.... greatly though the course of the novel. He stopped drinking when he visited, and even pledged his life to her, and everyone she loved. Carton changed even more dramatically when death on the guillotine was approaching. He waxed philosophical about the future, and even quoted a few scriptures. This is most certainly not the man first seen at the Old Bailey with the sideways wig. Another interesting change took place in the character of Madame Defarge. She is first portrayed as a woman of principle who is helping her husband with the revolution. However, Madame Defarge makes a startling metamorphosis from supporting character to antagonist when she is revealed to be the ....

.... also, pointing out that there is a lack of certain characteristics among the characters. Achebe then compares the descriptions of the Intended and the native woman. Explaining that the savage "fulfills a structural requirement of the story: a savage counterpart to the refined European woman," and also that the biggest "difference is the one implied in the author's bestowal of human expression to the one and the withholding of it from the other."(Achebe, p.255) This lack of human expression and human characteristics is what Achebe says contributes to the overflowing amount of racism within Conrad's novella. Human expression, is one of few things that make us different fro ....

.... childhood was basically isolated and gloomy, and Catherine herself, is a truly private individual. It is this sense of privacy, in my opinion, that supersedes any other factor throughout the story. To understand this sense of inwardness, one must explore the novel itself. The story begins in the early 1800's (c. 1801) and one Mr. Lockwood removed from the narrative. The novel begins to take shape, only after some degree of reading, when we realize what is happening at in conjunction with Thrushcroff Grange. Soon afterwards, Nelly Dean makes her appearance, while she herself is somewhat unpreceptible. Overall, content and structure is rather fractured, although a so-called ....

.... even went so far as to not even tell his former wives his real name! James who portrays a messed up character finally realizes, before he dies, that he acted wrong and he understands his faults. Does he die as an obtainer of a golden age or does he die as a punishment for his corrupt past? James Wait probably obtained his “Golden Age” through a rebirth he gained by slowly conforming in a three step process: Sin, Realization of Sin, and Recovery from Sin. James Wait acted cruelly to his wives. He just wanted money and someone to converse with. Leon Trout tells us in the beginning of the book about James' marriages: “Wait had so far courted and married seventeen suc ....

.... for India, Juliet had a hard time deciding whether to stay with her professor husband, David, or move to Montreal to stay with her former lover Jeremy. Uncertain as usual, all Juliet wants is to " maintain the balancing act." She could never summon up the courage to face new circumstances. Her mind is never firm enough to challenge the present state. So she makes her choice in the order of morality. She stays with her husband and leaves for India with him. It is more likely that the fate designated Juliet's future. She is married to Dave on her own accord. Therefore, she does what a good wife is supposed to do. 1.

.... much to socialize. Amanda sometimes goes to D.A.R. (Daughters of the Revolution) meetings, but Laura does not like to socialize at all. She has a slight limp and is extremely shy with people. When she does leave the apartment, she falls. She is unable to function in the outside world. As previously stated, symbols play an important role in The Glass Menagerie. Symbols are substitutions that are used to express a particular theme, idea, or character. One symbol that is used over and over is the fire escape. This has different meanings to the characters. For Tom, it is a place where he can escape to. It is where he goes to escape from his mother's nagging. ....

.... to make an attempt to know a person for who they are, because they are too quick to judge one on their external appearance and obvious differences. In the essay “Notes of a Native Son”, Baldwin shows how his father represents an extremely stubborn man, set in his ways, unwilling to change. “He could be chilling in the pulpit and indescribably cruel in his personal life and he was certainly the most bitter man I have ever met”(56). It’s obvious to me how Baldwin’s father was definitely a mean man, full of hatred and animosity towards everyone, especially whites. His blackness had been the cause of much humiliation in his life, which fixed cynical boundaries. ....

.... the San Bernardino Valleys self-indulgent culture devaluates societys morals and ethics such as religion, law, love, and life. In the San Bernardino Valley, tele-evangelism, Christian gospel spread through television, is prominent.  It is "the California where it is easy to Dial-A-Devotion, but hard to buy a book." (p.4)  It is a society where anyone with money can buy a devotion to God with the dialing of a number.  The usage of religion as a money-making business defiles the sanctity of societys most sacred and cherished belief.  However, money is made so morals and ethics are ignored.  Another example of this immorality is Edward Foley, Lucilles Millers ....
