Robert Walton is also lonely because he has never had a real friend and confides in Dr. Frankenstein about his dilemma. Walton's loneliness is chosen and is derived from being a failed poet who wants something exciting to happen to him. Walton's loneliness is shown by the letters he sends to his sister and it becomes clear that Walton is the first lonely person the novel. The fact that Walton is not writing to a friend or wife brings up the fact that he may have no one else to write to. Walton
The death of Hamlet’s father creates an immense obligation that demands revenge, causing distress, deception, and corruption in which the hero must stay true to himself and to Denmark. When Hamlet learns of his father’s death, he is depressed and mourning the loss. Hamlet wears black clothes to symbolize his depression and prefers solitude over speaking to other people. Although when he does speak with anyone, he only converses about depressing subject matters. Gertrude, Claudius, Polonius, and many other characters all discover that Hamlet is having a very hard time with the death of his father.
While some people began an angry man hunt for the killer, others simply wept for their lost President. For with the loss of President Lincoln hope too was lost for many people. James D. Gay wrote several poems and short stories, most of which were about President Lincoln and the Civil War. From his writings you can easily tell he was pro Union and loved his President. In this particular poem Gay writes the death was “a fearful shock!” and that “The stores were closed, our flag was draped, Our hearts felt sick and sore..” He is clearly mourning the death of one of his country’s greatest leaders along with the rest of the America.
He is also confronted with another fear, Due to a childhood memory, Stephen is also afraid of birds. Even though the tunnellers use canaries to detect gas, Stephen still enters the tunnels. After a fire fight with Germans in the tunnels, he is gravely injured and left for dead with the other dead
In the poem, The Mower’s Song, the author is comparing his life to a meadow. It is also a love poem because his heart was broken by Juliana and he is pining for her and it is truly tearing him apart. I think his purpose for writing this poem was to express his sorrows of betrayal and his feelings about the situation he is in. His mood seems very pessimistic and depressed and he also seems like he has self-destructive and suicidal thoughts. One example of this is when he states, “And flowers, and grass, and I and all, Will in one common ruin fall.” That seems really sad to me and it is obvious he is suffering.
People are beginning to tuen against him and he feel she has nothing left to live for. He "My way of life is fall'n into the sere, the yellow leaf" It is at this point Macbeth feels he there is nothing worth living for, he feels he wants to die as nothing is going the way he planned for it to. He believes his life is is beginning to wither and die like a yellowing leaf in Autumn. The audience also feel pity for Macbeth because he learns his wife has commited suicide. I think he feels lonely and that his life is just dragging by.
This is a very depressing part of the poem as it is very sad how he will not be able to do anything about it like he has wasted the rest of his life. Another part in the poem where he shows the horror and tragedy of war is when the poet uses strong adjectives like, 'ghastly' in the first stanza which stands out as a horrible, unpleasant death-like word describing the suit he wears. Owen also uses past memories in the poem of how he used to have a great life with football, drinking and women. 'In the old times, before he threw away his knees.' The poet is slightly showing that this man was a normal human who had a great life, but then he threw away his knees as if one minute he had everything, the next with nothing.
It caused deep psychological effects on everyone. Abandonment, even of friend and family members was common. Many devout believers were losing faith in God.

He expresses his grief at losing close friends, as well as, resentment for an overly vengeful God, who would punish men not only their crimes, but also the crimes of their fathers.
Johnny also has frequent thoughts of suicide which could be due to depression, feeling unloved by his parents, socially undesirable, seeing himself as “out of place” even amongst friends, and that he internalizes that actions of others. Throughout the film he never really comes to terms with his role in life. He runs to Dallas when he needs to make a decision, probably as he feels uncomfortable making a decision that will affect others as well as himself. One sign of strength in his character is that he decides to turn himself in so the Ponyboy could go back home to his family and friends. When he is in hospital with life-threatening burns and talking to Ponyboy the first time he says he regretted a lot of his past; that he wished he had never helped rescue the children, and that he didn’t want to die even though he didn’t know what to do with his
