Some people would stop at nothing to get money. Such as the Duke and King and Pap. Unfortunately, with Huck having over six thousand dollars, Pap does stop at nothing to get the money. He literally works himself to death trying to obtain it. In the beginning we learn that Huck sells his six thousand dollar fortune to Judge Thatcher for one dollar to make sure his father will never get it.
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain I. Discover Moses and the Bulrushers (pg 1) Huckleberry Finn is kept by a widow who provides for his schooling and life necessities but he hates being mannered and wants to runaway all the time. The widow’s sister – “a tolerable slim old maid” – teachers him the Bible and Huck soon finds it pointless to learn about “dead people” but would only stand all these miseries because he wants to join Tom Sawyer’s gang in the robbing business (2). II. Our Gang’s Dark Oath (pg 4) Tom Sawyer calls Huckleberry Finn out and they are almost caught by the slave Jim, who is famous “because he got stuck up on account of having seen the devil and been rode by witches” (6).
Page 281: He forgot about the 80,000 dollars he had received in cash, and played it off sarcastically to the jury. Page 282: He has no evidence to support his claim about trying to get a line-of-credit from Republic. Black called him a liar, and Schlessinger quickly objected. Page

His fingers become covered with a yellow stain and people think that he is hygienically unclean.

How does Shakespeare craft the character’s tone of voice in order to encourage the characters tone of voice? Through Shakespeare’s play Macbeth (a bloodthirsty tale of ambition) and Merchant of Venice (comedy and near tragedy) Shakespeare crafts the characters tone of voice by many techniques such as their dialogues. Merchant and Venice was written in 1596 or 1567, it is set in Venice’s Italian setting and marriage plot and Shakespeare first great heroine and the unforgettable villain Shylock elevate this play to a new level. The basic plot outline with the characters of the merchant, poor suitor, fair lady and a villainous Jew. Jews in Shakespeare’s England would have been familiar with portrayals of Jews as villains and main source of mockery.
She never told him of this loan and has been secretly paying it back in small installments by saving from her household allowance. Her husband, Torvald, thinks she is careless and childlike, and often calls her his doll or squirrel and such names. When he is appointed bank director, he fires a man that he finds disgraced the bank some time ago. This man, Nils Krogstad, is the person that Nora borrowed money from. Then it’s revealed that she forged her father's signature in order to get the money.
Both the characters are portrayed as being greedy and selfish people, especially the Pardoner. Selling pardons was seen as one of the most bitterly criticised religious practices in the fourteenth century. By selling the pardons he is effectively building up a bank balance against his sins spiritually. For the sins to still be forgiven, he would have had to go and confess to a priest. Even though he gets “moore moneye than that the person gat in monthes tweye” he still lies about his relics to receive even more money.
The argument starts when the family starts getting deeper in debt due to a dry spell in Evelyn’s winnings. During the fight, Evelyn scolds Kelly about drinking. “The contest wins can’t replace the money you make from working, Dad.” This comment angers Kelly, saying that Evelyn has no right to judge him because the only thing she does all day is clean and write in her “stupid notebooks” (168). Evelyn shoots back saying that without her contest winnings, they’d be in debtor’s prison. This comment further angers Kelly, and he, being drunk enough to not realize his own strength or actually register what he is doing, pushes Evelyn in a fit of anger.
Both of these characters’ greed and lack of communication is what ultimately lead to the failure of their plans for a quick buck. Jerry is in quite the financial situation due to undisclosed issues, and is in need of a healthy sum to get out of his rut. Since he is already in a heaping amount of debt and his greed leads him to want it quick and easy, but he sees no way of doing that legally. As a lowly car salesman, “he assumes the pose of criminal mastermind, a mismatch that initiates a series of violent acts” (Gaughran 232). Since Jerry really has no idea what he’s doing, he foolishly leaves it in the hands of the two hit men to take care of it.
