... same to each of them, in accordance to his philosophy. However the Higgins we see at the parties and in good times with Pickering is well mannered. This apparent discrepancy between Higgins' actions and his word, may not exist, depending on the interpretation of this theory. There are two possible translations of Higgins' philosophy. It can be viewed as treating everyone the same all of the time or treating everyone equally at a particular time. It is obvious that Higgins does not treat everyone equally all of the time, as witnessed by his actions when he is in "one of his states" (as Mrs. Higgins' parlor maid calls it). The Higgins that we s ...
... Sydney Carton saves Darnay from death in this trial with his miraculous wits. Through this Darnay is given another chance at life ,and therefore was "recalled to life." The last and most significant instance of someone being "recalled to life" is found in the last chapters of this book. Sydney Carton has recently switched places with his look alike, Darnay, and is awaiting the guillotine. While Sydney awaits his death he thinks, "It is a far, far better thing that I do, then I have ever done, it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known." Through these words Sydney recognizes that by sacrificing his life for Darnay, a loved one of Lucie, ...
... money. Furthermore, the mother compares herself to her co-worker who earns several thousand pounds a year, while she only earns several hundred pounds. The mother feels really unfortunate for herself, her husband and her children. She always wants more, and more. However, she does not think about what she needs to learn that will allow her to earn that extra money. In addition, if she has more knowledge and experience in the business environment then maybe she could earn the same amount as her co-worker. For instance, she racks her brains, and tries this thing and the other, but she can not find any success. Buying expensive things is a good example of mater ...
... as well as society's decision making processes instead of the strength of men as women dominating machines. From the beginning of the story forward the narrator speaks of how her husband and other influential men in her life direct her so that she will recover quickly and I believe this to be the initial sign that the feminist perspective will be presented throughout. The narrator shows how although she has a formed opinion (and probably successful idea for her treatment), she is still swayed by her husband's direction with the following passage, "I sometimes fancy that in my condition if I had less opposition and more society and stimulus--but John says the very ...
... Orwell is also trying to convey a warning about propaganda, and a warning about absolute power through the ways in which Napoleon obtained and maintained power. Napoleon obtains power primarily by elimination. He believes that if he eliminates all the people standing in between him and ultimate domination, then he can govern the animals in any way that he sees fit. His first step of eliminating is to divide the animals into two classes. Napoleon, along with the other pigs, became of a privileged class, while the rest of the animals were inferior. This division of the animals is first seen when “the order went forth that all the windfalls were to be ...
... In the end of this investigation the rumor was proven false and no spies turned up. The word “McCarthyism is the unfairly accusing other of disloyalty and subversion.” (DiBacco et all, R47) All this person did was just scare many Americans just like in the Salem Witch trials. I guess that was McCarthy’s crucible, to make Americans think that a large amount of Communists worked for the State Department. Luckily we had a good congress and they didn’t let McCarthy’s ideas spread around. This relates to “The Crucible” by how one man tried to gain power by making false accusations. This is like when Parris saw the girls dancing in the woods he assumed t ...
... but would you say what George Milton did was murder? He was saving a life more than taking one. Lenny was already "dead" in a sense at the point that George pulled the trigger. There were a lot of men with shotguns and hunting dogs searching for Lenny, who had absolutely NO chance of escape. For the men who worked at the farm were almost on to where Lenny was hiding and there was no time for Lenny and George to run. If Lenny were to fall in the hands of the people, he would have been tortured and killed. He would have died with the worst feeling of all in his body, hatred, and the hatred of himself. What Lenny did was wrong, but he did not understand ...
... the results culminated in success. Unlike others Gatsby felt condemned not to be a fradulent dog. “The Truth was that Jay Gatsby, of west Egg, Long Island, sprang from his platonic conception of himself.”(pages 104, 15-16) Distorting his name, inventing a seventeen-year-old self-conception, he masked his counterfeit wealth from bootlegging with an image he wore with the help of Dan Cody. He was the man that gave Gatsby the opportunity. After Cody’s death Gatsby “was left with his singularly appropriate education; the vague contour of Jay Gatsby had filled out to the substantiality of a man”, and in this he based his rising. So begin his incessant pa ...
... to take it upon himself to create a human being. Frankenstein’s decision to assume a “god like” role is driven by good intentions and an impulsive desire to achieve recognition, fame, and fortune. The scientist tampers with fate without recognizing that with the creation of life comes responsibilities and unanticipated consequences. Instead of producing a wondrous man, Frankenstein assembles a monster who becomes a hideous terror. The monster destroys the very things that Frankenstein holds dear and tried to preserve. Correspondingly, the monster, when he is created, is an inexperienced, benign being. At first he is grateful to his creator fo ...
... persona to let us, the reader, dive into his thought pattern and find out some of the thoughts that he kept locked up in there. Salinger’s view of the world is lived out thought Holden – his persona. The novel is Holden’s steam of conscience as he is talking to a psychoanalyst “what would an psychoanalyst do…gets you to talk…for one thing he’d help you to recognise the patterns of your mind”. At the start of the novel it is addressed directly to us “if you really want to hear about it”. This gives us a sense of reality as though it is us that is the psychiatrist. We see the random thought patterns of Hold ...
