This rule is also broken when she uses the word gangrenous to describe flesh, instead of using a word that could create more imagery for the reader such as rotten or decomposed flesh, which is also easier to understand. The rule that states never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent means that you shouldn’t be using words that will not be easily understood by your readers. When Chow says “It would look innocuous enough, a
It is through dismemberment, and the dismemberment of hands in particular, that the play can be seen through an emblematic perspective to signify the justification of vengeance and the loss of political and personal agency. This essay looks to explore the symbolic meaning of dismembered hands in Titus Andronicus through an anthropological context, incorporating the classical writings of Greek physician Galen along with multiple pieces of widely circulated Renaissance art, emblems, and ritual gestures. The focus will then turn to three distinct scenes of dismemberment within the play: the symbolic nature in the loss of Livinia and Titus’s hands, and how the return of Titus’s hand to the stage can be understood. Dismemberment functions to reveal the adverse trait of overconfidence in Titus, a characteristic that fuels an
Detroit: Gale, 1998. From Literature Resource Center. Document Type: Critical essay [Image Omitted: ] Full Text: [In the following essay, Millhauser considers Frankenstein's monster in relation to the tradition of the “noble savage” in literature.] The estimate of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein familiar to us from literary handbooks and popular impression emphasizes its macabre and pseudo-scientific sensationalism: properly enough, so far as either its primary conception or realized qualities are concerned. But it has the effect of obscuring from notice certain secondary aspects of the work which did, after all, figure in its history and weigh with its contemporary audience, and which must, therefore, be taken into consideration before either the book or the young mind that composed it has been properly assayed.

Allison Reynolds: The best type of assessment for Allison is an objective test. Specifically, the MMPI-2 Inventory. It is evident that Allison tends to be considered ‘odd’ to others as she carries out odd actions such as failing to engage in the others’ conversation (in the beginning), and scratching her head wildly so that her dandruff would fall on paper. The MMPI test would help diagnose psychological disorders that Allison may have in relation to her peculiar behavior. Significantly, since objective tests are self-reported, and include written responses, true & false questions, and multiple-choice questions, this will help Allison to describe herself.
The courts now acknowledge evidence of the “battered woman syndrome” in order to prove increasing effects of abuse. At first glance it appeared that for a female to use violence as an act of defense would be an empowering action, such as an abused woman who murders her abuser. Further examination of this notion reveals that females who murder their abusers are functioning under the same male-dominated system that promotes violence. As a result, the act of murder can’t be feminist because feminism aspires to end patriarchal
Continuously throughout the text she performs acts of deception which tragically condemn others to death just to cover her lies. Miller exhibits that power lies with those who have people to impose it upon. This power is demonstrated most effectively in Mary Warren’s retraction in Act 3. When Mary confesses against the witchcraft is Salem Abigail and the other girls abuse the power of unity and accuse Mary of spiritually attacking them. Abigail says, ‘Oh please Mary!
Repentance, is not merely feeling sorry for sin. A person may feel truly remorseful for their critical spirit, greed, or anger. As important as it is to feel the weight of our sin, these emotions are not repentance. In fact, if we accept tears as repentance, then we can actually obstruct the person from doing the really hard work of change. Reverend Dimmesdale tried really hard to change in order to feel penitent while Hester didn't try and make a change even after she was publically punished.
Such helpfulness was found in her -so much power to do and power to sympathize – that many people refused to interpret the scarlet ‘A’ by its original signification. They said that it meant ‘Able’” (Hawthorne 158). The reason why the “A” changes meanings is because the guilt is displayed on Hester for everyone to see. This allows Hester to ignore the negative connotations of the “A” which eventually changes its meaning. Furthermore, Hester knows that the sin she commits was wrong, but she chooses to feel no guilt for her actions.
I agree with her statement because body piercing and tattoos are a way of self-expression for an individual, but it is also an unfulfilling quest as one tattoo or piercing can lead to another and can be addictive. When Josie Appleton stated, “Body modification should be put back in a box…with existential significance that the problems start." What she
