Words: 349 - Pages: 2.... about a year later and also describes the tar and feathering of a Tory man. His description is more of what I’ve always believed a tar and feathering to be: humiliating and a chance for the public to punish a person themselves. The rebel states that the man was stripped naked, tar and feathers put all over his body, then he was tied up and carted around the town while the public inflicted punishment for only half an hour, not like the five hours that Hulton describes. He doesn’t describe what this punishment is but I’m sure it wasn’t as bad as the near-death experience that Ann Hulton described in her letter .....

The Idiot
Words: 3214 - Pages: 12.... destructive forces that surround her.
Nastasya Filippovna, defined by her sensual beauty and remarkable looks, is already mentioned by page ten. Her presence remains strong throughout Book One and we may learn a great deal from this section about the proud Nastasya Filippovna. The most dominant feature of Nastasya Filippovna is her beauty. Her great beauty overwhelms even the Prince, who at first we may believe is not inclined to notice sensuality of women. Looking at her picture he calls her "astonishingly pretty"; he notes her "exquisite simplicity," her "dark, deep eyes" (31). Even from her youth Nastasya Filippovna's beauty has caus .....

This is seen from the fact that even though he is often very reserved and distant, the one time he shows emotion it is directed towards her. The act takes place towards the end of the novel, after Darcy announces to him his intention of marriage. The reader first notices that he is not his usual self when Lizzy walks into the library.

You become very close to the oneness Matthiessen describes, “Then I breathe, and the mountain breathes, setting the world in motion once again.”(198) Nevertheless this oneness is very hard to achieve in practice and harder still to maintain.
