Bernadette Devlin once said, “To gain that which is worth having, it may be necessary to lose everything else.” He is saying that to achieve things of great value, it could be essential to sacrifice all other things. Authors often use this theme of loss in their literary works. This statement is supported by the novel, The Great Gatsby, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald and the dramatic play, “Macbeth,” written by William Shakespeare. These two works of literature support the quote through the use of characterization, conflict, and theme. Characterization refers to the techniques a writer uses to develop characters.

Shakespeare uses these words to differentiate and emphasize the differences between past, present and future, or to emphasize the truth about something. The word "nothing" is also important in the play, as it sparks those who hear it's thoughts about what matters and what does not. When the word "do" is used in the play, it is usually to emphasize a statement and make it seem more true. For example, Macbeth has said, "I do commend you", and "I do fear".
Crystal points out that texting is not the first advancement to have prophecies of doom to language. “Ever since the arrival of printing - thought to be the invention of the devil because it would put false opinions into peoples’ minds - people have been arguing that new technology would have disastrous consequences for language.
