Through this, Dickens is able to show readers that the things we should value most in life are priceless, and are the key to ultimately finding happiness. Dickens uses Old Fezziwig to guide Scrooge into recognising how treating his
As Carters other tales within her collection are darker, this can be seen as light relief. She cleverly places Puss in Boots in the middle of her collection making this story a light relief for readers. Her ending is also a very classic fairytale ending as everyone lives happily ever after “for tabs and I smile all day long” making this story of Carters a light relief. However, Puss in Boots is not just a story for readers to feel relief; Carter has made sure that her story has a
The film’s corresponding characters are C.D., Roxanne, Chris, and Dixie. In both versions they keep Cyrano’s giant nose, his beautiful poetry, and his caring nature for Roxane. Christian is very attractive, awkward with his words, and does not know how to express his feeling towards Roxane. Both versions feature Roxanne, a very beautiful and independent woman, but also quite a shallow woman who doesn’t know that what she has been looking for has been right in front of her the whole time. Not only are all these characters and their attributes the same in both the play and the film, but many of the scenes are quite similar too.
Oh sure! I get you.” This makes the reader know that candy really loved his dog and everyone knew it so they feel bad for him. Steinbeck describes candy speaking “more confidently “ to George which insinuates that he is usually quite shy and closed off from the other men as they don’t value his opinions due to his age. This indicates to the readers that candy has probably felt degraded in the past due to experiences with other men. I think Steinbeck perhaps wanted the readers to feel some sympathy towards him, as they can tell he is a good natured person.
Victorian Relationships Victorian literature, though lengthy, is abundant and well developed in its use of character. In Great Expectations, by Charles Dickens, characters are used both to develop major themes and as plot vehicles. The two most prominent, and most indissoluble, themes portrayed are love and friendship. The characters pertinent to these themes are; Pip, Estella, Wemmick, Herbert, and Magwitch. Dickens plays with these characters’ emotions and interactions to show us veritable instances of friendship and love.
The short marriage between Aron and Gemma in the woods represents a fairytale romance. We also see Josef’s love for Aron which Josef is unable to say. Josef ends up alone with his memories, many of them painful.

So Dickens portrays Pumblechook as a man who changes his behaviour towards someone according to their status just for his own benefit. This links to Mr Collins in Pride and Prejudice who also thinks he's above everyone else because he knows Lady Catherine, he always talks about her and shows off at every opportunity just like Pumblechook does with
Shelly shows that aesthetics, intelligence, happiness and sadness are all conducive to the person’s context. The creature’s aesthetics are conducive to his maker, just like real people because of their parents. His intelligence is founded upon the books he reads and the environment he is in, “I knew and could distinguish nothing...I could hardly describe to you the effect of these books”, just like people in society are, as well by their parents and environments. His happiness and sadness are conducive to his creators love and lack of it, just like many in society. Shelly makes the creature into the symbolic embodiment of neglect by society, neglect by parents and neglect by science.
However the reality that daisy has loved more than just Gatsby crushed him since he had the illusion that she only ever loved him. It is clear that even if she loves Gatsby due to Tom’s social statues and old money daisy will not be leaving him. Although Gatsby considers daisy to be the most perfect women he has ever met, it becomes clear toward the end of the novel that daisy is a selfish woman who only cares about herself. This is shown in chapter seven when daisy hits myrtle with Gatsby’s car and does not stop or slow down the car. That night Gatsby, still in love with daisy, waits for her “all night if necessary” (Fitzgerald, pg.
