.... and attitudes of a pre-industrial society which are carried by individual members of the same society a hundred years later. This gives the theme of the unpardonable sin personal importance and understanding of the social causes that happened over a lifetime before the effects that still linger. Reading Hawthorne’s Ethan Brand, Rappaccinni’s Daughter, and Young Goodman Brown, in this order elucidates a view of Hawthorne’s theme of the unpardonable sin. The story of Ethan Brand defines the unpardonable sin. Ethan pointedly narrates precisely what the unpardonable sin is. In Rappaccinni’s Daughter, a larger statement is ma .....

.... which someone (one of the masters or mistresses) wasn't happy with something and blamed it on the slave(s), forcing them to deal with the harsh consequences. An example is when the cook sends dinner out to Dr. Flint. Sometimes, when he does not like a dish, the cook gets whipped, other times he shoves all the food down the her throat until she chokes. I feel that this is very offensive treatment because that is not a justified reason to do something, as severe as choking someone. Even though she was one of his slaves, instead of doing that, he could have just told her, or even yelled, to cook something different-she would .....

.... to slay it. All that Mordred's men see is the blade being drawn, and a battle immediately ensues. Once again, the reader is told more than the characters. The only thing keeping the reader a part of the story is the vivid descriptions given of the nightmarish world of Arthur's dream, and the smoking, bloody battlefield of a war that wasn't meant to happen. Malory also makes use of drama in his portrayal of the double-death scene, again with Arthur and Mordred. When he describes Mordred's sword being driven into Arthur's chest, and Arthur's spear running Mordred through, the reader almost cringes at the thought. However, it .....

.... size and form. The image of a "pitchy cloud / Of locusts" to describe them as they rise from the burning lake is especially apt, given the destructive nature of, and biblical references to these insects. Milton states that they lost their original names after the Fall ("Got them new names, till wand'ring o'er the earth") and that they became known to man as the heathen idols of the Old Testament and the pagan deities of Egypt and Greece. A rich portrait of mythological and biblical history is painted, through the equation of the angels with the false gods and characters who featured in these past times. What is made c .....

.... was exceedingly possessed by the prosperity the pearl might possibly produce for him, he even assaulted Juana, as a result of her recognizing that the pearl and the greed it caused was gradually diminishing Kino and her community’s lucidness. Although Kino assumed that selling the pearl would improve his family’s level of affluence; his dreams, and goals entirely counted on the infinitesimal detail that the pearl would bring opulence. His ravenousness blinded him to the actuality that he would be defrauded of his wealth, which would inevitably end the likelihood of ever fulfilling his dreams. Conclusively the pearl .....

.... is Universal or correlates with any time period and any situation. The Call to Adventure is the first of the Cosmogonic Cycle. It is the actual "call to adventure" that one receives to begin the cycle. There are many ways that this is found in literature including going by desire, by chance, by abduction, and by being lured by an outside force. In The Adventures of Huck Finn, Huck is forced with the dilemma of whether to stay with his father and continue to be abused or to leave. Huck goes because he desires to begin his journey. In The Catcher In The Rye, Holden mentally is torn between experience and innocence, it .....

.... wife is to physically pleasure him at his command. Torvald also does not trust Nora with money, which exemplifies Torvald's treating Nora as a child. Sometimes, Torvald gives Nora some money; he is concerned that she will waste it on candy and pastry. Nora's duties are restricted to caring for the children, doing housework, and working on her needlepoint. A problem with her responsibilities is that her most important obligation is to please Torvald, making her role similar to that of a slave. The problem in A Doll's House lies not only with Torvald, but also with all the other characters. Females were confined in every way imagi .....

.... later, in late thirties, after the rise of Facism, Saint-Ex was criticized for the ideas presented in "". After all, many fascist atrocities were justified as "we were only doing our duty", "just following orders". I don't believe that such criticisms are justified. Saint-Ex always tried to look for the more noble emotions and motivations in man and the devotion shown by his characters was towards the improvement of the life of man. As a writer, Saint-Ex was a perfectionist, revising his manuscripts on the way to the printer. But his obsession resulted in beautiful, poetic writing, and that shows even in translation. For exam .....
