Twelfth Night - The Changing Role In Viola/Cesario
... sees Cesario, as a young squire just starting out in the world, much like himself as a young, spry lad, so he has a tendency to be more willing to unload onto her with his troubles and sorrows, seeking a companion with which to share and to teach. Thus, Viola grows in her male disguise to get a better feeling for his inner self, not the self that he shows to the public, or would reveal and share with Viola in her true female self, but rather his secret self, as he believes he shares with a peer. So, she grows to love him. But, Orsino's motivation is actually not love for Viola, but rather he seems to be in love with love itself. His entire world is fil ...

Franklins Preface To Poor Rich
... lets the reader know that time shouldn’t be wasted on doing things that won’t better yourself or others.
Franklin tells us that in order to be frugal, we can’t waste anything. People who spend lavishly should listen to the maxim, "Silks and Satins, Scarlet and Velvets put out the Kitchen Fire". This saying reminds us that the nice, expensive things all work just as well as the generic ones. Another proverb that a person
with no frugality should abide by is, "Women and Wine, Game and Deceit, Make the Wealth small, and the Wants great." This is one I can definitely relate to. Women, wine, and playing around all do put a dent in your pocket ...

The Story
... The few that do appreciate it well.
One such person was Ned Devine. He truly adored all stories. Whether they were children’s or adult’s from all around the world, he truly worshiped nothing else. He knew many of them by heart and could recite them word for word after having read the books and seen the movies at least twenty times each. Now however, he was tired of reading and watching the stories of others. Wearied he was of the few yet constant imperfections in the ideas of the material he so well enjoyed over the many decades of his life. Worn was he of the stories that were too short, or that had unsatisfying conclusions he made a decis ...

Young Goodman Brown - Symbolism
... of their personalities. "'With Heaven above and Faith below, I will stand firm against the devil!' cried goodman Brown," is just one of many quotes that directly relates goodman Brown's personality with his name (189). Goodman Brown is truly a good man. Faith, goodman Brown's wife, also has a name that is indicative of her nature. The story directly supports this point in the phrase "Faith, as the wife was aptly named . . . " (184). Faith is persistent in trying to keep goodman Brown off the path of sin in the first part of the story: " . . . pr'y thee, put off your journey until sunrise, and sleep in your own bed to-night" (184). Hawthorne does ...

Beowulf - Christianity Vs. Paganism
... In his battle with Grendel, Beowulf chooses not to use weapons; he relies on his super strength. During the fight, Beowulf's strength takes over, and Beowulf wrestles with Grendel until he is able to rip one of the monster's arms out of its socket. Superhuman feats also appear in the fight with Grendel's mother. When Beowulf enters the water, he swims, without the use of oxygen, downward for an entire day before he sees the bottom. During the battle with Grendel's mother, Beowulf realizes that Unferth's sword is useless against the monster’s thick skin. He grabs an enormous sword made by giants, almost too heavy to hold, and slashes through the monster's body ...

The Time Maching (analysis)
... stories. -James Gunn
Wells vision of the future, with its troglodytic Morlocks descended from the working class of his
day and the pretty but helpless Eloi devolved from the leisure class, may seem antiquated political theory. It
emerged out of the concern for social justice that drew Wells to the Fabian Society and inspired much of his
later writing, but time has not dimmed the fascination of the situation and the horror of the imagery.
The Time Machine brought these concerns into his fiction. It, too, involved the future, but a future
imagined with greater realism and in greater detail than earlier sto ...

Beloved
... with a name by which the preacher refers to the spectators at the burial. Sethe thus named the child after herself, insofar as she, Sethe, was whom the preacher was addressing as "dearly ." In this way she brands her detached conscience with guilt.
I call it her "detached conscience" because in order to go on with life Sethe needed to remove herself from her guilt. She removes herself so completely that her neighbors, already upset at her crime, isolated her because she seemed to feel no remorse for the awful deed. Sethe's stoic resolve continues until Denver loses her hearing, which was caused by Denver not being able to deal with hearing what her mothe ...

The Theme Of Diversity In Novels
... because they have a maid
and Brenda's Mom doesn't have to pick up a finger. Neal and Brenda's
families are obviously placed in different social brackets and this adds to
the conflict that the relationship is not equal.
From the readers point of view, the tie that Neil feels toward
Brenda is one of physical attraction. "She dove beautifully and a moment
later she was swimming back to the side of the pool, her head of
shortclipped auburn hair held up, straight ahead of her, as though it were
a rose on a long stem." (Roth 3) He sees her only as a beautiful woman and
allows that to get in the way of actually realizing the true reasons for
her actions. Brenda on th ...

Hamlet:appearence Vs Reality
... evil.
Hamlet is spied on many times in the play. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are two of Hamlets childhood friends who when asked by the king, try to find out what is troubling the young prince. Both help to add to the theme by showing their appearance of being Hamlets friends. The pair goes to Hamlet pretending to be his friends when in truth they are only there because the king asked them to find the truth. Hamlet quickly reveals the truth and says, "Were you not sent for/ And there is a kind of confession in your looks, which your modesties have not craft in color.” (Shakespeare 2:2:278) From these words he is demanding an answer from his schoolmates as ...

Fate In Macbeth
... because of the current circumstances. His reaction to the witches is “stands not within the prospect of belief”( Act 1 scene 3, line 74), which tells the reader that the witches’ prophecies are a far reach from reality. Macbeth begins to think if he ever had the chance to become king that it would be a great honor that he would accept, “If chance will have me King, why, chance may crown me”.(Act 1 scene 3, line 143) The prophecy of Banquo’s son having power in the future effects the actions of Macbeth later in the play too. The thought that Banquo’s child might take over the thrown from Macbeth makes him feel the need to ge ...
