.... such a description is felt to be reasonably true, the reader will read his own feelings and sentiments into the work" (1133). The story is actually about a woman who thinks she knows herself. Nora, in the beginning of the story, does not understand just what kind of position she has put herself in by taking the loan, without her husbands knowledge. Nora doesn’t think that the debt is such a big deal. She understands she will have to work to pay it off, however she does not realize that she has put her secret in the hands of a desperate, greedy man. Nor does she understand just how in love she is with Helmer. In the beginning .....

.... in the quarters, and had very little spending money. C.D. lived with the Firemen most of the time, he also as a fireman did not make that much money. The contrast of the living styles helps out with the reader and viewers point of views because most people who are "ugly" can still do very well in life in terms of opposite sex relations if they have good jobs and lots of money.

Both men had to try to impress the woman that they were trying to get by flattering her with their words and not really by their actions. Cyrano used Christia .....

.... condition than than just stress and a slight nervous condition. Even when a summer in the country and weeks of bed-rest don't help, her husband refuses to accept that she may have a real problem. Throughout the story there are examples of the dominant - submissive relationship. She is virtually imprisoned in her bedroom, supposedly to allow her to rest and recover her health. She is forbidden to work, "So I . . . am absolutely forbidden to "work" until I am well again." (Gilman 193). She is not even supposed to write: "There comes John, and I must put this away -- he hates to have me write a word." (Gilman 194). Sh .....

.... him, and he saw himself, -darkly as though through a veil"Footnote2, is a allusion to Saint Paul's line in Isiah 25:7, "For now we see through a glass, darkly."Footnote3 Saint Paul's use of the veil in Isiah and later in Second Corinthians is similar to Du Bois's use of the metaphor of the veil. Both writers claim that as long as one is wrapped in the veil their attempts to gain self-consciousness will fail because they will always see the image of themselves reflect back to them by others. Du Bois applies this by claiming that as long as on is behind the veil the, "world which yields him no self-consciousness but who only lets .....

.... of admiring awe with which my eyes traced her steps”. Even during their first encounter Jane is “impressed”… “by her voice, look and air”. Throughout Jane’s stay at Lowood, Miss Temple frequently demonstrates her human kindness and compassion for people. An Example of this is when after noticing that the burnt porridge was not eaten by anyone, she ordered a lunch of bread and cheese to be served to all, realising their hunger. This incident is also evidence of her courage, of how she is not afraid to stand up to her superior, when she feels that too much unnecessary suffering has been inflicted on the children .....

.... "None of the young men were quite good enough for Miss Emily and such.” The town and Emily thought that she was of higher status because of her family name. Faulkner uses the feelings of other characters to show Miss Emily's pride. Her pride has kept her from socializing with other members of the community reinforcing her solitary. But Miss Emily's father is still responsible for her being a hermit. "We remembered all the young men her father had driven away…” If he had not refused the men who wanted to go out with Miss Emily, she may have not gone crazy. Miss Emily may have wanted seclusion, but her .....

.... So does death claim a man of distracted mind, As he continually seeks more and more Of life's fleeting pleasures." Once again the image of water was used, but in a much different context. Here The Dhammapada refers to water not as drops filling a bucket, but it shows a more forceful side of water. A raging flood engulfing a sleepy village.

The third quotation that I selected, deals with the search for pleasure and also uses a water metap .....
