All of the actions taken by Roark had a deep profound effect on one key player in the novel, Toohey. Toohey with all the power he had with the public and through the newspaper, was not able to manipulate Howard into his way of thinking. The general public who read the Banner had been convinced that Toohey new what he was talking about on all subjects.

... is of a compassionate kind, this blinded her to his true nature, as Herbert remarked, "too haughty and too much in love to be advised by anyone." At Compeysons desertion her anger and sorrow became extreme and she threw herself and Satis House into perpetual mourning and a monument to her broken heart, shutting the world out and herself from the world. Her only concession is in her adoption of Estella. Miss Haversham has ulterior motives in adopting Estella, this is not a loving action on her part, but a calculated manoeuvre to turn the child into a haughty, heartless instrument of revenge against men. Estella is encouraged to practice her disdain on Pip and ...

... his favorite, the brick maker, seem to fear Kurtz as a threat to their position. Kurtz is rumored to be ill, making the delays all the more costly. Marlow eventually gets the parts he needs to repair his ship, and he and the manager set out with a few agents (whom Marlow calls pilgrims because of their strange habit of carrying long, wooden staves wherever they go) and a crew of cannibals on a long, difficult voyage up the river. They come across a hut with firewood stacked and a note saying it is for them but to approach cautiously. Natives attack them and the helmsman is killed before Marlow frightens the natives away with the steam whistle. They come to Kurtz's I ...

... manifests in many scenes throughout The Awakening. Modeled after the Napoleonic Code of France, the Louisiana Code states explicitly in article 1124 that, "married women with babies and the mentally ill were incompetent to make a contract" (Wyatt 1). This law exhibits the attitude toward women in this time period. The code also goes on to state that women are the possessions of their husbands, and the male is in complete control over the family. Chopin hints at the idea of women as a possession in the first chapter. After coming in from the beach, Léonce Pontellier remarks to his wife, Edna, that she looks extremely sunburned in a way that "one looks at a valuable ...

... a game where the only way to lose is if you don’t play. After living in an all black town until she was thirteen and being able to just be herself, when she moved to Jacksonville, FL., a larger more diverse city, she see’s what it’s like to be coloured. It’s thrown into her face. All the black people aren’t doctors, lawyers, butchers and postal workers like they were in Eatonville. As she states, “I feel most coloured when I am thrown into a sharp white backround.” She realizes that not everyone is the same anymore as they were in Eatonville. She knows that she’s “not in Kansas anymore”, similar to what anyone would feel being out of their realm. Unlike the ...

... are good. God addresses the Son to be in the likeness of himself in Book three by saying, "The radiant image of his glory sat, his only Son."(Bk. 3, 63-64). Although this implies that the Son is a model of perfection as is God, it does not clarify it by stating it outright. Milton definitely portrays Satan's evil in Book four by asserting that Satan is hell and that evil is his good because good has been lost to him. (Bk. 4, lines 75, 108-110). Satan's moral state further decays in Book nine as detailed in a soliloquy at the beginning of the book by Satan. Satan recognizes his descent into bestiality after once being in contention with the gods to sit o ...

... to make his own money. By going from the midwest to the east, Fitzgerald shows Nick's desire to have more money. After spending the summer in the east and seeing how money affects people, he decides to go back west. I see now that this has been a story of the west, after all-Tom and Gatsby, Daisy and Jordan and I, were all westerners and and perhaps we possessed some deficiency in common which made us subtly unadaptable to eastern life. In other words, after finding out what the east was really like, Nick lost his interest in being in the east and returned to the west. Gatsby came east looking for another type of m ...

... get away from there. Therefore, Gene escaped, and joined the navy.
