Lord Of The Flies
... «beast», and the conflict between Jack’s band on the one hand and Ralph and Simon on the other.
This theme is mostly revealed through symbolism. Ralph is the symbol of good, while Jack is the symbol of evil. This can be seen, for example, by the fact that Ralph is the one providing law and order, and he is constantly involved in several projects for welfare and safety, which he tries to carry through the best he can. Ralph and Simon, who are both good, build shelters and maintain the fire only to preserve a good situation and health for their fellow islanders.
Jack is a symbol of evil. He and his choir boys, who are presented almost as an army, have no respect ...

Honest Iago
... do evil." "Motiveless" is implied in the definition of malignity. That one has a "disposition to do evil" is to say evil is in the nature of the malignant person; motive is not an issue. "Motiveless malignity" is redundant in the pure meaning of the words. Does Coleridge mean to say that Iago cannot help himself from being evil or does he mean that what Iago did was without motive? For the sake of this discussion, Coleridge intends the later.
Abbott states "in truth character is what a person is; reputation is what he is supposed to be." (Websters) Is Iago evil? No, he is not. Walter Lippmann says that "evil is not a quality of things as such. It is a qual ...

Journey Of The Magi
... a full description of the way life was by the Magus who narrates his story of their journey to Bethlehem to witness the end of an era and the birth of a new one.
According to the Oxford Dictionary of the Bible, “contrition is a penitent’s spiritual sorrow for the sins he has committed, and it necessarily includes hatred for such sins, as well as the determination to avoid them in the future.” In the first stanza, this “spiritual sorrow” is apparent by the contrast Eliot uses, of the Magi’s difficult journey. In fact, the central focus of criticism has been on the journey; the “cold coming” (line 1) during “the worst time of the year” (line 2), emphasising the clim ...

Animal Farm 2
... needs. That, to them, seemed wrong and they knew that they had to do something about it. Old Major mentioned a Rebellion and it was all the animals hoped for. But it was up to them to rebel. Then he thought them a song “Beasts of England” that they sang on and on to memorize.

The Great Gatsby
... So at the end,
Mr.Gatsby's dream still had not came true because Daisy did not
break up with Tom and go with him. It can be seen in the last
chapter on the novel, when Gatsby was murder, Daisy went to
somewhere else with her husband, and did not go to Gatsby's
funeral.
I called up Daisy half and hour after we found him,
called her instinctively and without hersitation. But
she and Tom had gone away early that afternoon, and
taken baggage with them.
Therefore, Nike Carroway's analysis was right by these
clear observation.
However, Nike Carroway is a good n ...

MACBETH, Analysis Of Come You
... conjuring up evil spirits. She does not seem a bit intimidated by the spirits she is calling. Her tone of voice suggests she is almost commanding the spirits to help her carry out her plan. William Shakespeare intentionally attached this phrase in the beginning of the sentence, so that the reader sees Lady Macbeth as more of an evil character, which in her own way conjures evil spirits.
In the first part of the second line Lady Macbeth says, “That tend on mortal thought.” Literally, it means that she wants the evil spirits that wait on thoughts of murder or death to come to her. This phrase foreshadows the many deaths that await us by the end of the novel. By ...

Mosquito Coast
... all the old and usual suspects. These may have been timely villains back when Jessica Mitford first wrote about planned obsolescence in the 1950s, but now they're just tired subjects. And, in Paul Schrader's heavy-verbiage screenplay they're just plain annoying.
On and on, a Hawaiian-shirted Ford spouts the evils of double-digit inflation and plastic consumerism. He's so fanatic about it, he's uprooted his family from their pastoral home home and lugged them off to a primitive jungle coast. He's filled with cockeyed, romantic notions on building a jungle utopia for himself and his family.
In this decision, as in all other decisions, the family, including his d ...

Great Gatsby
... Jordan insisted she receive special privileges because of her wealth and celebrity status. Her comment, "They'll keep out of my way," implies that other drivers will keep out of her way. She has a spoiled altitude towards because she thinks she owns the road. She is also hypocritical because she hates careless people even though she is a careless driver herself.
Daisy Buchanan expresses her vanity in the words she says. For example, she once said, "I've been everywhere and seen everything and love everything," implying that she has been around the globe and seen everything there is to offer. She thinks that she can solve the problems of the world because s ...
