emotional plea from her husband, “Look up to heaven, and resist the wicked one,”
(1590) Faith cannot resist the Devil's temptation and has “uncertain sorrow,”
(1587) after submitting to him. The character of Faith which Hawthorne

that is, Puritans are really not as pure as we all think, they also contain evil
characteristics, in this case, explo .....

second act is almost an exact repeat of the first, but Lucky and Pozzo have
fallen upon hard times. Pozzo has become blind and pathetic, and Lucky has
become dumb. This change in events is a direct point of life being
terrific one moment, and worthless the next. Godot never shows up. The
play ends with the two considering to go somewhere, but they do not.
The similarity of this play to Eliot's poem is remarkable. Eliot's
Love Song is in the first person point of view, and this person refers to “
you,” who is probably a woman. It is about a man who want to do s .....
