He is complicit in Dwight’s attempt to lure Rosemary; he finds that they are too deeply entwined to stop the prevent carnage. Dwight’s attempts to “improve” Toby and turn him into a “man”, highlight the extreme vulnerability and sense of powerlessness that pervade many of the surrogate father figures in the novel. Dwight constantly sets him up for ridicule. For example, he makes him “shuck” horse chestnuts without gloves, which is an incredibly difficult task. His fingers become covered with a yellow stain and people think that he is hygienically unclean.
Changes of Mind In William Golding’s novel Lord of the Flies, the boys’ attitudes change from being tense and uneasy to being brutal and merciless, revealing their disinigration of civilization. In the beginning of the novel, where the first death takes place, the boys are in disbelief and shock. When Piggy frantically begins questioning the other boys where the missing littlun’ has gone, the boys remain “silent as death” and as Piggy continues interrogating they look at each other “fearfully” and “unbelievingly” as Ralph “mutters the reply…in shame”. Piggy is clearly extremely upset and worried but the rest of the boys are speechless and shaken that the littlun’ has disappeared. Piggy becomes more and more upset demanding for an answer, but when Jack, in a state of denial, mumbles a reply, the reality

Both families are very stubborn, they both refused to solve a feud that they didn’t even know the reason for the feud. By thee, old Capulet and Montague, Have thrice disturb’d the quiet of our streets, And made Verona’s ancient citizens Cast by their grave beseeming ornament To wield old partisans, in hands as old, Canker’d with peace, to part your canker’d hate (1.1.88-93) The prince is telling both families that their feud is not only affecting them, but also everyone around them too. All the citizens are scared because of this feud. Where are these enemies? Capulet!
Suddenly, they see a knight running toward them in fright; his name is Sir Trevisan, and he claims to be fleeing a terrible man named Despair. This Despair had already caused one of Trevisan's friends, Terwin, to kill himself. Redcrosse is eager to challenge Despair, and Trevisan reluctantly leads them back to the cave where Despair, a gloomy old man, sits.

Spill the blood!” (174,175) Reasoning: No civil person would repeatedly state this phrase. This definitely represents savagery. It shows how bloodthirsty these boys are and then when they recite this while murdering Simon; it makes it even more gruesome. They’re so consumed in all the blood that they don’t even realize they had killed Simon until it is too late. • “Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man’s heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy.” (235) Reasoning: This quote that was stated at the end of the book shows the reader and myself that the world of savagery only leads to murder and sorrow.
Mercutio and Tybalt’s relationship is one of hate based on the feud between their families. Because the feud between the Montague and Capulet family has been going on for such a long time, the reason that it all started has been lost. After the first fight scene between the Montagues and Capulets, the Prince addresses the two families: “What, ho! you men, you beasts… Three civil brawls, bred of an airy word By thee, old Capulet, and Montague, Have thrice disturbed the quiet of our streets”. (Shakespeare 31) “When the Prince calls the Capulets and Montagues a bunch of "beasts," he implies that their hatred doesn't seem to have any rational cause – it is simply the result of passions they refuse to restrain.”
Sing!” (Gardner, 171) Instead of killing Grendel immediately for what trouble he has caused to Hrothgar, he decides to embarrass him and torture him because he was given the upper hand. This part of the novel probably makes the reader feel sorry for Grendel, because the excessive force Beowulf was using on him. The way Beowulf handled the situation in the novel, suggest to the reader that he is indeed not a hero. Excessive force can be seen when Grendel says, “And the bleeding sinews deep in his shoulder snapped, muscle and bone split and broke. The battle was over, Beowulf had been granted new glory: Grendel escaped, but wounded as he was could flee to his den, his miserable hole at the bottom of the marsh, only to die, to wait for the end” (Raffel, 50).
He seems to also become scared of what he is now capable of, as he is repeatedly reminded of the deed that had then taken place. Seeing Banquo’s apparition at the feast causes Macbeth to scream, leading the guest to imagine that the new King has gone mad. It is said that ghost serve only two purposes; unfinished business and untimely deaths. Macbeths mind has spiralled out of control; he can no longer sleep. This was earlier mentioned in Act 2 scene 2, when Macbeth told his wife that “Still it cried, “Sleep no
