He is totally selfish because only him feel pleasure about having affair with Abigail. “Abby, I may think of you softly from time to time. But I will cut off my hand before I’ll ever reach for you again.” (Miller, 23) John says this to Abigail because it is the way that John can try to get through and end the relationship between them. John Proctor is coward because his behaviour does not match his words. He said that he does not want to reach Abigail anymore but he keeps talking to her.
She was satisfied with never wanting for anything financially, so much so she allowed this to distract her from the fact that she was emotionally unfulfilled in every aspect of her life. She may have indiscreetly envied her independent children and friends, but would never admit such a thing because that would force her to realize she is not at all
Although I do show that personal friends and acquaintances have all admitted that Aileen frequented local bars, and would be seen leaving in a drunken stupor, many times. In some of the court proceedings, it was also acknowledged that at age11, Wuornos began trading sexual favors for money, beer, and cigarettes. These habits may have eventually led to Aileen’s alcoholism. IX. Collateral: In a letter to the Florida Supreme Court, Wuornos' appeals lawyer, Raag Singhal, said that Aileen Wuornos was exhibiting bizarre and strange behavior, as she was seen during court hearings crying and then laughing hysterically unexpectedly, and it didn’t seem to have anything to do with her case.
“Jig” is a young, woman who is forced to decide between her freedom and the stability of her relationship or embracing motherhood and responsibilities that come with such a title. While It is not to say that motherhood would be imprisonment; it in fact would be the death of everything she loved which could be categorized into two different things: travelling, and the very stability of her relationship with her lover, “the American”. “The American” says, “that’s the only thing that bothers us. It’s the only thing that’s made us unhappy.” (Hemingway 592) which equally shows that the center of conflict in their relationship is the alleged
They soon order another round of beers, and the man comments that he wants her to have an operation, but he never says what kind of operation he wants her to have. He acts frustrated and tries to avoid the importance of the operation. He says that the operation would be easy, but then says the operation isn’t one at all. The girl is quiet for a while, but then she asks the man is everything would be fine after the operation. The man agrees with her statement and even adds that everything would be like before.
Her mother on the other hand, means so much to her, she doesn't want her to be alone. She decides to desert her dream, she still lives with Grandma, much like a dependant child, yet she knows Grandma would suffer from great loneliness without her” (Bloom, Harold. “List of characters in Lost in Yonkers. p67-68). Bella’s guilt caused by her mother’s fear of loneliness has left her short of any male relations.
He spends his days sitting around waiting for Porphyria to come around and spend time with him. I think he’s a very selfish man in the way that he takes her life and doesn’t really have in mind the impact it could have on her family, all he thinks about in that short period of time from when she arrives to when he kills her is that he wants her to himself ; he doesn’t want her to go back to her husband. I don’t really sympathise for Porphyria. I think she is selfish for what she is doing ; she is going behind her husbands back and having an affair with another man. However I do sympathise for her in the way that she cant get a divorce.
Tom Walker is specifically an American antihero as he is selfish and only wants money, unfaithful in his marriage and deals, and is trying to fight back when he realizes consequences of his deal. * Page 2 * In colonial times, when this story takes place, the British use the colonies in America to get natural resources. These resources are used to make money, but the colonies do not benefit from the deals with the British. This relates to the story as Irving describes Tom as a selfish person throughout the story. When the devil offers Tom a deal he would have accepted “However Tom might have felt disposed to sell himself to the
For example, Finch picks an “alcohol day-drinker”, an ex-Marine with a tough guy attitude, and a non-stop gamer. The day-drinker justifies that she honestly does not care about the case because all she cares about it drinking. Finch picks an ex-Marine with a tough guy attitude because the man would have no sympathy for the widow, also his previous possession of guns might shine off positive bias towards the gun company. Lastly, Finch picks non-stop gamer “Nick Easter” because Easter portrayed a negative vibe of being a juror when he told the judge that his Madden tournament was more important than completing his citizen duties. His negative vibe relates to a lack of sympathy because if Easter does not want to be there at all, he does not want to hear anything the Plantiff, including the widow, has to
The male character is dominant, defensive and hypocritical and the female character is pendent and is incapable of voting for her decision. In the story the man persistently tells her to abort the child but never uses the word abortion. He keeps on giving more like hypnotic suggestions that she must abort the child because it’s a very simple operation. He is hypocritical because he keeps on saying – “But I don’t want you to do if you didn’t want to”. He says that he doesn’t need a baby in their life - “That’s the only thing that bothers us.
