Jensen has the range and subtlety to play a complex, multi-layered character with seeming ease, allowing us to share in Dean's pain, anger and happiness. Dean Winchester is flawed and that makes him perfect. He can be obnoxious, pushy, close-minded, and bullheaded. But, he can also be brave, fiercely protective, compassionate and steadfast. He can be both incredibly selfless and incredibly selfish, sometimes in the same breath.
A key character in the story is Mr. Darcy, both a source of conflict and a love interest for the character who may well have been based on Jane Austin herself Elizabeth Bennet. In this prose study I will be answering the question is Mr. Darcy really the “most proud and disagreeable man in the world” and if he is as he first appears, appropriate given the original name of the book “First Impressions”. In the opening section Mr Darcy is presented as an arrogant and shallow person. This is made clear in such instances as “she is tolerable but not handsome enough to temp me”. This shows Darcy as an uncaring, that he holds himself in high regard and seems insensitive.
First of all, the Grandmother is probably the worst character of all. Maybe even worse than the Misfit himself. The first thing we see in the story is that she does not want her son Bailey to go to Florida with the family because she has people to see in Tennessee. Whenever things are not going the way she wants them to, she tries anything she can to have it her way. She does this quite indirectly.
If the grandmother stopped preaching about how the new world has fallen from the Christian faith, and opened her eyes to her real life, she would have saved the whole family from the misfit. Garo 2 The grandmother’s son, Bailey, seemed exhausted of having to take care of his own mother. He doesn’t bother raising his head when his mother is trying to get him to read the paper about “the misfit.” This creates Foreshadowing and a bit of irony to the story because in the end the misfit is what brings him and his family to his demise. Not only does he ignore his mother, but when she wants to take the children to see the old plantation, he sighs, gets aggravated and didn’t want to be bothered. Although her tired son may have a good soul, he is not a good man in the sense he seems tired and lifeless in the story.
She has to go everywhere we go.” When John Wesley was asked by the grandmother what he would do if confronted by the Misfit his reply was, “I’d smack his face.” But in the end we find this to be very untrue. The Misfit’s character is again the result of the breakdown in humanity, family values and all of the values that have been lost in today’s culture. The Misfit may have some social graces because he responds respectfully and apologizes to the grandmother for Bailey’s harsh comment, but there is some uneasiness about the morals his own father had as a role model. There is a hint that the Misfit’s father had a darker side and had some run-ins with the authorities. The Misfit explained to the grandmother, “Daddy was a card himself.
Through George’s wall of condescension and sarcasm you find out that there is deep love for Lennie within him. George spends a majority of the novel cleaning up Lennie’s “messes” and scheming for a better future for the two. Truthfully Lennie is the jewel of the crown with characterization. His child-like demeanor and actions provide amusing situations which help you to connect with him. Soon you begin to understand the gravity of his disabilities, and you worry for his well- being as he has a hard time taking care of himself.
The elusive maze of Flannery O’Connor In A Good Man is Hard To Find Flannery O’Connor expresses the many ideas and logic which touches many controversial issues through subtle meanings and symbols. Every word said, and action taken is a puzzle piece to the different meanings, theme, and motifs a reader is able to derive from her writing. Although the story begins with a different mood and setting, everything dramatically changes and what emerges is a mystery wrapped in a whole different perspective in the characters. The Misfit who’s later introduced in the story describes the grandmother as, “She would have been a good woman if there had been somebody to shoot her every minute of her life” (O’Connor 413). A good man may be hard to find, but a good woman is also hard to find.
Religion is something that has been losing its strength throughout the years. In the story A Good Man Is Hard To Find this idea is very important. While the main character tries to use religion to save herself, the antagonist questions it. The first character in the store is the grandmother. She is an annoying woman who comes off immediately as selfish and uncaring of other people and their own desires.
Jamiel Pittman Professor Williams English 111 FE 30 October 2013 In this paper I will draw the parallels of good villains and bad villains. Often we characterize the “bad guys” as characters whom are not liked and not appreciated. However they are more likely to be more interesting than the heroes or “good guys”. I believe “bad guys” make stories more intriguing for a bunch of reasons. The idea of incorporating a fictitious character in a story that goes to great lengths to be “destructive” is always suspenseful.
The grandmother was not only the character to introduce the Misfit in the beginning, but she was also the reason the entire accident happened. She was the one that snuck the cat into the car, which was the cause of the whole accident. Not only that, but she told Bailey to turn around and go down the dirt road, which was inaccurate. Once she realized that she thought she was in Tennessee, she disturbed the cat at her feet which sprung out of its hiding place and caused Bailey to crash the car. After the crash, the word “accident” was emphasized with capital letters as the children screamed it over and
