In the two extracts Benedick shows two very different sides to himself. At the start of act 1 scene 1 he does nothing but joke around and insult Beatrice, and having the pleasure of sharing his thoughts on marriage and women.

Benedick then changes his ways of doing things and takes life more seriously. In the beginning of act 1 scene 1 Benedick shows to be rude and arrogant.
Many believe that the most significant themes of the book include phoniness, death/suicide, and “The Catcher in the Rye.” Phoniness is a tremendous structure of The Catcher in the Rye. People see Holden calling people “a phony” all the time. Being a phony means being someone who a person really isn’t, or just a typical “sheeple”. The main character Holden says numerous times in the book such as,”… they probably just met each other at a phony party.”- (Salinger, p.127) This quote is a favorite of mine because it shows Holden being what he hates the most, which is being a phony. He is doing this by being jealous, just like any other person would.
Cherry seems to become more nutty when she falls for Lewis. But that’s what the audience wants to see, the normality of people turning mad because of love. Nowra is trying to cut out the fact that these people are really insane and hid it with the fact that love is what is important in this play, for people to understand that love makes you mad whether you are or not. As Julie says ‘Love is hallucinating without the
The stories utilize verbal irony to convey the sense of something more than the statement at face value, dramatic irony to feel the true ignorant and untrusting natures of the characters, and lastly situational irony as a medium for the former to glide through and provide the kick to the plot of the story. Sarcasm and other verbal elements would be used in “The Lottery” and many more within the brilliant writing of The Crucible. It can be seen more commonly with the interactions between John Proctor and his wife, Elizabeth Proctor, where it is noted earlier in the book that he has cheated on her with Abigail Williams and now they face an uneasy relationship because of it. The book portrays an excellent scene of irony when John must recite his commandments: Proctor: “... Thou shalt not bear false witness. [He is stuck.
Symbolism in “The Lottery” Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery” is a short story filled with an immense amount of symbolism used in a way that conveys to readers the evil nature of society and traditions. Every year the community gathers to select a winner for the year’s lottery and this year it is Mrs. Tessie Hutchinson who is the lucky winner to be stoned to death. The story begins in a setting so real it could have taken place any where right here in America but it does not give an exact location. This signifies that these evils of humanity and tradition that take place in the story can take place any where we live. The time period the event occurs in is not stated either, signifying that such cruel acts can take place at any time.

Daisy, by telling her what to do and her being almost afraid to do anything that Tom did not want her to do, and Myrtle, by abusing her and not caring when she passed away, and last but not least Gatsby by trying to make him jealous. The superciliousness of Tom in this book was an example of the 1920’s because it was an era of economic boom, wealth, and riches. Works Cited F.

The use of slapstick by Wilde produces a contrived and absurd plotline that is in every way unrealistic. The lack of morality in the characters defines how undeveloped they are. For example, Algernon uses the aphorism, "The only way to behave to a woman is to make love to her if she is pretty, and to someone else if she is plain" highlighting his ignorance and casual selfishness. Each one of the characters is in some way lacking either true morality or even awareness of reality. Gwendolyn in particular is fond and proud of her education yet in the end she easily forgives Jack for lying to her throughout the play underlying a sense of stupidity.
The Hutchinson family was the unfortunate winners of the first round and then they had to pick among themselves. Mrs. Hutchinson makes an accusation that her husband simply did not have enough time to draw a good slip of paper. This was the first conflict in this story. A woman, who previously had no objections to this yearly event, is now protesting the unfairness of the outcome because she was the unfortunate one. By reading this story you begin to wonder what the lottery really I because if it was really a lottery that would be the wrong response to a good thing.
