He discovers a lightbulb and re-discovers electricity. All of the actions are against the law. The light Equality restores has symbology to it.

At the beginning of the poem the Earl is presented to us using the adjective "grim" to create a negative figure within the story. Tennyson portrays how Godiva breaks free from the Earls control as she "unclasp'd the wedded eagles of her belt" and she frees herself from the stereotypical contrast. Tennyson contrasts the boldness of Godiva's actions as she "rode forth" with her weakness as the beginning of the poem, shown by Tennyson's reference to the Earl as "her Lord". Therefore she defies the odds and takes charge of what she had to do in order to get rid of the taxation for her people, which “built herself an everlasting name.” Godiva is presented as the property of the Earl who is powerless without him however Tennyson portrays a shift in the balance of authority. Tennyson also tells the story in Godiva through his use of time and form to highlight the greatness of Godiva as she “builds herself an everlasting name”.

In both myths, there is disobedience involved with regards to the release of these malicious forces, and the devious consequences that followed. It is most often believed that Prometheus was the creator of humanity from primeval earth and water. He taught mortals all the human arts and was their protector. Prometheus would sacrifice himself when stealing fire back for man in order for mankind to be civilised. (fire is often associated with civilisation).
Zeus took pity of the King and gave him, as recompense for his son, brisk trotting horses, the kind which carry the gods. Zeus also ordered Hermes to explain everything, including the fact that Ganymede would be immortal and would never grow old. When Tros heard this message from Zeus, he stopped mourning and he rejoiced within his heart. The relationship between Ganymede and Zeus is disturbing in todays society for several reasons. The first reason for this is the blatant promiscuity of Zeus.
Ironically she is created as the inferior and less intelligent sex but she is the character who is most tested and is faced with the hardest challenge. Eventually she takes the fall for all of mankind. Before the fall Eve appears as totally dependent on Adam and she is willingly being submissive to him, she actually prefers to only get her knowledge from him. But is Eve really as naïve as she appears to be in Chapter four? Or is she simply playing the role and dumbing herself down purposefully as women throughout history (and even currently) have done to appease her man?

At a young age, Jane’s parents died and left her in the care of her Uncle Reed, the brother of Jane’s mother. Jane’s mother was hated by almost everyone of her family, other than her dear brother, because of her marriage to a poor man by the name of Eyre.

Afterwards, Jane received only the worst, most pernicious treatment possible from Mrs. Reed, her daughters Georgiana and Eliza, and her son, John.
