.... will not tell anyone where the body is located. Instead he assumes his ironic matter which others take it as madness. "Not where he eats, but where he is eaten. If your messenger find him not there, seek him I' th' other place yourself. But, indeed, if you find him not within this month, you shall nose him as you go up the stairs into the lobby." Hamlet's behavior throughout the play, especially towards Ophelia is inconsistent. He jumps into Ophelia's grave, and fights with Laertes in her grave. He professes, "I loved Ophelia, Forty thousand brothers could not, with all their quantity of love" during the fight with Laertes in Ophelia's grave, but he tells her that he ne ....

.... senses, and in fact inflicts a response of longing for the other. It is automatic to groan, or start laughing when too much gushy emotion is thrown at you through film or literature. This response stems from overexposure to such highs and our cynical view that nothing is ever perfect, and never will be. Such idealisms are ridiculed - for in our society such an optimistic view is going to be met with sarcasm, because the 'businessman's ethic' is predeminant. All this optimistic, picture perfect emotionally driven 'art' willn ot bring about success, or money, or power, things that are so superficially valued, so naturally that or thoses who exemplify it are going to be ridic ....

.... gamut ran between the female personae. Published in 1911, Ethan Frome is considered one of the best contemporary short novels of its time. Ethan Frome illuminated Wharton's familiar writing style with a spark of imagination. In this story, as I expressed in the opening paragraph, lie two women. The first is Zenobia Frome, or Zeena for short. In her late twenties, she suffers from a compounded sickness that was thought to be brought on by her taking care of Ethan's mother and her absorption of life's burdens. In this story she is the conflicting character. The other woman is a young Mattie Silver, the cousin of Zeena and the housemaid of the Fromes. Mattie is about tw ....

.... with the rules and regulations, always obeying his superiors; completely different then that of Finny’s personality. “Over your head? Pink! It makes you look like a fairy!” (909). Considering such, he envies Finny, because Finny can ‘get away with murder’ if he wanted to, and can stay out of trouble doing so. “Phineas could get away with anything. I couldn’t help envying him…a little” (909). Knowles shows how much jealousy Gene had over Finny’ s ability to stay out of trouble, no matter what he did. “This time he wasn’t going to get away with it.” (909). He would rather be in accordance ....

.... backgrounds. The one major quality these three tragedies share is that they are all based on the idea of Hubris, in self deception and perception. “There is no tragedy in the expulsion of evil: the tragedy is that this involves the waste of good.” (Bradley) The three characters are not evil people, at least not when they are initially introduced, but are caught in a whirlwind of self-promotion. This windstorm is one that is powered not by weather fronts, but the fronts put up by the tragic heroes to portray themselves as worthy. From this storm of deception, out comes the evil and villainous nature of the reasonably good title characters. This is because ....

.... throughout the book with keeping the fire on the mountain going, and building shelter. " If a ship comes near the island they may not notice us. So we must make smoke on top of the mountain. We must make a fire." pg,37 Ralph always has the strong belief that all the children will be saved from the island sooner or later, but at middle part of the story he begins to doubting it. At end of the story, after the death of Piggy, Ralph’s encounter with the Lord of the Flies, he knocks over the pig’s skull. " A sick fear and rage swept him. Fiercely he hit out at the filthy thing in front of him that bobbed like a toy and came back, still grinning ....

.... Eve free will and the use of reason. Although they choose poorly and are punished with the pains and sufferings of humanity, God allows Adam and Eve to live; though not as they were accustomed to in Paradise. They must live life as we know it; with its weaknesses, yearnings, inevitable defeats; but with the knowledge that they can overcome "To leave this Paradise, but shalt posses / A Paradise within thee, happier far" (Paradise Lost, 12.586-587). Similar to Milton, Pope tries to "vindicate the ways of God to man" (An Essay on Man, p. 2264.16), however he derives a different conclusion. Pope believes that "In pride, in reasoning pride, our error lies" (An Essay on Man, p. 2 ....

.... You could probably put anyone from Leonardo da Vinci to the Wright Brothers to Thelonius Monk in the latter category. The way we acquire our information combined with the veracity of that information affects our subjective sense of reality. It is the reason why propaganda was such a useful weapon during the Cold War years. The ability to create doubt in the minds of society causes that society to question its own sense of cultural/societal/governmental reality. In his book 1984, George Orwell created a society in which the ministry of information controlled the masses by controlling the information they received. The government even went so far as to rewrite history by ch ....
