The town blamed this behavior on her father, "We remembered all the young men her father had driven away" (p. 93). She has already missed out on so much of life by the time her father dies, she feels the desire to become a mother and a wife. At the age of thirty Emily's this drive overpowers her “hereditary obligation to the town” (p.
He always overprotected Emily and controlled her movements. No man was ever good enough for his beautiful daughter. Once her father died, Emily became lonely and struggled with his death to such an extent, that she refused to believe that he was gone and did not want to release his body until three days passed and police forced her to do so. Later Emily meets Homer, and they began to spent time together. Townsfolk, from seeing the couple together, begin to think that they will marry and everything seems normal, until Homer disappears.
A moment later, Joel's father disappeared; he was never heard from again. Next to tell their story was Casper Gattan, which was a name that he gave himself because he had no memories of childhood. When Casper Gattan returned from an out of town trip and was coming inside through the back door, he saw someone escape in the darkness just like Joel Hetman had. The last part he talked about is that he in a dream-like state strangles his wife in bed. Finally, the late Julia Hetman tells her story through Medium Bayrolles.
Duffy structures the poem like a monologue so the reader can track Havisham’s descent into inhumanity, as she descends further into madness. It begins with “beloved sweetheart” presenting the potential off love to someone wanting a “male corpse”. The monologues track the progress of the characters as they descend further into inhumanity. Each piece shows loss of humanity through the influence of external forces and how they are partly responsible for the characters’ loss of humanity. Shakespeare uses Lady Macbeth’s persuasion and the witches’ charm, both in act 1 to show the influence of others.
First Macbeth sees the dagger that he will use to kill Duncan. Then, he sees the ghost of Banquo who he had murdered. Last, Lady Macbeth was confessing her sins in a sleepwalking trance. The three scenes are important because they demonstrate a theme in the play. Word Count:
Everyone except the grandmother, a selfish religious old woman, agrees on Florida as their destination. She tries to persuade her family to abandon their original plans, saying that there is an escaped killer on the loose, foreshadowing events that lead to the family’s murder. The grandmother is central to the rest of the story’s plot involving an accident where the family’s car flips resulting in a confrontation with the escaped convict, The Misfit. The grandmother, pointing out The Misfit’s identity, essentially dooms herself and her entire family. As a last plea to The Misfit, the grandmother attempts to manipulate his evil motives with a transcendence of religion that fails and ultimately drives him to murder her.
The theme that Gwendolyn Brooks wants to show that Emmett Till did not have a fair trial to justify his death, and that Carolyn Brooks’ husband should have been convicted and punished for the murder. In the poem, “A Bronzeville Mother Loiters in Mississippi. Meanwhile, a Mississippi Mother Burns Bacon”, an extended fairy tale metaphor is used to depict the life of Carolyn Brooks following the murder of Emmett Till by her husband. The wife in the poem begins to realize that her husband is not the man she once loved, and she starts to have increased hatred for him. This poem is an allegory for the death of Emmett Till, showing the resentment felt by Carolyn Brooks toward her

The unstable Grandmother in A Good Man is Hard to Find Flannery O’Connor’s A Good Man is Hard to Find is a short story of a grandmother that fits into the Southern Gothic tradition. The grandmother touched him on the shoulder. The Misfit jumped back as if a snake had bitten him and shot her three times through the chest. This is a story of a family’s vacation that was tragically ended by a murderer and his gang after an interfering Mother/Mother-In-Law/Grandmother tries to insist that the family not to go to Florida but go to Tennessee instead. It was in fact her own reinforcement that prompted the family to stray from the main path in search of some false Misfit.
And demandin’ of her how she come to be so stabbed, she testify it were your wife’s familiar spirit pushed it in’” (Miller 71). Spoken by Ezekiel Cheever, a clerk of the court, this dialogue shows that Abigail purposely stabs herself to make it seem as if it were the evil act of Elizabeth’s spirit. When the townsmen search the Proctors’ home, they discover the poppet with a needle poked in it (Abigail’s doing). Elizabeth is arrested, and Abigail is satisfied – for the time being. John Proctor, on the other hand, is outraged because he clearly knows the real motive behind Abigail’s deceitful
