says that "[m]oney is an opportunity for happiness", and that people often don't use these opportunities because of ignorance about the things that gives them happiness (Dunn 438). Although Dunn et. al. has presented many convincing points, a careful analysis reveals certain contradictory aspects of the principles. In the first principle, Dunn et.
Secondly, understanding that Rainsford has recently just washed ashore onto his island, Zaroff knew Rainsford would “want clothes, food, rest” (9). If Zaroff cares about a stranger’s well-being, then there should be no doubt that he is a caring, civilized man. Even so, the General’s civility and politeness wears off when his intentions are revealed. He soon reveals his uncivilized, barbaric side once he reveals his prey of choice, humans, specifically, sailors that get stranded onto his island. Zaroff thinks nothing is wrong with being serious about hunting humans and does not consider it murder.
This passage is an example of Walter’s wise interpretations of others’ emotions promoting him as a reliable narrator; the fact that he wasn't physically present during the event doesn't alter the veracity of his judgement that Mistress Beldam ‘will have wondered at the anger [the villagers] brought with them’. The use of the conditional tense presents Walter as a restricted omniscient narrator and for the reader to be exposed to only Walter’s first person analysis increases the control Crace has over their emotions through the reader narrator bond. The medial position of Walter as both part of the community and an outsider (represented through the mixed pronominalisation of collective and third person pronouns) not only gains two interpretations, but also represents human nature and the pull between the want for security and the want for spontaneity. Walter’s used to explore the need to feel safe and belonging to a group but the accompanying dissatisfaction with the regularity, fuelling the adrenaline for new experiences. His insecure status is demonstrated through his justification of the villagers’ actions as ‘[defending] themselves’ yet his reluctance to fully include himself in the events through his lack of personal opinion on the situation and the continuous use of exclusive pronouns such as ‘they’ rather than ‘we’.
Claudio and Hero share a conventionality, and compliant behaviour which contrasts sharply with Benedick's/Beatrice’s independent spirit, jaded opinions about the opposite sex, and their shared eccentric wit. Standard comedic pieces are utilised to address rigid social conventions and present often taboo concepts, that otherwise wouldn’t have been tolerated but within this instance are accepted as a form of social release as they make light of aspects of the society they inhabit. Within this comedic instance Benedick/Beatrice reprise the role of ‘Jesters’(with their self-proclaimed abstinence to marriage “I would not marry”) characters allowed to override social convention and converse with liberty despite their lack of nobility or title as their words are masked by comic delivery. ‘Jester’ is reference to the source of amusement within the king’s court and often the unlikely source of guidance and counsel as he unlike any other can speak freely without trepidation of persecution as because of his station he is not taken seriously. Such as the case with Benedick/Beatrice as their obscene outbursts and not only tolerate but applauded as the audience can because of the context of the piece easily
Elizabeth is one character that has very few thoughts on money and social positions, and because of this is able to rely her own judgements on characteristics and personalities. Elizabeth’s misconceptions of characters are clearly shown with Darcy and Wickham. At the beginning of the novel she is anything but fond of Darcy and believes that Wickham is a good man. She then goes to state… “There certainly was some great mismanagement I the education of those two young men. One has got all the goodness, and the other all the appearance of it.” It this Elizabeth is stating that Wickham is basically evil and that Darcy is not.
‘The scenario of the Handmaid’s Tale is too implausible and the narrative too dispassionate to engage the reader fully’ Do you agree with this statement or disagree It could be said that the events within ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ are too unrealistic and emotionless to interest a reader fully. Conversely, one could argue that although the events within the narrative are extremely unrealistic, a reader is still able to sympathise with the protagonist due to feelings of isolation, loneliness and desperation. One could say that the events within ‘The Handmaid’s tale’ are completely plausible and could be compared to some of the events within the Nazi regime. The Nazi’s managed to indoctrinate the people of their country and rid the country of those they didn’t approve of. This can be seen as very similar to the treatment of the people in Gilead, they have been brainwashed to believe what is ‘right’ and the government have expelled anyone who is an ‘unwoman’.
-In nadsat style, addressing the reader with ‘’O my brothers’’ creates a more personal bond with Alex, and their for it is easier for the reader to sympathize with Alex even though he is such a flawed character. -When the violence is shown in the book, more nadsat is used with for example: ‘’to tolchock a chelloveck in the kishkas’’ this being an alienating and distancing the reader and Alex from the violent acts he commits. If the nadsat is purely read for its language it sounds humorous, but often takes a sickening and repulsive turn, that is when you realize what is actually happening. For example: ‘’So he did the strong-man on the devotcha, who was still creech creech crecching away in very horrorshow four-in-a-bar, locking her rookers from the back, while I ripped away at this and that and the other, the others were going haw haw haw still, and real horrorshow groodies they were that then exhibited their pink glazzies, O my brothers, while I untrussed and got ready for the plunge.’’ This sounds quite comical and humorus until its found out that the devotcha (woman) is being raped. In short: -What is the Nadsat language, where is it
This is then reiterated through the phrase 'shrunk icily into myself'. The verb shrunk suggests Lockwood tried to make himself as small as possible because of his timidness in order to remove himself from an uncomfortable situation during his meeting with Heathcliff. Lockwood however, seems to like these introverted characteristics, because he recognises that Heathcliff also possesses them and therefore believes this will lead to a platonic relationship forming between them. Lockwood states that 'Mr Heathcliff and I are such a suitable pair to divide the desolation between us'. This shows that Lockwood and Heathcliff are the perfect couple to occupy such desolate surroundings, because they share these morose and sombre
The juxtaposition of Heaney wife to a street roaming skunk is full of wonder. In contrast, Montague’s love poem ‘all legendary obstacles’ presents the theme of ‘love overcomes all’ the poem points out reasons of why the pair should not be together, such as the legendary obstacles that lay between. Montague rhymes off problems the speaker and his lover are facing. A long imaginary plain, a ruck of mountains and a flood lay between him. But still we see by the end, these ‘legendary obstacles’ were abolished, and love prevailed.
