Jay Gatsby is also motivated by love, however it is by the love he has for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan. As he tries to win Daisy over, Gatsby fears that she will always judge him for the class he is a part of in society. Hamlet and Gatsby are both similar in the sense that they are both tragic heroes, however their tragic flaws greatly differ. Gatsby’s flaw is that he is a dreamer and lives in a world where he is not able to face reality, while Hamlet’s issue is that he is a procrastinator and is unable to make decisions at the right time. Additionally, Gatsby and Amir are both forced to face the problems of class distinction in order to conquer their ultimate goals.
Willy’s downfall is a result of his reluctance to face his shame, his guilt towards his affair and the way Biff’s life turned out, and the social pressures of success. Willy denies the feeling of shame, affecting him and his family. Willy turns to another woman out of loneliness for Linda, deeply within; his feelings of shame are related to the need of a woman. Shame, inadequacy and inferiority evince the need to “be liked and never want” (Arthur Miller 21). This is apparent within Willy and his sons.
Baba sympathises with Hassan because he was born with a “harelip” however Amir doesn’t understand how Hassan has “earned Baba’s attention”. Hosseini has presented Amir to be jealous of Hassan because whilst Amir desperately tries to impress Baba by “playing football” and “writing a novel”, Hassan gets the attention that Amir desires from doing nothing. This affects Amir as the narrator because Amir is arrogant towards Hassan, as he brings his own problems into anything that isn’t about himself, showing his jealousy towards Hassan that leads him to be an unreliable narrator. Amir’s’ jealously means that the Kite Runner is centred around himself resulting in the narrative being narrow minded, which doesn’t allow the reader to have an open mind on the characters. Amir wishes that Baba would “let him be the favourite” but even though Hassan isn’t Baba’s son he will still always treat him fairly to Amir.
GREAT EXPECTATIONS FINAL ESSAY Love is one of the main themes in ‘Great Expectations’. How does Pip’s search for love play a role in his becoming of a gentleman? It doesn’t matter what kind of love it is, there is always some around. Pip links the ideals of the role of a lover and of a gentleman and presents both of these functions by including a lot of different characters that confuse him and also change him. We find him in many contrasting situations where he is mystified between the two ideas that he has grown up with and ends up going off into a different direction to the one he was supposed to follow, and somehow he always ends up being alone.
Antigone Essay Although Creon is a loving ruler just because he doesn't everything that benefits the people of Thebes, he doesn’t listen to what they want to say so he is not a loving ruler. Creon in the play Antigone demonstrates he is very selfish and doesn’t care about other’s ideas. I disagree that Creon is a loving ruler because Creon is stubborn and doesn’t listen to advice and Creon doesn’t listen or believe the prophet. Creon is stubborn and doesn’t listen to advice. All of Creon’s action was his own idea and will always think it is correct.
Since Kino is a victim of a society that is plagued by injustice and discrimination, he dreams of a brighter future for his family. By discovering the pearl, Kino sees the light of hope and plans to do what he has desired for—especially supporting his son, Coyotito’s education. He once again became conscious of the need for knowledge when people try to cheat him in order to get his pearl. Obsessed by his dream, Kino is blind to the greed and some of his fears were rooted from his paranoia and insecurity about his situation. As if ‘the Pearl of the World’ is a mirror, Kino finds himself in the pearl and realizes that too much of his greed made his ambition frivolous.
Instead of appreciating his family members’ relationship and being intimate with them, he treats them like dirt. This conveys to the audience how their love is inside a family, where love should be at its strongest, is distant and insincere as they hold each other away. He not only “bunburys” his family, but also bunburys as Jack’s deviant brother Ernest to get to his young and pretty ward, Cecily, and win her heart. By gaining her affection through a name instead of his actual identity as a character shows how superficial love is in this era; one loves another for his/her title, not for his/her substance as an individual. The people in this time period married another person for unimportant reasons, such as social class, instead of his or her inner
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.
And so, Hester, I drew thee into my heart, into its innermost chamber, and sought to warm thee by the warmth in which thy presence made there!” (69). Chillingworth’s compassion and desire for love and good, over the cruel and evil atmosphere he later develops, reveals that he was not always wandering down the road of revenge, but was a man of virtue. His spiraling fall into malice and morally self destructive actions only occur after he sets himself down the road to find the other person who wronged him, the man who shares his wife’s sin, and take vengeance upon him. Roger continues his personal decline by betraying his human nature and turning to a more demonic nature. “The physician advanced directly in front of his patient, laid his hand upon his bosom, and thrust aside the vestment that, hitherto, had always covered it even from the professional eye.
Having this level of Dominance towards not a daughter, but a niece, is very uncommon in the real world. So this establishes that Eddie Carbone is irrationally possessive about his niece, Catherine. A way Eddie is able to not be suspected of his incestuous feelings towards Catherine by her or his wife, is through Catherine’s innocence .Catherine is too naïve to understand Eddie’s love at the start of the play. She does love Eddie and cares for him but more like in a fatherly way. She wants his
