Some people, like Simon, understand this concept and he says: ‘Maybe there is a beast... maybe it’s only us.’ Other people, like Ralph, do not want to believe that there is a dark side to humanity and in Chapter 2 he constantly shouts: ‘but there isn’t a beast!’ Golding successfully gets across his message that there’s ‘darkness in man’s heart’ by the frightening way he describes several events in the book. The killing of the mother sow is an extremely shocking event in the novel. When it describes that ‘the great bladder of her belly was fringed with a row of piglets’ it shows how savage the boys have become and how much they have changed, especially Jack, because at the beginning of the novel he had difficulty killing the piglet because of ‘the enormity of the knife descending and cutting in to living flesh’ and now ‘practice had made Jack silent as the shadows.’ The quote ‘wedded to her in lust’ shows us that they specifically want the female pig and won’t rest until they have her. The scene is extremely graphic and the notion of what they are doing is terrifying. The fact that the pig went from being ‘in maternal bliss’ to ‘dim-eyed and grinning faintly’ is also terrifying, because they took something innocent and turned it into something wicked, which is essentially what happened to them.
We dredged him up, for killed, until he whined "O sir, my eyes — I'm blind — I'm blind, I'm blind!" Coaxing, I held a flame against his lids And said if he could see the least blurred light He was not blind; in time he'd get all right. "I can't," he sobbed. Eyeballs, huge-bulged like squids Watch my dreams still; but I forgot him there In posting next for duty, and sending a scout To beg a stretcher somewhere, and floundering about To other posts under the shrieking air. Those other wretches, how they bled and spewed, And one who would have drowned himself for good, — I try not to remember these things now.
“It tasted nevertheless like sin. He tried to name which of the deadly seven might apply, and when he failed he decided to append an eighth, regret.”(356) when Inman calls his action a deadly sin, Frazier reveals quite plainly that Inman cannot live. The “vow to bear,” now represents both the literal death of the cub and the regret that Inman now feels. Throughout the rest
And brother Dick, the father's favorite, pretended to throw up when Quoyle came into a room, hissed, “Lardass, Snotface, Ugly Pig, Warthog, Stupid, Stinkbomb, Fart-tub, Greasebag,” pummeled and kicked until Quoyle curled. Hands over head, sniveling, on the linoleum. All stemmed from Quoyle's chief failure, a failure of normal appearance. (pg.2) Quoyle was a
It’s the kind of dream that wakes you try and stay awake after, because you know it’s waiting there for you behind your closed eyelids. (McNamee 11) This quote illustrates that Duncan is uncomfortable with what happened. The nightmares of the drowning girl keeps coming back to him because he did not save her. Just like Duncan, in The Penance, Octavia feels uncomfortable because of what he has done. He killed the three children’s cat because Octavia thought the cat was eating the chickens.
Sneezing and loud barking interrupts my prayers and I hear the soldiers shout something in a foreign language, that I don’t understand, and march away. We stay frozen until we are sure that the Nazi soldiers are gone. As we get out of the hiding place I scrape my arm, once again on the very same pebble. Darn, I think to myself as I inspect the scratch that is on my elbow. Well, it is not that bad.
He doesn’t care about his arm and that’s why they are hanging next to him. It coul also show lennies extreme strenght, which i soften decribed later on in the novel.

Trinculo takes a closer look, and observes that he is ‘legged like a man’ with ‘fins like arms’, so ha concludes that he must be ‘an islander that hath lately suffered by a thunderbolt’. This suggests that he looks deformed, and ill. Staphano also thinks that caliban is a diseased monster because is ‘a monster of this isle who hath, is i take it, got an ague’. Caliban behaves negatively, but also positively. In the negative aspect of his behaviour, when he’s angry he curses Prospero using aspects of nature which means that he must be a spirit of the earth such as ‘toads, bats, beetles, light on you’ and also ‘blister you all over’ and ‘the red plague rid you’. He is not only violent in his speech, but in his actions.
After Benvolio was teasing Fausutus from his window(because Benvolio was hungover after celebrating Bruno's return).
