Extensive Symbolism Of The Sca

The letter A manifests in a variety of forms and places. Not only does the A manifest in various forms, but it also acquires a variety of meanings. It represents more than just the sin of adultery. Even as the original mark of adultery, the scarlet letter has a different individual meaning to the various characters. To Hester, the A is a symbol of unjust humiliation. The "A" magnifies in an armor breastplate at the Governor's mansion to "exaggerated and gigantic proportions, .....

Changes In Macbeth
Words: 1140 - Pages: 5.... taught, return to plague th' inventor: this even-handed justice commends th' ingredients of our poisoned chalice to our own lips. He's here in double trust: First, as I am his kinsman and his subject, strong both against the deed; then, as his host, who should against his murderer shut the door, not bear the knife myself. Besides, this Duncan Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been So clear in his great office, that his virtues will plead like angels trumpet- tongued against The deep damnation of his taking-off: And pity, like a naked newborn babe, striding the blast, or heavan's cherubin horsed upon the sightless couriers of the air .....

Similarities In "Miss Jean Brodie", "Dead Poets Society", And "The Trial And Death Of Socrates"
Words: 461 - Pages: 2.... came across loud and
clear. He was idolized by his students. In a school of such dignity and
staunchness, his approach was a breath of fresh air. He was never afraid to put
himself on the line if it meant that his students were to gain. This was no
more evident than with the Dead Poets Society. He knew that if it were ever
uncovered by the faculty higher-ups his job would be, at least, in serious
jeopardy. This is another case of needless persecution of someone with the best
of intentions. It is ridiculous to think that he could have been implicated in
any way to the suicide of one of his students. Firing Professor Keating was the

Wind From A Foriegn Sky
Words: 787 - Pages: 3.... story, everyone lives happily ever after.
I think if I could meet anyone of the characters in the novel, I would like to meet Gaultry. Gaultry reminds me of myself in many ways. She is smart, but she does not always think until it is too late. She always gets herself into trouble by not thinking before acting. Like in the near beginning of the novel when she was attacked by a group of men, instead of using her cunning, she ran. She was almost raped and beaten because of her quick reaction to a situation that might have been avoided. Gaultry is really an everyday hero, she is not stronger, smarter, or braver than any other character .....

Atticus did not treat this litigation such as any other case that he had ever dealt with before, for he new that this one would most likely change his life. The reason: Tom Robinson was a Negro. At the time, segregation was very common among the citizens of his town, and therefore he knew that he stood no chance in winning this indictment, especially based upon the fact that Robinson was charged with a transgression suc .....

Paradise Lost
Words: 689 - Pages: 3.... take it easy on us. Moloch, you said that nothing is worse than sitting down here in Hell and that we should attack Heaven for that reason. I can surely think of some things worse. Do you think that sitting here with each other, talking to each other, and being armed is the worst thing possible? I think not. What about when we laid in the burning lake? That surely was worse. What if the air that keeps those hot fires going blew seven times as hard and covered us in flames? Or if, from above, vengeance's arm should come down upon us and plague us? What if all of the holes in Hell were opened and fire shot out of every crevasse? War, .....
