I felt it made absolutely no sense to be in this story. The story, at that point, needed to concentrate more on the reunited family of Jurgis rather than the radical ideas circulating throughout Chicago. Upton Sinclair painted an accurate historical picture with , but he wrote it without a sensible plot, with redundant and ambiguous details, and with no appeal as a readable story.

In the book, he was said to have reused tea bags, kept his burner on all day to save matches, make sure to put his storm windows on in early september tp save on the cost of heating his home, and refusing to buy his wife's personal supplies because they were her expenses. It never clearly says, but prior to the Holocaust it is probable that he was not so cheap. Many prominent factors of Vladek's personality were present only because of the suffering he endured. He was a new man after the war. The old him was dead and a new, more experienced man emerged.

Tarrou: The Plague's Only Hero
Number of words: 785 | Number of pages: 3.... interprets
as a parody of Rieux's inability to explain the plague (109-10). Cottard
wholeheartedly embraces the plague, revels in it, and attempts to profit
from it. The rest of the people either waste their time, waiting for the
end (the old man spitting on the cats, the bean-counter, etc.) or join the
sanitation squad, under Tarrou. Nobody takes a stand and resists death
except Rieux and Tarrou.
Rieux and Tarrou do seem to show the same level of heroism. Both
resist the plague, both are symbolically cleansed in the river, and both
record the events of Oran. Brée thinks that for Rieux "morality is first
of all a question o .....

English Macbeth
Number of words: 635 | Number of pages: 3.... of what he is to do
‘When Duncan is asleep… his spongy officers, who shall bear the guilt of our great quell?
Overall Lady Macbeths ambition, confidence and naivete is perhaps the major factor in pushing Macbeth into the murder of Duncan. She does not think of the consequences of the murder so she is 100% behind Macbeth killing Macbeth, which makes it difficult for Macbeth to go against her.
Another factor is Banquo. The fact that Banquo knows of what the ‘imperfect speakers’ said is a major factor pushing Macbeth away from killing the King. If the King were to be murdered Banquo would be suspicious .....

Number of words: 725 | Number of pages: 3.... away. “She did not hear the story as
many women have heard the same, with a paralyzed inability
to accept its significance. She wept at once, with sudden
wild abandonment, in her sister’s arms.”(12) The irony had
finally creeped through into her life, her inexplicable and
“sometimes” loving marriage had finally come to a sudden
halt; Louise Mallard no longer had her dreadful job.
The feeling of freedom, the feeling Louise Mallard
never knew still existed warmed her body from head to toe.
Although the news of someone’s husband dying would come as a
complete shock to most, Mrs. Malla .....
