.... when he was offered advice on how to survive the harsh conditions of the Yukon, he just laughed at it: It certainly was cold, was his thought. That man from Sulphur Creek had spoken the truth when telling how cold it sometimes got in the country. And he had laughed at him at the time! That showed that one must not be too sure of things. This shows that he is driven by his ego, and like many other young men, he thinks that he is so much better than everybody else that he does not even listen to the advice of an old man who has proably been living in the Yukon longer than the Man has been alive. Fifty degrees bleow zero stood for a bite of frost that hurt and that must be ....

.... without thinking about the future or consequences. One of his biggest downfalls because of this shortsightedness is that he does not realize that his destiny is solely in the hands of the gods. After Oedipus is told as a young boy about the prophecy of his life, he can not "see" how he is destined to marry his mother and kill his father. Furthermore, because of his lack of insight he truly believes that he can move without the Oracle’s prophecy following him. No matter what Oedipus does, he has no control over what the gods have predetermined. The gods also punish the people of Thebes with hard times since it is these people who brought Oedipus into the land a ....

.... up to his actions, Garcin is following existentialist laws. However, he sometimes violates them. For example, he is so preoccupied with the idea that he is a coward that he demands the women to renounce this and declare his masculinity. He is so dependent upon this that he refuses to engage in sexual activity with Estelle until she affirms him. This is anti-existential because according to its principles, he should not have to rely on others for confidence. Inez is in Hell because she had seduced her cousin’s wife, then conspired to make his life miserable, until he finally stepped in front of a tram and was killed. Inez also brought a lot of guilt upon her l ....

.... establish a new homeland in Italy and Rome. This fate also represents the national destiny of Rome. Aeneas looks towards the future, towards Rome’s power over the known world. In the same way that the Promised Land was guaranteed to the Hebrews in the Old Testament, the Trojans’ Promised Land was guaranteed by fate. History is the guarantor. The theme of this work is that of how a nation came to be. Aeneas suffers a great deal. Emerging from this suffering, Aeneas will lead his people and conquer their new homeland. Aeneas has many obstacles that stand in his way. Juno hates the Trojans and wants to do everything in her power to prevent the Trojans from reaching Rome ....

.... coming out from the city to visit?" (P.446) And both, in different ways, attempt to deny their parents. At one point, Pique, having run away from home, ends up in a mental hospital in Toronto after "a bad trip", "Can't you see I despair you? Can't you see I want you to go away? You aren't my mother. I haven't got a mother." (P.111) Furthermore, Morag does not get married with Jules. When her husband is Brooke Skelton, she has a sexual relationship with Jules and gets pregnant. Later, Pique is aware that Jules is her father. Pique has an idea about why she is different from the others because a typical family should have a mother and a father, but s ....

.... in the dunnest smoke of hell, That my keen knife see not the wound it makes, Nor heaven peep through the blanket of the dark, To cry, ‘Hold, Hold!’ In this passage Lady Macbeth is trying to conjure up evil spirits. The entire passage is full of morbid thoughts and intentions, to help plot against the murder of Duncan, while and the same time blocking her ability to feel remorse. She needs to arm herself against all normal, natural human emotions, because she knows that the murder of king Duncan, who is ruling by divine right, is not only morally wrong, but is also a crime against God. The speech holds many images and implications that not only apply to Lady Macbeth, ....

.... the poem is a retrospective look at the way the PRO first introduces himself to the public. It depicts an idealistic, sentimental picture of the village inn: 'ancient, clean, and free from sin.' Betjeman highlights how easily the PRO pulls the public into his creation by emphasising the lines: 'So spake the brewers P.R.O., A man who really ought to know, For he is paid for doing so.' with a rhyming triplet instead of a rhyming couplet. Betjeman stresses the PRO's contradictory character and adds some sarcasm when he says that the PRO 'kindly' gave him a 'free' colour booklet. Betjeman is also showing that the PRO constantly puts on a façade by saying that he was kind. Th ....

.... the bestial King of Denmark. Claudius’ murderous actions are revealed by Old Hamlet’s ghost. The visitations explain the background to Denmark’s deception. “The serpent that did sting thy father’s life/Now wears his crown” (1,V,39-40). The first speech by Claudius is well organized and is clever enough to conceal his deadly sin which was committed through ambition and possibly lust: Ay, that incestuous, that adulterate beast. With witchcraft of his wit, with traitorous gifts- A witched wit, and gifts that have the power So to seduce! - won to his shameful lust The will of my most seeming-virtuous queen. (1,V,42-46 ....
