.... to be vengeful towards Abigail sprouts from the affair Abigail and Elizabeth’s husband, John Proctor. When the topic of Abigail is comes up, Elizabeth remarks that she should be, “… ripped from the earth” (Miller 76).

.... was closely shrouded in black velvet tapestries that hung all over the ceiling and down the walls, falling in heavy folds upon a carpet of the same material and hue." This dark manner in which the castle was decorated conforms to the image of the Prince being a ruthless, uncaring ruler. Prince Prospero’s actions proved to be cowardly, as he and his selection of knights, dames, and nobles, retreated into his castle. He thought that in doing this, he would in some way, escape the wrath of the Red Death. He could care less about his people, locking them out of his home and leaving them uncared-for. Hour by hour, minute by minute, second by second, the life of the ebony clock ....

.... 1 proves to be a vital element to understanding the play. One important task it serves is to determine the mood of the play. From the beginning of the scene, the reader is aware of the atmosphere of mistrust and uncertainty lingering in the air.

This evokes a mood of foreboding and myster ....

.... nature of Hamlet's madness. Being the king's Lord Chamberlain, it is his duty to obey the king and queen's wishes and it is this loyalty that eventually proves to be fatal for him. An example of how Polonius' innocent involvement with the royalty results in his death can be found at the beginning of Act III, scene iv, when Hamlet stabs him while he is hiding behind the arras in Gertrude's room. This shows how Polonius, a man unaware of the true nature of the situation he is in, is killed by a member of the royalty during the execution of one of their schemes. This makes Polonius' death a tragedy. The next member of Polonius' family to die is his daughter Ophelia. Op ....

.... African communities dominated by Islamic doctrines, like that of Senegal. The author recognized the significant gender-biases that existed it the culture and expressed them through the development of her characters. But rather than taking the standard view and assimilating her characters within the culture from which they were raised, Ba attempts to challenge the notion of female subjugation and dis-empowerment by directing and solidifying the characteristics of the her two main character.

.... the same. The only difference between any two generations is technology. All generations are plagued by the same problems and all hope that their children won’t face the same hardships. That is a case, which will never happen. Quote 2: “’Except the bad thing is, the real humdinger, see, is that I tried for CO status, being a Christian and all. And weird things happened. And…well…I didn’t get it.” Page 358 The dramatic realization of the fact that the war will affect a member of the Chance family is apparent in this quote.

Part of their cultural/behavioral environment was the belief system they had attained throughout their lives. This included family Christmas dinners that they had and Michaela's attendance and belief in the church. There were many things in their constructed/technological environment. They had a house, clothing, hospitals that Lorenzo went to, the library where they did research, and many more organic materials from the natural environment constructed for their use. There are two types of boundaries presen ....
