She finds many birds wounded and waiting for death as she wanders and attempts to put as many of them out of their misery as possible. “Tess’s first thought was to put the still-living birds out of their torture, and to this end with her own hands she broke the necks for as many as she could find,” (297).

In "The Wasp Factory" Frank Cauldhame and his brother Eric, behave in an erratic and dangerous manner; harming animals, and committing acts of murder. Both John Fowles and Iain Banks use the concept of the implied reader, in which the two principal protagonists of each novel "speak to" a specific reader in mind in an attempt to have the story interpreted in a particular way. This essay will explore the representation of such behaviour, as well as the idea of misogyny, misanthropy and witchcraft; which all can be described as "psychopathic." Both principal male protagonists Frank in "The Wasp Factory" and Frederick in "The Collector" present a disturbing initial impression in the opening to the novels. At the beginning of "The Collector" little is known of the male protagonist, if anything Frederick appears quite normal, if a bit bland.

Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit’em, but remember it is a sin to kill a mockingbird” (90). During the trial regarding Mayella Ewell’s rape, the People of the State of Alabama v.

He killed that, too.”(192) The canary was killed was just the way Mrs. Wright’s husband was killed, both being strangled.

Harper Lee explores prejudice in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by illustrating both racial and social prejudice. The title ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ refers to the persecution of Tom Robinson and prejudice of Boo Radley who were both treated unfairly simply because of their differences.

One Shot at a Mockingbird “‘Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit ‘em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird’” (Lee 119). Atticus Finch, in Harper Lee’s renowned To Kill a Mockingbird says this quote to his daughter as a symbol of the destruction of innocence.

Like mockingbirds, these characters become violated by the injustices of humanity.
