Tolkiens's Lord Of The Rings
... for hobbits were easy
going with their children in the matter of sitting up late." ; "What may
you be wanting?"; "It was a cheerless land"; "The hobbits were merrymaking
happily."
Not only does the language create a land but it may also add a bit of
humor. This humor can also express the merriness of the people that have
been written about. The language, in English is not exactly incorrect but
it is odd, strange, and different, which matches the theme and plot.
Tolkien, like mostly every other author has one main, specific goal
during the exposition of the story, which is to capture the reader's
attention. In the beginning of "The Lord of the Ri ...

Morrison's Jazz: Characters' Actions
... who is simply a cheating husband who kills his
girlfriend, but this also is abolished when the extenuating circumstances
of his history are described. Dorcas plays the role of the piteous,
innocent woman who is stuck in the middle of this crisis at the beginning,
but is relieved of this generalized characterization through her actions
towards Joe and her search for self-satisfaction. Even though the history
that is recounted in this novel is more gossip than fact, it presents a
more accurate story than the one depicted in the “offical story” located at
the beginning of the novel. Toni Morrison attempts, through these three
characters to illustrate how the narra ...

religious facts, and making him act in a way that the women find socially

finds the demands the women place upon him constraining and the life with
them lonely. As a result, soon after he first moves in with them, he runs
away. He soon comes back, but, even though he becomes somewhat comfortable
with his new life as the ...

The Monk even preached against ideas and traditions that called hunters
unholy.
The Monk used church money for his own personal use. He had a big
home and a stable of horses which was bought with church funds. He also

Crime And Punishment In Wuther
... were displaced towards Heathcliff instead of himself. Far later in the novel, this terrible attitude backfires upon Hindley, who is misused and cheated out of ownership of Wuthering Heights by Heathcliff. This crime parallels another: Heathcliff’s abhorrent abuse of both Hindley in his weakened state and Hindley’s son Hareton, who is made the stablehand instead of the rightful owner of the Heights. Heathcliff also trespassed when he imprisoned Catherine upon her visits to his son Linton. He coerced her into marrying Linton while her own father was dying, and so gained ownership of Thrushcross Grange as well as the Heights.
