.... he suppressed his guilt and refused to accept the shadow that lurked within him. The five people that killed Boy Staunton (as stated) were: Mary- “the woman he did not know”, Leola- “the woman he knew”, Dunstan- “the keeper of his conscience and the stone”, Paul- whom granted his inner most wish, and lastly, Boy Staunton himself. It can be observed that childhood experiences play a very important role in the stableness of ones soul. One mishap in childhood can create a devastating blow to ones true happiness in later life. This was exactly the case in Boy Staunton's life. Once, when he was little, he got in an argument with Dunny which led to snowballs being ....

.... void of friendship. Yet, none of the characters ever overcomes their bouts with loneliness because they never find true comfort in nature.

His early life was filled with love and nurturing from his parents, his beautiful and adored companion Elizabeth, and his best friend Henry Clerval. However, after he leaves his home to continue his education at Ingolstadt, he remarks, “I, who had ever been surrounded by amiable companions, continually engaged in endeavoring to bestow mutual pleasure, I was now alone” (Shelley, 25). Frankenstein no l ....

.... animals’ fight for equality. The physical setting of a farm is ideal for this story. It is a good place for Old Majors vision and has necessary isolation from the world for the development of this society.

.... not pay.”(p. 7) These are clearly not the signs of a loving relationship; indeed, Charles and Madame Dubuc treat marriage as a chore or formality, and not a pleasure.

She is given to Charles by her father in exchange for a dowry. So, before she is even married, she is already treated like chattel by the men in her lif ....

Hephaestus, their son, restores harmony between them. Book II: Zeus sends a dream to Agamemnon to persuade him to lead his army into battle to make him aware of his need of Achilles and his troops.

This man was thinking of only himself because he felt that he might be questioned and accused of things. His actions may not have been violent but they were still evil.
