... doesn’t hear about how heavily the murders are weighing on his heart, or how he is tormented by visions of the crime. He doesn’t feel the least bit guilty about having committed the crime, only his pride’s hurt. He doesn’t mention the idea of the pain that might arise from recurrent visions of the crime. Raskolnikov never again recalls the massive amounts of blood everywhere, the look on Lizaveta’s face when he brings down the axe on her head. These things clearly show that the crime isn’t what might cause him suffering, or pain, it is something else. After Raskolnikov is sent off to Siberia, he doesn’t feel remorseful. His feelings haven’t changed about his c ...

... would retreat back to their money. It was always other people that had to pay for Tom and Daisy's careless mistakes. Daisy also admitted that she was careless in a dialogue with Nick. "I am careful." "No, you're not" "Well, other people are," she said lightly. "What's that got to do with it?" "They'll keep out of my way," she insisted. "It takes two to make an accident." "Suppose you meet somebody just as careless as yourself." "I hope I never will," she answered. "I hate careless people."(63) She quickly responded to Nick that she doesn't need to be ...

... be the plot. In the story, Charlie, is subject to an experiment which increases his intelligence in hopes of knowing more in the soul purpose of impressing people to gain friends. Unfortunately some of his anticipations were not met. The main characters in the novel include Charlie, Alice, Algernon, and Fay, a character who did not make much of an appearance, but in my eyes believed, that she played a very important part in Charlie's involvement in trying to sort out his past and figure out his present and future plans. Charlie is a mentally retarded person who has impressing people and gaining friends as one of his top priorities. He then hears of an exper ...

... are those of heroic characters which would include Hester Prynne "It had the effect of a spell, taking her out of the ordinary relations with humanity, and enclosing her in a sphere by herself."2 A heroic character is "bigger than those found in ordinary life" and also is strong, brave, noble, risky and powerful. Another characteristic he includes is the writing of mysterious events such as the adultery of Hester, the birth of Pearl and the return of her husband Roger Chllingworth. The uses of the "theory of Romance" by Hawthorn follows an order. The order is initiated by Hawthorn looking for to write on a serious topic. The topic is the adultery of ...

... they "don't belong no place". They are both considered to linger among the lowest rung of the social ladder. Society has driven these two men to believing in the idea that they "ain't got nothing to look ahead to." Even though George and Lennie have a dream about owning "a little house and a couple of acres an' a cow and some pigs and rabbits"someday, their own individual faults hinder their dream from ever coming true. George's fatal flaw is that he puts to much trust in Lennie. Lennie is mentally handicapped, and everyone refers to him as "a cuckoo".

... perspectives. The defeat of the Equal Rights Amendment, the rise of the religious right, the election of Ronald Reagan, and many sorts of backlash (mostly hugely misinformed) against the women's movement led writers like Atwood to fear that the antifeminist tide could not only prevent further gains for women, but turn back the clock. Dystopias are a kind of thought experiment which isolates certain social trends and exaggerates them to make clear their most negative qualities. They are rarely intended as realistic predictions of a probable future, and it is pointless to criticize them on the grounds of implausibility. Atwood here examines some of the traditional ...

... the Nazi Girls' Club: " 'How can I join such a club?' I icily asked. 'Look at what the Germans are doing to the Jews in Germany.' ...Let her take a good look at me and see with her own eyes that some 'Aryan' woman was not to be swept in by the Nazis." (Gies, p. 41, 1987). The main source of background to the author's viewpoint is her own story. In order to further discuss her main points and views, a summary of her story must be given. The book began with a brief history of the childhood of Miep Gies. She was born in Vienna, Austria in 1909, where she lived with her parents until the age eleven year. She was then sent to Am ...

... David told me that right after he met Sophie and saw her extra toe, that is all that was running through his head. The definition of man according to all of you is: …each leg shall be jointed twice and have one foot, and each foot five toes, and each toe shall end with a flat nail…and any creature that shall seem to be human but is not formed thus is not human…It is a blasphemy against the true Image of God, and hateful in the sight of God. (Wyndham.13). Is this definition actually true? Not according to the Holy Bible; the real Bible. It tells us, "But I say to you, love your enemies…" (Matthew 5:44). Even if your enemies have ...

... formed the idea that he loved her through his limited knowledge and through his adolescent view of relationships. His love was simplistic, yet real. He had concrete reasons for his love. He enjoyed being with her. He looked forward to meeting her in the hollow cedar tree. He went out of his way to see her, even if she did not see him. He thought of her no matter what he was doing. In the simplest sense of the word, he loved Hatsue. Hatsue was the second to think she fell in love. She reacted to Ishmael. When they kissed on the boat, she did not think as much of it as Ishmael. She did not realize he loved her until he told her. She then realized she liked being w ...

... Dream, as in the Gatsby, the further we get sometimes. Love is an intense of feeling of deep affection or fondness for a person or a thing. In the novel, The Great Gatsby, Daisy's love for Gatsby is very shallow. The affections she has for him are only feelings of respect of his success because Jay prospers in all his intentions. Daisy highly regards Gatsby because of his determination of getting anything he wants. Hence, love is not shown very profoundly by Daisy towards Gatsby. She has already married Tom and has a daughter by him. She married him during the time Gatsby joins the military, with a thought of him not coming back. Before Gatsby joins the milit ...
