A Doll's House: Theme Of Emancipation Of A Woman
... the dance, he proclaims "When I saw you turn and sway in the
tarantella--my blood was pounding till I couldn't stand it" showing how he
is more interested in Nora physically than emotionally. When Nora responds
by saying "Go away, Torvald! Leave me alone. I don't want all this",
Torvald asks "Aren't I your husband?". By saying this, he is implying that
one of Nora's duties as his wife is to physically pleasure him at his
command. Torvald also does not trust Nora with money, which exemplifies
Torvald's treating Nora as a child. On the rare occasion when Torvald
gives Nora some money, he is concerned that she will waste it on candy and
pastry; in modern tim ...

Also because he had the strength to push on for his family. To keep goin through the hardest times, and overcome his obstacles. He also represents knowledge from his experiences with fix ...

... the substances from which everything tangible is made.....” This is the start of the analogy that spans the entire novel. Still in Chapter 1, Atkins describes the “landscape” of the table as, “savannah blends into gentle valleys, which gradually deepen into almost fathomless gorges; hills gradually rise from plains to become towering mountains.” By using this type of vocabulary at the beginning of the novel to describe the table it prepares you for the analogies used later on in the novel. Also it is very helpful in understanding the suttle nuances of the periodic table. The first chapter gives you an introduction into Atkins’ thinking, we learn of that the ...

Jane Eyre: The Preserverance Of The Personality
... exploration.
The opening chapters of the work are as crucial as childhood can be; the books, especially Bewick's British Birds, that Jane reads at Gateshead determine her imagination: in the pictures she paints, the way she interprets her story. The shocking account of that extreme terror and brutality she suffers from John and Mrs Reed (the book flung at her, shut up in the red-room) points out that the fountainhead of her emotional life is the experience of oppression. Yet, her little self is full of fiery energy (as one of the servants observed: "Did ever anybody see such a picture of passion!" ), which like a volcano erupts at times in the form of revolt aga ...

Animal Farm: Allegory Of Stalinism
... ”Only get rid of the Man, and the produce of our
labour would be our own. Almost overnight we could be rich and free. What then
must we do? Why, work night and day, body and soul, for the overthrow of the
human race! That is my message to you, comrades. Rebellion!”
