.... that he does not believe in it, or that he sees a hidden motive behind the Christians' insistence that he should be merciful to Antonio. In the trial scene, mercy and revenge reveal the true nature of Venetian society as insecure, hypocritical and vengeful. The Christian values are seen as insecure by the way that they are practiced. Mercy is a Christian value associated with the New Testament, thus contrasting with Shylock's Old Testament religion and its image of a more stern and vengeful God. In the first half of the trial mercy and revenge are contrasted. The Duke appeals to Shylock to be merciful as if he shared their Christian values-- Shylock the world thinks, a ....

.... the Sangreal”. For instance, Sir Launcelot encounters a hermit dressed all in white. This hermit represents good salvation and holiness.

.... proves an annoyance”(Gorman Beauchamp 297-303). London’s writing attributes are so deep in description and narration, the reader sometimes perceives the story-taking place with them included in the action.

.... and his mother will start treating him as an adult. Dave feels as if he is surrounded by people who treat him as a child and he does not like this at all. “You ain’t nothing but a boy. You don’t need a gun.” This statement said by Joe, is the main reason why Dave truly wants a gun, to feel independent. Even though Dave wants to be acknowledged as an adult, his actions are very immature and childlike. The act of cornering his mother for a gun is one good example of immaturity. Dave feels as though he can not ask his dad for the gun for fear of rejection, a perfect example of immaturity. Daves defiance to his mother’s rules is another example of ....
