... Adela. Throughout the books, these two characters share many characteristics and experiences. The first experience they shared while in India is that both women are social with the native Indians. This was unacceptable to all Anglo-Indians. Olivia frequently visited the Nawab at his palace. She also entertained him and his companion, Harry at her home. For the majority of the book, Olivia’s husband, Douglas is unaware of how frequently she visited the Nawab. If Douglas had been fully aware of Olivia’s actions, he would have been enraged. Proper Englishwomen were not to associate with natives while unchaperoned. Adela, Forster’s character ...

... also contains three odes considered among the finest in the English language: "Ode on a Grecian Urn,""Ode on Melancholy," and "Ode to a Nightingale." In late 1820, under his doctor's orders to seek a warm climate, Keats went to Rome, where he died. Some of his best-known poems were published after his death, including "Eve of St. Mark" (1848). Keats's letters, praised by many critics as among the finest written in English, were published in 1931. "To Autumn," by John Keats, soothes the heart and eases the mind with its tranquility. Written in iambic pentameter, the rhyme scheme is composed of ababaccac. This poem contains three stanzas of comparison. Throug ...

... Kreon’s main and foremost hamartia was his hybris, or his extreme pride. Kreon was a new king, and he would never let anyone prove him wrong or let anyone change his mind once it was made. One main event that showed Kreon’s hamartia and also caused the catastrophe was when he asked his son Haimon, who was engaged to marry Antigone, if he still loves his father. Haimon says he respects Kreon’s ruling, but he feels, in this case, that Kreon was wrong. Haimon asks his father to take his advice and not have Antigone executed, but, because of Kreon’s hybris, Kreon gets furious and makes the situation worse then it already was. He was way too proud to take advice f ...

... whom he marries shortly after the first World War , and fathers two children. He, like many others, is filled with both awe and terror toward the land he is expected to settle, as is proven when he states that When [he] first set eyes on [the] logged-off stretch of second-growth timber [he was] expected to turn into [a farm], [he was] shaken with the extravagant beauty of the green Pacific world. Snow-peaked mountains, thick underbrush high as [his] waist, and salt water so close [he] could smell it. But... [he was] scared off right away by the unexpected. Forest fires, mountain lions, and rain. (Book 1 Chapter 2 P.17) The harshness of his surroundings also has adve ...

... he took himself one thousand of his royal comrades and enough servants for all to a secluded abbey. He was sure the seclusion from the Red Death would save his life. He was wrong! Poe uses his supporting character Prince Prospero, to show the wealth of royalty in this story. This character's speaks of wealth and happiness. Prospero's wealth was so vast that he was easily able to support one thousand of his royal comrades, hundreds of servants, and a seemingly endless number of parties. However, it is very ironic that the prince of prosperity was the first to die. He was murdered by the main character of the story "The Red Death" itself. I believe this was to show ...

... her virginity for the future. The man wants to experience the pleasure now, while the woman would rather save herself until they are married. Marvell’s message here seems to be that we shouldn’t be worrying so much about exactly when and where to do things, but just to take things as they come and enjoy them. This theme relates to all aspects of life, not just sex. The rhyme scheme follows a standard AA, BB, CC, etc., couplet pattern. A few of the lines are irregular however. Lines 23 and 24 rhyme "lie" with "eternity," and lines 27 and 28 rhyme "try" with "virginity." It is interesting to not that lie rhymes wit ...

... the story, it can be suggested that Emily’s over-protective father stands to represent Emily’s feminist struggle, the ongoing battle for women to have an equal place in society. Emily should be able to do as she pleases, but her dependence her father does not allow her to have that freedom. Her father’s over-protection is evident in this passage, “We remembered all the young men her father had driven away, and we knew that with nothing left, she would have to cling to that which had robbed her, as people will” (279). Her father robs her from many of ’s necessities. She misses out on having friends, being a normal “woman,” and her ability to be happy. Emily is not ...

... murder. All of the facts, details, and motives would need to be known in order to give a fair conviction. I feel Mrs. Wright is guilty of committing this crime, but there was also a crime for the way that she had been treated. When the neighbor came over, Minnie Wright had shown no remorse in finding out that her husband was dead. She did not cry or get upset. Being a woman myself, I know that it is necessary to have friends and others around me other than my husband. Mrs. Wright did not have any connection to the outside world. She lived on an almost desert road in a house that was not very suitable and did the best she could in making it her home. Minnie W ...

... Sam. So in this case, war caused her to drink and it killed half of her family, both of which ruined the Meeker family. One of war’s worst by-products is ruining families. Even though war affects families the most, there are still other bad effects on children and on towns. The second bad by-product of war is the effect on children. First, war sometimes kills children’s parents or older siblings, throwing their responsibility on to the younger children’s shoulders. The children will never have a normal life of playing with others because they are too busy taking care of things. In the novel, MBSID, Tim had to grow up fast. The reason for this is that his father go ...

... 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 basic stages of life: birth, life, and death. In stanza three, the stanza pertaining to ...
