“Doodle said he was too tired to swim, so we got into a skiff and floated down the creek with the tide. Far off the in the marsh a rail was scolding, and over on the beach locusts were singing in the myrtle trees. Doodle did not speak and kept his head turned away, letting one hand trail limply in the water.” (Pg. 9) Towards the end of the summer Doodle became very ill, but his brother did not give up on him. The day the Scarlet Ibis showed up at their house Doodle died from being pushed to the limit of no end.

Because Grendel is and intelligent being, he is tempted by the art. However, he feels that the “sweet lure of the harp … mock[s]” him (Gardner 48). Thinks this because he, like the dragon, feels the world is meaningless. Because Grendel cannot and will no accept the art, he is beaten by the good of the world that does accept it.

He subjects the poor characters of his novel to every imaginable evil that man has been wont to commit in order to prove that this could not be the best of all worlds. Secondarily, Voltaire also seems to have other bones to pick. Hardly a paragraph is written that does not contain a sarcastic comment about or outright mockery of some person, idea, or institution. It is a credit to the skill of the author that he is able to present his criticisms with a humor that is as intoxicating as it is relentless and controversial. The sheer number of insults and implications made by the author coupled with a healthy sprinkling of aristocratic inside jokes would indicate that he essentially wrote this book for himself and other like-minded intellectuals of the enlightenment that disapproved of the status quo or could at least appreciate his cheeky sense of humor.
Bronte's Heathcliff seems to overwhelm the presence of all those around him, as his attempts to quench his thirst for total control of those he meets. Conrad's Kurtz exemplifies Heathcliff's foil; Kurtz has everything, and in his deity-esk complete control he merely finds emptiness. While Heathcliff and Kurtz both obsess over control of those around them, only Heathcliff truly controls the story; as Kurtz plays a more passive role. But in truth, the distance each story occurs from society sets the novels. The lack of, and almost purposeful rejection, of proper conduct guides and shapes the characters into savage animals; as they desperately grasp for control of everything around them.
