... nature of the murders and of the play in general, and it also shows Macbeth’s own character. At first blood is associated with honor and with Macbeth’s bravery in battle. “…with his brandished steel that smoked with bloody execution…” (I.ii.18-19).

... live but something that they are a part of, that will change their lives forever. One way Golding creates representations of the adult "real world" is through his characters; Piggy, Ralph, Simon, and Jack. Piggy is the representative of technology, intellect, and education. He is also the most mature and adult like member of the group. This, along with his poor eyesight, size, accent, and asthma, are why he is constantly ostracized by the others. His glasses represent technology, civilization, reality and reason. When they are destroyed it is a sign that the boys are no longer using reason in their actions and civilization is becoming more and more a thing o ...

Holden, according to many reviews in the Chicago Tribune, the New Yorker, and the New York Times, accurately captures the informal speech of an average intelligent, educated, northeastern American adolescent (Costello, 1990). Such speech includes both simple description and cursing. For example, Holden says, "They're nice and all", as well as "I'm not going to te ...
