Crime In The Great Gatsby
... Wilson had any right to mention
Daisy's name.
"Daisy! Daisy! Daisy!" shouted Mrs. Wilson , " I'll say it whenever
I want to! Daisy! Dai---
Making a short deft movement Tom Buchanan broke her nose with
is open hand. (41)
Tom was a spoiled brat who is used to getting everything he wants. This could have been a factor when he told Nick:
That fellow had it coming to him. He threw dust into your
eyes just like he did Daisy's but he was a tough one. He ran
over Myrtle just like you'd a dog and never ever stopped his
car. (187)
Tom only wanted Daisy back because she wasn't interested in him any more. So in the end he threw Gatsby to the lions, ...

Lady Macbeth An Essay On Macbe
... the newly appointed Thane of Cawdor, carry out. I would think that a regular human being, male or female, would be more concerned about how the event in question would come into play. However, Lady Macbeth (and Macbeth) seems quite impatient and instead starts to think of ways that she could bring this event out herself. At about this time Macbeth is also thinking of killing Duncan in order to become the king. This is an example of the similarity between Macbeth and his wife. Its like they say, “great minds think alike”. It’s scary when the great minds belong to devious people.
When Macbeth arrives at his castle Lady Macbeth tells him to wear a friendly ...

Player Piano
... only “suitable” facts and create stories about authorized settings. Ordinary people were degraded into a role of passive consumers. They do not have to work anymore; the only really working jobs are either supervisors in industry or agriculture, or reconstruction and restoration groups, or soldiers. But supervisors do not have any work; reconstruction and restoration workers are too numerous to work really; and soldiers are bullied cruelly. The majority of population is bored since they have everything they need, all their homework is done by automatons and machines, and their only job is entertainment.
Dr Paul Proteus lives in the city of Ilium, N.Y. The city is ...

Hamlet 6
... for his deceased father and he should try to get over it. Another
example of Hamlet's emotions getting the better of him can be seen when he
is reminiscing his father's death. Hamlet says, "...How stand I then,/That
have father killed, a mother stained,...2". He is asking himself what kind
of a person he is if he can allow his father to be murdered and his mother
to be married so soon after his father's death to his uncle. This shows us
that he is pitying himself and is putting himself down. Yet another example
of his emotions running wild are seen in his first soliloquy:
...She married. O, most wicked speed, to post with such ...

Oedipus And Antigone
... where Haimon states; “I am your son father. You are my guide. You make things clear for me, and I obey you. No marriage means more to me than you continuing wisdom.” This statement is basically what Creon expects to hear out of his son. His reply of, ”Good. That is the way to behave: subordinate everything else, my son, to your father’s will.” Creon is used to having people do everything he wants them to do. The second example is the relationship between Antigone and her dead brother Polyneices. She is incredibly loyal to him and is willing to risk her life in order to preserve his honor as a warrior and bury her against Creons order. It is evident in ...

An Analysis Of Dylan Thomas Do
... the speaker’s thoughts. In the first, third, and fifth stanzas, the last lines match each other; in the second and fourth stanzas, the final lines match. The final stanza combines the last lines from the odd and even-numbered stanzas for an additional line. This portrays the ongoing war between life and death. The old man went back and forth between life and death as the stanzas’ last lines switched back and forth. In the end, the two last lines join together as the old man and his son accept that death is a part of life.
Next, the references to “good men,” “wild men,” and “grave men” display the three b ...

Foucault And Truffaut: Power And Social Control In French Society
... in
tracing the rise of the prison system in France and the rise of other coercive
institutions such as monasteries, the army, mental asylums, and other
technologies. In his work Foucault exposes how seemingly benign or even
reformist institutions such as the modern prison system (versus the stocks, and
scaffolds) are technologies that are typical of the modern, painless, friendly,
and impersonal coercive tools of the modern world. In fact the success of these
technologies stems from their ability to appear unobtrusive and humane. These
prisons Foucault goes on to explain like many institutions in post 1700th
century society isolate those that society deems abnorm ...

Juvenalian And Horatian Satire
... offensive
form of satire is Horatian satire, the style used by Addison and Steele in their
essays. A much more abrasive style is Juvenalian satire, as used by Jonathan
Swift in the aforementioned essay A Modest Proposal. To better understand satire
as a whole, and Horatian and Juvenalian satire in particular, these essays can
provide for further comprehension than a simple definition of the style alone.
Horatian satire is noted for its more pleasant and amusing nature.
Unlike Juvenalian satire, it serves to make us laugh at human folly as opposed
to holding our failures up for needling. In Steele's essay The Spectator's Club,
a pub gathering is used to poin ...

Damsels In Address
... a model to easily portray what is right, and what is inherently wrong. For instance, a passive heroine proves to bring eventual reward through pain and suffering, while a female who is assertive, either mentally or physically, is shunned. Suggestions integrated throughout the text of the three tales provide strong evidence as to the desired morals and values of the society in which the tales were written. Through the examination of tales, their inherent messages surface.
Children’s perceptions of fairytales can go a long way towards shaping social interactions among said children. Passivity is a major player in the personalities of Rapunzel, Cinderella, and Sl ...

Book Review On Tavriss The Mis
... that would benefit society as a whole, as well as, the relationships between men and women.
To help explain my recommendation and reasoning it is necessary to take a short look at what the book is saying. The book starts off by talking about the various reasons society feels women to be inferior to men. It seems to be built into our modern society to view men as the norm. Tavris explains early in the book about the experiments that were set up to study the male and female brain. The scientist’s were trying to prove that the male brain is superior to the female brain. The results were usually not what the scientist expected and were often never published ...
