Falstaff is an extreme example of a man with no shame, no honour, and no respect. On the other end of the spectrum is Hotspur, a man with so much pride and honour that he would rather be on the battlefield than in bed with his own wife. It is a balance between these two influences that develop the perfect leadership qualities in Prince Hal. At the end of the play, Prince Hal stands before his father and proves to his kingdom that, through the influences of Falstaff and Hotspur, he is worthy of being the heir to the throne. Throughout the beginning of the play, King Henry IV speaks very poorly and ill of his son, Prince Hal.
Truth be told, I feel the whole battle is symbolic for his overall battle with morality. It was a Beowulf that was never shown before in the text, a completely human figure. Something more was lying in this battle; Beowulf showed anxiety before the battle and was “sensing his death.” (165, line 2419), showing his human-like sense of fear. Beowulf was being challenged by something larger than he ever had before and was aware of his chances of falling. He was at a point where his challenge was not the actual battle but recognizing that it was the end, “; what was is no more.” (167, line 2458); Beowulf was faced with human challenges as to challenges of a warrior which makes me feel like the whole battle was a battle within himself.
At The Heart of conflict is fear When conflict erupts it can devastate individuals and community’s. It fractures families and causes long-standing animosity between nations and states.

This builds up a sense of danger in the reader and makes them feel fearful of what may happen to Atticus and what his children may think of him after the incident. It is a reason why Atticus was hesitant before shooting Tim Johnson; he didn’t want to do a violent act in front of his children. The use of tense dialogue is also effective as it is one of the rare moments in the novel when Lee shows Atticus being nervous, which makes the passage more alarming. Furthermore, Lee builds up an increasingly uneasy atmosphere through Scout's narrative. "Time had slowed to a nauseating crawl."
The subconscious mind is our survival mechanism; it will automatically create our fight or flight in motion. Although we are mainly discussing the ill effects of stress, we also need a certain amount in our lives in order for us to perform correctly, or individuals would not be motivated to do anything. However chronic stress that occurs when a person is under constant stress over a long period of time is responsible for many emotional and physical difficulties. The term "stress", as it is currently used was coined by Hans Selye in 1936, who defined the function as "the non-specific response of the body to any demand for change". It can also be defined as a negative emotional experience resulting from a person feeling a mismatch between the environment and their ability to cope with that environment.
“Shaking in every limb, I groped my way back to the wall- resolving there to perish rather than risk the terrors of the wells, of which my imagination now pictured many in various positions about the dungeon” (Poe, Pit 3). The narrator is frightened of what might happen to him while in the dungeon. He is in fact so frightened that in his imagination there have already been thoughts about what might happen to him if he is held captive any longer. “The disease sharpened my senses – not destroyed – not dulled them” (Poe, Heart 657). The eye symbolizes having an eye for the ultimate truth; with the ultimate truth the narrator can calmly tell the readers the whole story (Ki, 2).
Love can overcome the heart and brain and drive a person to do things they would never do. But fear is always there. Every person knows fear. In literature such as Macbeth and Antigone and in the Napoleonic era fear helps readers understand a situation or character. This is because it is a motivator, a force behind the actions of any living thing.
The series of difficult situations the characters go trough in the novel, allows the author to portray various social comments.
