He is complicit in Dwight’s attempt to lure Rosemary; he finds that they are too deeply entwined to stop the prevent carnage. Dwight’s attempts to “improve” Toby and turn him into a “man”, highlight the extreme vulnerability and sense of powerlessness that pervade many of the surrogate father figures in the novel. Dwight constantly sets him up for ridicule. For example, he makes him “shuck” horse chestnuts without gloves, which is an incredibly difficult task. His fingers become covered with a yellow stain and people think that he is hygienically unclean.
In Counterparts, Farrington’s world is a world full of adversity no doubt. In a day, Farrington’s adversity stretches from Farrington’s monotonous job and arrogant boss to his ridiculous drinking habits. The adversity of the day converts to anger that Farrington brings home to his family. Therefore, Counterparts illustrates to me that adversity in Farrington’s life consumed him, shaping his identity negatively. Farrington’s most striking adversity and as it looks, the source of adversity
Similarly, the title “Give” suggests an attitude. The word could be interpreted as an aggressive demand or a cry for help. In the poem the character is both hostile and pleading in a desperate attempt to get attention because of the way in which he feels he has been ignored by society. Although both poems feature characters shunned by society they are written from contrasting points of view. ‘The Clown Punk’ is written from the view point of a father who is driving “home” through the “shonky” part of town.

Avoid plot summary. Heathcliff’s actions could be considered evil and immoral, but it is through his past struggles and his never-ending love for Catherine that an audience is able to relate and sympathies with this ironic hero. In Wuthering heights opening chapters we are introduced to Heathcliff; a bitter and lonely old man. It is unclear to readers why or how Heathcliff came to behave the way he does. Through Nelly’s story we learn of his struggles, and at times feel sympathy for him.
Alienation Holden Caulfield, an interesting man, shows that many people show phoniness and how Holden despises them to a point where he alienates them. This book shows many themes, one of them being revolving around alienation and phoniness. J.D. Salinger’s masterpiece The Catcher in the Rye shows throughout the book that Holden alienates himself from other people because he fears the phoniness of adults. Stradlater, Holden’s roommate, shows phoniness by how he is a “secret slob” also how it annoys Holden to where he gets into a fight with Stradlater over his sloppiness with Jane, which leads Holden to alienating him.
Dead man walking 1) I thought that Matthew Poncelet is quite a tough character, I didn’t really like him as I thought some of his words and actions were quite nasty and hash. I did feel a little sorry for him as I thought that maybe he wasn’t much of a nice person because he could have had a tough up bringing which may have left him to look after himself which could of made him tough. I also felt sorry for him when he was saying his goodbyes to his mum and little brother and when he admitted his crimes because I thought that he was sorry and sad, I think that Helen decided to help him because she is a nice genuine character and wants to help people but I didn’t think she particularly liked him. 2) I still didn’t change my view about him after he confessed as he still was a horrible man but I did feel for him as I felt that as he admitted it he realized how bad his crimes were and who/how they hurt people.
Not belonging also occurs a lot, like when people get removed from where they feel comfortable, which you also see occur throughout the play. A sense of belonging and not belonging is shown in act one.

Parris tends to isolate himself and not let people in.

Mr. Gatsby really does not have any real friends, just people flocking to him to live off of his fortune.
Beals in comparison ends with insecurities and he is starting to question himself as a human being and not being able to see his own value in the world. Reading about people going to situations like that make me sad and mad at the same time. People being judged and having to struggle in life because of often unchangeable reasons is a problem that still exists. At the same time I am glad to see that people are willing to go against the stream in otder to cause something good as Griffins end of the story potrays. I think either still story represents our lives nowadays in some way.
