.... is a force stronger than man which sustains life. Finally, when he and Ishmael sign aboard the Pequod, Bildad and Peleg give Queequeg a hard time because he is not a Christian, as was appropriate at the time. However, Queequeg has faith in himself and shows the men that he is an equal to all the Christian sailors by showing them his talents in the field of harpooning. This constant belief that he is an equal to all other men is a highly transcendental view, because at the time the novel is set in, these were many stereotypes and prejudices against people who were as different as Queequeg, yet he was able to rise above it and see .....

.... him before. In Act 1, Scene 4, Goneril complains about Lear’s impulsive behaviour and constant moodswing: “…and put away These dispositions which of late transport you From what you rightly are.” (I, iii, 217-219) Telling her father what he ought to do is thought of as disgracing her father during those times. A child is supposed to demonstrate strict obedience towards his parents. In addition, Goneril criticizes her father’s entourage vehemently : “…this your all-licensed fool, But other of your insolent retinue Do hourly carp and quarrel, breaking forth In rank and not-to- .....

.... is great in his unyielding pursuit for Daisy. Ultimately, however, Gatsby can only be considered great in a sarcastic tone, for the way in which he pursues his noble goal brings results in some one getting hurt. His great optimism that everything will be just the way it was delays and intensifies the effects of the inevitable fact that his encounter with Daisy was nothing but a “presumptuous little flirtation” to Tom, which Daisy tacitly agrees with. Gatsby also has acquired his great wealth from bootlegging the sale of illegal liquor. Liquor ends up most of the time in helping people such as the ones at the one of .....

Gregor, working to pay off his family’s debt, has resigned himself to a life full of no pleasures only work. Kafka himself paralleled this sentiment in a quote taken from his diaries noting that no matter how hard you work “that work still doesn’t entitle you to loving concern for people. Instead, you’re alone, a total stranger, a mere object of curiosity” (Pawel 167). Gregor submerges himself in work and becomes a stranger to himself and to life. Any type of social contact beyond porters, waitresses or bartenders was non-exist .....

.... The readers' perspective would think that George did Lennie a favor in shooting him to put Lennie out of misery or suffering caused by the other characters. Therefore, since he knew Curley would not give up till Lennie was dead, he took the responsibility of killing him in a tactful way. Another way Gorge could justify the shooting is when he took the effort to describe the dream that Lennie loves to hear so much before the unexpected shooting occurs. Lennie has absolutely no idea that while George was explaining the dream that it would be the last time he hears it. When the reader reads the horrible news, how could yo .....
