Although the reader is able to see the more curious and confused side of Grendel, his evilness is not chosen. Although the evilness he shows is innate in him and taught, Grendel is a self-made monster, or a victim of his own creation. In one sense you feel pity for him, but you know that he should be feared and hated. The first passage of this story basically describes the building of Heorot. Hrothgar, decides to build a type of sanctuary for his warriors that he names "Heorot".
Therefore, it can be strongly seen that Rossetti feelings are portrayed through her work. Rossetti shows a consistent negative image of the goblin men throughout the poem, as nothing ever positive is ever said about ‘men’. The dialogue of the male voices in the poem are tasteless, ‘come buy come buy’, and Rossetti creates a strong dehumanizing effect on the goblin men in the poem as it progresses to cause the reader to be disgusted by them. This adds to the surprise of Laura being persuaded by the goblin men and shocks the reader. The dehumanization of the goblin men can be seen where they are
Also Carl is weak and he is like caged like the Osprey, he doesn’t like showing his fleshy bulges because he is scared that people would tease him and Carl is scared to stand up for himself. Carl also listens to anyone
These include; those who purposely refrain from outer society and those who are prejudiced by others, this is mostly due to their physical appearance. An outsider – a person who is seen as a threat to normality or isn’t perceived as the ‘norm’ and is therefore shunned into being a minority by a majority, not belonging to a particular group of people; in Shelley’s ‘Frankenstein’ for the creature’s case this would be the whole of society as he is seen as the “ultimate outsider” and he is subject to many of society’s demons. For instance, prejudice. This is one of the most significant reasons for most of the outsiders within Shelley’s ‘Frankenstein’ and Huxley’s ‘Brave New World’. The creature is rejected from society starting from his creation because of how different he looks to the rest; Shelley uses “abhorred” to describe the creature and throughout the novel this reinforces the fact of how despised he is by others.
He is cast out and neglected by society because he does not meet its ideal of beauty and this criticises the way we, as humans, judge character based on one’s appearance. It is assumed that the creature is a ‘monster’ based solely upon his appearance, which is why Victor hides from it after it first comes to life. Frankenstein’s monster describes the ‘treatment suffered from the barbarous villagers’. This is Shelley commenting on the creature’s rejection from society and criticising how people are too quick to judge a person’s character based on their appearance rather than their personality. The villagers are described as ‘barbarous’ which could show how they are in fact the monsters, as opposed to Frankenstein’s creature.
His superiority is being undermined and he is being characterized as a cat, which demeans his superior position in a theocratic society. John Proctor is a non-believer in the theocratic society and thinks their beliefs are wrong, he believes that the society has been cursed with insensibility and this is evident to readers when he says to Hale in Act 1 “I’ve heard you to be a sensible man, Mr Hale. I hope you’ll leave some of it in Salem”. He resists the challenge to belong and embraces the challenge to not belong. He goes against the court and their teachings and constantly tries to undermine the court officials.
He is both sorry for Romeo after his unsuccessful attempts at a relationship with Rosaline and is worried for Romeo if he accepts the challenge from Tybalt, because Mercutio knows that Tybalt is the better swordsman. It is also learned that Mercutio thinks very highly of himself when he states, “Nay, I am the very pink of courtesy” (2.4.59). By stating this, he is implying that he has better manners and politeness than the people around him. During this scene, Romeo’s cousin and friend Benvolio is also further characterized. From the scene, it is shown that Benvolio is a caring friend and is considerate of Romeo’s feelings.
He changes when he learns about Mrs. Dubois and her bad addiction to morphine. One can directed to believe that Jem would be more inclined to read to her to help her to stay clean. He loses his innocence when Mrs. Duboise dies and he never gets to really apologize for his actions. After this loss of innocence, he has another realization that life is unfair and it is not fun and games because of the verdict in the Tom Robinson case. He also realizes the mere fact of why Boo Radley never liked coming out the house which shows his intellectual maturity of realizing that the world is not that great.
He is ‘one in a thousand’ with regards to being a pianist not ‘one in a million’. It would be understandable for Paul to feel as if Keller was ‘bad for him, the worst possible teacher’, judging from the way he later narrates his experiences. Keller is highly cynical and dampens Paul’s enthusiasm by mocking him constantly- ‘you are spoilt, first you must learn to listen’. Not used to being critisised and having very disciplined lessons, Paul initially refers to Keller as a ‘Nazi’, failing to understand the word for what it really meant. Paul is frustrated by Keller’s methods; he patronises Paul by making him play pieces that are not challenging enough, such as The Children’s Bach.
The novel Lord of the Flies portrays an imbalance of power between characters, like Jack, Ralph, and Piggy. Throughout the novel, Jack and Ralph are constantly against Piggy because they believe they have a greater sense of authority. Piggy genuinely tries to help and give ideas but is always shut down because of the great imbalance of power between the boys. Jack additionally has no regard for Piggy's entitlement to speak and his tribe feels that anything Piggy says is humorous; they ponder "what amusing thing he may need to say.” Bullies most often tend to pick on the weaker children with poor self esteem or no way of defending themselves, thereby giving themselves more
