K’ung Shang-Jen introduces the simple, yet thought provoking, fan as a symbol of how the hero and heroine should live their lives. Both Hou and the Fragrant Princess reject living above their means and maintain the belief that living virtuously will lead to their desired fate. Accordingly, the two experience authentic happiness and dismiss the temptations of external encounters that test the strength of their virtue. One reoccurring burden that the two face is Juan, in his attempt to win the Fragrant Princess’s affection. Reacting to Juan’s pretentious efforts, the Fragrant says that she would rather stay true to the
It implies that to truly live life, one must seek simplicity, harmony with nature, and to follow one’s own path. Thoreau strongly believes and advocates that those who live lives of luxury and in mainstream culture created by the Industrial Revolution aren’t really living. He believes this illusion of progress impedes man’s spiritual transcendence, true happiness, and understanding of the essential facts of life. Thoreau’s advice encourages one to rid of superfluous possessions and social activities so as to lead as simple and "bare bones" a life as possible. The advice explains that “life near the bone is sweetest.” The simple life (i.e.
In the World State no one really grows up because the World State wants everyone to be happy and not experience pain which means no one loses their innocence. To grow up and become wiser, people need to get hurt and learn from

Relating back to Nathaniel Hawthorne's literature with the movie, it makes it clear that a person's self-dignity can very much be influenced by their own community and the impact of a society's codes and values upon its members create a life style that is “expected” by the public. Miller talks about a darkness within literature. The darkness throughout this context is a symbol of reality and truth. Olive has to separate her reality with a fantasy, which causes a dilemma of her forgetting what is really important, and later on has to tell everyone the truth so she doesn't have to live in a lie anymore. It's kind of like a good vs. evil thing, for every good there's a bad, and for every bad, there's a good.

Will Demps also writes in his essay titled “Groupie Love” that he removes himself from temptation by surrounding himself with like minded players. Will doesn’t compete in locker room competion with other guys. “I see myself growing and changing.” I can relate to Will Demps, because I also feel mature and feel that the decisions I make today will reflect on what happens tomorrow. You never know where life is going to take you; all you can do is hope, wish, and pray for the best. I feel that if I believe in something so much and pray for it every day and also work at it every day, it will come true no matter how slim my chance is.
These thing are what makes us who we are and makes each and every man and woman unique and build who they are, giving up these things is like giving up your, right to be on this earth. Brave New World is a stretch in that it shows the weakness of humans without Freedom and Individuality; these people have given up all their writes to have a feeling of pleasure and fun and self worth. The characters in this story are all they same, in the sense of capacity and also ability. No one really defers from each other, in fact there is no individuality to begin with, each person is created with the same concept as the other, so each and every person derives from the same ideas and
