Later in the poem, Hughes accuses his wife of abandoning her family. The repetition of “you” in the lines “unravelled your marriage, left your children echoing like tunnels in labyrinth, left your mother a dead-end” emphasises the immensely accusatory tone of the poem. These accusations in The Minotaur show that Hughes puts all blame for their failed marriage onto his wife, and is not taking any of the responsibility. Hughes’s view of Plath is a conflicting perspective to society’s view of the couple’s relationship. How Hughes portrays his conflicting perspective
The Madness that is Abigail Williams: Her Intentions in The Crucible “How hard it is when pretense falls! But it falls, it falls!” With these chilling and ominous words, Abigail’s twisted sense of revenge rings hollow in Arthur Miller’s terrifying play, The Crucible. A masterpiece of its time, The Crucible brings forth the true horrors man is capable of: deception and vengefulness. No character presents these values as well as Abigail, whose lust and heartbreak for John Proctor results in a homicidal goose chase. Because of her hate towards Proctor’s wife, Elizabeth, Abigail creates demented tales, directed at abolishing the “problem.” Though Abigail’s wild canards seem quite obtuse in civilization today, at the time her acts fell to justification.

Meva Tinsley Monson/Lovett Sophomore World Literature 4 May 2009 The Mystery of Disguise Although the movie 10 Things I Hate About You displays some deceptive moments, deception is the key motive in The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare. Both physically and emotionally, The Taming of the Shrew captivates deception within the mastery of disguise.

First Impressions of the Loman Family In Arthur Miller’s beloved American play ‘Death of a Salesman’, he presents the Loman family in one way, but uses subtle clues to give us, the audience, Miller’s direct interpretation of the characters. The first characters we are introduced to are the protagonist, Willy and his wife, Linda. From the start Miller portrays Willy as a struggling salesman, his last name being ‘Loman’ which is a homophone for ‘low man’. During Willy and Linda’s first exchange, we are introduced to her as a doting wife who cares deeply for her husband, but treats him in a slightly childish manner. She even goes as far as taking his shoes off for him.
One quintessential part of the plot deals with Hamlet’s struggling with his mother’s incestuous betrayal to his father until he finally confronts her, which is embodied in his dramatic monologue in Act 3 Scene IV. The reasoning behind why Hamlet gives this monologue is that he wants his mother, Gertrude, to see what crime and sin she has committed and to make her feel guilt for it.

Here is your husband; like a mildew’d ear” (Lines 63-4). This section clearly depicts Hamlet’s intent of trying to erect guilt in Gertrude by contrasting her former and present husbands.
