These two men are the first to come to mind when I think of the founding of our Nation. I feel that they shaped the United States into what it is today. Although we have strayed away from their idea of what the nation should be and stand for they without a doubt put their stamp on the World. “In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war.” [ (Beschloss, 2009) ] Choosing only five presidents for my bottom five proved to be a harder task then I had thought. At the top of my bottom five I would have to put George W. Bush in the number one slot.
Lying drove away the sympathy from his colleagues, and aroused resentment. Thirdly, Paul allowed his wife creating disturbance in the company, spreading his abnormal behavior at home and caused him in the center of attention, which also put his bosses in dilemma of how to dealing with his issue, and challenged their management credibility. Last and most important, he denied what he had done were wrong, and blamed all faults on his boss Sean Williams. He blamed William for creating the stress that prevented him from doing anything, and refused to take his responsibilities. Paul Hardy perfectly meets Zaleznik’s definition of compulsive subordinates.
Lennie's previous problem with a woman at Weed and Curley's wife's aggressive manner combined with Curley's paranoid bravado and immediate dislike for Lenny make a conflict concerning the three characters inevitable. When George lies to the boss by telling him that he is Lennie's cousin, he reinforces the suspicion that there is something suspect about their friendship. The boss cannot understand that two men would have any concern for each other unless they were bound by familial connections, and George's lie demonstrates that this view is widespread. George, in particular, has cares that occur beyond a narrow scope of self-interest, a view that clashes with the widespread individualist mindset. He is in some ways comparable to Candy, whose care for a decrepit old dog marks him as a weak and sentimental
He is later killed by a man who is sent by Tom. Towards the end of the novel, Nick runs into them as they are leaving for a long vacation, and finally realizes how truly ruthless and greedy Tom and Daisy are: “They were careless people, Tom and Daisy - they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made...” (Fitzgerald, 179). Nick doesn’t seem to have any desire to talk to them again, due to what they had done to Gatsby. He also doesn’t think it is fair of Daisy to, after all that Gatsby had gone through to show Daisy that he loved her, she wanted absolutely nothing to do with him after his death. She did not so much as send flowers or a sympathy card.
“Now let’s cut the re-bop!” (pg. 40). As the play progresses Stanley becomes increasingly rude to Blanche until he learns of her past from a supply man in Laurel. He uses this information to destroy Blanche’s relationship with Harold “Mitch” Mitchell. The destruction of their relationship is significant because Mitch’s potential marriage proposal to Blanche was her key to living a normal life and finding a man that will love her
1.2.184-185. Hamlet is extremely displeased as he must now call his uncle, stepfather/King due to their ill conceived union...’you have deeply offended your father’ [she means Claudius] 3.4.9. Hamlet felt anger and resentment towards his mother who has not only betrayed him but also his father's memory in marrying a man inferior to his father. A man who he believed could not walk near his father’s footsteps ‘...To give the world a model man. This was your husband....what follows.
Hamlet also knew that he could not tell anyone that Claudius has murdered his father or that he had seen the ghost of his father because no one would believe him. Throughout the play Hamlet expresses his “madness” an example would be when he meets Ophelia in the court. In the beginning of their conversation he tells her that he once loved her but then is also confused saying that he didn’t love her at all. This is due to the fact that he sees woman as deceivers because of his mother’s relationship with his uncle. When Hamlet discovers that Polonius and the King are hiding nearby he explodes in a fit of rage, violently attacking her verbally and physically almost like a mad person would.
In the play, Hamlet shows great hostility toward his uncle Claudius because his mother's remarriage to him. Hamlet sees his mother's remarriage as disgusting and sees murdering Claudius as a way of freeing his mother of an incestuous marriage as well as avenging his father. Hamlet and his mother's relationship is also shown as more sexual than the traditional mother son relationship because of Hamlet's language and private interaction with his mother, as well as his rivalry toward Claudius for his mother's attentions. This suggests that Shakespeare saw the behavioral characteristics of the oedipal complex in humanity that Freud did and chose to display them through the relationship of Hamlet and his mother. Hamlet's inner monologues reveal much about what he is feeling and also aid in understanding the nature of the oedipal complex within the character.
Hamlet is shaken to the core of his moral being by a rapid succession of traumatic experiences: the death of his adored father, his mother’s indecently hasty marriage to his hated uncle and the ghosts revelation that his mother is married to his father’s murderer. Hamlet is obliged to gain revenge on his uncle – a task for which he is temperamentally unsuited. Hamlets treatment of his mother is cruel. The imagery hamlet uses to characterise the marriage is repulsive: ‘…to live in the rank sweat of an unseamed bed / stew’d in corruption, honeying and making love over the nasty sty’. Hamlet also has a crude and cynical depiction of human relationships ‘… the sun breeds maggots in a dead dog’; this shows hamlets
Although Iago is married to Emilia and still has these feelings towards another woman, he is introduced as “honest Iago.” This false sense of integrity and his knowledge ignite his jealousy further. Iago’s wife, Emilia, is Desdemona’s attendant and is very distrustful of her husband. Iago suspects that Emilia committed adultery with Othello and plots a way to bring down his superior. “…I hate the Moor; / And it is thought abroad that ‘twixt my sheets / ‘Has done my office. I know not of it be true; / Yet I, for mere suspicion in that kind, / Will do as if for surety” (I.111.279).
