... this insane idea, the dog demonstrates his lean towards human characteristics. Another example how the man is beginning to move and act like an animal. It reads, “After some manipulation he managed to get the bunch between the heels of his mittened hands. In this fashion he carried it to his mouth...” At this point, the man’s hands are so cold that he can no longer grasp objects, such as matches. In order to get the matches he has to use the heels of his hands just like paws. This also shows his increasing relationship to the bestial characteristics. As the story, proceeds it is also obvious that the dog is picking up more characteristics that ...
... Conferring them on younger strengths while we Unburdened crawl to death..." (Act I, Sc i, Ln 38-41) This gives the reader the first indication of Lear's intent to abdicate his throne. He goes on further to offer pieces of his kingdom to his daughters as a form of reward to his test of love. "Great rivals in our youngest daughter's love, Long in our court have made their amorous sojourn, And here are to be answered.

That we our largest bounty may extend where nature doth with merit challenge." (Act I, Sc i, L ...

... and then the second speaker carries the poem to realization. It is ironic that the words inscribed on the pedestal "Look on my works. . . and despair!" reflect the evidence of the next line, "Nothing beside remains," that is, there is nothing left of the reign of the greatest king on earth.One immediate image is found in the second line, "trunkless legs.". One good comparison may be when the author equates the passions of the statue's frown, sneer, and wrinkled lip to the "lifeless things" remaining in the "desart."

... the Internet and competing businesses combine to create the story between the main characters. They have two relationships: their anonymous romantic Internet relationship and as rival business owners. As the outcome is reached, we understand that competition and technology are not important to the relationship, when the two meet. It is the emotions (such as love) that overcome any capitalist values that may have affected what was in each characters best interest. In this case, the attention is drawn away from the business aspect of the relationship as if it were the focus; capitalism would be portrayed in a negative light. The film is aimed at 20-35 yr old females, ...
... is worse than sitting down here in Hell and that we should attack Heaven for that reason. I can surely think of some things worse. Do you think that sitting here with each other, talking to each other, and being armed is the worst thing possible? I think not. What about when we laid in the burning lake? That surely was worse. What if the air that keeps those hot fires going blew seven times as hard and covered us in flames? Or if, from above, vengeance's arm should come down upon us and plague us? What if all of the holes in Hell were opened and fire shot out of every crevasse? War, I think, is a bad idea. How can we overthrow the being who knows everythi ...
... observe his face we see that it is "pale" and "wears a haunted look"(107). We wonder what this man has suffered to allow these emotions to so obviously appear on his sad face. When we here him speak we hear a voice that is "flat and hopeless"(108), "weary and agonized"(110). These are all indications of a troubled soul, but it is when we look into Joe's eyes that we begin to comprehend the depth of his despair. When the young man with the "tormented eyes"(110) bestows upon a child "a glance of infinite sadness"(107), that sadness, that hopeless feeling are instantly conveyed to us. The feelings and emotions that Joe Manetti experiences also provide and insight into ...
