A tragic hero is someone of noble birth with heroic qualities, but the hero struggles mightly against this fate and this cosmic conflict wins our admiration. One of the qualities of John Proctor being a tragic hero include his strong conviction. “But I wilted, and, like a Christian, I confessed. Confessed" (Miller 163)! This quote proves that he is really a Christian because he confesses his sins to God.
Elizabeth Doherty is a good natured though gusty but vulnerable woman. She functions in two ways: to appeal to us – enlisting out sympathy and getting us ‘on side’ with the rebels as well as exemplifying more clearly perhaps than any other character the socio-political situation which Friel is demonstrating. Lily is not the brightest crayon in the box. She is an uneducated woman, barely articulate, who has difficulty even understanding why she marches. She acts as a central part of the authors messages.

They both believe in the power of God and that he wants them to have generous and good lives. Jonathan Edwards approaches his congregations with what he feels to be the rage of God. The sermon, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” was meant to make Edward’s listeners aware of the fact that their behavior and conduct on earth was far more important than the wrath of the devil in hell which was the faith of those who did not adhere to proper religious values as expressed in the Bible. He tried to make an avid impact on the colony in this way but was more effective to discuss God’s wrath, maybe to instill fear into the minds of his followers, because many of them were taught you do bad you go to hell. To achieve his end of making his congregants aware of their dangerous positions on earth, in which he states “as they could be cast into hell at any time” he reminded them of the power of God and his capacity for doing away with sinners.
Review “Good Country People” Flannery O'Connor story “Good Country People,” is a story that captures one by usage of symbolism, characterization and irony; warning people life is not pointless and human values are not worthless. Joy/Hulga is the dual-named main character that goes through a complete change throughout the story. She changes her name from Joy to Hulga, an “ugly” (171) name, to reflect her feelings about her injured body and mind. As the name is the contradictory of her real name Joy; as is her personality. The impact of Joy remaining conscious even though terribly injured as a child; when her ”…leg had been literally blasted off;” (172)indicates that Joy seems to have rejected her own body by choosing a life of intelligence.
Although, Hulga is not a very pretty girl, she uses her Ph.D. to place her beyond anyone else. Hulga claims she does not trust or believe in anything. Ultimately, she does have total faith in her education and wooden leg. Second, Mrs. Hopewell first appears to readers as an optimistic woman, having a weakness for who she believes in as “good country people.” In the result of Hulga’s deformity, Mrs. Hopewell fails to accept Hulga for who she truly is. This reveals to readers that Mrs. Hopewell is self-fish, deceptive and
Believers practicing loving God with all their mind would be a witness to this world and even a way of reaching out in compassion and gentleness we have left behind by burying our arguments in our Bibles and not engaging the questions raised by the lost. Understanding where Evangelicals have fallen intellectually will help foster obedience to Christ’s command to love God with all of our mind. The major arguments held by critics Richard Hofstadter, George M. Marsden, and Alister McGrath, declare modern Evangelicalism anti-intellectual. Some of the main reasons for this are the average Evangelicals fear of defending their faith, the separation of the spiritual and secular, and the slothfulness Evangelicals have to
She cares much more than needed. Meredith Grey as many attitudes one day she is all happy then the next day she is crazy and trying to kill her self. Overall Meredith is a very caring person who is scared of getting her hart broken by doctor McDreamy. Miranda Bailey she is a hardcore doctor that everyone is scared of even the Chief but, as the show goes on you see she as a heart and how caring she really is. Then there is Lexi Grey she is Meredith’s half sister and she is nothing like her though.
Love and family are very important to her. She is also an obliging woman. Yet they all have a virtuous lie in different purpose. Raimunda have an unusual degree of self-reliance and mental toughness. She treated with the cadaver of her husband imperturbably after her husband was killed by her daughter.
While the rest of the world is poverty stricken countries and they are in British control. With this type of thinking makes these women vulnerable and powerless. It also makes them easy targets for others that would harm them. In Jennifer Wicke’s, “Vampiric Typewritting”, Jennifer talks about Mina’s letter to Lucy about learning Jonathan’s short hand and her “girlish pursuits, if slavishly dutiful” (Wicke 467) this being part of the 1800’s beliefs. All of their correspondences suggest a shroud of innocence surrounds them.
