Miss Emily is an older woman, which is not particularly someone most people would see as violent. She meets a love interest by the name of Homer Barron. Barron and Emily go on carriage rides through the park routinely. When Emily finds out that Barron is not as serious about their union as she is, she takes it amongst herself to purchase poison that happens to be labeled “For Rats.” What we then see is an example within an example. Southern gothic characters usually posses some type of characteristic that makes them dark and sick- minded.
Curiosity Killed the Cat After reading the four short stories, the proverb “curiosity killed the cat” seemed to echo through my head. This proverb is meant to teach us that if you are too interested in things you should not be interested in, you may be causing yourself problems by trying to find out things you don't need to know. If curiosity is used foolishly it can result in a negative outcome, for example, Bluebeard’s wife wanting to find what is in the forbidden room in “Bluebeard”, the heroine entering the forbidden room in “The Bloody Chamber, and Sally who is overly curious and wants to know every detail about her husband in “Bluebeard’s Egg”. In comparison, if curiosity is used wisely it can result in a positive outcome, for example, the woman in “The Key” presents curiosity as something positive in her seminars and encourages the women not to settle for the unknown but to fight for the truth. In the short story, “Bluebeard” by Charles Perrault, curiosity gets Bluebeard’s wife in a great deal of trouble.
This conflicting mood soon proves that the setting is just another one of the illusions in the story. The reader then begins to see that the setting in fact contributes to the overall disturbing mood. The roses in The Possibility of Evil are an effective symbol for the perfection of the town which Miss Strangeworth is aiming for. She is extremely proud and possessive of her roses. The author includes; “Miss Strangeworth never gave away any of her roses, although the tourists often asked her” (Jackson, 223).
She is able to manipulate facts and reality, hide the truth and be in control of whom she is. However, it is not very stable, and can easily be destroyed, just as easily as Blanche’s illusions. Stanley, the antithesis of Blanche, “[smashes] light bulbs” [pg. 72] for pleasure. He loves light and is not afraid of confrontation.
Like the bees trapped in the jar, Lily feels she is stuck in impossible circumstances that she will never be able to free. Lily “…watched as they orbited the space in the jar, around and around like they’d miss the exit” (Monk Kidd 26). Her observation about the bees makes her realize that her situation will not to improve, like the bees, so she has to take matters into her own hands. This epiphany leads Lily to run away from her father with her African American housekeeper, laying out conflicts throughout the rest of the book. Another important aspect bees symbolize is human society.
Previous action: The previous action of Act 2, which is the closing of Act 1, is Abigail and Betty in feverish ecstasy, since others believe their ridiculous stories. Therefore, both of the young girls are compiling a list of names to Hale, to arrest the accused “witches.” It is consequential to note that Act 1 ended in a very violet action and Act 2 begins in a soothing tone. Polar Attitudes (John Proctor): Proctor most definitely displays polar attitudes in

In a twist of fate, she is transformed into a woman with the strength, speed, agility and senses of a cat.
The fear of getting punishment for the dancing that occurred in the woods was what prompted the girls to start accusing innocent people of witchery. The heart of this conflict that is driven by pure fear shows how the girls transform and go against their religious backgrounds to fuel these false accusations to save themselves from being punished and therefore creating the upsurge of conflicts in the town Salem. Abigail starts these false accusations by exaggerating the truth and putting the blame on Tituba "Sometimes I wake and find myself standing in the open doorway and not a stitch on my body! I always hear her laughing in my sleep. I hear her singing her Barbados songs and tempting me with-".
