Great Expectations Why Does Pi
... straight away made clear to him from Estella’s language, both body and spoken, that she considers him to be inferior. It is here that, he is for the first time introduced to a girl whom he is later to fall madly in love with. It is here that he is referred to only as boy. It is here that he forms his “Great Expectations”.
From these experiences Pip finds out about what he considers polite society, but Satis House is a place where society is anything but polite. This is exemplified by Estella’s blatant lack of regard for Pip’s feelings; she points out to him for the first time his faults such as his “coarse hands…. th ...

he decides not to throw it at anything and closes the
window...What Holden sees through the ...

Epic Heros In Beowulf And Roland
... a hierarchical society is of great importance, and to fall into shame reflects not only on oneself, but on one's family and nation.
The field on which the epic hero performs is grounded in socio-political and historical 'reality'. Charles Moorman writes that "the world in which Roland lives and fights is ... a very simple world, rigidly, and comfortingly, described by the laws of the Church and Emperor".
