One evening while at home after observing that the laboratory and my masters quarters were empty I stayed awake waiting for him. I was stirred for a moment by a noise coming form the back door. I rushed to see if my master was using the back entrance and came face to face with who I knew must be Mr. Hyde. Pure evil was this man that stood before me. Evil like none I had ever seen before, it seem almost to seep right out of his pores.

Gatsby’s heroism in the war, determination in the pursuit of his dreams, and his tenacious devotion to the love of Daisy forms Nick’s final opinion which leads him to give him the compliment. From all the events portrayed through the eyes of Nick in this novel, and after the death of Jay Gatsby, Nick states “Tom and Daisy-they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness…” Nick characterizes them by asserting that they are careless people who end up retreating back to their money and to the safety of their relationship after having their “good time”. After reading and looking back through specific parts of the novel and, as well, coming up with my personal conclusions; I must agree with the judgment to which Nick had made most frankly clear. Nick insists, by using the term ‘smashed’, that Daisy and Tom destroyed countless lives
A streaming cloud pouring from the stone, then the earth itself shook. Beowulf swung his shield into place, held it in front of him, facing my entrance. My flames beat at the iron shield, and for a time it held, protected Beowulf as he had planned, but then it began to melt and for the first time in his life that famous prince fought with fate against him, with glory denied him. Even though he knew this he still exhausted himself trying to overcome me. He took one swipe with his iron sword, penetrating my skin and drawing blood.
3.05 Fascination with Fear Part A The theme I developed from Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Premature Burial” is Man must ignore the darker possibilities in life in order to survive. Examples from the text include the narrators experience he told about in the story. He awoke to the smell of dirt, nothing but darkness, the feeling of wood all around him, and silence of a sea that overwhelms. Since he cannot open the coffin he thinks he is in, he realizes that he must have fallen under an attack catalepsy in the presence of people who knew not of his condition. He screams, then to be shaken by four people, making him realize he is really in the tiny sleeping berths of a ship.
It is evident when he states, “Every night I was oppressed by a slow fever, and I became nervous to a most painful degree; the fall of a leaf startled me, and I shunned my fellow creatures as if I had been quality of a crime” (Frankenstein 34). Victor had become obsessed because he was growing apart from the world and put all his energy into his monster. In the same manner, Macbeth’s ambition also became obsessive. In the beginning Macbeth had no plan to betray King Duncan and to take over the throne. However, all this changed when the three witches planted the seed of betrayal in him and when Lady Macbeth encouraged him to kill King Duncan and become king.
This section is where Montag truly starts to think independently, as he does things that are taboo against his society in hopes of gaining new insights. While on a subway, Montag recalls a painful childhood memory. “… some cruel cousin had said ’Fill this sieve and you’ll get a dime!’ And the faster he poured, the faster it sifted through with a hot whispering.” (Bradbury, 78). The harder Montag tried, the more hopeless the situation became. He was making zero progress.
Readers then realize that Lennie doesn’t understand the difference between killing an animal and murdering a human, therefore putting other lives at risk. There was an instance where Crooks was in danger himself, the result of him taunting Lennie that George might never come back for Lennie. Readers can sense the danger that Crooks was facing when “Suddenly Lennie’s eyes centered and grew quiet, and mad. He stood up and walked dangerously towards Crooks. ‘Who hurt George?’ he demanded” (Steinbeck 73).
It was very striking for me to stand in a small damp, dark and dreary cell. With the knowledge that many men had spent there last night on earth waiting to get shot in the morning. It so incomparable how could one man knowingly sentence another man from his own side to die for simply being scared. I know I could never shot another man ever. Never mind the circumstances.
He is unable to take the "responsibility" of caring for his holy father God, he is "tormented" and constantly "[aching]" of his shame. When he denies to pray for the soul of the dead baby, he feels guilty and goes back looking for the mother. He thinks he is inadequate to continue with his search, he finds the tomb of the baby and a cube of sugar laying above the tombstone. The priest is now left "abandon" and with "despair", he is now waiting for a "miracle" to save him. He is now being tentative because he does not know if he should eat the sugar cube, but his loathsome side ended up taking over, and he eats the sugar cube.
