The Tempest - Barbarism Versus

... He also enslaves a native monster named Caliban. These two slaves, Caliban and Ariel, symbolize the theme of nature versus nurture.

Catcher In The Rye 4

... D.B. was very important to Holden throughout the book. D.B. was on Holden’s mind often. One way that he was on Holden’s mind was how much he cared about D.B. and his personality.

A Review Of Courage Under Fire

Courage Under Fire contrasts greatly with these movies by showing that acts of valor do not necessarily ...
