In the first verse the lyric “She dreamt of para-para-paradise” appeared. This fits Jane perfectly because of her imagination and fascination with mythical and paranormal creatures. It would stand for her day dreaming, about how she would imagine ghosts and see herself differently in a mirror to be able to escape from reality. In the 6th verse the line “I know the sun must set to rise” refers to someone knowing that life has to get worse to be able to get better. This applies to Jane's life when her home life wasn't great and it just kept getting worse, until she got to go to Lowood and she liked Lowood more then home.

Edna’s life which contains of unhappy marriage, adultery affair, and a force to be mother woman creates a complex character and problem, and somehow a metaphor of life and death contemplates her life in the story.
Maria Teresa's style of punctuating her diary narrative with exclamations continues throughout this chapter. In Chapter 10, Patria compared Captain Pena to the devil, but now that he has maneuvered things so that Minerva and Maria Teresa could be released from prison, he is compared to God. While Minerva compares Captain Pena to God in that he hands down commandments, she also breaks from the theme of comparing Trujillo to God and instead compares him to the devil.

Connie's youth and vanity, coupled with her antagonistic relationship with the members of her family, effectively set the stage for her seduction by the older Arnold Friend. 3) In Flannery O'Connor's "Good Country People," the cynical, rude, and world-weary Hulga believes herself to be on such a high philosophical and intellectual plane that she is without illusion.
The composition is about two sisters 'one who falls and the other who saves'[2]. Laura becomes addicted to some poisoned fruits offered by obscure creatures, the goblins, and soon she will get sick and hopeless about her future.
