... in love with a woman. He starts off his sonnet by implanting an image in our head of a summer day. A summer day triggers a scene that flashes in our head of children playing and the sun shining, basically a carefree day where everything is beautiful. He contemplates whether or not to compare his love to this ideal day, “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?” but decides against it in his second line because he feels his love is “more lovely and more temperate” that this day. He then proceeds to bombard us wi ...

The Symbol Of Blood In Macbeth

... he becomes a treacherous person who has become identified with death and bloodshed and shows his guilt in different forms. The first reference of blood is one of honour, and occurs when Duncan sees the injured sergeant and says "What bloody man is that?". This is symbolic of the brave fighter who been injured in a valiant battle for his country.

The Iron Heel

... president to the people. One man cannot appease all. This is where law comes in. If law were not present, all cultures, government and way of life would crumble. It would be man against man, brother on brother until the inevitable Extinction Level Event. This is why I disagree with Ernest Everhard. He tries to make the boss's see the way, but he can't because that way will never happen. The most he will ever get from a few sparse owners is an occasional raise or improvement on conditions. I'm not saying this wont help, but its what he s ...

The Catcher In The Rye 5

... to communicate with people. In the conversations Holden has with people, he usually makes up lies or ends up embarassing them or himself. In others, he usually ends up being hostile towards them. Yet, it seems obvious that the reason for his failed attempts of communication is because he won't allow people to express themselves as they are. He automatically assumes that they are "phony" because of their first impression towards him. He won't give them a chance to express themselves unless he decides that their first impression towar ...

The Siginificance Of The Openi

... ability to immerse us in a locality and atmosphere. In A Pair of Blue Eyes, for instance, Hardy uses its setting of sea and moorland and desolate cliffs to produce an odd and poignant effect of youthful clumsiness and pathos. Egdon Heath lends itself very well to the kind of story Hardy wanted to tell in RON. It is meant as a tragedy (at least through the first five books) and the 'gaunt waste' provides an appropriate setting. On Egdon Heath, night and darkness comes before its 'astronomical hour'. In addition to reinforcing the idea of ...

Then he flees, fearing the Pharoah's wrath. Consequently, he finds himself in the land of Midian.

The Grapes Of Wrath 6

... dreams destroyed. "Steinbeck often created characters possessing lofty goals; lofty goals in a world of despair and corruption. His characters did not have a dream of tangible luxuries, but a dream of corporal well being and refuge with loved ones"(Thomas 238).

... purgation of these emotions”(p. 22). Shakespeare’s Hamlet follows this definition for the most part, and even though it is not always in agreement with Aristotle’s guidelines, it is still a great and effective tragedy.

The play centers around Hamlet’s quest to avenge his father’s death, this is a serious action. It is also complete in the sense that all the l ...
