These injustices are personified through the outlandish characters of Miss Havisham, Mrs. Pocket and Magwitch, who satirize the upper, middle and lower classes. These characters embody many of the traits, which Dickens found to be indicative of the various classes. ...

When he finally made it so the plant, he went inside to find it filled with thick, smoke-like mist. His light only distorts the images, so he turns it off and gets used to the dark room.

Beowulf

... but the reader gets the idea that it is a person that was watching from a distance. It was not one of the warriors, for they ran off.

Told to warriors right before they went out to battle. The story teller would have possibly sang this story so that it could be remembered. Because of this there is a certain flow to the piece, not any rhyming, but there is a general flow. The first sig ...

... will accept it, as it would be in their self-interest to do so. The play gives us a range of characters that have different prices, most of which are met, and shows the benefits gained.

He also shows how we will manipulate a situation to suit our own needs and wants. The Common Man shows self-interest on a small scale. Take for example when More is ...

Romeo And Juliet (old Vs. New)

... older 50's version of Romeo and Juliet and comparing it to the newer version of Romeo and Juliet. What stuck out as being most different between the two versions of the movie were how the characters acted. In the classic version, Juliet is a much more timid girl and seems much less "experienced" than in the newer version. I feel that her shyness makes her more desireable. It makes their romance seem much more innocent and more meaningful at the same time. I feel that the new Romeo is much less shy in the newer version. This makes the ...
