The excessive control demonstrated by the boys undoubtedly supports the idea that humans are innately evil, and it is also shown in many other ways such as how the boys mistreat each other. The Lord of the Flies proves the point that mankind is evil through the way that the boys mistreat each other. For starters, mistreatment is shown in the very beginning of the book when Jack says to Piggy, “Shut up, fatty!” (Golding 17). Jack is insulting Piggy while many of the boys mistreat and insult each other. Also another example of how mistreatment is shown in the book would be when Samneric betray Ralph.
'I do believe the creatures both are mad, one lately crazed, the other from her birth' (Sophocles 141) In this quote Creon is calling both Antigone and Iseme crazy for feeling sorrow for their brothers death.This displays hubris because he is being ignorant as he is filled with excessive pride. Creon was so insolent towards the two sisters tjay he didn't even understand that they lost a member of their own flesh and blood. Creon also portrays hubris toward the blind prophet. “Do you forget to whom you say it?” (Sophocles, 154) In this quote Creon is asking Teiresias If he forgets who he is talking to. Creon shows hubris because he asks this to Teiresias because he is king and has excessive pride.
Adams is constantly mocking the human state. This is shown through the character Zaphod and his impression of Arthur Dent, the last of the male human race. “’Yeah,’ said Zaphod, with a sudden evil grin, ‘you’d just have to program it to say What? and I don’t understand and Where’s the tea? – who’d know the difference?’ ‘What?’ cried Arthur, backing away still further.

He proves his racist nature when he says to Brabantio, “Even now, now, very now, an old black ram is tupping your white ewe.” (Act-1, Scene-1, 90-91) He also says that, “… your daughter and the Moore are now making the beast with two backs.” (Act-1 Scene-1, 117-118) Othello in Ashland didn’t do as good of a job portraying how Othello is in Shakespeare’s original play. He does go into fits of passion and rage, but also overdoes those fits. He screams and shakes more like he is having a seizure than a fit of passion. He also spits and drools which kills the seriousness of his role in the play. Othello does do a good job of portraying the lack of self confidence, and at the same time the arrogance that Othello has.
prospero was furious, and traps and enslaves him. Shakespeare presents caliban as ugly using other characters dialogua. For example, trinculo thinks that hi ‘smells like a fish’. This is using a simile to compare him. Trinculo takes a closer look, and observes that he is ‘legged like a man’ with ‘fins like arms’, so ha concludes that he must be ‘an islander that hath lately suffered by a thunderbolt’.
By presenting Claudius as the unfaithful serpent, it gives readers the connotation that he is evil, betraying and loathsome, correlating to the ghost’s and Hamlet’s feelings. Moreover, the serpent pattern of imagery is weaved in the ghost’s description of the poison- “swift as quicksilver it courses
Miner refers to dentists as holy mouth men and bathrooms as shrines for odd ritual practices. His language is clearly satirical and creates the notion of the "Nacirema" as vain and self obsessed. Also, they seem to be a masochistic society built around willingly subjecting themselves to pain and torture. The “Nacirema” knowingly allow “medicine men” and “holy-mouth-men” to perform debilitating painful procedures to prevent the unavoidable decay of their mouths and bodies. Miner makes subtle comedic reference to the classic stereotype of doctors having atrocious handwriting when he writes, "write them down in an ancient and secret language."
The poem, written from the perspective of J. Alfred Prufrock, is positively saturated with diction that suggests that Prufrock is plagued by enormous social anxiety and entertains an especially poor self-image. Indeed, Eliot goes so far as to make Prufrock compare himself to an insect, cured and pinned to a wall for meticulous scrutiny. Poor, wretched Prufrock cannot even allow himself the mere semblance of favorable reflection- he describes seeing his severed head on a platter but hastily disavows any comparison to the prophet John the Baptist. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders describes the social symptoms of Avoidant Personality Disorder (henceforth to be referred to as APD) as such: Subject is “shows preoccupied with being criticized or rejected in social situation” and ” views self as socially inept, personally unappealing, or inferior to others. [1]” Those souls afflicted with APD frequently engage in fantasy and disjointed thought in order to interrupt painful thoughts [2].
Bosola, the spy villain calls this world a "sensible hell" which implies a paradoxical state of being and evil generates evil and there is no mutual reciprocity of good and evil. To substantiate his caustic views Webster uses stark, poignant images of misery and hardships ("I am armed gainst misery") blood-lust, the digging up of graves by Ferdinand and cupping glasses. What is common in all these images is that there is a sense of mystery, secrecy and devilish nuances. He has also dealt with the themes of incest, lycanthropy and madness as subtexts to his main plot structure. He can be contrasted with Shakespeare in his work "The Italian Werewolf" where the wolf frequently appears on stage.
