Cody Olson WBIS 188-013 November 2, 2012 Niesen What Kind of Man are You? The films Fargo and The Man Who Wasn’t There are two Coen brothers’ films in which greed and mishap are two common themes. Jerry Lundegaard, from Fargo, and Ed Crane, from The Man, are two men who want a quick and easy way out of their current financial distress and living situations. Both men try different get-rich-quick schemes, but because of their lack of communication skills and their own greed, they put many lives at risk, while putting their plans into action. The films are much more alike than one would originally think.
“All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreams of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible” –T.E. Lawrence. Mr. Jay Gatsby is a dreamer of the day. He constantly pursued dreams of which he never fulfilled and constantly faced disasters in money, his love life, and his social relations.
Paul’s Case “Paul was quite accustomed to lying; found it, indeed, indispensable for overcoming fiction”.

When someone would try to help Paul, he would alienate himself from them. On his way to New York Paul hides himself from the passengers because he wants to ride alone.
By using short and snappy sentences and question marks Shakespeare shows Capulet’s rage and anger. This can be seen when he says “my fingers itch” and “Is she not proud?” This quote shows us that Capulet has become so enraged that he’d even resort to domestic violence which links in to the social historical context – patriarchy. He owned Juliet and got to decide what would be done with her. Furthermore by using short sentences it shows that Capulet is so angry that he’s ‘thinking out loud’ and all the words are spilling out of his mouth without him even thinking about it. By firing short and rapid questions it shows that he doesn’t want an answer, as he isn’t giving anyone time to reply but also that he doesn’t want to hear an answer which would displease him.
If he lets himself get out of control so much that he hates someone, then his inner self and soul breaks down or degrades. This means that overall everyone’s opinion does matter and mean a lot, but how you approach it is what matters most. Quote 2: Success is not really success if you haven’t succeeded past any obstacles to get to that sussessful life. “I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.” Booker T. Washington was telling his readers how he felt through the voice of this quote. This says to me a lot to myself and teach me a lesson.

Gatsby is careless in devoting much of his life trying to recapture his past. In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, careless characters make bad decisions and use their wealth and position to escape their consequences. Tom and Daisy act carelessly throughout the novel. They make careless decisions due to selfishness and drunkenness. Due to their wealth and the lifestyle they are living, they have no concept of reality.
