The danger that unsuspecting women and children would undergo would be too much for a man to worry about. “Abruptly I stopped short” and he says that his first instinct was that “[he] would go [his]” way ( ). He soon knew that was not an option and that he must kill this living creature. As the battle began, the snake “held his ground” while the man left for a short while, only to go to the “ranch house, get a hoe, and [return] ( ). The diction is written very well to point out what the man is feeling and helps the reader to infer just what the snake was emoting as
Through descriptions of the chivalrous snake, the conflicted man and the twilit setting, the author creates sympathy for the rattler and feelings of anger, pity, and disappointment for the man. When the author describes the
That is insane, and alcohol is the reason? No, there is no such thing as murdering a cat that you love and kill for no reason. He then goes on to express his feelings that he hung it because he “had knew that It had loved” him and “ felt it had given no reason of offence” and hung it because he knew that in doing so he was committing a sin. If you know right from wrong there are no ifs and or buts, therefore this guy is not in his right mind whether its due to his alcoholism or not. The black cat is a good example of how insanity leads to destruction and illustrates very
When Golding describes Ralph, he mentions the ‘snake-clasp’ on his belt. Often, snakes symbolise slyness, betrayal and temptation, so perhaps Golding is foreshadowing behaviour of Ralph later in the book. At the start of the Chapter, Ralph thinks the island will just be a great adventure and is thrilled there are no adults around. We know this as he ‘stood on his head and grinned at the reversed fat boy (and said) “No grown-ups!”’ But as he realises they could be stuck on the island forever, he pulls himself together and organises the meeting, which results in him becoming a worthy, democratic leader. Jack is more serious about the island from the start, as the first thing he says is “Where’s the man with the trumpet?”.The fact that he says ‘man’ shows that he is expecting there to be adults around and when he finds out there aren’t any, he realistically says “Then we’ll have to look after ourselves”.
The author uses different settings throughout the novel in order to develop Antonio's sense of good and evil. To illustrate an example of Antonio developing a sense of good and evil, Anaya describes a place called Rosie’s, the local whorehouse where men go to have fun. Instead of thinking about Rosie’s as fun, Antonio believes that Rosie’s tempted his brothers and was the cause of their sins. In one of Antonio’s dreams about his brothers, he saw, “Three dark figures silently beckoned me to follow them. .
Mercutio joins in the conversation and says “O calm, dishonorable, vile submission! ‘Alla stoccata’ carries it away.” This quote suggests that Mercutio gets in a very bad mood because his friend Romeo got insulted badly and, Mercutio seeing his friend doing nothing makes him look awful. So he is drawing his sword. Tybalt also draws his sword and says “I am for you!” This quote suggests that Tybalt doesn’t like to be embarrassed or get insulted and wants a challenge.
As Delia states, “whatever goes over the Devil’s back, is got to come under his belly.” Maybe if Sykes were a faithful man and not so abusive, he would not be in the mess he is in now. Ironically Sykes having brought the snake home to kill Delia leads to his own demise. Therefore, the snake is not only Sykes but also Delia Jones’ protector in Zora Neale Hurston’s “Sweat”. “Sweat” is a perfect example of the sins that are committed will sooner or later be the death of those committing them. Sykes calls out to God in the end; however it is the Devil who seems to have a hold on
He also references Tarquin, a Roman tyrant, and his wolf, an animal that would alert him to any danger or threat. Macbeth’s conscience is growing more and more powerful causing him to grow ambivalent about his plan to murder Duncan. It is important to remember that at the beginning of the play, Macbeth was an honorable man who loved and respected his king, so this circumstance is extremely new to him. This soliloquy in which he deliberates over the plan shows the internal struggle that he has. He knows that what he is about to do is horrifying, which is why he implies all those evil images in the passage.
In the play Hamlet acts mad. He is not crazy however but is merely pretending to be. Before he begins this act he tells Horatio and Marcellus what he is about to do. Polonius notices that there is too much sense in Hamlets charade for him to be truly crazy. Hamlet makes sure his uncle is guilty of murder before enacting his revenge.
After he hears that he will become king he feels the need to make it come true, even if it means killing Duncan. At this point Macbeth is only toying with the idea of murder, showing that he is not completely corrupted by the witches’ evil ways. Darkness, like a disease, spreads quickly throughout Macbeth; the only cure for the disease is a sound
