Steinbeck portrays him as paranoid and insecure for which he overcompensates for with aggression. In section 4 we find talking to Crooks, Candy and Lennie, in this section we see a glimpse of her true self, after which she then overcompensates for her vulnerability by threatening to have Crooks lynched. This gives us the impression that she is evil. Finally in section 5 we see the true version of Curley's wife, we learn she has dreams, just like everyone else, and also falls victim to loneliness (another big theme of the novel). In death, we see what she really looks like, innocent and pure.
This would make some readers feel pity for Mayella as she is lamenting due to horrific flashbacks she may encounter, others may think that this is a cover up as she knows what she is doing is wrong, and she is trying to get the judge and the jury to side with her. This technique is used by Lee to make the ruler think and engage the readers. This view shared with Jem: “she’s got enough sense to get the judge sorry for her, but she might just be just – oh, I don’t know”. Here Harper Lee shows the mental controversy of the characters as that the trial has brought on
Before Juliet meet’s Romeo, Lady Capulet is very distant from her daughter which is shown in several circumstances including when Lady Capulet announces “Nurse, give leave awhile. We must talk in secret. - nurse, come back again” (I, iii, 8-9). This quote is significant because it shows that just being alone with Juliet makes her nervous and shows the rift between them. After Juliet has refused to marry Paris, Lady Capulet gets very upset but even she is shocked by Lord Capulet’s reaction and shows this by saying “fie, fie, what, are you mad?” (III, iiiii, 163).
She also lies continually to make her life appear more glamorous. She fears getting too close to a man. Her reasons for visiting her sister Stella are very interesting. She comes bearing bad news. She brings news that their prestigious home that they grew up in has been lost.
Theres Rose Mary, thats for remembering. Please remember, love.” (Act lV, Scene V). Ophelia says. She is trying to show Laertes speaking up for herself in a way how crazy she has gotten from her fathers death, that even if she's crazy she will still speak up and show why she is mad. Then Laertes says, in “Sadness and torment, suffering, hell itself—she makes them almost pretty.” (Act lV, Scene V).
For example, the poor memory system applies to the case study where Diane recalls to have trouble remembering whether she turned off the gas or not. According to cognitive perspective, patients with OCD have different obsessive thinking patterns which cannot be dismissed and often are misinterpreted leading to exaggerated sense of responsibility. This concept can be applied to Diane’s case where she took a big responsibility as a child for her mother’s life by obsessively praying for her safety. Individuals with OCD blame themselves for having these thoughts and for the terrible things that will happen as a consequence of them (Shafran, 2005). Another episode from the case study where Diane had intrusive obsessional thoughts of strangling her own children with the dressing gown cords suggests that Diane had maladaptive cognition and she believed that her thoughts would help to cause events (thought-action fusion) e.g.
Although it is possible for one to see the character of Blanche as a manipulating and vindictive individual, who has no sense of compassion or consideration for others, she is also written as an emotionally unstable woman who had suffered a tragedy in her early life, therefore be a victim It is possible that Williams based this character on his sister as she suffered from mental illness and emotional instability, therefore innately, and sympathetically portraying her as victim. There are suggestions throughout the play that Blanches’ malice is unintended, and that she truly believes ‘ deliberate cruelty is unforgivable’. For example, in scene 3, Stanley lashes out violently at Stella after heavily drinking, and it is Blanche that takes her away from him and the danger he poses, illustrating her inner compassion. The constant heavy drinking included in the play is also suggestive of blanches state as a victim. Williams included her alcoholism to create the awareness of blanches need to escape the harsh reality of life and how out of control she is.
Mrs Lyons relationship changed with Mr Lyons because they were argued about whether they should move.

When asked if she knows the law, her exclamation is, "It was public. Could I help hearing it” (Scene 1, 55). This line clearly shows that Antigone knows that she broke the command and also is not shamed to admit it to the creator of the ruling himself. This shows that Antigone’s flaws are being stubborn, having an over bearing personality, and behaving in a headstrong manner. Throughout the play, “from Antigone”, Sophocles uses Antigone as the tragic hero.
