He eventually got so fed up with this that he died his hair purple “I just wanted everyone to call me something else” (316). This idea did not pan out the way that he wanted it too and everyone began to call him “The Purple Flee”. Finally, he had enough with the bullying all together and decided to skip town, to get away from everything that was bothering him. Arturo finds himself at the town church and befriends the church custodian named Johann. At first Arturo did not know what to think of Johann “Right then I started worrying about being locked up in a empty church with the old guy” (315).
Meursault’s detached personality is first shown when he showed no emotion at his mother’s funeral and how he did not know his mother’s age: “I [Meursault] hadn’t wanted to see mother, hadn’t cried once and I’d left straight after the funeral without paying my respects at her grave.” (86). Meursault does not meet society’s expectation because he was different from the rest of society. He is expected to cry and show his respects but he does the exact opposite. A normal man would be devastated by the loss of his mother and suffer from sadness and despair; however, Meursault does not even care much about the date she passed away. “Mother died today or yesterday maybe, I don’t know.” (3) Another point is that shortly after the funeral, Meursault is reacquainted with a typist who used to work at the office with him.
After this Ellie doesn’t show any gratitude or respect to his god, this is clearly evident in Yom Kippur. This however places a void within Ellies heart. It’s this void that he struggles with throughout the novel and makes him feel rather “empty” and “alone”. It’s through this we see he can’t really come to terms with excluding God from his life. With this parts of his
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens Ebenezer Scrooge has one love, money. He loathes all things that bring cheer and happiness to others, so naturally, he despises the whole Christmas season. One Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by a deceased friend and partner, Jacob Marley. Marley has been dead for seven years and was just as selfish as Scrooge. As punishment his spirit is now forced to wander the Earth in chains, and he has come to warn Scrooge that the same fate waits him if he keeps living the way he has been.
Proctor believed that God has left the church and Proctor shows his hate and distrust of Reverend Paris when he says, “I come five miles to hear him preach only hellfire and bloody damnation. Take it to heart Mr Parris. There are many others who stay away from church these days because you hardly ever mention God any more.” Proctor chooses not to belong to Salem because he “sinned” with Parris’s niece Abigail Williams, and this causes him to see himself as a hypocrite and not worthy to belong to the Salem community. Danforth’s behavior and attitudes in the court exclude Proctor from conforming to the court and led Proctor to tell the court that Abigail told him that the events in “the woods” were “sport” but court quickly turned on him and sees him as an enemy
It doesn’t say if they ever started a life together or not, but for the rest of the poem it does not matter. It establishes an intense feeling about love with a connection. In the next verse he hitch hikes in the rain, paying his dues to reach east coast, and introduces the title line “Tangled up in blues”. “And I was standin' on the side of the road / Rain fallin' on my shoes / Heading out for the East Coast / Lord knows I've paid some dues gettin' through, / Tangled up in blue.” This is probably directly about Dylan and the hard work it took to get started in his career. I think the idea of the line “Tangled up in blues” pays homage the blues music and the story behind blues songs.
Arriving late at the bazaar, he notices that “nearly all the stalls were closed and the greater part of the hall was in darkness” and also recognises, “a silence like that which pervades a church after service” (Joyce 114). The fact that the bazaar is almost closed and empty, means he will not be able to buy something for the girl he is infatuated with. More so, he could not buy an appropriate gift for the girl from the stalls that were still open because he didn’t have enough money. Thus, his disappointment begins as the bazaar wasn’t exotic and had no aspect of an “Eastern enchantment” (Joyce 112) as he had imagined. As the narrator continues to move around visiting the bazaar, moving from one of the stalls still opened to the next, his state of disappointment increases.
