He turns her life upside down as she begins to feel a passion for him that she has never felt before in her entire life, not even for her husband that she thought she loved. When Robert goes away, she misses him dearly and begins to change her life’s priorities, such as not staying home on Tuesdays as most women did and were expected to do so. She also changes her mindset away fr ....

.... and cooking pies for the family. This shows the stagnation of her everyday existence; an existence brought about by forty years of non- decision. Mother stays content with her shack. "She was a masterly keeper of her box of a house. Her one living room never seemed to have in it any of the dust which the friction of life with inanimate matter produces"(LACpg.284). This shows the lack of empowerment mother has at this time of the story. This state is partly due to the society—a time that was male dominated and discouraged the wife to speak out—and partly because mother just feel into a routine that included everything except her happiness. I felt that mother centered h ....

.... workshop. Merlin remarks on how Tremorinus, “allows me to learn all I can from him, gives me space in the workshops and material to experiment with.” (181). Merlin is able to learn a myriad of information while in Tremorinus' presence. This space that Tremorinus gives Merlin is the right tool to entitle Merlin to advance intellectually. Some mentors provide the space for knowledge to grow, but others are more effective because they set the foundation for the knowledge to develop. The personage who is the most efficacious and who bestows the true idea of knowledge on Merlin is Galapas. One day Merlin travels through the forest and stumbles on what looks like an inha ....

.... figures that it couldn’t hurt to marry her. He probably thought he would have a good connection since she was an orphan also. When she cheats on him, he tries to convince himself that she is a good person and would not do such a thing. It shows that he tries to see the good in all the people, even the bad ones. He also made a commitment to this woman for his life, and even when she cheats repeatedly, he sticks with her. He loves her for her good and not her flaws. When Elka had her children, Gimpel loves them like his own. He knows that they are not his, obviously, but he doesn’t let that child grow up without love. He probably knows what it’s like to not b ....

.... instead of ‘odious' in the sentence. Odors means "fragrant smells," while odious means "repulsive." A simple mistake by someone that is low in the society, but totally changes the meaning of the sentence. This humor is obvious to everybody watching that Bottom had made a mistake. This type of humor, while obvious, sometimes doesn't portray the meaning correctly. Inferred humor is sometimes more suited for this. Shakespeare used something like inferred humor to get across some other meanings that added to the play. One good example is the character of Puck. Puck is a hyperactive child that gets into a lot of mischief. His attitude toward his tasks is sort of ....
