Another reason would be to show how Penelope is loyal to Odysseus while he’s away for so long, it shows how the women were loyal to their men if they loved him. It makes the audience/reader wonder whether Odysseus will be loyal while he is away. She could’ve be mischievous but she isn’t because this was expected of her to her be loyal, however Agamemnon’s wife was not faithful when he was away and killed Agamemnon, this story is shown to show the reader Penelope is a good character and Odysseus must be special and the love of her life if she’s been so loyal. You can see how Odysseus is the head of the house (Kyrios) and should control Xenia but because he is not in the home, the suitors take control. Another reason would be to show display crime and punishment.

English 2030 March 27, 2013 Reading Review Flannery O’Connor’s “A Good Man Is Hard To Find.” In Flannery O’Connor’s “A Good Man Is Hard To Find” the grandmother equates that a man is a “good man” if his values are the same as her own. The barbeque owner Red Sammy is “good” because he trusts people blindly by letting them charge gas and is also nostalgic about more innocent times because both of are moral characteristics the grandmother can relate to. The Misfit is “good” because he won’t shoot a lady because that would be in line with her own moral code. Her notion proves to be false and the only thing “good” about the Misfit is his consistency in living out his moral code of “no pleasure but meanness.” The Grandmother is confident

Chaucer saw this in people and knew that a person couldn’t be classified as good or evil because we are a mixture of both. He presented this very strongly in the way that he presented his pilgrims. He showed, for many of the pilgrims, that they had good intentions, such as the Pardoner. At the same time, he wasn’t afraid to show their evil side. The Pardoner is a prime example of his presentation of humans because he showed that he had good intentions, to help people and to pardon their sins, but he also had his evil side, which was to tell people that they have sinned simply to earn himself a few extra coins.
"(376) The grandmother is talking about how the misfit is a good person, yet she knows nothing about the man except the fact he is a criminal and a murderer. The Misfit’s morals are completely different from the grandmothers. The Misfit will always stand by what he believes regardless of the situation. The Misfit believes that the outcome of anything is what he creates. When the Misfit says "Yes'm," smiling slightly as if he were pleased in spite of himself to be known, "but it would have been better for all of you, lady, if you hadn't of reckernized me."
He had a chance to tell the town, and the court, that Abigail’s claims were false. Nevertheless, Proctor did not open his mouth.

Tom Robinson and Zach Taylor are both mature and understand their status in the caste system. Both the characters are careful about what they say and do to make sure they don’t cross the boundaries set by racism, because they know that society thinks that whites are better than blacks. “Lily, I like you better than any girl I’ve ever known, but you have to understand, there are people who would kill a boy like me for even looking at a girl like you,” (Kidd, 135). Zach says this when he tells Lily that he likes her, but he is wise and understands that he could get killed for even looking at her. “Why were you scared?” “Mr.
It is meant to be entertaining and fun as opposed to encouraging rape, which some critics think. Although it does not encourage rape, it is still somewhat degrading to women in some aspects that will be discussed later in the analysis. In the first verse Thicke is saying that he does not understand why the girl can’t comprehend that he wants to get with her, so he starts thinking that perhaps there is something wrong with him that is not allowing him to read the girl’s actions. /Maybe I’m going blind/ Maybe I’m going deaf/ Maybe I’m out of my mind/. He then goes on to say that he is better than the man she was with before, and that her old man was trying too hard to keep her away from the fun and partying and he’s offering her a chance to set her free and be with him and be wild because that is what she is naturally accustomed to.
