Then they, too, are in awe at his handsomeness, his masculinity, and his size. While they admire the drowned man, they think that he must have been ashamed of his size in life, and must have felt awkward on account of it. Together, the villagers prepare a splendid funeral for the drowned man. When they finally let his body go over the cliff and back to the waves below,
However, courage that qualifies heroism is greater than that. According to “Eve’s Daughter”, courage in the term of heroism is the courage to sacrifice oneself to benefit the others (Mariam 165). She also explains that a hero most likely has a physical and mental strength to achieve a goal which is more important than life (165). Edward Bloom definitely has this quality. For example, while Edward is resting under a tree by a river, he sees Cottonmouth, a poisonous snake that can kill a person within a second after biting, is swimming toward a bathing woman.
In East of Eden, Cathy is a sinner who can basically control people’s minds. Adam Trask feels like Cathy is the perfect woman that he has been looking for and does not see the true evil in her until it is too late. Caleb and Aron can be compared to Cain and Abel. Because Abel was doing all of his work in the fields better, Cain got jealous and killed him with a rock. In East of Eden, Charles got jealous of Adam because he thought their dad loved Adam more than him.
Though the women were unaware of what Sammy had done. His actions were noble and this was also a focal point in the development of the character's growth. Sammy desire to quit his job runs more deeper than that of being the “unsuspected hero” of those women. Yes he did admire the beauty of Queenie, but at the same time its possible to assume that he wanted her lifestyle: All of a sudden I slid right down her voice into her living room. Her father and the other men were standing around in ice-cream coats and bow ties and the women were in sandals picking up herring snacks on toothpicks off a big plate and they were all holding drinks the color of water with olives and sprigs of mint in them.
Mr. Wright was killing her slowly but surely and she had no choice but to deal with the agony he put her through. During this time period woman who talked bad on their husbands were looked bad upon. So she had no choice but to keep to herself, even though she probably wouldn’t have anyway because of her humble personality. Mrs. Wright had purchased a songbird which she grew deeply in love with. The bird brought her much more than music, but finally she had some sort of joy and happiness.
On one hand, Margot is fashionable and presents herself well. Furthermore, she is “kept” by her husband in a state of luxurious affluence. Ironically, she is not “well-kept” by her husband at all, as she freely and unapologetically commits adultery. Her marriage to Francis Macomber is obviously not a happy one, but she refuses to divorce him because of his money, but Francis cannot divorce her because of her beauty. Margot is delighted when Francis runs from the lion; because she thinks it would give her more psychological control over him.
This nonsensical simile is used to create in the readers minds the idea that this fish really is a man, and his actions show it too. The poet uses this pun to make us laugh about the similarities between this fish and a man, but at the same time we feel pity for him as we know that if “his heart skins like a” stone he is feeling depressed and heart-broken and if “he drinks like a” fish he must be (like the poem later says) drowning his sorrows in alcohol. Similarly, other puns like these are found in the poem (“she makes kissy lips at him”), that describe the characters flirty human behaviour, showing that the poet also compares the female fish to a human too. The implication that the fish can feel, drink or make kissy lips is also personification that further strengthens the comparison, literally

Actually, he says, if she has to marry, Ophelia should marry a fool, as wise men know that women only make men into "monsters", even while knowing this Ophelia kept on loving Hamlet even though Hamlet would not respect her. In act 3 scene 1, Hamlet and Ophelia are having a conversation but Hamlet is just disrespecting her in front of everyone and she doesn’t say anything but stays quiet the whole time. Ophelia’s death was an unfortunate accident. She was at best dimly aware that she was drowning – ironically a solution to her
