Typically, men usually are the ones to have these opinions of woman, yet Emilia very strongly feels that as long as she is physically satisfied, that is all she needs. She doesn’t look for emotional support in a man; Emilia tends to look to other woman for that kind of support. In Emilia’s opinion, men are useless for anything other than sex. “Let husbands know their wives have sense like them, they see, and smell, and have their palates both for sweet and sour as husbands have. (4,3,92)” Out of this quote ....

.... 42) between memories of her father and Hamlet who ought have spokedn to her of events on “Valentine’s day."(Act IV, Sc 5, 48) She is doubly hexed and the madness she has infects the whole court.

.... a huge role in creating the fascinating world in ‘Nineteen Eighty Four’. The Inner Party was in charge of Airstrip1 and wanted to be superior over everyone. They wanted the party to be the people’s first loyalty over anything else. They didn’t allow marriage or even sex for this was an act of loyalty between two people and not to the party.

Lastly, the positive outlook is the third characteristic of realism. Henry is overwhelmed with fear and abandons the war. Surprisingly, he escapes unscathed and later learns that his regiment had ended the battle victorio ....

A gap of love,” (Ondaatje, pg.157) suggests his feelings of separation from his close companions. Patrick Lewis is a lost soul and a searcher on a constant journey. In chapter three, ironically titled, "The Searcher", Patrick is searching for Ambrose Small but that is merely a metaphor for his vocation. "He searched out things, he collected things," (Ondaatje, pg.157) indicates that he is always searching for something. The title, “,” can also be used to illustrate Patrick's perpetual search.
