This is showing Stradlater is a secret slob because he appears all right on the outside, but once someone gets to know him, they know he is slob. As shown by the book, his razor is full of hair, lather, and crap yet he does not care. He does not seem to care about how he keeps himself as long as he looks good on the outside. Stradlater gets into a fight with Holden, and Holden alienates himself from Stradlater by saying, “That’s just the trouble with you morons. You never want to discuss anything.
Tybalt completely forgets about Mercutio and says to him “Well, peace be with you, sir. Here comes my man.” This quote suggests that Tybalt was looking for Romeo and he saw his enemy. While Romeo and Tybalt are still arguing about their hatreds towards each other, Romeo gets insulted by Tybalt by calling him a “villain”. This was insult towards Romeo because in the reign of the Elizabethan time that word was very insulting especially for someone like Romeo as he comes from a noble family. Mercutio joins in the conversation and says “O calm, dishonorable, vile submission!
Just sit back, read, and see how the two stories unfold. The men in these two stories are total opposites. I believe Sykes is abusive and unfaithful to his wife Delia and does not care for her. I believe he treats her like garbage because he knows she will not retaliate. I also believe he beats her so he could feel more like a man and feel like he has all the power.
This shows that he hates people that he may not know well enough. Another quote from him says, “Boy, this shall not excuse the injuries that thou hast done me; therefore turn and draw.” This quote is said right after Romeo has gotten married to Juliet. Tybalt wants to fight Romeo for being at the party but Romeo does not want to fight Tybalt because he is now his cousin. Romeo tries to tell him this but he doesn't listen. From this, you can tell that Tybalt doesn't listen to anyone.
His insults of Tiresias’ and his blindness, accusation of both Creon and Tiresias plotting against him, and the vicious handling of the old shepherd to extort information from him show his complete frustration in his determination to find the truth. However Oedipus’ impious actions are not contributory to demise, as his fate is established well before the
The people who go to his parties gossip about him constantly saying, “he’s a bootlegger” (Fitzgerald), or “he killed a man” (Fitzgerald). He also did not “suffer the absence of parental support” (Brucker) Alger’s characters went through causing their lack of knowledge of right and wrong. Demonstrating how his success does not gain respectability because he chooses wrong instead of right. Since Gatsby is not virtuous, he is not rewarded by the divine. Alger’s characters are to be believed as
Throughout the first scene, Iago and Roderigo also never refer to Othello by name, however, the audience quickly learn that both characters hate 'the moor', as this – amongst other derogatory terms, including 'thick-lips' – is the only title given to him. This, again dehumanises the character, as Shakespeare depicts the hero as little more than a title to be sneered at and belittled. Iago also speaks of his dislike of Cassio: “And what was he? Forsooth, a great arithmetician, one Michael Cassio... that never set a squadron in the field, nor the division of a battle knows more than a spinster—unless the bookish theoric, Mere prattle without practice is all his soldiership.” Through this, Iago questions and demeans Cassio's military ability, however, his main annoyance is with Othello for his decision to promote this man above him. Through this, Shakespeare also suggests that Iago feels that Othello's judgement is faulty.
His fickle favor toward his servants, and not to mention his family, proves his inconsistency and instability. Although appointed by the gods, his reign has exposed the abused and misused privilege of representing the gods in his earthly position. King Creon’s irrational edict stated that any man who dares to bury Polyneices would suffer death by stoning. Is it a mere human’s prerogative to determine another man’s eternal fate? Because Antigone had nothing left to live for, while knowing the sentence of stoning, Antigone defied King Creon’s edict in order to fulfill her duty.
His willingness to slaughter the man for so weak a reason is frightening though. It helps to show how twisted Chillingworth truly is. During the end of the novel though, Dimmesdale thwarts Chillingworth’s revenge plot by telling the Puritan community how he had an affair with Hester. This act absolutely ruins Chillingworth because he no longer possesses the power over Dimmesdale. All the horrible acts he had done in the past were undone, because Dimmesdale "Hast escaped me!"(228).
Creon, the tragic hero, performs actions with a very clouded judgment. Haimon and Therieseis notice his foolishness early on and attempt to correct him but he refuses to admit his faults. Because Creon became king for his blood and not ability, he has no sense of how a king is suppose
