The Great Gatsby's Theme

The Lord Of The Flies
... their own devils from within. In effect, their world isn’t so different from the one we live in now.
I find it ironic that the very person who interrupted the children’s sick man-hunt of Ralph, will take the children to his ship, which will then hunt the enemy in the very same fashion. Society is no better than the children who are stuck on the island and showing their violent attributes. However, these children were saved, only to be exposed to the exact same situation on a greater level. The entire time the boys were stuck on that terrifying island they were wishing for an adult to come and release them from it. Who then will rescue this individual ...

Even in the next part of the play we observe Tituba create and elaborate lies which is the first we see of the evil which is unleashed by the witch hunt.

Therefore there was pressure for neighbours to reveal other’s sin. The desire for privacy makes one suspect others because if they do not convict others it looks as if they themselves might ha ...

Emma 2
... that an excess of pride or vanity is indeed a failing. Those characters who can recognize their flaw emerge as the true heroes of the story. In many minor characters of the novel, pride is a common characteristic. Mrs. Bennet, for instance, is extremely proud when it comes to her daughters marriages of mercenary advantage.

This is best shown with the case of Elizabeth Bennet s proposed marriage to the esteemed Mr. Collins, a man she did not love. Mrs. Bennet was so upset when her daughter refused Mr. Collin ...

seen or heard, and taken to Ministry of Love, which concerned itself with
law and order. No one knew what happened in the Ministry of Love, but
people who were taken there most often disappeared. Their very existence
falsified by the Ministry of Truth.
Winston hid his hate of the Party very well from the telescreens.
He hated the party but he knew there was nothing he could do. He had heard
