... man is a wolf to man. Freud felt all men are innately evil and his aggression lies within him as part of human nature.
Freud felt aggression can be hidden deep in our subconscious and explode in certain situations. Aggression does not have to be subconscious in nature. It can be on the surface of our behavior and in constant use.

... whether he refrained from writing it, made no difference. Whether he went on with his diary, or whether he did not go on with it, made no difference. The Thought Police would get him just the same." This thought and many others like it justified Winston's insanity in O'Brien's mind. Winston was defying a power which he knew was undefeatable. O'Brien saw Winston as a madman struggling with the a straight jacket, fighting something which they both knew could not be undone.

Life After Death
... of their lives. Frost’s greatest loss was the death of his son, which is greatly depicted in his poem “Home Burial.” Dickinson suffered the loss of many friends and family. She spent a lot of her time in her room looking out upon the headstones of these people.
The only strong comparison between the poets, in terms of structure and technique, is that the meaning of their poems run much deeper then the specific words on a page. Even this can come as a contrast when looking at these three poems. “Home Burial,” by Frost is a fairly straightforward poem, written in dialogue, with the writer working as the narrator. The poem is about a married couple dealing wit ...

With a look of optimism she replied, "right now I feel completely in control and full of hope. It's night time that is so excruciating and unbearable." Then, a look of fear and hopelessness quickly filled her eyes as she continued on with her explanation of why. She said, "well night is when I feel most alone and desperate for a nurturing protector to comfort my waking nightmares."
At that point I was beginning to feel an overwhelming sense of panic for her recovery,knowing that she has had to live life locking away the hu ...

When his dreams could no longer satisfy him he allowed the image of his brother, Ben, who represented success to guide him. The main tragedy of the play occurred when Willy committed suicide. To understand Willy’s tragedies we must view his psyche, his Unfulfilled dreams, frustrated hope and draw parallels to our present world.

Language In The Aristocrat
... about words, she states, “It takes the human voice
to infuse them with shades of deeper meaning” (163). This means that the words themselves are important, but not as important as the voice behind them. Words alone contain literal and figurative meanings, but these meanings can be more easily understood with the human understandings of voice tones.

This shows that she is confused. Short phrases in response to long, heart filled elegies display one's confusion and awe- ...

Why would such an exceptional environment be so inexpensive? He failed to question this. "There were no other hats or coats in the hall. There were no umbrellas, no walkingsticks-nothing."
