.... looks from all. As time wore on, this caused a great deal of mental and physical anguish. Eventually, Hester questioned why she was to live if not for her child Pearl. Pearl was a gift sent from god to remind her of her wrong doing every moment. A symbolic way to look at it is that she was a walking, talking live sermon preaching out against sin to others. With that said, Pearl’s personality was also shown very well throughout the movie. Her exuberant disposition caused the townspeople to believe she was a “mysterious little elf”. One could tell at times she was the exact opposite of the Puritanical ways. Pearl’s taunting and malicious character someti ....

.... who kills only in battle in the most courageous situations. Nearing the end of the play, Macbeth is now a fearful man who attacks the defenseless and pays professional murderers to kill for him. At the beginning of the play, Macbeth was a kind and gentle person. The only time he killed is when he was in battle. Macbeth was loyal to the King (Duncan), and did as he wished. In battle, he kills a traitor to the Scotland who was a high ranking individual. For killing the traitor so bravely, Macbeth is awarded the title the Thane of Cawdor. The irony of this situation is that the title first did indeed belonged to ‘a most disloyal traitor’(pg. 3, line 53). As Macbeth ....

.... and my tribe. You leave me alone." (p.176) He did not heed my warning and continued to interrupt, so I had to protect my interests. Eventually a brawl arose. I defended myself and unintentionally cut Ralph as our spears locked together. ‘My spear slid down his spear and cut him on accident.' (p.177) In a situation like this, Ralph's spear could have easily slipped down and cut me instead. An individual is not controlled by another individual. As for influencing the boys to kill Simon and Piggy, the boys were uncontrollable. On the night that Simon died, we were having a feast while "a thing came crawling out the forest. It came darkly, uncertainly." (p.152) T ....

.... He declares in Marxist terms that Man is the problem: ”Only get rid of the Man, and the produce of our labour would be our own. Almost overnight we could be rich and free. What then must we do? Why, work night and day, body and soul, for the overthrow of the human race! That is my message to you, comrades. Rebellion!” The simple, but emotional appeal, gets trough to the uneducated and plain animals and, as in all revolutions, the planning begins in euphoria and idealism. No voice is raised to ask relevant question or call for a considered debate. The appearance of rats at the meeting raises a question: ”Are rats comrades?” A democratic vote r ....

.... an angry man than resented domesticity. Cathy Linton was the only female that married out of love, however her love for Linton forced her into domesticity. The social mores that suggested a person should marry out of duty rather than love ultimately led to the development of Bronte’s characters. Catherine Earnshaw is an excellent example of how negative it can be for one to marry out of duty, rather than out of love. Catherine had loved Heathcliff for many years, but the domestic norms forced her to marry Edgar Linton because he was an acceptable suitor. Although she loved Heathcliff, he still remained an unattainable husband because he did not live up to the domestic ....

.... a quick prayer that life might be long. It was only yesterday she had thought with a shudder that life might be long.” We can safely assume Brently Mallard was a charitable person who loved his wife, since Chopin writes of him having “kind, tender hands” and a “face that had never looked save with love upon her.” And yet Mrs. Mallard seems almost grateful for his death and the chance to be free from her husband and marriage. One can say this is another reason why she should not be considered a sympathetic figure. But in fact those are the few signs that indicate Mrs. Mallard is completely without compassion. However, there is much more evidence in the story ....
