.... exaggerated actions, and a constant comical tone to prevent readers from being offended. Leacock's utopian world is filled with humorous labels that represent the "Plutonian's" personalities. "Ourselves Monthly"; a magazine for the modern self-centered, is a Plutonian favourite. To fill their idle days, the Plutonian women are in an endless search for trends in literature and religion. Without the distractions of club luncheons and trying to achieve the "Higher Indifference", the women would have to do something productive. Readers that identify themselves with the class of people the Plutonians represent would be .....

.... himself. It seems as though no matter what age this novel is read at, it could be discussed as a representation of the "lost generation." What is meant by the phrase "lost generation?" Possibly it means the loss of a kindlier, friendlier, period of time. Maybe it means a loss of familiarity, closeness and strength of relationships; everyday things like the lost art of conversation. But at the same time, the characters in the stories appear to be part of a "lost generation" themselves. In "The Three- Day Blow," Nick and Bill spend a leisurely afternoon talking about baseball and books while enjoying a good "ole'" bottle of Iri .....

.... realized this, and when she saw that Janie was old enough for love she had her married. This guaranteed that Janie would not continue a loss of identity.

This is the first evidence of her searching beyond her boring life. This then leads to her everyday life left empty, because she is always looking farther than where she is at the time. So day by day she gets more worked up into leaving Logan, and searching for love. When she leaves Logan to run off .....

.... about the governments of Oceania, a crime punishable by death. Winston, the main character, is a man of 39 whom is not high in either intelligence or character, but is disgusted with the world in which he lives in. Winston represents Orwell’s view on totalitarianism. He works in the Ministry of Truth, which is a place where history and facts- significant or not are rewritten to reflect the party’s idealistic beliefs. They destroy the records of the past; and print up new revised editions, which is being constantly redone. Winston is aware of the untruths, because he makes them true. This makes him very upset with the government .....

.... and moves to San Francisco but wants to summer in Idlewild, the small town in northern Michigan where she grew up. Now just a half-abandoned dot on the map, Idlewild offers the only safe haven for Ava, now nearly 30.

.... that he would write to her in the name of Christian who comparatively is a poor writer and "wishes to make Christian his interpreter"(II,85). Both Christian and Cyrano love Roxane but Roxane loves only the person that has been writing to her. It was actually Cyrano, who was writing to her but she thinks it was Christian. Cyrano had said, "..And we two make one hero of romance." (II,85) Since Cyrano was suffering with an inferiority complex, as he had a gigantic nose, he was shy to ask Roxane whether she wanted him or not. He had assumed that she would not like him because of his deformity. He one said , "..I adore Beatric .....

.... somebody else from time to time, that's all. He has other girls doesn't he" (Huxley 41). This quote is talking about Lenina's relationship with Henry. At this point, they had been "having" each other for almost four months. This was very unusual for this society. It was unheard of to have sex with only one guy for that long of a period. Sex was just looked at on a different level in this society. "Sex has been dissociated at long last from procreation, and freed to compete on equal terms with other amusements" (Dyson 252). This quote sums up how sex was viewed in this society. Sex was viewed on a level of entertainment .....

.... his encounter he says that he met with a carriage at an intersection and they fought over the right of way. He also mentions one man (King Laius) struck him and said that: “He (King Laius) was paid in full and … my stick had struck him backwards from the car and he rolled out of it. And then I killed them all.” (Pg 45, 1.801-13) Oedipus’ pride caused him to kill his own father (unknowingly). He kept seeking for ways to avoid his destiny. This shows that he was so zealous that he thought he could avoid destiny. Also, in trying to avoid his destiny, he got into an argument over a small right of way inciden .....

.... female ability. The general prologue does not show the strong willed, intelligent, independent woman that the Wife of Bath is. The Wife of Bath only reveals this in her own prologue. Chaucer does not go into much detail about the Wife of Bath because he only reveals what he sees. The Wife of Bath Contrary to this, Chaucer brings to life the Squire by his description of the Squires physical appearance and details about the Squires lifestyle and habits. Physical appearance is one of the major tools of the Squire's construction. "With locks as curly as if they had been pressed. / He was some twenty years of age, I guessed. / In .....

.... Act IV, the Act of Falling Action, the character realizes the error in the decision. In a futile effort, they try to reverse it but ultimately fail. The damage is beyond repair. In Act V, the Act of Catastrophe, the character suffers the consequences of the decision, and is destroyed professionally, physically and socially. In Macbeth, Shakespeare strays from the traditional structuralist point of view and takes upon a more creative point of view in a sense that the tragic decision could be anywhere in the play. Unlike most tragic plays, in Macbeth, the tragic decision does not occur in act three. Instead, he makes decisions .....
