Abigail was the kind of character that had a good mind but used it for the bad and not for the good. She is far superior to the other in the village intellectually and demonstrates this when she greedily persuades her fellow girlfriends to play along in her lies and hysteria. The lies about Elizabeth Proctor being a witch don’t pay off in the end because John Proctor testifies against her. This was something the he did not want to do because it made him look like he wasn’t the honest person everyone thought he was but he knew he had to do it for his and Elizabeth’s sake. Although John Proctor is executed, he went down knowing that he did what was right by choosing
Ishmael was a very disagreeable book with very few points to agree to. This essay will contain three major points in which there is nothing to agree about. The generalzation of people and cultures goes too far as to say that a group of people are all the same without a difference of where one or another is from. Who is to say that people are all the same whether or not you are from the Taker or Leaver time and culture. The story of the gods goes too far into being an opinion for one to be able to side with it.
His self-assured thought, that he is the best among the wine connoisseurs, makes him ignorant to the opinions of other people. He disregards and neglects any suggestions made by Montressor that Luchesi might be a better person to differentiate the wines. “And as for Luchesi, he cannot distinguish Sherry from Amontillado” writes author showing that not only that Fortunato insulted Luchesi, he kind of laughed at Montesor for deciding to go to Luchesi for advice (15). When Montresor suggested that Fortunato had a cold and it would be better for him not to go to the vaults, Fortunato forcefully made Montresor take him there. “The cold is merely nothing.
This represents her unawareness of the concept of faithfulness because if a few words are all it takes for one to persuade another into cheating, then one must not understand the whole point of marriage in the first place. To continue, Alison plots with Nicholas to have an affair “as soon an opportunity she could spy” (Chaucer 2). Unlike the promise of faithfulness the old lady in “The Wife of Bath’s Tale” makes, Alison willingly cheats. She shows her immaturity in not thinking of the repercussions of her actions and how they might affect those around her. In addition, Alison displays childish behavior in the adolescent actions she does towards Absalom by sticking her bottom out the window and him not realizing it was not her face, therefore kissing it.
This shows disloyalty towards his people who are very loyal to him. Through these points, it is evident that Odysseus lacks the necessary traits of a true hero. Superficially, his victories and valor make him seem as though he is heroic. Yet, the underlying issue is that Odysseus tends to be selfish, disloyal and cowardly. By the end of his journey the many occurrences of his flaws outshine his perceived heroic qualities.
All of these phrases illustrate Nick being unsure, which makes him a non omniscient narrator. Nick knows nothing more than we do in this novel, if not less. We cannot take what Nick says to be literal due to his indecrepancies as a narrator. He is not credible and since there are moments in the novel where Nick cannot be seen as credible, it makes the whole novel questionable because if he lies and alters his perception at certain moment, what’s to say he’s not that way all along. Nick sees Gatsby as a wonderful man who can do no wrong in his eyes.
Although the relationship can certainly be defined as abnormal, it can by no means be labeled a bond. Such a connotation would imply that the relationship encourages closeness. This assumption would be starkly incorrect. The connection formed is a situational one, not an intimate one. To makes matters worse, Darl already struggles to connect with his siblings intimately – due to the incompatibility of his mind with theirs – which defies the
For his part, Zuckerberg conducted himself with weak moral standing, having stolen a valuable idea and taken steps to register and launch it without stating his position to the Winklevosses. He countersued out of jurisdiction and misled during mediation, allowing the Winklevosses to enter into a financial settlement without having full access to financial records. However, Zuckerberg remains protected in all of these actions because he did not have a formal work agreement in
John cares about Tita, but it’s not enough to prevail over the unconditional passion that keeps Tita crazy over Pedro. Pedro is very much like a child and by no means is he an ideal husband. Pedro also makes a couple of decisions in his youth that seem stupid on the outside, but were made with good intentions. “When you’re told there’s no way you can marry the woman you love and your only hope of being near her is to marry her sister, wouldn’t you do the same..” Pedro’s decision to marry Tita’s older sister Rosaura was a very spontaneous thing to do. Although Pedro does marry Tita’s older sister Rosaura, he does so to be closer to Tita.
However, Kerouac doesn’t depict that in the theme of the story. Sal and Dean’s lifestyle was s more of a nomadic type. They never stayed in one spot, they kept moving from place to place until they ran out of places to go, or in this case ran out of money. Jack Kerouac’s emphasis on Dean and Sal’s lifestyle throughout the story fails to acknowledge the con of their lifestyle, and fails to stress the appalling effects it can have on a person. The use of drugs in the story is not thoroughly analyzed to show the terrible effects It causes.
