This lends itself to you because there is a lot of evidence to substantiate this point. For example Slim “moves with a majesty only achieved by royalty and master craftsmen” (page 55). Though we understand the respect for Slim goes unsaid, the verb ‘moves’ is visual rather than auditory. Even the way Slim moves subconsciously gains him respect through the paralanguage by which he communicates. Likewise, the character of Curley relies heavily (more so, some would argue) on body language.
The literary consequence in Oliver Twist is a sphere of coherent, but cryptic, delinquency, whose structures are open not only to investigation but also to interpretation. In fact, ever since the first serial installments of the novel in 1837, an interpretive structuring of criminality has imposed itself upon the mysteries of early Victorian vice which Dickens only vaguely described. In the preface of 1841 Dickens met the moral objections of readers with a defiant statement of his characters' precise criminal roles: "It is, it seems, a very coarse and shocking circumstance, that some of the characters in these pages are chosen from the most criminal and degraded of London's population; that Sikes is a thief, and Fagin a receiver of stolen goods; that the boys are pickpockets, and the girl is a prostitute." This last identification--"the girl is a prostitute"--was hardly news, but it was nevertheless something new, for Dickens, as he went on to explain in the preface of 1841, had avoided naming Nancy's profession in the novel itself, and had indeed left intentionally imprecise the general representation of criminality: No less consulting my own taste, than the manners of the age, I endeavoured, while
Understanding the most important characters in the book “Of Mice and Men” If you wish to understand the most important characters in the book, then you must first determine which characters are the most important ones. Ask anyone and they will most certainly reply with “Lennie and George!” If you singled out these two characters, and tried to put them in a book all by themselves, you would quickly realise that the writing process would run into a devilish loop. I believe that a writer does not, especially in a book like this, place people for filling. If you want to understand Lennie and George, you must first understand their background. It is not spoken of much, but centred in Lennie’s life is the aunt, Clara.
There is many men and creatures in the lovely tale of the Golden Compass, however, there is only two in which Lyra is fascinated with. In the way that one is her real father of whom she never knew was, and there is the passoinate father to her, who is loving and caring towards her. These are examples of contrast between the two of Lyra's father figures. The likenesses between them are in different ways intriguing........... Where Lord Asriel is strong in the way that he is a role with lots of power and is highly respected, Iorek is physically strong, and has capability to do many things a only a very high fitness level could achieve , he is also strong inside,in the way that he has the strength to go on through tough situations,for example,when he lost Lyra when she fell out of and give it all in battles; he is mentally strong. Lord Asriel may be strong,and Iorek may be too,but none can compare to how brave and strong Lyra was in this heartwarming tale.
Despite the fact Lennie is at risk of Curley’s temper, he is still shown to have power over Curley as even though Curley is the boss’s son and has authority over the ranch workers Lennie is still stronger and can control him physically. Steinbeck uses this to emphasise the cliché ‘Don’t judge a book by its cover’. Steinbeck explores the idea
3. Candy and Slim are minor but very different characters. Discuss why Steinbeck has included them in “Of Mice and Men”, both in terms of the role they play in the plot of the story and in what Steinbeck has to say about human nature through them. 4. Discuss, with quotations and close reference, how Steinbeck uses language, both spoken and descriptive, to create a variety of effects in “Of Mice and Men”.
In Brighton Rock Greene uses the setting of the novel to explore various wider themes and to make implications, often revealing his own beliefs as, perhaps clumsily, he interrupts the fictional events on occasion. Therefore, it could be argued that Greene uses the fictional landscape as a way of commenting on the social and political events of the time; the 1930s, where social injustice, poverty, distinct divides in wealth, and criminality were rife. This can be seen as early as the first chapter, where the setting explores the theme of artificiality. Hale’s “inky fingers and his bitten nails” convey that “anybody could tell he didn’t belong”. Therefore, Hale is contrasted to the “glittering air” and “the silver paint [that] sparkled”, which have connotations of tackiness, and polishing over the truth with artificial objects.
Yet the reality of it is that this man is a king of great power whom they will soon bow down to. Another example of how characters can be perceived throughout the novel is shown throughout the journey of the main protagonist, he was also perceived by his appearance as a small, witless, futile and incapable to carry the great burden before him. Yet as the novel heads towards its crucial climax, he completes the task that many people perceive as impossible for him and rose to be the only one capable of such a task. Another Internal representation of perception is a main character who is perceived as a vile and psycho creature. It is later on shown that the story of this creature is a sad one and he is not at all what he is perceived to be.
The purpose of this essay is to demonstrate how both Poe and Melville seem to be commenting on the futility of trying to suppress a violent history, which is largely dependent on slavery. The narrator of “The Black Cat” continually suppresses his guilt over his wrong-doings and continually reburies his past. For example, the morning after initially abusing Pluto, the narrator has a feeling “half of horror, half of remorse, for the crime of which I had been guilty” (Poe 2522). However, this feeling is “feeble and equivocal” and his remorse “soon gave way to irritation” (2522). The narrator also attempts to rationalize the strangeness that befalls him.
