391 - Pages: 2.... about her lost love.
She knew that she would weep again when she saw the kind, tender hands folded in death; the face that had never looked safe with love upon her, fixed and gray and dead.
Her love may not have been the greatest love of all time, but it was still love.
Marriage was not kind to Mrs. Mallard, her life was dull and not worth living, her face showed the years of repression. If she did love this man, why was marriage so harmful to her? Marriage was a prison for her
There would be no powerful will bending her in that blind persistence with which men and women believe they have a right to impose a private will upon a fellow creat .....

Creon also exhibits stubbornness along with his pride, this is evident when he states “My enemy is still my enemy, even in death.” (p181.575). His pride becomes even stronger when others attempt to defy his will. His argument with his son Haemon demonstrates this where he states, “...let it be from a man; we must not let people say that a woman beat us.” (p187.733) and when he asks “Should the city tell me how I am to rule them?” ( .....
