Geraldine Brooks explores how ignorance, superstition and hysteria can be as fatal as any plague within her novel ‘Year of Wonders’. During the trying year of the plague superstition, ignorance, and hysteria took over the village, causing people to make irrational accusations, decisions and behave immorally, turning against each other. Brooks explores how the plague acts as a catalyst effecting each of the villagers differently on a physical and emotional level.

Fear and anguish brought out some of the worst qualities in the villagers causing them to turn against one another creating anger, conflict and damage unto one another.

Therefore, the snake can represent Delia’s protector, sin, death, or devil but it most certainly is a mirrored reflection of Sykes. Sykes routinely shows his lack of respect for Delia. One morning Delia, sorting laundry and wondering where Sykes has gone with her horse, becomes paralyzed by fear when suddenly something “long, round, limp, and black falls upon her shoulders and slithers to the floor beside her.” Again Delia is reminded of what a malicious man Sykes can be. He uses a bullwhip to scare her; she believes it is a snake. Delia
In fact, as soon as she is alone with Betty and Mary Warren she fiercely warns them, “Let either of you breathe a word, or the edge of a word, about the other things, and I will come to you in the black of some terrible night and I will bring a pointy reckoning that will shudder you” (Abigail pg. 20); “Betty you never say that again!You will never—”(Abigail pg.19), her powerful intimidation strikes fear in the hearts of these Puritan girls by threatening them with bodily violence.

One part of the hippo's back has the outline of what looks like flowers in the blue copper salt decoration. The description of the piece informs that this type of sculpture was often mass-produced and placed in tombs as a reminder of the Egyptians' love of hunting. However, the legs of the hippos were broken to ensure they would be no threat in the afterlife. Apparently, herds of hippos were damaging to farmers' fields. The hippos became associated with chaos and the hunt for hippos became a metaphor for how the pharaohs could conquer evil.
Odd enough in Beowulf he fights three demons or monsters. This would imply that Beowulf is Jesus. Now if Grendel is all power he must be the anti Christ, and Grendel mother would be the opposite of God the Father, and finally the Dragon would have to be the unhallowed spirit. Rev 20:10 “The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.” In the book Beowulf we could relate this passage to Grendel’s mother being killed in her cave, which Beowulf swam through three days through and died
Through the analysis of Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible" and George Orwell's autobiographical recount "Shooting an Elephant", offer an insight to the concepts of belonging which are substainted through literary devices. Texts act as a memory of time capturing context in a creative manner. Belonging is at the heart of the human condition and thus composers explore this dynamic closely. Through Miller's own feelings of alienation during an American era engulfed in anti-communist hysteria, Miller noticed the same hysteria paralysing the town of Salem during the 1692 Salem Witch trails. The parallels between these two eras are striking and expose _________________________.

O Caesar, these things are beyond all use, and
