... results of racism in this novel. Some believe that through difficulty and oppression, people are truly able to find themselves. If this is, indeed, true, in the case of the Invisible Man, then through his experiences he should have been able to discover himself.

Pearl, Hester's daughter, becomes so closely associated with the "A" on Hester's chest, becoming, as Hawthorne says, "the scarlet letter in another form; the scarlet letter endowed with life." Therefore, she be ...

... and many opportunities were offered by the Duke, Bassanio and Portia for Shylock to take the moral course of action, but he constantly refuses saying he should get what he deserves not by moral justice but by the law. Shylock does have the right to the forfeit of his bond and it is Antonio’s fault that he is in this situation because he signed the bond of his own free will.
