... to me, delivered suddenly from the womb of his purposeless splendor" (p.79). Nick realizes Gatsby's estate, parties, shirts and other seemingly "purposeless" possessions are not purposeless.

... and his other documentation. For the most part it is historically accurate, as it tells the life of a man who works in a realistic meat packing setting.

... Macbeth’s weaknesses: her fear of dark. In the play, phrases of fear escape from lips even in her sleep. She believes darkness to be the place of torment. Within the whole play, the sun seems to shine only twice. The first is in the passage when Duncan sees the swallows flirting round the castle of death. The second time, at the end, when the avenging army gathers to rid the earth of its shame. Therefore, the reader can conclude that Shakespeare uses darkness to establish the evil parts of the play. On the other hand, daylight is employed to define victory or goodness in the play. In Macbeth, Shakespeare uses the design of the witches, the guilt in Macbeth ...

These are mostly considered episodes of love, but there are intermittent portrayals of the jealousy and feelings of malice to which a person subdues because of love.

Such a scene is an important rendering of how there is a thin line between love and hate; the men have a love for each other to inspire defense, and a hate fueled by the murder of their mate. This demonstrates how much of an impact love has in Shakespeare's story, not onl ...
... writer” (Watt). This is so, because Bradbury takes a more elegant path to laying out his dystopia. People in his story are so into the now, and pleasure for the moment, that they forget the morals and ethics they came from, because they are clouded by smoke. Take for instance the wall-sized televisions. This became the populace’s way of interacting with others with out physically interacting with them. People on TV were your “family”, who would keep you company and be your “friend”. Still, a place where books were burned and houses were supposedly “fireproof”, you have to admit this world is out of whack. If ...

... with the government while being employed in the White House. It also deals in detail with Gold’s family problems and Gold’s struggle to write a book on the contemporary Jewish society.

Heller does this by criticizing it. Karl agrees with this statement by offering an example of the satire of both the military and civilian institutions in Catch-22: The influence of mail clerk Wintergreen, the ...
