Mr. Martin, however, is aware of the trust his boss has on him and knows that no one would believe her and in return his boss would think she needs psychological help and fire her. Even though Mr. Martin’s mischievous scheme is a success; it is not a moral action to use one’s good reputation to hurt an individual. II. Mr. Martin is constantly irritated by Mrs. Barrows and in return he wishes to get rid of her annoyance. A.
Although Holden thinks his self-imposed alienation is helpful, he is wrong. It causes him to be an uncomfortable, unconnected person; he constantly reflects on how lonesome he feels. Holden is uptight on the topic of sex. He admits “sex is something I really don’t understand too hot” and that he is a virgin. He believes that if you don’t not having genuine, loving feelings towards a girl, you shouldn’t have sex with her.
Jack is realising that his lies are soon to be uncovered and that they may stop him from being able to marry Gwendolen, which is making him frustrated, so he is taking his frustration out on Algernon, because Jack thinks that it is his fault and he is the cause of the problem for bringing up the subject. Jack is being well mannered and polite when he says the line ‘It is a very ungentle-manly thing to read a private cigarette case.’ It also makes Jack a slightly sneaky, because he uses it to change the subject of the conversation by making Algernon feel bad and want to stop talking, or make him argue his case back, which also changes the subject. This shows how much Jack wants to change the topic and point suspicion away from him. The
The conviction with which he is able to designate Desdemona’s fidelity to a questionable stand underlines the reductive understanding of a woman’s character. There is an inherent inability among the male characters to understand Desdemona’s love for Othello, which ironically includes Othello himself. Brabantio disowns her for she goes against his presumptions of “what she feared to look on” [1.3.99] and is the
Lastly I think he feels rejection and thus is discouraged from further pursuing Daisy at great expenditure. 3.) He has just finished humiliating Gatsby. Daisy didn’t live up to Jay’s expectations.\, Tom’s just exposed him as a “bootlegger” of sorts, and he had just finished making a fool of himself “denying everything, defending his name against accusations that had not been made.” Tom is pretty confident Gatsby “realizes his presumptuous flirtation is over.” I think it further displays his arrogance. He seems satisfied with his victory.
Jack takes his anger out on Piggy, who stands in plain contrast to Jack’s character: “I’m scared of him…but if you stand out of the way he’d hurt the next thing. And that’s me” (Golding 93). Piggy handles this fear by avoiding Jack and remaining loyal to Ralph. Another fear that Piggy experiences is a fear of being ignored or shunned by others. Above all else, Piggy wants acknowledgement of his opinions and thoughts, as proven by his statement: “I got the conch…You let me speak!”(Golding 42).
Lieutenant Henry lies to Ms. Barkley, telling her that he loves her but she doesn’t end up really believing him anyways. Lieutenant could be getting himself into something bad for himself by saying such a thing. How is Catherine Barkley look at Lieutenant Henry when she knows that he’s lying? Catherine understands the concept that it’s impossible for one to fall in love with someone in such little time. Someone in Catherine Barkley’s situation has to be careful to get involved with someone that’s lying about their true feelings like Lieutenant Frederic
The ironic aspect of this statement is that Iago is definitely not a faithful servant to Othello, he is trying to destroy his life. Iago also explained his resentment towards Othello, in which he chose the ‘one Michael Cassio’ as his military deputy instead of Iago. Iago claims he's far more qualified than Cassio, who lacks Iago's experience on the field of battle. Iago seems quite jealous. Othello counts Iago as his wise and loyal so called ‘best friend’ ‘honest Iago’, Iago hides his true emotions and identity, acting duplicitous towards him without Othello even knowing.
He says that “ The things and the men that are pleasing to the gods are pious, and the things and the men that are displeasing to the gods are impious.” Socrates approves of this definition because it is of a very generalization. But he also states that Euthyphro’s definition has flaws because the gods would disagree on what is considered pleasing. Socrates’ case is that the gods are very irrational when it comes to arguments and disagreements. Normal rational people would find answers and come to a settlement on the correct answer, but when it comes to the gods any slight disagreement causes them to become enemies and angry towards each other. Socrates goes on to
-‘The motive-hunting of motiveless Malignity’ – Samuel Taylor Coleridge Iago: motiveless malignity? No, I do not agree with Coleridge’s statement that states Iago to be a motiveless malignity. I believe that he has one purpose, which is to exact revenge on Othello, yet he does not care as to who he hurts in the process. For this plot, he gives two reasons. Firstly, Iago is devastated by the fact that Othello promotes a younger, less experienced man by the name of Cassio even though he believes he is the rightful man for the post, ‘I know my price, I am worth no worse a place’, and from this point on he is hell bent to make Othello pay for this decision.
