This shows that he is highly unpopular with lawyers as he believes if they do not do their job properly they should be fined however lawyers are the only category which state that he is un-liked compared to the ‘whole people’. Sources 1 and 2 both agree that he had a lot of power over the nobility and they were not fond of that. Source 1 state’s ‘his hostility towards...nobles’ this shows that Wolsey was aggressive towards the nobles which created ‘great irritation’. Wolsey saw himself above the nobility so he did not give them any respect and believed they could not do their job properly. Source 2 agrees that he had a lot of power of the nobility as he ‘shakes them by the ear’ this quote show that Skelton was taking the mick out of the nobility for not standing up to Wolsey which shows the amount of power he had over them but also that the nobles did actually fear Wolsey.
Paul’s hatred for his middle class lifestyle is so strong, that he feels it is necessary to ‘artificially enhance’ his life by lying and stealing. Even though Cordelia street is a respectable neighbourhood, Paul views it as a poor and ugly area, because it lacks the extravagence that represents wealth and to him beauty. In Paul’s world, “the natural nearly always wears the guide of ugliness, that a certain element of artificiality seemed necessary in beauty.” (Paul’s Case, pg. 7). Paul despises his common life so much that he feels he must hid it from his peers through lies.
Whilst everyone else on the ranch, and America at the time, is struggling due to the Depression Curley seems careless, wreckless, continues to pick fights and make people feel even worse. It's almost as if he's completely outside of the Economic Struggle, which in fact suggests that Curley's a lonely character, and when in contrast with all the other characters his cruelty is emphasised. Due to this Economic Struggle having getting a job was extremely difficult, to have one and be wealthy was classed as the 'American
The use of the word ‘expected’ is important, as it shows how Kröte, in not doing what was expected of him, is in defiance of society. In the club, he possesses the power, as the guests cannot leave until he has finished playing. Instead of the clichéd ‘short and sweet’ piece he was meant to play, instead he performed long and, to the musically unappreciative, boring pieces of Brahms and Handel. Moreover, as 'The coffee's made, the supper's warm', the guests are described as ‘ravenous’, and this once again alludes to the base animalistic nature present in all humans. The asyndeton, the absence of conjunction, in
This scared Louis XIV a lot, but it also benefited him. The townspeople began to consider him as an absolute monarch, because they would rather have one then the series of riots that were going on. For the people/peasants, nothing could compare to the awful Fronde. Now that he was an absolute Monarch, Louis had an extravagant lifestyle. He had food, got his way, and everything he wanted!
Phil himself was “overweight” and unhealthy, obsessed with work and negligent with his personal life. Goodman condemns the lifestyle that Phil leads by proving negative and poignant illustrations. Phil attempts to be the best and most important worker to his company. Phil has made his family non-existent in his life because of his over-working habits. They are no longer the important aspect of his life as all focus shifts to himself to become important to others who seemingly don’t care about him.
In my opinion Nature is like their escape from the worlds. In Sylvia’s case she finds bliss and happiness in nature, but in Dave’s case it is just used for egocentric reasons; he is not one with nature like Sylvia is. Money like in all stories is a portrayed as a means for living. Sylvia needed it because she was broke, and Dave needed it to buy his “manhood”. Finally both stories illustrate just how different our gender-based worlds are.
Montag actually takes joy in this atrocious and destructive vocation and delights himself in observing all of the anguish he causes, which is seen in his quote “'Kerosene,' he said, because the silence had lengthened, 'is nothing but perfume to me'” ( Bradbury 2). Montag took pride in the smell of kerosene that seemed to constantly hang around him, the smell of the liquid used to help books burn. In spite of all of the apparent gratification he receives from his employment, Montag begins to secretly yearn for the information found in the books he
One example of bad criticism is from Infinity Book Reviews. Josh Barkman states, “ I really didn’t like the concept the author used for this series. He used the society’s (more specifically, the youth’s) desires to fit into their concept for ideal beauty, and created a world wherein turning “Pretty” was the ultimate achievement that can be attained in life. In this world, all of the “Uglies” undergo an operation when they come of age and turn into party-freak “Pretties” my feel is it down right degrading as a human being.” The reviewer shows he doesn’t like the way Westerfeld writes the novel by taking the concept of girl’s self-conscience and making a huge twist on it. Another bad critique of Uglies is from Imaginary Books.
Rather spend; he is greedy, not even spending money for electricity at his workplace but rather working with candles during the night. What Dickens presents and commentates on is even though the upper class has it all, they rather seem to be stingy and greedy, not wanting to share their wealth, not wanting to give for the better. Not wanting to do so only creates a bad reputation for the upper class. On the other hand, Tiny Tim, and his family have close to nothing at all, only to be more giving and wanting than the upper class fellows. Dickens demonstrations here that Tiny Tim is the most vulnerable of all the lower class yet he is one of the most giving and happy members of the lower class, which puts shame on Scrooge and his fellow upper class men.
