If not for the birthmark on Georgiana’s face, she would have been perfect in Aylmer’s obsessed eyes, dare say perhaps, immortal. He leaves behind all he knows of a life dedicated to science and its workings, to marry Georgiana. That’s a big deal, so it makes the reader wonder why Aylmer is so distraught over this minute detail. Despite Georgiana’s many attributes, Aylmer, a man of science, obsesses himself with removing the flaw from his wife’s face.

Hamartia, or tragic flaw is an essential theme of Shakespearean tragedy as it can provide contrast to a previously successful life by contributing to a drastic change of events.

However he wants more, sometime that his wife cannot provide, but Nola Rice can. The seventh rule in the Ten Commandments in Christianity states “Thou shall not commit adultery.” The act of adultery is given a poor and immoral outlook by society, as it is believed that marriage binds two indefinitely. However it is
I would of thought Ziegfield was loosing it, don't fix what's not broken. Although this was a bold decision, it turned out Fanny could in fact do it all.

How can an ugly little boy, who constantly doubts his worthiness to receive honor be a great knight? How can an honorable knight impregnate a young lady and at the same time hook up with his best friend’s wife, not to mention that it is also his king’s wife, and continually proclaim that he loves and reveres his king? It is the opinion of some that Lancelot was a flawed character because his good intensions were spoiled by lustful actions. Lancelot’s good intention of being the best knight ever was, in his opinion, ruined by the loss of his virginity. Lancelot had saved King Pelle’s daughter, Elaine from a wretched curse she was under and was then invited to their
After two years of captivity he had found a new purpose for his life, to take out revenge upon the man, who had deluded his only source of human affection in his life. The physician was a person of wealth and intellect, who had married a much younger and beautiful woman, to compensate for his deformed image, and to have a companion who could offer him warmth, which he could not attain from reading all the books ever written at the time. Losing this person completely destroyed his world, which lead him to exchange one purpose of his life with another. It is true, that he had neglected his wife during their time together. But I do believe that his years in captivity made him appreciate her more, he had realized her worth.
I can’t help what’s past.’ She began to sob helplessly. ‘I did love him once — but I loved you too.’” (140) Gatsby expects that Daisy will be happy to leave Tom behind and break off her marriage with him. Gatsby's dream has been to build a fortune and reclaim the love that he once lost because, as he sees it, he was too poor for Daisy when they first met. This proves my claim because this displays, in Daisy’s words, that Gatsby did expect too much, he expected for her to make a big deal in front of Tom. This proves my thesis because we can see that he expects a lot of Daisy.
He and his ex-wife often argued a lot for any reason and there was a lot of jealousy. The couple got married after his ex-wife got pregnant; they signed the divorce after three years of marriage. He often visits his kid who now is five years old and the relationship between him and his ex-wife is much better than before. According to Javier, “Divorce is one of the events of greatest impact in the lives of many people. During the divorce the man model is now represented as being flawed”.
Mark Twain was and still is a literary idol for writers to always look up to, and the way he wrote he even became a political figure in America. To change his work without his permission, legal or not, is morally and ethically inappropriate. Carol Lucas said, “I think that if one is to edit Twain and omit what one might think is unacceptable, then one has to start in Shakespeare, the Roman and Greek comedies, most French and British comedies of the 18th and 19th centuries, and so on. Might as well rewrite all of history” (). Through this quote one can easily see how editing Twain’s masterpiece would be a queue for editors around the world to go and edit every inappropriate word of a dead writer’s work.
The deaths of Jay Gatsby and Myrtle Wilson rekindled the flames of Tom and Daisy's marriage. Their ends marked a new beginning for both cheating spouses. They went from not being able to even stand each other to almost a normal matrimony. V. One discovery that stood out to me from reading this book, was the fact that persistence doesn't always pay off. Contrary to popular belief, sometimes it may have adverse consequences.
