I can’t help what’s past.’ She began to sob helplessly. ‘I did love him once — but I loved you too.’” (140) Gatsby expects that Daisy will be happy to leave Tom behind and break off her marriage with him. Gatsby's dream has been to build a fortune and reclaim the love that he once lost because, as he sees it, he was too poor for Daisy when they first met. This proves my claim because this displays, in Daisy’s words, that Gatsby did expect too much, he expected for her to make a big deal in front of Tom. This proves my thesis because we can see that he expects a lot of Daisy.
It’s a sad story between the life of brother’s pride and the death of his brother. In addition, love is accepting and compassionate in its nature, but brother's love for Doodle is challenged by two very human failings: pride, and the cruelty that results from it. Moreover, it’s nice to be proud of people we care about, but pride can be harmful to them if we push them into doing things that are not in their best
On one occasion, he almost turned Jim in until he heard him say, “Dah you goes, de ole true Huck; de on'y white genlman dat ever kep' his promise to ole Jim (Twain 810). The social morals at the time made Huck think he was a bad person for not turning in a runaway slave like he was expected to. Throughout the book, Huck no longer uses societies morals in order to keep Jim safe. Huck creates his own set of morals to keep his “family”
Do not put a false point to the world to make it seem like you have no faults. It is ok to let others see you are not perfect. 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
This is because of the way Dimmesdale acts after his sins. He has realized what he has done and he tries to purify himself, but goes about it the wrong way. And yes, Dimmesdale lets Hester suffer alone most of her life because he does not confess, but at least he had guilt for it and he suffers in his own way. Chillingworth makes Dimmesdale suffer greatly during his life and he feels fulfilled by that because he is doing what he set out to do, to make him suffer and feel terrible for what he has done. And by masking his identity, he makes Dimmesdale wonder why he would want to do this to him.
Shmuel’s hatred of the soldiers is finally justified, and to Bruno, a boy who idolized soldiers, such as his father, the abusive soldiers were anything but idols. Bruno then comments that he “doesn’t like it here”, to which Shmuel replies “neither do I” (page 208) It is at this point in the story that the reader realizes how innocent Shmuel is. Although Bruno has been shielded by his parents, Shmuel has had to experience hardship and suffering, giving him the image of a child who had forgone his innocence. However, like Bruno, Shmuel is unaware of the situation he is in, which is shown when he
Then Ralph gets depressed again and needs piggy to cheer him up with a good idea that might help them get rescued. This shows that Ralph is a failure as a leader because there is someone else that more capable of being a leader and needs no help getting out of
This though is invalid and not true because sin comes out of happiness and Dimmesdale does this for the joy of his heart. He does not intend to hurt anyone he only seeks to be happy but he simply isn’t “man enough” to step up. Chillingworth has the greatest sin because he seeks his revenge which has blinded him. He intends on harming others and putting Dimmesdale in a miserable slow death. Sin is a crime caused by wanting joy but Chillingworth is not like that.
He is so obsessed hat he is willing to break up a family just to have his love. In Gatsby’s mind, he might believe that he is truly in love. However, in reality, its not love but is his obsession. He gathered all his wealth, power, and possessions just to impress Daisy. He intentionally bought a house in West Egg just so he can be close to Daisy and watch her every night.
The issue of want, ignorance and redemption within a Victoria society are highlighted in Charles Dickens’s “ A Christmas Carol”. Ebenezer Scrooge’s transformation from a tight fisted man to one of a tender nature is successful through the author’s use of four phantoms. Jacob Marley, the antagonist’s deceased business partner is the first of the spirits to haunt Scrooge. Marley warns Scrooge of the inevitable fate that awaits him. Shaken by the warning of Marley’s ghost, the Ghost of Christmas Past illustrates to Scrooge what his greed has cost him.
