The students showed this by becoming “listless” during his stories. His tone and words were always picked with sarcastic criticism, too; for example, “I don’t mean to be polite or impolite, either. I guess it’s a sort of way I have, of saying things regardless.” (Cather, 245). I think Paul used this to separate himself from the rest of the dull crowd around him. Paul hated his surroundings, he felt so disgusted by it all that he presented himself in the most obnoxious way; hoping that some day those around him would grow to appreciate his distinct
Creon often seems to be full of himself in this play. He made the choice not bury Polyneices because Creon saw him as a traitor. When Polyneices’ family heard of this they were enraged, especially his sister Antigone. Creon will not let a lower authority tell him what is right or not. He feels that his laws are above that of any other.
In Notes from Underground, the narrator shows emotion from the beginning of the story. He begins by telling the readers “I’m… a mean man” (84). By describing himself as a mean man lets the reader know that he is capable of showing emotion. However, the emotion he portrays throughout the novella is always anger at the world because he never felt loved by anyone. The only way he can demonstrate his feelings is by being angry at the world and mean.
Cosi is a semi‐autobiographical play composed by Louis Nowra. It encompasses themes of love and fidelity during a time of tumultuous change in society’s integrity: the contextual influences of the time notably affect the manner in which the audience perceives Lewis’s development as a character. Nowra utilises a variety of techniques that aid in the development of Lewis’s character from insensitive to an acquainted individual. Directing Cosi Fan Tutte with mentally and emotionally handicapped individuals is the catalyst for Lewis’s own emotional and mental maturity [Relate to Qs] The detailed characterisation of Lewis through the use of stage directions and dialogue forms an essential facet in the text throughout his journey as a director.
He is not someone chasing anyone of this world, but runs as way of dealing with the pain of his memories. One of the central characters in the book is Tom Leyton, who is judged harshly by the community, with rumours spread of his “deformity and madness”. Tom’s experiences in the war have led him to isolate
He has the reputation of a no nonsense military general and this is seen right from the beginning of the Shakespearean play. The following extract is from Act I, Scene II and is said when Othello first enters on stage and is of him talking to Iago about how he believes his services in the army and his reputation he has gained from his career; “let him do his spite: My services which i have done the signory, shall out tongue his complaints.” This status in fact partly causes Desdemona's death. He becomes so distraught when he hears from Iago that Cassio and Desdemona and cheating on
They must be flogged. Upon hearing this Major Cabot Forbes is disgusted and reacts by denouncing the action of using a whip. Showing his leadership Shaw supports the flogging and tells his friend of many years Major Cabot to never question is authority causing a shrift between them, after a few exchanges of words the flogging begins. This is the point of the film where friends of Colonel Shaw are confused by his actions and are confused why he is behaving in way that he has not before in a more mean spirited and somewhat racist way. There also seems to be a conflict going on within himself.
Landon shows disrespect towards his Principle through his body language and tone of voice, instead of sitting up politely, he slouches and talks back. Not only does Landon not care about authority he consistently rebels against societal norms such as: caring, having morals, having a sense of self and having a conscience. Landon displays these abnormalities by not standing up to his friends when they made fun of Jamie for talking to Landon, by not feeling nearly enough sympathy for the boy who got hurt even though it was Landon who pushed him. Landon displays a lack of morals by drinking and driving. One of the reasons to Landon’s misconduct is that he completely and utterly disrespects and loathes his Father figure.
For instance, a quote from him states, “What, drawn, and talk of peace? I hate the word as I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee.” This quote is from when Tybalt is talking to Benvolio while he is trying to stop the fight from occurring in the first scene. Because it says that Tybalt hates peace, he must like to fight. I also assume that the reason that the Montagues hate the Capulets is a very old problem that never affected Tybalt himself so he really has no reason to hate Benvolio. This shows that he hates people that he may not know well enough.
Darne Duckett English 10/3 Fitzgerald 2014 September 25 ORB project Voice Quote 1: Hate is a hard feeling to overcome, and hate can take us to a point where we are not even ourselves anymore. “I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him”. Booker T. Washington was truly expressing voice and how he feels through this quote. His voice speaks to me saying that any person, cannot complete any actions to make him hate them. If he lets himself get out of control so much that he hates someone, then his inner self and soul breaks down or degrades.
