“Killing Dinner” caught my attention by the articles first sentence: “It’s quite something to go barehanded up through a chicken’s ass and dislodge its warm guts,” because it is so blunt therefore I knew the article would be interesting. Hamilton intended for her article to be read by all, but most likely to catch the attention of a man. Our society usually draws more to the saying men bring home the bacon. In this article she kills her own dinner and cooks it as well. In “Killing Dinner” the tone and diction is very dark because the matter of killing a chicken is not a pleasant experience.
Medea’s extreme emotional attachments can only be expressed through extreme measures. Circumstance causes her to fall in love with Jason, and when she does, he becomes the centre of her emotional universe — even when he spurns her and that love turns to hate, the man continues on as the zenith in her heart, the motivation behind her actions. When Jason takes another wife, Medea can no longer justify the wrongs she committed in the name of their love. The sheer force of her grief and remorse inspires her to ‘surrender to anguish’, and she gives voice to wretched lamentations that outline her vicious intent towards the royal house. Fearing that Medea will do ‘some irreparable harm to (his) daughter’, Creon banishes her from his land, setting in motion a chain of events that lead to the final tragedy of the play.
It was when he is wounded in flesh and bone after saving a young girl from destruction when the monster “vowed eternal hatred and vengeance to all mankind” (Shelley 143). His utter hideousness stands securely in the way of his deserved gratitude. Had the savior of this poor child been an attractive individual, there

Lancelot was guilty of treason to his friend, guilty of treason to the high king of England, and guilty of treason to himself. The major downfall of Lancelot was his immediate attraction to the worst person in the whole world to fall in love with: his best friend’s wife. Every free moment when Arthur wasn’t around, Lancelot and Guenever were doing something they shouldn’t have been doing Lancelot proclaims his continual love for Arthur: “He (Lancelot) had not buried his love for Arthur in his passion for Guenever…” (387). How can a honorable knight say that he has a passion for Arthur’s wife, while in the same breath saying that his love for Arthur has not been diluted by Guenever? Lancelot’s love for Guenever made him rethink his life; he needed to get away from
Who eligibly said his helicopter was shot down in the Iraq war. Remember this happened back in 2003, because of his pride and committing to the lie that burden has stuck with him and now the whole world knows he is a liar. I agree with the quote, because if a man that is successful at lying has too much pride, and won’t acknowledge when he is wrong. Which won’t allow one to learn from his mistake. During the play Creon, a noble King, imprisons a woman named Antigone.

Chapter ten The Leech And His Patient is about Chillingworth's "investigation" of Dimmesdale to clarify that he is the father of Pearl. Chillingwoth goes to extremes when he becomes "fiercely obsessed by his search into Dimmesdale's heart". When having a heated convesation with Dimmesdale, Chillingworth raises a question about "why a man would be willing to carry "secret sins" to his grave rather than confess them during his lifetime." Dimmesdale reminds Chillingworth that most men do not confess their sins and that they are rewarded peace. But Pearl shocks the men in this chapter when she and Hester show up and Pearl flicks a prickly bur and Dimmesdale.
Brigham Young once said, “Why do we worry about what others think of us, do we have more confidence in their opinions than we do our own?” One of the many stories in Tales From the Thousand and One Nights is “The Historic Fart, “ story about a man who lets out a loud fart on his wedding night. He is extremely ashamed and embarrassed, and runs off never to be seen again. This is a great example about how caught up people are in caring about what others think of them. Through the psychoanalytical approach we can see why people care what others think, how it relates to “The Historic Fart”, and how it is still prevalent in today’s culture. Everyone worries about what people think of them at some time or another, but why do we care so much?
