I couldn’t imagine devoting most of my life to building a dome. I was amazed he never quit with all the mishaps that happened with the marble and just after working on it for so long that that was all he did eat sleep and breath the dome. Filippo was very cunning and funny with all the pranks he played on people. For instance his greatest rival was Lorenzo Ghiberti and they had to work together on the dome and to prove he was superior to him, Filippo pretended to be dying so Lorenzo had to be in charge of the project. Once Lorenzo messed up Filippo came back and fixed everything and embarrassed
The man behind the scissors? (Literally). You couldn’t call him a man, the creative creature who performs these sculptures is the ugliest thing around, with the only ability to make everything pretty except himself, so it proves Tim Burton really did portray his own self image in Edward. However, if you ‘snip’ away those hideous looks, inside his metal heart is the warmest thing in the town and its almost impossible for you not to fall for this man made monster. A lot of Burton’s
The first ruler that Herodotus talks about is Candaules. Candaules thought that his wife was the most beautiful woman in all of his land, though he had no way to prove it he greatly wanted to. He told one of his servants Gyges to hide behind a door and wait for her to take her clothes off. (34) Candaules and Gyges thought that they could easily get away with it, but what they did not know was that Herodotus’s wife was aware that he was there the whole time. So later when she informed Gyges that she had known all along and that she wanted some sort of redemption for what they had done.
I determined during my second reading that Isis was going to be the one who was “the light”. She gave off so much positive energy and people wanted to cheer her on through it. She was considered to be “the joyful” because she was just that; joyful. Even if her grandmother was incredibly strict she still found a way to have a good time. She was naïve to the ways of the world because she immediately trusted white people.
She showed nobility when she kissed the woman’s baby to make her happy and disregarded Redival’s negative criticism. She showed nobility when she stopped at no cost to nurse the Fox back to health. She showed nobility when she discussed the plan to free the Fox with Orual. Psyche rarely showed anger and she always tried to help others throughout the novel. She always loved and respected people for their inner beauty like the Fox and especially Orual, whereas others would judge them by their physical appearance.
Acheron loved Artemis so much that he was willing to allow her dark side to inflict scars emotionally and internally, which is extremely saddening. When diamonds were first proclaimed to be beautiful, everyone felt a need of entitlement. When a woman or man is deemed beautiful there is no stopping that onlooker that feels eligible to be near him or her. There is a thin line between love and obsession and I believe beauty is a significant factor in the comparison. Beauty does not have to be physical at all it can be spiritually.
Even though Penelope has no powers or immortality she still holds true to what she believes and is patiently awaiting for her husbands return. Another characteristic I admire about Penelope is her cleverness and intelligence, which is why her and Odysseus are alike for he is known for his cleverness as well. When Athena disguises Odysseus as a beggar and he brings himself to Penelope, she questions him at first. Penelope declares a competition stating, “Now, I mean to announce a contest with those axes, the ones he would often line up inside the hall, twelve in a straight unbroken like blocks to store a keel, then stand well back and whip an arrow through the lot”(510). Finally after Odysseus wins she still questions and then one last time thinks of a clever way to make sure this man is not an imposter and then tests Odysseus another time by calling

While still married to Wilson, Myrtle does everything in her power to try and imitate the life she sees Tom and his friends living.
Various men pursued her, fought for her, and loved after her. Not a single soul could hate her, and if they did, it was out of pure envy. As far as importance goes, no other character could have come close to Daisy in The Great Gatsby. The greatest climax of the whole novel is when Daisy Buchanan meets up with the tragic hero Jay Gatsby. Without this climax there would have been no importance to the well-known
