Dimmesdale is forced to hide his identity as the father of Pearl, the daughter of Dimmesdale and Hester, to not compromise Hester’s bold attempt to keep his paternal connection secret. He is affected psychologically and his anguish deepens as the story progresses; no help to Chillingworth, the real father (what a love triangle, eh? ), who is stoking Dimmesdale’s psychological suffering as if it were a camp fire that keeps him happy and warm. Dimmesdale’s psychological affliction also makes him live in physiological agony as seen by the “paleness of his cheeks” (99) and his “troublesome chest cavity” (187). Because Dimmesdale hides his shame by trying to appear collected towards the community, he “burns in secret” (159) which leads to the climax of his trouble a top the scaffolding where he finally lets out the guilt he has been hiding and falls
When Gatsby attempts to regain the past by persuading Daisy to tell Tom she doesn't love him, Tom destroys Gatsby's dream. By having the more recent past, Tom reminds Daisy of the good times they have had together and causes her to no longer think of leaving him. He also has knowledge of Gatsby's illegal dealings, something that he knows will upset Daisy, and he knows will strengthen his cause against Gatsby. 'The Great Gatsby' is effectively based on the past, and memories. In the last page of the novel, Nick contemplates human nature, and we learn a little of why Fitzgerald has written the book in this way, and why, in his opinion, we struggle so in life.
1st Para First of all, it is the support presented by the guide figure that assists the hero. BNW: John is in extreme danger as a group of Deltas are ganging up on him due to his revealing of his rebellion against the society by throwing away the somas. Luckily Helmholtz comes to help: "Helmholtz Watson pushed his way through the crowd" (Huxley 195). This shows how Helmholtz was willing to risk himself and yet provide physical support for John. Toronto at Dreamer's Rock: Rusty exposes how stressful his life is during his conversation with Michael and Keesic.

Elizabeth sees his inner goodness shine when he refuses to lie about being involved in witchcraft, and she realizes how unfair she has been. John Proctor saves the lives of the others who are accused when he unselfishly declines to save his own. He acts as a martyr when he places others before himself. He would rather die an honorable death than live a dishonorable life, which is what precedes him to be the tragic hero of the play. John Proctor, being a very complex character stuck in a world full mischief, madness, and chaos shows a major change as the play unfolds.
Although constant evil swirls around Bruno, he is able to hang on to his innocence, which shields him from the knowledge of the situation he is in, but ultimately leads to his and Shmuel’s downfall. Bruno’s innocence becomes quite apparent throughout the course of the novel. He portrays this childish innocence through his lack of understanding on many of the changes that have been happening in his life. Bruno portrays this quite clearly by asking his father : "Did you do something bad in work? I know that everyone says you're an important man and that the Fury has big things in mind for you, but he'd hardly send you to a place like this if you hadn't done something that he wanted to punish you for."
Sedaris also uses hyperboles to enhance the humor and drama in his writings. One instance of hyperbole is in “Go Carolina,” when he states, “the word therapy suggested a profound failure on my part.” Obviously, he is exaggerating the fact that therapy was a “profound failure,” adding to his intended drama. Also, in “In the Waiting Room,” when he is describing his experience, it is an exaggeration to have the thought of suicide at the moment. But the use of hyperboles in this case works, because the exaggeration of certain things provides comedy for the reader. Sedaris also makes use of rhetorical questioning.
Michael Penrose, a fair, non-racist character, offers refuge in his home to Mitsy and Sadako as they were treated barbarically by the general public of the town. He later despises Mitsy and Sadako due to the constant mutterings of the war. In a radio announcemet, the presenter alleges that ‘Japan is not interested in peaceful co-existence with Australia’. This misleading information was just one of the many supplied to the whites. Michael continued to offer sanctuary for Mitsy and Sadako which shows great generosity in the act of true friendship during the heightening tension of the war.
Mr. Utterson likes this letter because it says that his friend Dr. Jekyll is not blackmailed and the evil person Mr. Hyde will not distract Dr. Jekyll again. Also Mr. Utterson feels guilty and blames himself for his past suspicions, for Mr. Hyde does not intend to blackmail Dr. Jekyll at all. By contrast, Mr. Hyde fully realizes his unworthiness of inheriting Dr. Jekyll’s properties. However, Mr. Utterson is upset with the fact that the letter was from Dr. Jekyll as well after he lets his clerk compare the letter with Jekyll’s own handwriting. His interest and involvement in Dr. Jekyll’s affair contradict with the introduction of his personality in the very beginning of the book, which shows his indifference toward immorality and lack of social skill.
His continuous irony throughout “A Modest Proposal” allows him to indirectly present his proposition, which is mostly confusing until the reader becomes educated with his style of writing. By choosing to use irony so often in his essay, Swift is able to illustrate to his audience just how extreme Ireland’s poverty conditions have gotten. With his use of sarcasm, Swift creates the impression that he is truly sincere and sympathetic towards the poor families who are constantly begging, but behind his satirical intentions he is actually meaning the opposite. Frequently in his essay, he portrayed irony when describing his “modest” proposal, that the carcass of one year olds would be profitable. Swift emphasizes his proposal’s advantage of preventing abortions, then clearly conveys irony when he contradicts this benefit three paragraphs later by reassuring his audience that he has been informed a “well-nursed” child “…is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled…”(Swift 1026).
