Furthermore, Gallimard knows that “this little flower was waiting for [him] to call, and, as [he] wickedly refused to do so, [he] felt for the first time that rush of power – the absolute power of a man” (28). He once again intentionally acts “wicked” towards Song to demonstrate that he has the freedom to purposefully act cruel towards her. Also, Gallimard seems to be stoic towards Song’s emotions and

However, the idea of women being unequal to men is quickly dispelled by Webster who appears to mock the misogynistic characters of the play and indeed, very possibly the misogyny of society as a whole at the time. This is most apparent through his evolution of Vittoria as a character and also a symbol of the downfall of sexism. This is most striking when considering Flamineo’s comment that “[perfumes, when chafed] expresseth virtue, fully, whether true, or else adulterate.” Portraying a key theme throughout the play of a true nature disguised beneath a thin veneer of sweet nothings. This facade of Vittoria’s is first revealed to the audience through her manipulation of Bracciano in her dream sequence. Whereby her constant play on the word “yew/you” (“both were
'and I couldn't stay and keep on lying. As soon as I could walk... i left.' Sheila's attempts to avoid conflict, and by default avoid Bridie, in turn creates a worse situation when they reunite. This visually shows how lying, in this case through eluding the issue, can create conflict and drama that can only be resolved through the confrontation that was the cause of the commotion. The desperation of the imagery is parallel to the desperation Sheila and Bridie felt in their time in the camp, this makes the audience sympathetic towards the situation and realise the severity of Sheila's feelings about her actions.
Dimmesdale is just too weak and good-natured to shoulder the kind of blame he is foisting upon himself.He tried to hide his sin and guilt but, his heart literally weakened, and he died. 1a) "Poor, miserable man! what right had infirmity like his to burden itself with crime? Crime is for the iron-nerved, who have their choice either to endure it, or, if it press too hard, to exert their fierce and savage strength for a good purpose, and fling it off at once!” Pg.172 Do not be a hypocrite. Do not put a false point to the world to make it seem like you have no faults.
James Gibbons Huneker was the first to express his negative attitude towards Coney Island. He regarded it as “a disgrace to our civilization” and that “when you are at Coney you cast aside your hampering reason and become a plain lunatic” (96). What makes his review most interesting is that he thoroughly enjoyed his visit to Coney Island but was apparently astonished by the inappropriate behavior taking place. However, the critics that had a negative connotation towards Coney Island were not understanding that this was the point of it. People did not encounter the types of foolishness

Even the suppliers of sunbeds are disparaged by being made to seem as though they are preying on gullible customers. The bottom line is not to have anything to do with artificial tanning as it is bad for the health, addictive and makes a person foolishly self-absorbed. ?? ?? ??
Augustine believed that addiction was excessively evil, and as well as being a sin, conflicted with the process of free will. If someone addicted to alcohol or gambling whishes to exercise their free will and stop drinking or betting they often times cannot. This is, in effect, taking away their God given free will. Addiction today is deemed “evil” and accepting a higher power is often a step in overcoming addiction, showing testament to Augustine’s belief that an absence of God is what caused evil. Furthermore, Augustine believed that any misuse of free will was also inherently evil, the good use of free will is often called good will by
