Source 2 also suggest that Charles ‘proceeded even when a policy was arousing great opposition’ which also agrees with Source 1 that suggests that Charles ‘saw no need to explain his action’ therefore suggesting that Chares lacked political judgement as he was very inflexible which many people around him found difficult to work with, ‘unworkable’ which led to a problem. Source 1 strongly emphasises that Charles’ elder brother James was ‘accomplished’ whereas Charles was ‘weak’; alternatively source 2 does not mention anything about James. Source 1 suggests that the reason for Charles’ poor communication skills may have been due to the fact that Charles was not brought up to be a ruler, James was. This therefore suggests that the reason Charles ‘failed to understand viewpoints’ may have been due to this fact which again proved to be a major problem in Charles’ personality. Source 1 also strongly emphasises the fact that Charles was ‘short’ and had a ‘stammer’ whereas Source 2 shows no knowledge of this.

His willingness to slaughter the man for so weak a reason is frightening though. It helps to show how twisted Chillingworth truly is. During the end of the novel though, Dimmesdale thwarts Chillingworth’s revenge plot by telling the Puritan community how he had an affair with Hester. This act absolutely ruins Chillingworth because he no longer possesses the power over Dimmesdale.

Iago is an example of an individual that does not want and does not intend on belonging with the Society. The fact that Iago never becomes close to the other characters and instead uses them to assist his plan in destroying Othello, shows his lack of involvement and elevated sense of superiority. Iago’s separation from Society allows him to manipulate and deceive
Absurdity is defined as that which is contrary to reason; clearly untrue, unreasonable or ridiculous. The subject of existentialism is prevalent in Albert Camus’ novel The Stranger portrayed through the life of the protagonist, Meursault. Camus depicts absurdity bringing about happiness or indifference with respect to Meursault's life that are driven by his refusal to behave in accordance with social norms. Those revolts can be seem through instantaneous physical sensations like his sexual relationship with Marie or smoking that Meursualt desires, but invests little to no emotion in them.
