However, this is justified by the society he lives in. Winston has no friends if he can help it, and avoids anyone who attempts to be friendly or talk with him, because of his constant caution of the thoughtpolice. He is also a physical wreck, and his health constantly gives him pain. However, his anti-social behaviour and his physical condition can both be thanks to the society and the party governing Oceania. Winston avoids any form of social interaction, making him unpopular amongst his “comrades.” He attempts to keep clear of anybody who talks to him.
Complication Bartleby "gives up" work and is fired…sort of. Eventually, Bartleby just stops working at all. This gives the Narrator reason to fire him, which he attempts to do. However, Bartleby prefers not to leave the building, and continues to live there, which understandably creeps out clients and visitors. Again, Bartleby's motives are totally obscure.
When Victor's creation was made he says, "'When I looked around I saw and heard of none like me. Was I, the, a monster, a blot upon the earth from which all men fled and whom all men disowned?'" (105). It would not have taken much to help his creation but since he was afraid of causing problems he ended up causing a bigger
Mr Birling’s, who showed no sorrow or sympathy for a former employee's death, was ruthless in dismissing her after the strike. Accusing her of being a ringleader. Reinstating all the other employees, except her, must have been very demoralising to Ms Smith. Moreover, Mr Croft, showed nor compassion or sympathy for a former lover, despite the fact that he claimed they had separated on amicable terms. I believe that he lying and that he left this woman in a state of distress that contributed to her state of mind when she committed suicide.
He goes against his society’s highly stressed value of having a strong work ethic. This routine of refusing to work continues throughout the reading, showing that Bartleby is willing to stick to his principals. By not following the instructions to work, he is not conforming to society’s valued ideal of work schedules, showing signs of rebellion. Society believes in the routine of working everyday simply because a person is told to do so. An employee is expected to do their job when they are given tasks required of them.
The lawyer’s problem stems from the fact that he doesn’t know how to deal with and eventually get rid of Bartleby. The issue is not ignorance but confrontation between the lawyer and Bartleby. Delano on the other hand, succumbed to his well-natured obliviousness and overlooks clues of a mutiny right under his nose. However, because of his social conditioning leading him to believe that these events could not possibly occur, even though they crossed his mind, he nearly leads himself and his entire crew to their demise. Captain Delano can be shortly described as “a person of a singularly undistrustful good nature” (2695).
“I am not what you call a civilized man! I have done with society entirely, for reasons which I alone have the right of appreciating. I do not, therefore, obey its laws, and I desire you never to allude to them before me again!" Captain Nemo has been hurt in his life many times and one of the main situations that deeply affect him is the loss of his family. He has turned his back on the mankind because he feels that everyone has evil in them that the world could live without.
By the end, he had become a tyrant and his people turned against him. His view of reality also became distorted and he only saw the positive side of everything. This bad judgment leads him to make bad decisions. The bad decisions that he made resulted in his defeat and unsightly death. His constant ambition made him become involved with only himself and he didn’t take other people into consideration so he eventually lost everyone close to him and his friends.
Peter shows how he hates work, so the key to his happiness is just not going. Although he Peter was all for his own happiness, Milton began to think in a similar further into the film. This caused the two characters to butt heads. Milton told Peter he would not turn down his radio volume, basically just because it made him happy. A line from Self Reliance by Emerson tells that “their rage is decorous and prudent, for they are timid, as being vulnerable themselves.” Milton’s lack of timidity helped him gain his personal happiness therefore exemplifying transcendentalism.
For instance, there were occasions when he reprimanded the workers right on the spot because they made a mistake. Clearly, Phil showed no remorse as he would lay off workers rather than assign them to another task. 2. Which leader do you think is more effective? Why?
