She is in a conflict because she wants to be with her “normal” boyfriend but she actually falls in love with Edward. Edward scissor is a unique character he endures a lot of emotional and physical suffering. Emotionally he knows that he will not be loved or accepted, he is isolated and he falls in love with Kim. Physically he suffers because he has scissors for hands; he can’t eat drink or dress himself. When he is in the car driving to pegs house, he sees the beauty and the relationship of families and how they interact with each other it is obvious that he can’t fit into suburbia, which makes him sad, in the bogs dinner scene we can see the physical pain and distress of him not being able to be independent.
Being the cynical, seemingly unreliable pedophile he was, Svidrigailov at first appears like one of the weakest examples of a character who would trigger positive change in someone else; the author, however, implies otherwise. Throughout the discussions he has with Svidrigailov, Raskolnikov seems to intensely hate the character and consider him inferior in moral sense; Raskolnikov’s ability to recognize Svidrigailov’s “low” characteristics is one of the initiators of his rational thinking process concerning morality (a process that did not seem to exist in him as strongly before he met Svidrigailov). His passionate disapproval of Svidrigailov’s actions (as well as his attempted charitable act towards Dunya to make up for those actions), reveals in Raskolnikov an extremely protective and caring nature as a brother - and above all, the fact that he has a true “sensor” for negative (and positive) characteristics in humans. Even though Raskolnikov’s thoughts and ideas from his half-mad monologues and scenes of delirium are
The scene in which Kane and Gettys have a confrontation is one that shows a lot about the characterisation of Kane. While the physical stability of Kane is lost is this moment as he is definitely is a position of less power than Gettys, the stability of his character remains. He is still selfish and power hungry which is reflected when he refuses to back down to Gettys and makes the decision to abandon his family before abandoning his own pride. The third key moment of change that really shows the stability of Kane’s character and the refusal to be anything that he isn’t is in the scene where Susan Alexander leaves him. Kane has an inability to see past himself and think about any situation in a selfless manner.
One example of bad criticism is from Infinity Book Reviews. Josh Barkman states, “ I really didn’t like the concept the author used for this series. He used the society’s (more specifically, the youth’s) desires to fit into their concept for ideal beauty, and created a world wherein turning “Pretty” was the ultimate achievement that can be attained in life. In this world, all of the “Uglies” undergo an operation when they come of age and turn into party-freak “Pretties” my feel is it down right degrading as a human being.” The reviewer shows he doesn’t like the way Westerfeld writes the novel by taking the concept of girl’s self-conscience and making a huge twist on it. Another bad critique of Uglies is from Imaginary Books.
The Reluctant Fundamentalist In the text ‘The Reluctant Fundamentalist’ by Mohsin Hamid, the protagonist Changez is slowly revealed as an unreliable narrator through the progression of the framed narrative. Mohsin Hamid has written this piece as an extended monologue and used it create security within the reader and the details of the story, but then slowly shifts the whole situation and little by little continues the development of Changez being an unreliable narrator. Slowly but surely, as the novel progresses, the reader is shown the comparisons that the narrator Changez makes between cultures, the views that he has and racial prejudice he develops towards Americans when talking to the unnamed American tourist. It is also gradually revealed to the reader that Changez has forgotten many details of his story when recounting it, also exaggerating parts and giving his views on certain things, hence making him an unreliable narrator. It is very easy to believe everything that Changez says in the beginning, because of his likeable characteristics, but the more and more one connects with the narrator, the harder it becomes to be so gullible.

The Great Gatsby In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby, the topic of an unreliable narrator arises. Nick Carraway, who is the narrator of this novel, is seen as a biased/unreliable narrator due to his speech when he speaks about Jay Gatsby and also because he is not an omniscient narrator. Because of these decrepencies, it is impossible to see Nick as a reliable narrator. At the beginning of the novel, F. Scott Fitzgerald immediately forms Nick Carraways character. Nick describes himself as being someone who reserves all judgment but, throughout the novel he is constantly relaying his opinion about other people.

The reader almost feels sorry for The Misfit because he seems so confused and helpless. In “A Good Man Is Hard To Find: Overview”, Arthur F. Kinney suggests that God sometimes is good to certain people even though they may not deserve it. There are reasons for this difficulty. Throughout O’Connor’s short stories and novels, God seems to spend his grace on the unlikeliest of people. Usually they do not appear to deserve his blessing; almost as often
Her actions (if psychoanalyzed) were caused by her unconscious desires, fears, needs, and conflicts. Edna does not get what she wants from her husband, but she is only somewhat aware of how much she needs from another man. When Edna kisses Alcée, she does not kiss him out of love. It’s her animalistic desires that she’s acting upon, but she isn’t initially aware of it. She feels incredibly sexually attracted to Alcée, which is a feeling that she has not felt in a very long time.
