.... their helmets to protect themselves from the gas of the bomb. The helmets of this time were crude, but they did their job. The soldiers get their helmets on in time, except one. The soldier is "flound'ring like a man in fire...drowning" from exposure to the poisonous gases fired by the enemy. The author is expressing the cruelty of war through this poem in describing the slow and painful deaths that many soldiers went through. Death by poisonous gas is slow and painful.

In the deep, dark crevices of the forest, many of the central characters bring forth hidden thoughts and emotions. The forest track leads away from the settlement out into the wilderness where all signs of civilization vanish. This is precisely the escape route from the strict ordinances of law and religion. It is a refuge where all humankind, can open up and naturally be themselves, and here that Dimmesdale openly acknowledges Hester and his undying love for her. In the forest, Hester can also do the same for Dimmesdale, such as the time when she reve ....

.... for expressing such radical views. Many different objects in The Overcoat can be mirrored with the objects of true life. Everything from Akaky Akakyevitch's coat, to his administrator is used by Gogol to symbolize the situation of Russia during Gogol's time. In truth, the Russian government was against the free-thinking man, and so was against Gogol. Akaky himself is used as a symbol of the Russian people.

He keeps mostly to himself, having very little to do with the outside world. Hi ....
