The Choragus’s unbiased suggestions and wise tactics added dramatic irony to the story. If the Choragus was not a character in the plot, I feel that the dramatic irony would have been less effective. Along with the chorus, the Choragus is like a sports commentator: he describes events and is an expert of a certain topic. The Choragus adds dramatic irony because he reveals information that helps the audience understand a few situations between other characters. He also ties loose ends.
The choices she makes throughout are frequently wrong, although her intentions are correct and honest. Her biggest mistake is her sympathy for Mickey after his accident and her decision to help in his rehabilitation. She had escaped the trap, and then foolishly stepped back in, even without her firm decision not to remarry. This essential point is misunderstood by some viewers, who do not realize that Francine and Mickey are divorced during the last half of the flashback. Technically, Mickey’s attacks are not spouse abuse, but straightforward assault and battery.
Even though Ismene didn’t help out with the crime she still wanted to risk her life for Antigone, but she wouldn’t let her because she didn’t do the work. Antigone wants to die for the right reason, that she did something right for someone else. But since Ismene didn’t do any of the crime she didn’t want her to die because she did something wrong. Antigone wanted Ismene to live and she descried to live she didn’t do anything wrong. I think Ismene changed her mid because Antigone is her sister and you always stand up for family.
Atticus considers her one of the bravest people he knows and he wanted Jem to see that about her. The composer has written it in a way that the responder has automatic dislike for the character, but still knows she’s a good person. In conclusion, the novel To Kill a Mockingbird has many elements of misjudgement, false facades, and bad first impressions and can relate strongly back to the theme of people aren’t what they seem to be. The saying, “don’t judge a book by its cover” is a good example of the ideology of this book, to give people a first impression, then only to have the responders understanding of that person let down because of the learnt development of that character In the
In a world full of hatred and crime, people often look towards the light. In A Good Man Is Hard to Find, such light is shed from the characters as they try and claim values about themselves that don’t seem all but there. Through some confusion within morals standards, the grandmother seems to contradict herself with the other characters in the story, and vise-versa. Moral revelations are depicted through the greater good, grace and the God-forgiven values. This proves true throughout the story as the “good man” is sought for.
Eva is perplexed about the whole situation; how is she safe with complete strangers? As a mother it is their duty to protect and care for their children, which was exactly what Helga wanted, she’d rather risk her life than her own daughter’s. Eva however doesn’t take note of that, and just thinks her mother doesn’t love her; that she’s abandoning her. Also, if Helga hadn’t sent her daughter away, then Eva probably wouldn’t have survived figuring that her own father didn’t. Eva was the reason why Helga held on for so long, and never gave up.
With his examples, he automatically proves that he is credible and is experienced enough to speak on the subject. It’s important for a writer to use this type of technique, especially when speaking on a controversial subject, because it will make the reader assume he is talking with no sense, and they will more than likely stop reading. Also, Wolfson continues through his writing using sources periodically, and documenting them on the bottom of the page. This is the most simplistic way of proving to the reader that his sources are credible. Wolfson does a superior job of showing credibility, but he does an even better job at appealing to the reader’s emotions.
In Year of Wonders Anna Frith is presented as “too good to be true”, she may be seen as a courageous and honorable character, but Anna, like everyone, has her flaws and is thus a believable and realistic character. Anna fears risks of situations, experiences jealousy and desire, turns to the wrong solution for her grief, and questions her faith throughout the novel. Anna acts bravely and risks her life in unfamiliar situations though she still fears the risks. This is demonstrated when Anna helps birth Mary Daniel’s baby as the Gowdies are gone and Randall Daniel had no one to turn to so he went to Mrs. Mompellion. Mrs Mompellion had never conceived a child herself so it was up to Anna as she had the most experience out of the two.
Knowing that he could have been less obstinate and changed his assessment of power would have prevented Creon's son and wife from dying the way they did. Although Antigone was also persistent in not changing her own viewpoints, this worked in her favor because she was stubborn for a better reason than Creon. She stood up for her family because she knew it was the right thing to do. Creon did not show that he cared about anything but his own appearance for the fear that he will be observed as weak, until it was too late. By comparing and contrasting the characters of Creon and Antigone, one can assume that a lesson to be learnt from reading this play is that one should do what they believe is right based on their values and not concentrate on the thoughts of those who aren't important to him or
