From this time forth I never will speak words”. This last line of his does not reveal his motive for his deceptive ways. The fact that he “will never speak words” shows his deliberate silence. His lack of guilt and remorse, which is said to be of “devilish and evil” behaviour, is also evident in this text as he does not apologise for his actions, making his behaviour more terrifying. Iago’s emptiness of purpose, along with his lack of remorse, shows how different he is from the human race and how he bears no human emotional qualities, which therefore sets him apart from society and makes him an
Cross is most angered with Kiowa’s death because he was a good person and that it was him to blame for picking a bad spot to set up camp. Jimmy Cross does not care about the war and has no desire of being a team leader. He has no ambition of being in the war, he just wants to get through it and receive his credits. He is too paranoid about Martha to be fighting in a war. He is always thinking about if she has boyfriends or if she is still a virgin.
It’s so cold and dark in here and I feel alone. Sitting here made me wonder if you ever really loved me but after reading your letter I know that you do. You’re just a man John, a man that made a mistake. I always thought you were too hard on yourself but you just need to realize that nobody’s perfect. I know that you’ll find a way to get me out of here John, to prove to the people that I am innocent and so are the others.
He's my son! He'd rather see these no-good punks than his own mother? You scum…” Mrs. Cade. The reason for his low self-esteem and him losing his innocence by killing Bob is because he has to deal with lack of parental love. The extent of your loss of innocence also depends on the environment you are raised in.
We know that the American dream never comes true because he goes on to say 'An never a God damn one of them ever gets it.' This shows that it is a definite dream, thus conveying the theme of dream vs reality. The word 'never' shows that it is impossible. It makes the reader start to question George and Lennies ambitions. Also it makes the reader feel pity for them and shows how hard life would have been for
His sense of pride prevented him from admitting to the adultery. Thus, the town did not understand Abigail’s motivation as did Proctor. He could have also prevented his demise if he had chosen to sign the paper. However, he feels that his name is “not worth the dust on the feet of them that hang” and chooses death over humility. This play exhibits tragedy because, though Proctor had many opportunities to change his fate, he chooses his demise because his tragic flaw prohibits him from doing otherwise.
And in essence he became a self-fulfilling prophecy. His society declared homosexuals “incapable of forming satisfying relationships” (Duberman 27), Duberman believed conversion by psychotherapy was his only hope for happiness, and ultimately he was unable to stay committed to his relationships. He would give in to his homosexual desires for a night, seek therapy for his ‘sickness’ the next day, and deny himself the happiness he felt the night before, ergo hell in letting other
The women noticed that trifle, but the men were too busy looking at the dead body and making inferences about how Mr. Wright was killed that they overlooked the similar knotting of the quilt and of the rope around Mr. Wright's neck. At this point the women realize that Mrs. Wright has killed her husband, but do not want to break their alliance and turn her in. Both Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Wright could not believe what they have discovered. The two women have hidden the evidence to protect Mrs. Wright because they imagine themselves in her place and understood the hard life of Minnie Foster. Also the men who were trying to solve the case thought they were superior to women - in general men of that time, where women were not heard and had no rights (to vote, to buy a house, to get
After reading over Sophocles’ Antigone, I would say that it is Antigone’s tragedy. When I say tragedy I mean it is a situation that starts with difficult making decisions and ends with suffering and pain. That being said, I would say that it isn’t only Antigone’s tragedy, but Creon’s as well. Antigone’s tragedy lead her uncle to face a difficult decision. He is stuck between a rock and a hard place, either to uphold the law by killing one of his own family, or punish Antigone less severely to show that he isn’t serious about death being a punishment and apart of his law.
However, I am sure he would not want the bullying gene. “The child still struggle, and loaded me with epithets which carried despair to my heart: I grasped his throat to silence him, and in a moment he lay dead at my feet” (Shelley 102). Sadly, something so fascinating turned into something murderous because of his appearance “can you wonder that such thoughts transported me with rage? I only wonder that at that moment, instead of venting my sensations in exclamations and agony. I did not rush among mankind, and perish in the
