... Duncan's murder without consulting her husband first. Lady Macbeth, however, does not feel that her husband has the heart to kill the King for the crown: Glamis thou art, and Cawdor, and shalt be What thou art promise'd: yet do I fear thy nature, It is too full o' the milk of human kindness To catch the nearest way. Thou wouldst be great, Art not without ambition…(I.V.15-19) This shows how little Lady Macbeth cares about her husband's wishes. This is very ironic since normally it is the man who does not ask for approval. Even when Macbeth disagrees to her plan, Lady Macbeth starts taunting her husband and calls him a coward: "…Art thou afeare ...
... in his soul, are lowering his self-esteem, showing his resentment for life, civilization, and everything that surrounds him. Ishmael’s resentment towards life its self brings about his feelings of not being alive. Melville uses the month of November to indicate these feelings of death and suicide. The month of November is known for being lifeless, a period in which some just wait for death to set in. In this quote Melville is strongly emphasizing Ishmael’s thoughts about death and suicide. "I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet," although Ishmael doesn’t mean to, he finds hims ...
... of being shot. After several months from the governor's office appeared a news, that there was still one priest, Father Montez, who was moving from village to village working on the Church by administering the sacraments, listening confessions and saying masses. A young lieutenant of police, and ardent revolutionist and an anti-clerical, asked his chief to let him search for the priest who, as the authorities understood it, was guilty of treason. Two photographs were pasted up together in police station. One was the picture of an American bank robber who killed several police officers in Texas; the other was that of the priest.

... first. I don't believe this terrible incident has any relation to my experiences because I have never experienced being on a cruise ship and then suddenly realized that my worry free vacation is going to turn out to be a horrifying nightmare. Walter Lord writes, "I cannot imagine any condition which would cause a ship to founder. I cannot conceive of any vital disaster happening to this vessel. Modern ship building has gone beyond that." (Pg.21) I chose this excerpt said by Captain Smith because it proves how people can be so ignorant when it comes to dealing with mother nature. The "Unsinkable" Titanic met its match when trying to go through a massive iceberg ...
... the dogs after Snowball, in other words, killing him. Napoleon would make the other animals work long hours and give them little portions of food, while he and Squealer would feast on large meals. Napoleon and Squealer took advantage of their role as governor and ate all the food, drank beer, and lived in the owner’s house. However, to the farm animals, they considered these to be the 7 commandments: 1. Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy. 2. Whatever goes upon four legs and has wings is a friend. 3. No animal shall wear clothes. 4. No animal shall sleep in a bed. 5. No animal shall drink alcohol. 6. No animal shall kill another animal. 7 ...
... golden hair, which confuses Stephen with the phrases, "Tower of Ivory" and "House of Gold" which is part of the Roman Catholic Litany of Our Lady. Later when Stephen is at school, he again thinks about Eileen. Stephen gets his first sensual experience from Eileen when she puts her hand into his pocket and touches his hand. Stephen gets quite confused with the terms of the Litany of Our Lady so he starts to associate the "Tower of Ivory" and "House of Gold" to Eileen. The way James Joyce describes the scene, "She had put her hand into his pocket where his hand was and he had felt how cool and thin and soft her hand was."(43) gives the reader the idea that Stephen en ...
... boy who had grown up as an outcast. Due to his academic childhood, he was more mature than the others and retained his civilized behaviour. But his experiences on the island gave him a more realistic understanding of the cruelty possessed by some people. The ordeals of the three boys on the island made them more aware of the evil inside themselves and in some cases, made the false politeness that had clothed them dissipate. However, the changes experienced by one boy differed from those endured by another. This is attributable to the physical and mental dissimilarities between them. Jack was first described with an ugly sense of cruelty that made him natura ...

... towards the defendant, viewing him as a liar and a piece of trash, with no supporting evidence. This prejudice most surely influences his verdict of ‘guilty’ without view of any evidence. If that is not enough, starting on page 62 begins a speech lasting 2 pages in which he spews out his views of people like the defendant: “Human life doesn’t mean as much to them as it does to us…And they are-wild animals.” is an impatient and uncaring/unconcerned person. It is made clear by viewing his lines that does not take his part on the jury seriously and only wants to reach a consensus as quickly as possible. His reason is quickl ...
