.... to expose the heretics and eventually remove them from their society. The darkness that supposedly befuddled good and evil would be eliminated, and everyone and everything in their society would be seen as it truly was. This was a very hopeful idea for most of the Puritans, for a rapid decline in church participation was simultaneously taking place. And as ministers tried as they could to convince “sinners” in New England to repent, they couldn’t, and believed the devil was behind the loss of religious fervor that was so important when the colony was founded. Unfortunately for the Puritans, they were misfounded i .....

.... relationship with Catherine, which was not approved by her brother. So several punishments were given to them such as, “The curate might set as many chapters as he pleased for Catherine to get by heart, and Joseph might thrash Heathcliff till his arm ached; they forgot everything the minute they were together again” (Ch 6, Pg 71). Because Hindley separated Catherine and Heathcliff, Heathcliff sought revenge towards Hindley. Finally, Heathcliff is abused by Catherine. In a relationship it is easier to get hurt if one of person changes his or her mind, which is exactly what happens when Catherine confesses her thoughts to Nell .....

.... her husband. Deborah didn't experience either fulfillment or the smaller pleasures of love- making. She was totally unemotional.

.... to Scout's primary belief, Boo never harms anyone. Scout also realizes that she wrongfully treated Boo when she thinks about the gifts in the tree. She never gave anything back to Boo, except love at the end. When Scout escorts Arthur home and stands on his front porch, she sees the same street she saw, just from an entirely different perspective. Scout learns what a Mockingbird is, and who represents one. Arthur Radley not only plays an important role in developing Scout and Jem, but also helps in developing the novel. Boo can be divided into three stages. Primitively, Boo is Scout's worst nightmare. However, t .....

.... amount of resentment and insecurity only highlights all the vengefulness that is built up inside of Montresor and gives the prediction of a conflict between the two. The setting of the event as it unfolds begins at a jovial party with costumes and such. Poe establishes a rather happy and cheerful mood to surround the situation at hand in order to establish Fortunato’s state of being. Fortunato is dressed much like a clown with all the bells and whistles, which portrays him as being bright and flamboyant in the crowd. The surroundings characterize Fortunato to be a rather social giant with many charming aspects about him. I .....

.... first time Nathaniel Hawthorne begins to describe Dr. Prynne (a.k.a. ) he uses Hester to show that he is very normal in some aspects, yet very different in others. He is a mid aged man, whom wears his age well. But a small shoulder misalignment, causes slight distinction from the rest of the crowd. His facial features told of his intelligence, and his clothes were of a mix, some civilized, some savage. When he came onto the scene, while Hester was on the scaffold with baby Pearl, he hid his identity from the crowd, and merely asked of what the commotion was all about. The news hit him hard, yet, consistent with Chillingworth .....

.... for instance; she is described as a “fallen monument”(Faulkner 204) symbolizing her former beauty and later ugliness. Like the house, she has fallen from grace. Once she had been “a slender figure in white”(Faulkner 207) later she is obese and “bloated, like a body long submerged in motionless water with eyes lost in the fatty ridges of her face”(Faulkner 205). Both the house and Miss Emily have suffered the ravages of time and neglect. Just as the house is described as “smelled of dust and disuse and the leather cracked” (Faulkner 205) this could also describe Miss Emily, “a small, fat woman in black” with a .....

.... The music that represents his freedom to choose is now gone. He is left without any reason to live. When he realizes that he is no longer a man because of his absence of choice, Alex decides to end his life. The author illustrates through Alex's violent actions, how they represent his abuse of power through his freedom of choice. Alex consistently chooses evil as a means to display his power over the innocent and the good. While beating and raping a young girl, he states with pride, "So he did the strong-man on the devotchka, who was still creeching away . . . in very horrorshow groodies"(22). This proves that he feels he mu .....

.... to be an 'evil' one, since he depicts both countries as rife with poverty, injustice, and violence due to the irresponsibility of the ruling elite (1-3; bk. 1, ch. 1). As the novel unfolds, however, England becomes a safe haven for those escaping the violence perpetrated by the French Revolution. In this paper, I shall argue that A Tale of Two Cities reflects the popular confidence in the stability of England in the eighteen-fifties, despite Dickens's suggestions at the beginning. A Tale of Two Cities thus becomes a novel about the England and the English of Dickens's time. And yet, many people today would believe that the n .....
