John didn’t want to be named a liar, he admitted to committing adultery, and the last thing he wanted was his name nailed on the church’s wall because he signed a lie. John Proctor sacrificed his soul because he knew he couldn’t have another name. “Because it is my name. Because I cannot have another in my life, because I lie and sign my name to lies! Because I am not worth the dust on the feet of those that hang!
It is quite ironic how the original Thane of Cawdor was a traitor and now Macbeth follows down the same path. Furthermore, Macbeth feels regretful since he knows he can never get rid of this sin. If others identify Macbeth’s sin, he will be frowned upon and punished. Macbeth questions “will all great Neptune’s ocean wash this blood/ Clean for my hand?” (2.2.63, 64). Macbeth believes that there is no amount of water that can cleanse his sin.
Since the time Francis Galton coined the term “Nature vs. Nurture” there has been theories and debates about each side. The debate is focused around the determining or causing factors of the differences in physical and behavioral traits within a human. Nature takes the role of the individual’s innate qualities while nurture bases itself upon personal experiences. Romantic literature is characterized by an emphasis on emotion, passion, and the natural world and gothic novels liked to play with the dark side of human nature and frailty. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein shows elements of both aforementioned and woefully shows humans in nature and human nature.
To the High Councils it is a symbol of defiance, that someone would go against society and brothers to learn from the "Unmentionable Times". The theme of "Anthem" is individualism because in this future there is no independence or values to a single person. An individual doesn't even have a name, they are recognized by numbers. This fits the quote because Equality stand up against higher power to gain knowledge, a name and puts value on his life and others. "It is a sin to write this.
He knows that discrimination is wrong and he should not take part in it. He smuggles Moe out of Strawberry because he knew that Statler started it. He was forced into it and did not want to. Jeremy was trying to do the right thing and protect Moe. Q2.
He is totally selfish because only him feel pleasure about having affair with Abigail. “Abby, I may think of you softly from time to time. But I will cut off my hand before I’ll ever reach for you again.” (Miller, 23) John says this to Abigail because it is the way that John can try to get through and end the relationship between them. John Proctor is coward because his behaviour does not match his words. He said that he does not want to reach Abigail anymore but he keeps talking to her.
In performing the ritual of throwing the flowers into the river, it releases Mark of the overabundance of unhealthy guilt. The flowers transform from a thing of trepidation to an icon of beauty. While still at Kurdistan, Mark undergoes a survivors’ guilt as he deems himself liable to the hastening colin’s death, feeling responsible to both Colin and his wife. This guilt further intensifies as fails to bring Colin’s body home. In a life lesson taught by Talzani, Mark has to learn to ‘forget the dead’ and ‘turn away from the past’, to realize that he is not responsible for the death of his friend and failing to bring his body back.
I should be damned for persuading men to lie. And Goody Nurse, ohh bless such a good soul. I could not bear to see such a pure person be hanged.

It was indeed a paradise, compared to the bleak forest, my former residence, the rain-dropping branches and dank earth”, I had a thought that the monster is too frustrated and timid at the reactions of people and already withdrew his hospitality from the attacks of human beings. But in this way, he would not be able to be integrated in the human society. He must be more dignified at himself and making some different approaches towards people although they might throw stones at his appearance. Another characteristic that I would like to write about is the monster’s lack of self-esteem. We have talked about a similar topic in class on why the monster was isolated from the society, and while the discussion I thought that it was the monster’s lack of self-esteem that eventually caused his exile from the society.
