Reverend Hale's closed mind prevented him from seeing the true John Proctor Hale arrives at Proctor's house to warn him that Elizabeth has been accused of witchcraft. Despite their reputation as model citizens, Hale jumps a to any opportunity to label them as evil. Elizabeth does not give him what he wants to hear, so he turns his attention to
The way in which they immediately jumped to such a conclusion implies that they think very little of the Irish and are quick to stereotype them. | Ceremonial hat | 109 135 | Skinner wears the hat both while in the parlour and when he is later shot dead. “is lying beside Skinner’s body” | Symbolic of his complete disrespect towards the British. | Faulty speaker | 110 | The speaker used by the woman leading the civil rights meeting is faulty and due to this she cannot be heard properly. | Similarly the Irish have no voice in society.
We know that this character is excluded from the minute that he's introduced to the reader. For example, in page 21, exclusion of this character is first presented when Candy says "the stable buck's a nigger". Using the term 'nigger' to describe the character tells us that there's a strong racial exclusion and Crooks isn't of a high social ranking. Steinbeck later then develops the exclusion of this character when Candy also says "the boss give him hell when he's mad". This just tells us that The Boss, who's a character of high register and of a much higher social ranking excludes Crooks and gives him 'hell'.
Throughout the first scene, Iago and Roderigo also never refer to Othello by name, however, the audience quickly learn that both characters hate 'the moor', as this – amongst other derogatory terms, including 'thick-lips' – is the only title given to him. This, again dehumanises the character, as Shakespeare depicts the hero as little more than a title to be sneered at and belittled. Iago also speaks of his dislike of Cassio: “And what was he? Forsooth, a great arithmetician, one Michael Cassio... that never set a squadron in the field, nor the division of a battle knows more than a spinster—unless the bookish theoric, Mere prattle without practice is all his soldiership.” Through this, Iago questions and demeans Cassio's military ability, however, his main annoyance is with Othello for his decision to promote this man above him. Through this, Shakespeare also suggests that Iago feels that Othello's judgement is faulty.
Weir highlights this through costuming, for example, when Book wears Jacob’s (Rachel’s dead husband) clothes. The full shot of Book wearing the ill-fitting clothes, coupled with his uncomfortable facial expression, demonstrates his unsuccessful attempts at being completely accepted in the Amish community. His intruding presence in their community is symbolised by the act of his car knocking into the birdhouse, emphasising the disruption of harmony and peace. His stay with the Amish teacher Book that violence is not the key to solving problems, and competes with his rival Daniel for the affections of Rachel. However, his supreme ordeal is defeating the enemy, which he successfully accomplishes at the end, as shown by the close up shot the group of
Daisy and Tom haven't been to Gatsby's parties, because they dislike the "new money" types, and so do their East Egg friends. Wilson has blended into his social and geographical background so much that he has become almost ghost-like. Nick scurries back across America to avoid death or the feeling of restlessness that has come upon those others that have stepped outside their
‘coz wetjalas in this town don’t want us ‘ere, don’t want our kids at the school with their kids…. They reckon Bert ‘Awkes gonna give him a hiding in the election.” The Constable tries to cover up the truth by saying: “what the hell would you know? You don’t even vote!” This shows that aboriginals know why there are treated like this but can’t do anything as they have no power. Power in this the play is symbolised by the cat-o-nine-tails. When Mary is told she is going to work at the hospital she is angry and resistant: “I’m not gunna work in the hospital” he takes the cat-0-nine –tails from his desk, and when Mary answers back,: “go to hell” Neal responds with: “Millimurra seems to have learnt you well.
“But perhaps it is because the red man is a savage and does not understand” (1), these are the words spoken in Chief Seattle’s “Letter to President Pierce: 1855.” Although Chief Seattle criticizes the white man for destroying earth; however the truth is Chief Seattle shows his inability to adapt to white culture. “There is no quite place in the white man’s cities” (1), at some point Chief Seattle got disconnected with everyday living and the way society is. He considered the earth and people living not to be his brother but his enemy, Chief Seattle claims that there is no place for him to hear the leaves of spring or the rustle of insect wings. Like a man dying for many days he is numb to others and their feelings he considered himself to
9, The colonists were very angry at the stationing of a permanent British army in the colonies. The colonies knew that it was just a gesture to intimidate them and was not really for their protection. Plus, the added insult of being forced to house and feed these troops made them even more resentful over the abuse of power by England. In answer to this the Constitution in article 1, section 10, which states; “No soldier shall, without the consent of congress, lay any duty of tonnage, keep troops, of ships of war in time of peace. And lastly in the Bill Of Rights, amendment 3, “No soldier shall, in the time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.
