The first reason is that because Abigail Williams is extremely manipulative and vindictive. Abigail tries to get Procter to pity her saying, “You loved me, John Proctor, and whatever sin it is, you love me yet! John, pity me, pity me!” (Miller 22). Abigail wants Procter to pity and give her what she wants, regardless that his wife caught them once and can catch them again. Another reason their relationship is dangerous is that if John Procter were to prosecute against Abigail Williams saying that she is in fact a witch, Abigail Williams could very easily tell the entire town that she and Procter have been having an affair to get revenge on him.
Avalon was a pretty, smart and kind girl so she was a definite threat to the popular girls. The popular girls (also known as ‘The bitches’) verbally bullied Avalon on a daily basis, but it didn’t end there. One would believe that your own home is the most peaceful and safest place, right? Wrong. For Avalon, she was also strongly cyber bullied by a group of people on multiple blog pages that were initially started by an anonymous under the username Dragon Girl.
I believe that Rosie is staring at him because she is trying to say something. I think that Rosie is telling Jacob that what she is about to do is all for Jacob, Marlena and herself. She knows how cruel August is to Marlena and She knows that he is not her friend. This gives her that extra urge to kill him because there is nothing, in that moment, which is going to stop her. Marlena and Jacob are her true friends to her and I think she would be willing to go to any distance to protect them, which she clearly does at the
Isobel realised that she must not spend her whole life trying to please people and should live it on her own terms, as life is too short and despite her difficult upbringing she can still turn it around. ‘’You are mortal, but you must live as though you are immortal- otherwise who would dare.’’ Nick’s girlfriend Diana also stimulates a change in Isobel. After Nick’s death Diana was a wreck and Isobel realises that her own life was heading in the same direction and that a serious change is needed if she is going to survive. She becomes aware that she has an ‘idiot in the attic’ (an inter-textual reference and a warning, to not follow in the same path of the misguided character also seen as Bertha Mason to Jane Eyre) that must be tamed if she is to progress. Isobel shared similar traits to Diana, her apartment was just as messy, she was always seeking the approval of others and was also psychotic which is displayed by her obscene prank phone-calls in which she would verbally abuse whoever was unfortunate enough to be on the other end of the line.
I think Ismene changed her mid because Antigone is her sister and you always stand up for family. She didn’t want to commit the crime because she was trying to talk Antigone out of doing the crime. In the end Ismene is the only one who lives and has a kind of guilt free life. She may not have family left besides Creon but at least she tried to save them. I think out all the characters she made the smarter choices and she thought about the consequences.
She was labeled nonathletic and was often the last pick for sport teams in her P.E. class, “Somebody’s got to take her.” Judith didn’t care for athletics but was embarrassed to be nonathletic. However, Judith learned to overcome this variable by portraying herself in her imagination as Wonderwoman, “I fantasized about scooping my enemies up by their hair from the playing fields and dumping them on a barren asteroid.” This is where Judith discovers one of the most pleasing ways to visualize her higher self-worth. In the real world, I’ve had my imaginations to where I fantasize myself as a higher being to overcome a certain filtration system that society has excluded me from. The strategy of fantasizing is an effective way of overcoming the barriers that society places us
Mildred said, when Montag was reading books, “Beatty, he’ll come in, and burn us and the books!” (Bradbury, 68). By Mildred saying that Beatty would burn his co-worker, and friend, with his wife, over a book, is very inhumane. Although books are illegal, taking a torch to someone is not a fair way to punish a person. Beatty is even more inhumane and cruel when he lights the match, and starts the fire to the woman with all her books. Beatty had no problem with burning the old woman, and her precious books, because he ignited the flame.
She knows that she is going to die but she wants to die pure, without the moraphine in her system, It’s when you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what” Mrs Dubose ends up dying but she did what she thought was right and she followed through with her self commitment even though she knew she was “liked to begin with”. Atticus would rather that people fought without weapons and instead used their knowledge and the truth to overcome problems, “Try fighting with your head for a change it’s a good one even if it does resist learning” 76 explains that using your head to fight is a better methos than to use force or weapons of any
170) the tone of the quotation, she was still using him and tried to convinced him to trust her again, but instead, Miro chose not to trust her ever again. Miro hated her since the day she tried to get out of the bridge. Moreover, Kate was playing mind games with Miro, on (pg. 218) she said, “ … You're alone. Alone in the world out there.
When she meets up with Adam near the beginning, you'd never even begin to predict what would happen throughout the entire book. What makes it sad though, is toward the end it seems like she can't find anyone to rely on because she's disconnected herself from her family and friends, and instead takes refuge beneath the wings of 'the monster', letting it guide her through, knowing she's strongly addicted. Ellen leaves you with the knowledge that she may never get off her addiction, and partially with the moral of the story: drugs are addictive and harmful. They can really mess you up. The book actually makes you learn a lesson, without knowing anything at all.
