... of the unpardonable sin can be found. If Hawthorne’s unpardonable sin extends to Moby Dick, then the importance of understanding what Hawthorne intended is of wider importance. Secondly, I believe that the meaning and significance of the unpardonable sin is, derived, in part, from social influences of the industrialization of society. That the theme of the unpardonable sin conveys feelings and attitudes of a pre-industrial society which are carried by individual members of the same society a hundred years later. This gives the theme of the unpardonable sin personal importance and understanding of the social causes that happened over a lifetime before the effects ...

... for authority, and exhibited cruel and unacceptable behavior. Harriet, Ben’s mother, tried to alter this behavior by first chastising him and then showing compassion. She sought help from professional therapists who chose to ignore the true nature of Ben’s personality. Lessing suggests that human nature is unchangeable and strongly believes in the “nature” vs. “nurture” theory of personality. From the time of birth, Harriet had conceived Ben as being a belligerent infant whose main purpose in the world was to harm. When he was in her womb, Ben would be “trying to tear its way out of her stomach (38),” in a rage of vigorous jabs and kicks. When Ben was bor ...

... is Big Nurse, who has complete control over the ward. Any decisions that are made over a patient or with regards the running of the ward must go through Big Nurse first. She is seen by the Chief as being almost mechanical in her approach to her running of the ward: She’s got that bag full of a thousand parts she aims to use in her duties today-wheels and gears, cogs polished to a hard glitter…(10) The ward is run by her to a very strict daily routine, which is almost fanatically neurotic in it’s precision and dedication. Chief describes Big Nurse’s devotion to her daily routine: ‘The slightest thing messy or out of kilter in any w ...

... the conch was regarded as having power and authority: "I'll[Ralph] give the conch to the next person to speak. He can hold it when he is speaking." (Golding 33) The struggle of power in this book was very strong separation of the groups. The conch seemed to be the only common bond between the two groups. Even though Jacks' group was separate, when Ralph blew the conch in chapter 10 the boys on Jacks side came out and looked to see what was going on, they still believed in the power of the conch: "He [Ralph] put the conch to his lips and began to blow. Savages appeared, painted out of recognition, edging round the ledge toward the neck. Ralph went on blowing ...

... This allowed our school to make full use of the limited teachers and resources that it had. There was a lot of talented people that taught at Juab and some of them made great teachers and coaches, but some of them didn't. Sometimes it ended up that the football coach/algebra teacher cared a little more about tomorrow's football game than he did about ensuring his algebra students knew how to balance equations, and sometimes the P.E./Science teacher cared a little more about the teaching the tennis unit than she did about teaching the four life processes. Those teachers were also the ones that had to relearn the algebra and science lessons a few ...

... under a sheet of "righteousness". People could accuse anyone or anything of being sinful and "against gods will" just by stating that they had truth to the matter. This led to complete chaos and miscommunication among families and townsmen. Now that society was down everyone could break the rules and get feelings out that had originally been kept inside them due to the fact that if they had expressed them earlier they would have been punished by society. With the trials keeping all of the city officials busy, People took matters into their own hands. This led to even more conflicts between men in the town, which then led to more accusations and victims of the ongoi ...

... black boys are forced to fight one another blindfolded for the entertainment of the drunken whites. Yet despite the humiliation, the blood, and the pain, the narrator concentrates on his speech whether or not the whites would be able to “recognize my ability.” The invisible man’s desire of praise from the whites made him a vulnerable character to be taken advantage of, by not only the whites, but also other characters, like Dr. Bledsoe. Dr. Bledsoe gave the invisible man the role of an inferior fool. Not seeing the person who the invisible man was, Dr. Bledsoe kicked the invisible man out of school for his own benefits. Because the invisible man ...

... by ten travelers who were at a health spa and were on the way home when they end up at a Pyrenean abbey due to massive flooding in the area. They devise a plan to pass time and to gain knowledge, and so the stories are told. In "The Heptameron," marriage seemed to be one of the most difficult things to obtain. It was a duty in which you had to find a suitable person of the same class. As story 42 points out, someone of the higher class could obtain someone as a mistress but not as a wife. Marriage always had to be approved by your mistress. No matter how much one loved another, it also had to be consented between both sides of the family. You could not remarry ...
