In the play “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare love is an important theme. In this play, Juliet and Romeo fall in love while Romeo is trying to get over Rosalind and Juliet is having an arranged marriage, their families are also feuding. In Shakespeare's play, Mercutio, Romeo and Juliet all have different views of love. Mercutio’s view of love is very humorous and not true, Romeo’s view of love is hopeless; he likes being in love, but does not like love itself. Lastly, Juliet’s view of love is logical; she does not follow love blindly.
Gwendolyn in particular is fond and proud of her education yet in the end she easily forgives Jack for lying to her throughout the play underlying a sense of stupidity. This easy acceptance of liars by the characters highlights Wilde’s disregard for the flaws of both the characters and society therefore
Who is to blame? By John Magee Romeo and Juliet is one of the most controversial and enduring stories of forbidden love due to Romeo and Juliet’s passionate innocence and their tragedy. Their innocence comes from their age and infatuation, but the tragedy is surely the result of the self-serving, manipulative and at times terrible judgment of Friar Lawrence. Romeo and Juliet’s love faced many obstacles, including a feud between their families, Juliet’s promised marriage to Count Paris, and their own youthful innocence. But if any one person is to blame for their tragic death that person is their most trusted advisor Friar Lawrence.
The Very Best and Worst of Human Nature in To Kill A Mockingbird In Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird, pairs of opposing characters are used display the positive or negative characteristics in each other. These pairs of characters demonstrate the theme of prejudice and the coexistence of social diversities throughout the novel acting as foils to one another. Miss Maudie Atkinson’s compassionate and caring personality contrasts with Miss Stephanie Crawford’s unreliable and attention driven behaviours. Though both Link Deas and Dolphus Raymond do not discriminate, Link Deas shows he will do everything in his power to ensure the truth is known, while Dolphus Raymond will hide behind lies his entire life instead of defending what he believes. Equality is a fundamental view of Calpurnia’s; as she teaches Jem and Scout to treat everyone with respect and fairness with no exceptions.
Words like “dull”, “dust” and “sweat” all illustrate how depressed and tough their life is. These gloomy adjectives used, makes the reader imagine the miserable state of the wife, married to an abusive man. With the wise choice of words, we get the picture that the man suffered to earn a living, however now the women is enduring pain as a result of his frustration. The lack of rhyme in this poem is also poem; reflecting the monotony of their life. From the beginning of the poem we realize that the situation is not pleasant; this is shown by the alliteration of the harsh consonant ‘d’.
Macbeth is a study of the human potential for evil; it illustrates—though not in a religious context—the Judeo-Christian concept of the Fall, humanity's loss of God's grace. We see the triumph of evil in a man with many good qualities. We are made aware that the potential for evil is frighteningly present in all of us and needs only the wrong circumstances and a relaxation of our desire for good. The good in Macbeth cries out poignantly through his feverish imagination, but his worldly ambition, the influence of Lady Macbeth (though she too has an inarticulate angel struggling against her own evil), and the instigation of a supernatural power all combine to crush his better nature.By the end of the play Macbeth has collapsed beneath the weight of his evil, and the desperate tyrant has so isolated himself from society—and from his own moral sensibility—that for him life seems "a tale / Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, / Signifying nothing' (5.5.26-28). Macbeth's despair strikes a responsive chord in modern audiences and readers partly because it resembles an existentialist response to the uncertainties of modern life.
The third phase is that the narrator or writer cannot admit how they feel about the person or object and are sometimes confused as to why they are so infatuated with it. In each piece of work, the narrator becomes obsessed when talking about how much they hate the object of their love. The story in “Hate Poem” revolves around the feeling of hatred toward a person, but the real meaning behind the speaker’s hatred is actually love. The narrator goes through great amounts of effort to get the reader and herself to believe that she hates her significant other. However, the words that she uses to describe these feelings make her sound like she is obsessed with him: Everything about me hates you (2) The way I hold my pencil hates you (4) My aorta hates you.
Holden’s character appears to be: sordid, emotionally deep, and compassionate but his emotions interfere and are revealed. When Holden hears Sunny’s “tiny little wheeny-whiny voice”, he notices that it was even harder to hear her because “she was very nervous, for a prostitute” (Salinger pg. 94). Sunny’s pronounced personality traits immediately impact Holden; her neurotic behavior gave Holden an insecure impression and her childish voice made her appear immature, which made Holden think of her youth, making him feel immoral. Holden once again notices Sunny’s humane nature when she says, “ like fun you are”, instead of saying a more bitter response (Salinger pg.94).
The poem shows the weakness of women and how much we depend on men. The writer in ‘Medusa’ is so paranoid and jealous because she has a suspicion that her husband is cheating on her. There is no evidence throughout the text that he actually is. She is driven crazy by paranoia and also questions her own beauty- ‘wasn’t I beautiful?’- showing that she lacks self-confidence and feels vulnerable. Women often feel belittled by men, lose their self-confidence and feel ashamed of themselves.
