... and jealousy. One may even consider the novel Bronte’s personal interpretation of the universe. However, when all is said and done, Heathcliff and Catherine are the story. Their powerful presence permeates throughout the novel, as well as their complex personalities.

... this is seen when hears a "rat" listening in on his dialogue with his mother in Act III, iv. Without the necessary thought, Hamlet draws his sword and kills Polonius. Another example to support this premise is in Act I, iv when Hamlet threatens his friends and follows the potentially dangerous ghost into the forest without any contemplation. The contention that Hamlet's tragic flaw is "external difficulties" can be disproven in Act III, iii when Hamlet has his knife drawn and is only a swift motion away from Claudius' death.

It creates a perfect scene for the murders. Another disturbance in nature comes from Macbeth's mouth, "Now o'er the one half-world, nature seems dead.” This statement might mean that nowhere he looks, the world seems dead. It might also give him conceited ideas that the murder he is about to commit will have repercussions spreading far. The doctor says in Act V, "A great pertu ...

The landscape adds a sense of loneliness as well. He looks at the land and there is nothing he ...
... who Lesley watches abuse his donkey across the Jordan River. All the Jews are not supposed to hate Arabs, but Lesley however comes in contact with Mustapha by the river and talks to him as a person not as an enemy. Mustapha made Lesley a more understanding person towards different kinds of people. The character I would most admire is Lesley for her ability to adapt to a new home, country and way of life.

Another turning point was when Lesley was allowed to join the p’oola because she was finally excepted as one of them. The most important ...
