But despite these hints, he still refers to himself as part of the House of York, shown in the repeated use of "Our".

Interpretation Of Ibsen's "A Doll's House"
Words: 1322 - Pages: 5.... revels in the thought of luxuries that can now be afforded, who is become
with flirtation, and engages in childlike acts of disobedience (259). This
inferior role from which Nora progressed is extremely important. Ibsen in his
"A Doll's House" depicts the role of women as subordinate in order to emphasize
the need to reform their role in society.
Definite characteristics of the women's subordinate role in a
relationship are emphasized through Nora's contradicting actions. Her
infatuation with luxuries such as expensive Christmas gifts contradicts her
resourcefulness in scrounging and buying cheap clothing; her defiance of Torvald .....

Antigone: Creon
Words: 2136 - Pages: 8.... absolute power has even on a good man, and is typical of the democratic Athenian attitude.
Though her role is smaller, Antigone is the more difficult character to understand. Some have judged her to be guilty of the sin of pride and overwhelmed by an immature or masochistic desire to martyr herself. Others consider her a woman of innate nobility and idealism, unwilling to compromise the truth as she sees it, who suffers a cruel and undeserved punishment. In either case, it is important to realize that Antigone is driven by her principles and a reasoned analysis of the situation.
The positions of Antigone and Creon are opposed, but both po .....

was when he confessed to the court that he had an affair with Abigail just to
save his life.

at some times. An instance of Proctor's extremity was when he shouted, "I say -
I say - God is dead!"(Pg. 119), and that he will see all of them burn in hell.
That statement implied to the court that Proctor worshipped the Devil and
committed perjury. When Proctor tore the warrant issued for the arrest of
Elizabeth showed his ability to defy the court and in a way his religion because
the court was controlled b .....

Freud's Oz: Freudian Views In The Wizard Of Oz
Words: 1709 - Pages: 7.... Also, since Dorothy's adventure to
Oz is clearly in the form of a dream, it seems a good way of analyzing
Dorothy's maturation is by looking at this dream compared with real ones,

Freudian Daniel Dervin ( Over The Rainbow 163 ), is Dorothy witnessing the
"primal scene". The "primal scene" refers to a child witnessing sexual
intercourse between mother and father; an moment that is both terrifying
and confusing to the child. According to Dervin, this event sends Dorothy
