This is showing that he knows about his privileges and knows when to use them to try and get him and his family to get him out of trouble with the inspector. Mr Birling is a character that likes the sound of his own voice. He says many things that the audience doesn’t want to hear, such as when he starts telling them about the war and the ‘unsinkable’ Titanic. “I say, there isn’t a chance of war the worlds developing fast…The Titanic-she sails next week-New York in 5 days-Every luxury-and unsinkable”. This shows dramatic irony because we actually know that the Titanic did sink.
ISU Purposeful Pauses Character There are two main characters that the story revolves around in. The first character is Eva, the mother of a young psycho killer and Kevin, her son. The relationship between the two distinct individuals is quite exquisite because the relationship refines both love and hatred. In my opinion, both characters, especially Eva is bipolar in many parts of the novel because she is extremely happy at a moment and she would be extremely sad at another point. For example, when she was conceived with Kevin, she had undying hatred for the fetus but at the same time she marvels at the miracle of life and prepares herself to take are of the child.
As the two men get together, Montresor tells Fortunato “[they] are lucky [they] met” (180). This statement foreshadows something bad coming in Fortunato’s future because meeting up with Montresor is anything but lucky for Fortunato. As the two men enter the house and head for the vault “there [are] not attendants at home” (181). An empty house with no witnesses is a clear hint that bad things are coming. As Montresor and Fortunato head down into the vault Montresor “put[s] on a mask of black silk” (181).
The constant use of "I" puts us right in the narrator’s head and allows us to empathize with her. Ironic Indirection If we took the narrator’s words at face value, we would believe that her husband is kind and loving, that she really is physically ill, and that women really do get trapped in wallpaper. All of this is questionable at best and mostly dead wrong. This is part of the fun of first person narration – you’re never quite sure if the narrator’s perceptions actually reflect what’s going on. The narrator's tone also clues us into her character – her uncertainty and hesitation at the start of the story, and her determination towards the
Suddenly, inescapably, the responsibility for alleviating her misery became hers: she had to make a choice. "But I love him, doctor." The triumph of the doctrine of the sovereignty of sentiment over sense would have delighted the Romantics, no doubt, but it has promoted an unconscionable amount of misery. "Your boyfriend is unlikely to change. He strangles you because he enjoys it and gets a feeling of power from doing so.
On the oppose side of the marital spectrum, Zeena regularly professes her hypochondria to her husband. However, in response to the sledding accident, she “seemed to be raised right up just when the call came to her” (Wharton 131). This ironic “miracle” proves Zeena’s addiction to martyrdom, emotionally dependent on first her illnesses, then to her vocational role. Although professedly unhappy, she relies on her marriage for a sense of purpose. In an examination of the constancies, it seems as though both wife and husband, woman and man, are reliant upon both one another and their marriage to function
Although the play is referred to as "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" Caesar was partly at fault for his own death. His arrogant attitude towards Romans and his self centered attitude brought an early death upon him. Caesar received many warnings which may have saved his life but unfortunately hubris got the best of him and Caesar was brought down. Arrogance is defined as "offensive display of superiority or self importance and overwhelming pride". This was the character of Caesar in a single sentence.
This continues after multiple attempts to tell her husband that she is uncomfortable with the yellow wallpaper. Until her mental break comes her husband is not able to see the extent of the damage he has done by leaving her without emotional and mental stimulation (Gilman 588-600). While this case is different than the other story it is still about missed managed emotions. As a result of being locked away in a room she lost what makes people feel good about themselves their emotional connections with others. Having no one to connect with she is force to focus on her self to the point where she is unknowingly projecting herself as the women be hide the wallpaper as a metaphor for her being trapped by the walls of the summer house and her own
Juror #7 is a slick, obnoxious salesman whose only concern is to get the deliberations over quickly so he can get to that evening’s baseball game. He assumes that the defendant is guilty and has no interest in discussing it. At one point he makes some prejudiced remarks about immigrants in reference to Juror #11. Juror #8 is a quiet, thoughtful man whose main concern is that justice be done. An architect by profession, he is the first juror to vote “not guilty” on the very first ballot.
The ‘timetable’ list that Nick creates noted in Chapter four is a great example of the dwelling and pretentiousness of the wealthy living in the Jazz Age. By Chapter four it is clear that Nick isn’t spending his time selling bonds, but socialising and living in the dream of a mysterious neighbour, which is illustrated well in this chapter. Nick begins the chapter telling the reader “I can still read the gray names, and they will give you a better impression than my generalities”, already persuading the reader that the upcoming ‘facts’ that were written simply of those whom attended, setting aside his ‘generalities’. He then goes on to contradict his previous statement by then judging the attendees – “...a whole clan named Blackbuck, who always
