Laertes tries to caution his sister to “ … Keep within the rear of your affection…” He tells her if she gives into her desire, she will only get hurt in the end. Polonius’ advice is different from Laertes, as where Laertes is looking out for his sister because he loves, when Polonius is only looking out for himself. Polonius calls Ophelia naïve, he says that Ophelia does not understand pediment that she have gotten her self-involved in. Polonius tells Ophelia that she should not believe the promises Hamlet has made for her, that he is deceiving her by swearing his love, his vows “ …they are brokers, Not of that dye which their investments shows...” they are not as wholesome as they appear. Polonius forbids Ophelia to see Hamlet
Different events throughout the play lead these relationships to change, and lead both Romeo and Juliet to distrust their parental figures. For example when the Nurse, whom Juliet trusts deeply, refers to Romeo as a “dishclout” despite knowing that he is Juliet’s husband, this then leads Juliet to distrust the Nurse. When Capulet’s “fingers itch” after Juliet has disobeyed him, this could also be seen as failure on Capulet’s part to be a good parent. Some may argue that these events are examples of how Romeo and Juliet are failed by their parents and parental figures. In Act 3 scene 5 it could be argued that Juliet is failed by both her parents.
When two people marry it should be because they love each other not because of money and the pressures from you family. F. Scott Fitzgerald describes the lives of Daisy and Tom Buchanan and also Daisy’s former lover, Jay Gatsby.

Teirsias’s observation.. In Teirsias’s observation he saying that it’s a moral crime to make a mistake and to have your mistake lead to something worse and you do nothing to fix it. It’s true, if you tell a lie and it makes into a bigger lie and someone is suffering from it and you do nothing about it you’re not a good person and Teiresias would also say you’re a not a good person. And if you lose your pride by fixing what you did wrong that is just one of the consequences that comes along with it. But it also depends on what your actions were, like if it was a lie and you fixed it I personally would say you’re a good person for fixing it, but if you killed someone and then you try to fix it I would say your still a bad person even if you’re
Tom is portrayed in an extremely negative light throughout the novel; is this fair? Tom and Gatsby are each others love rivals in the book, they both vie for Tom’s wife Daisy whom Gatsby met before Tom and fell in mutual love with. However since Gatsby went to war, Daisy married Tom and it is clear that they have or had strong feelings for one another despite Toms extramarital affair and Daisy’s. The actions of the book show the moral difference between Gatsby and Tom, Tom is portrayed in a negative light, for an example bringing up the racist book by Goddard (Though this may have been more acceptable in the 1920’s) and being very open about his affair with Myrtle. Gatsby however is shown more positively even though he represents everything that Nick, our narrator, is not.
Edna’s character abandons her role as a mother and wife; she breaks moral values and standards because of the intimate love affair she shares with Robert, therefore leading to the struggles she faces in the novel where she failed. Moral characters say more about a person than the background of an individual and play an important role in one’s life. When disregarded it can bring shame and conflict to a family differentiating a person to be good or bad. The concept of good and evil differs from one person to another, but certainly, a married woman who loves another man apart from her husband and acts upon that love is sinful. When the story begins Chopin’s description of Edna makes it look like she is the antagonist of the novel, when Mr. Pontellier was sitting on the
Another way the poet shows that the relationship isn’t a very loving one is that he says “’Not near, not near!’ her eyes beseech”, this means that she begs him to stay away from her so therefore the relationship can’t be that good.”I’ve hardly heard he speak at all “is another good indicator that it’s a one sided relationship as to even have a friendship you have to talk to the other person. Despite all of this at the start of the poem it says “I chose a maid“ which gives the impression that he wasn’t interested in romance only lust and her good looks but now he has fallen in love with her but she doesn’t feel the same way towards him. The manhunt In this poem the relationship portrayed is a lost love that was once there a long time ago and is now trying to be rekindled. An example of this is “After the first phase after passionate night and intimate days” this shows that there have been stages to their relationship and at the very start it was good as they had both physical and emotional attraction and love for each other but they are now at a not so good stage of their relationship. Another example of this “the frozen river which ran through his face” this is a metaphor for him being emotionless so he doesn’t show affection towards her.
Peace-keeping lies are lies told to avoid argument or problems and keep harm away from everyone. Viorst says "I tell these lies at times, and yet I always feel they're wrong. I understand why we tell them, but still they feel wrong." I agree with her because I find myself doing the same thing and end up feeling guilty as if I'm doing something I normally wouldn't do. If one had plans doing something or needs to be somewhere and they didn't make it or do what they were supposed to do, of course they are going to lie and make up some sort of excuse, that's just being
Before this line, Jordan remarks that she’s “never seen a girl so mad about her husband,” it’s more like Daisy was mad with worry that her husband was off with some other woman. That’s why she would look “uneasy” when he wasn’t around, because she knew of the possibility. Daisy, entirely aware of her husband’s infidelities does nothing to stop them yet she complains that she is unhappy. She has no right to do so seeing as she had the choice of not marring Tom but
When I criticize and attack myself, it is because knowing I failed makes me think about if i had tried harder then it would have made a difference. Negative self concept is often hidden from the world because we are suppose to perceive ourself with positivity in order to be accepted but that can change. Self concept is basically the beliefs and attitudes we role play in our lives. In How to Improve Your Self Concept, it mentions “your attitudes about yourself may be positive for some roles, and not so positive for others”. There will always be negative views because we do not live even near a Utopia society and we cannot please everybody.
