... a great Father of the Church…It is in the books." (P.305) The priest visits Kino's home. He praises and honors him selfishly. These negative characteristics were not only seen in the priest, but were equally shown in the doctor. The doctor represents the greed in society. He too, is a heartless and self-seeking man. He is a villain without any redeeming qualities or traits. As proof, the Doctor says, " Have I nothing to do than cure insect bites for little Indians?…I alone in the world am supposed to work for nothing-and I am tired of it. See if he has any money!" (P.294) "He is a client of mine…The doctor looked past his aged patient ...

... beginnings of their lives. This revelation uncovers another weakness in man, supporting Golding's belief that beneath the coat of civility lies the hidden human passion, savagery and an almost animal-like cruelty. Throughout the novel, there is a constant struggle for power between two groups and the struggle illustrates man's fear of losing control. The fear of the unknown is natural, the fear of losing power is inherited - Golding uses these vices to prove the point that any type of uncontrolled fear contributes to men's stability and will ultimately lead to his demise spiritually and perhaps even physically. Lord of the flies used changes experienced by boys ...

... to be keeping something from him. Gregor’s separation from his family also had to do with his work. Since he had to travel a lot of the time, he just wasn’t around that often to spend time with his parents and sister. Even after Gregor’s metamorphosis, many of his attributes remained similar. He still cared most about his work; that was pretty much all he thought about even when he first turned into a bug. “The next train went at seven o’clock; to catch that he would need to hurry like mad and his samples weren’t even packed up, and he himself wasn’t feeling particularly fresh and active”(786). He had made up ...

... to the one posed by Belsey in the prologue of the first act. “Can this cock-pit hold the vasty fields of France? Or may we cram within this wooden O the very casques that did affright the air at Agincourt?” (11-14) Branagh chooses to display his single-man chorus walking through a torn-down theater while speaking these words. I do not think he does this to imply the theater is dead, or to say that only film can portray truth in today’s image-based society. Instead, the speech ironically implies the realistic nature of film when the Chorus tells the viewer to “Think, when we talk of horses, that you see them, printing their proud hoofs i’th’ receiving earth…” (2 ...

... congruities in theme, expressing the importance of salvation and the terror of hell. Jonathan Edwards delivers his sermon to awaken the audience and to increase the awareness of hell and how to avoid damnation. Also in "A Message from Hell," Ed Andrews' message warns the audience of the horror of hell and persuades them to acquire salvation. Both authors deliver their sermons to foment the emotions of the audience to take advantage of the situation and express the urgency of repentance. Edwards and Andrews both preach of the darkness and terror in hell and want to spread the word of Jesus Christ to ensure that those unsaved can escape this trepidation of hell. T ...
