... appears to be an honest hardworking man, who sells bibles, want to have dinner with Hulga. Hulga agrees to meet Manly because she wants to use him for a test subject in an experiment of seduction, hoping to gain a new experience and also change, what she thinks, his limited way of thinking. She wants to orchestrate this specific plan because she thinks it will be the most successful one at seducing him, which is her primary goal. Hulga tells Manly "take his remorse in hand and change it into a deeper understanding of life," meaning that when people take off their superficial blindfolds that cover up the harsh cruelty of reality and they see life for what it truly is, they don’t ...
... is and imaging a food being brought to her. “But when she went to take it there was just her own hand in the air.”(117) Imagining Phoenix condition, she can only wish and stay strong enough to keep walking. She didn’t stop there. Phoenix knew she needed to find a safe place, so she would not face harm. Even though she was hungry. Phoenix has made it “Through the maze now.”(117) It will be easier for Phoenix to continue walking “for there was no path.”(117) She felt a bit of relief to know that she didn’t have to deal with some of the animals that would have been there back in the summer. However, Phoenix did experience some fatalities as she continued to walk. She crossed a scarecrow a ...
... Act 1 Sc. 3 ll. 381), he still does despise him. Iago has to be examined closer to discover his motives: of course, he is jealous of Cassio’s appointment as Othello’s lieutenant and this is an ultimate irony in itself as he later mocks Othello for his own jealousy, having succumbed to the ‘green-eyed monster’. There is also of course Iago’s blatant racial slurs and hatred towards Othello, and his paranoia regarding the supposed infidelity of his wife, ‘And it is thought abroad that ‘twixt my sheets he’s done my office’ (Oth Act 1 Sc. 3 ll. 369-370). However, the latter excuse may seem less reasonable, considering that Iago also utters later that he believes that Cassio has also slept wi ...
... prisoners grow accustomed to being told what to do, then doing it. When enough time passes, prison life is all the life that they know. Acceptance of their controlled life becomes dependence as they are no longer able to function on their own, but rely on being told what to do. In the final stages, the prisoners loose their individual wills. Red understood the dynamics of prison all too well and labeled the process as being institutionalized. "These walls are funny. At first you hate them, then you get used to them. Enough time passes, it gets so that you get to depend on them." Brooks and Red are both institutionalized men. They lived out most of their lives i ...
... treachery also confronted Orgon, but Orgon does not believe him. Orgon screams, “ So! You insult him, and defy your father! A stick! A stick! Out of my house this minute! Be off with you, and never dare set foot in it again. I disinherit you; an empty purse is all you’ll get from me-except my curse!”(Act 3, scene 6) Also, when Orgon was confronted by his own wife, he still could not believe that Tartuffe was a bad man. Orgon states, “I know the facts, and I shall not be shaken.” Elmire says, “ I marvel at your power to be mistaken. Would it, I wonder, carry weight with you if I could show you that our tale was true?” Orgon says, “Nons ...
... Melville's "Bartleby, the Scrivener" and John Updike's "A & P," the conflict of the individual thoughts and feelings versus the desire of society's institutions for conformity occurs with the characters who were different. Initially, a scrivener is someone who copies things for a living. The title "Bartleby, the Scrivener" describes Bartleby the complete opposite of what he actually is. He is asked to "join this interesting group." The narrator describes Bartleby as enclosing himself behind the walls of his office. These walls represent the walls Bartleby builds - not physical wall, but communication barriers. The walls between him and society provide security for Bartleby. His ...
... in God is based on the fact that he believes God to be just, but is God really just? If he is then why does J.B. suffer so? Maybe it is just J.B.’s notion of justice that is incorrect. Bildad comments on the notion of justice, “History is justice! – Time inexorably turned to truth!… One man’s suffering won’t count, no matter what his suffering; but all will. At the end there will be justice! – Justice for All! Justice for everyone!” (MacLeish, p121). This can be taken to mean that there is no justice for individuals only for mankind as a whole. So if this is the case, how does J.B. manage to keep his faith when he finds out that there was ...

... dead to go to the underworld. He invented the lyre, the pipes, the musical scale, astronomy, weights and measures, boxing, gymnastics, and the care of olive trees. Maia gave birth to in a cave in Mount Cyllene in Arcadia. Some say that Acacus, son of the Arcadian king, raised was born at dawn, in the afternoon he played on the lyre, and in the evening he went to Pieria, a region in Mount Olympus in northern Thessaly, and stole the cattle of Apollo, while Apollo was distracted because of his love for Hymenaeus. Battus, who promised not to tell, witnessed the stealing of the cattle. But not being able to keep his promise, he was turned by into a stone. Also there were others who had th ...
... than a simple definition of the style alone. Horatian satire is noted for its more pleasant and amusing nature. Unlike Juvenalian satire, it serves to make us laugh at human folly as opposed to holding our failures up for needling. In Steele's essay The Spectator's Club, a pub gathering is used to point out the quirks of the fictitious Sir Robert de Coverly and his friends. Roger de Coverly is an absolute character. His failure in an amorous pursuit have left him in the past, which is shown through his manner of dress, along with his somewhat dubious honor of justice of the quorum. This position entails such trying duties as explaining Acts to the commoners. Also presen ...
