In the book The Outsiders a young adult fiction by S.E Hinton, Hinton takes the reader on a journey that will change the way they see the society. She shows this through the eyes of the main character, Ponyboy Curtis. When Hinton introduces Pony, both of his parents have died in a car accident and he’s being raised by his brothers. Because of his tough life, his moodiness, forgetfulness, and confused emotions are totally understandable. Hinton takes the reader on the ride of their life, showing them the way society wrongly judges people, and how Ponyboy realizes that people are not what they appear to be.
Different events throughout the play lead these relationships to change, and lead both Romeo and Juliet to distrust their parental figures. For example when the Nurse, whom Juliet trusts deeply, refers to Romeo as a “dishclout” despite knowing that he is Juliet’s husband, this then leads Juliet to distrust the Nurse. When Capulet’s “fingers itch” after Juliet has disobeyed him, this could also be seen as failure on Capulet’s part to be a good parent. Some may argue that these events are examples of how Romeo and Juliet are failed by their parents and parental figures. In Act 3 scene 5 it could be argued that Juliet is failed by both her parents.
He brings Daisy and Gatsby into disrepute when he confronts them regarding their affair in front of everyone else. His double standard here is very evident because he is happy to unfairly accuse them when he is currently in the midst of having his own affair with his mistress, Myrtle Wilson. He is a very hypocritical man and is not afraid to do anything necessary to remain in control of the situation. Mr Buchanan is also used by Fitzgerald to play the “Brute” character that is present in just about all classic novels (e.g. Roo in “The Summer of The Seventeenth Doll.”) Fitzgerald makes it very clear to us that Tom is “A hulking man” by how the other characters in the book refer to him.

Tom doesn’t seem to care that his affair hurts Daisy, he proves this by take Nick (Daisy cousin) to meet his mistress “I want you to meet my girl” (pg24). He seems to ignore Daisy throughout the book until he suspects Daisy is having an affair with Gatsby, and then he seems to come unglued. “I suppose the latest thing is to sit back and let Mr. Nobody from Nowhere make love to your wife” (pg130). Tom’s ego takes a hit when he finds out Gatsby wants something that is
Both of them suppress something they do not want other people to know. Beatty and Mildred may seem like they are similar but they are different on many levels. Beatty may look and act like a normal person but he is a completely different person on the inside. Beatty shows some of his intelligence when he talks to Montag about what he knows: ‘Swahili, Indian, English Lit., I speak them all. A kind of excellent dumb discourse, Willie” (Bradbury 107).
These are question's man has always sought to enlighten himself with and there are no true answers in my opinion. It can wary drastically but I will confine myself to the texts i have to work with and what they seem to believe would bring happiness.
