... upper level, would begin to ponder and question her husband on various topics possibly beyond her character’s intelligence level as inferred by her husband’s response. It is ironic that she is also placed at this level as she is "raving" during her interrogation on her involvement with witchcraft. Therefore, following the same train of thought, the use of this arrangement suggests that her examiners, namely the Inquisitor, are merely acting out of ignorance. Most tangible however, is the complete black appearance of the set that helps considerably to establish the notion that the play is a representation of place in a period of discord. The darkness of ...

... my own brain’. The poet has a conversational tone such as asking questions. We are hearing only part of the conversation. The poem is set on a cold chilly night. The poet is more cynical and formal when she is talking about the snowman. The phrase ‘an idle mind is a devil’s workshop’ is very applicable here since the thief has nothing to do, so to keep himself busy he breaks into people’s homes. He has a rather ruthless philosophy of life that ‘better of dead than giving in, not taking what you want’. He steals not for money but for the pleasure. He tries to be part of families by collecting photographs of them, this is ev ...
... however, Tom finds out about Gatsby and Daisy’s affair. One day, while they were all in New York City, he confronts Gatsby and Daisy and a heated argument ensues. That fateful night, returning to their homes on Long Island, Daisy, while driving Gatsby’s car, accidentally runs over Tom’s mistress, Myrtle Wilson. Her deranged husband George Wilson discovers that it was Gatsby’s car that hit his wife; as a result, he seeks out Gatsby and kills him. Consequently, The Great Gatsby represents mankind’s feebleness by illustrating its blind struggle to find acceptance within society, its materialism, and its naturally sinful disposition thr ...
... with some kind of evil as they exploit the great kindness of the blacks. I guess you could say that the white men were filled with a black hatred inside. Another example is found when Marlow enters the Belgian company’s office. Sitting in the office are two women dressed almost completely in black. Marlow is no beginning to understand the seriousness of the journey he is going to make. Even his predecessor dies because of a quarrel over two black hens. The usage of black is almost too much to handle. Another example that I also remembered from the movie was how Kurtz’s pictures were always placed within a dark ebony back round. Another ironic example ...
... can only be conveyed properly if those on the receiving end of the idea are able to experience the feelings that a character is experiencing in the work. For example, in order for a reader to feel how and understand why Vladimir and Estragon feel as though they do while they wait, it is essential for that reader to either understand or experience the same feelings that Vladimir and Estragon are experiencing. Vladimir and Estragon are waiting; waiting for Godot, to be exact; and Beckett wants the reader to feel as if he or she were waiting also. Along with the feeling of waiting that a reader may experience, he or she might also understand how Vladimir and E ...
... acting antagonistic towards him. He makes Lancelet appear to be a sluggard who sleeps all day and does little work. He always seems to criticize the poor boy behind his back and complain about his laziness. Even after Shylock sees that Lancelet is gone, he continues to reproach his work as a servant. It seems as though Shylock is trying to elevate his own self-esteem, by acting contentious towards his servant. The way in which Shylock treats his own daughter is beyond comprehension. He virtually locks her in the house when he goes to the masque one night. Shylock redundantly enforces the importance that she lock the house up after he leaves. Lock up my doors, ...
... or how he is tormented by visions of the crime. He doesn't feel the least bit guilty about having committed the crime, only his pride's hurt. He doesn't mention the idea of the pain that might arise from recurrent visions of the crime. Raskolnikov never again recalls the massive amounts of blood everywhere, the look on Lizaveta's face when he brings down the axe on her head. These things clearly show that the crime isn't what might cause him suffering, or pain, it is something else. After Raskolnikov is sent off to Siberia, he doesn't feel remorseful. His feelings haven't changed about his crime, he feels bad at not being able ...
... subtle rhythmic variety, for example using assonance. Or making words look like they rhyme. Which is shown quite regularly through this poem. Free verse also complements the style of the poet 'connecting' with the reader in the way that it seems like the poet is writing directly to the reader. Making it a more 'in touch' and personal poem to subjects that we can relate to. In this case. Having a respect for your Father or your heritage. The poems opening line, in a simple, complete one line statement, conveys the impression of the poet talking to us directly and also sets a 'snapshot' of time for the reader: "Between my finger and my thumb/The squat pen rests; ...
... left- their life. An example of this is Mistress Hibbons who allowed the laws to convince her that she was a servant to "the Prince Satan" himself. Another example of these unsympathetic omnipresent laws is when a spouse is lost and can not be found. When this occurs the widow most likely wants to get on with her life, but the widow can not have any type of relationship with anyone until seven years after the incident. This would be a constant reminder of the loss of a loved one to the point where they would go insane. There are some who could not bear this law and went against it. A good example of this is the relationship between Hester Prynne a ...
