Number of words: 917 | Number of pages: 4.... Crooks actually states that George and Lennie have got each other but he hasn't got anyone. Curley's wife portrays the same message but under different circumstances. There are really no other main characters besides George and Lennie. From reading the novel and watching the film it is clearly evident in most cases that all of the support characters appear to be lonely. Therefore lonliness is quite a strong and influential theme in the story but it only features as a bakground theme and is not always present at critical stages.
Themes such as sacrifice, comradship and freindship feature under very similar circumstances as lonliness .....

The Great Gatsby: A Full Spectrum Of Character
Number of words: 566 | Number of pages: 3.... Gatsby's mansion and seems deeply moved by his collection of fine,
tailored shirts. It would seem that Tom's relative wealth, also, had at one
time impressed her enough to win her in marriage. In contrast to that,
Gatsby seems to not care a bit about money itself, but rather only about
the possibility that it can win over Daisy. In fact, Gatsby's extreme
generosity gives the reader the impression that Gatsby would otherwise have
never even worked at attaining wealth had it not been for Daisy. For Gatsby,
the only thing of real importance was his pursuit of Daisy. It would seem
that these elements are combined, too in the cha .....

Either way, the little red ant was described as being full of excitement and ready to fight.

An Analysis Of The Jay Gatsby
Number of words: 1162 | Number of pages: 5.... love, this time through the use of extensive clothing.
Fitzgerald wisely shows how Gatsby uses his riches to buy Daisy. In the story, we know that "They were careless people, Tom and Daisy--they smashed up things . . . and then returned back into their money" By this, we know that Daisy's main (and maybe only) concern is money. Gatsby realizes this, and is powered by this. He is driven to extensive and sometimes illegal actions. He feels he must be rich and careless for his five year love. All these enlighten us to Gatsby's personality, therefore we know Gatsby is willing to use an unlimited source of income to actually buy trif .....

The Crucible
Number of words: 363 | Number of pages: 2.... know her murder of innocent people
is for him, but she does it out of a somewhat obsessive sense of faith to
him.
Of course the other girls aren't totally innocent, but they don't have
much of a choice. If they were to speak out like Mary Williams, the
others would accuse them of witchcraft, just like they did to Mary. In my
eyes the main reasons for the continued accusations were fear for their
own life, and in Abigail a need to have John Proctor love her, and to
serve Parris.
When the girls involved in that madness grow up I believe that most of
them will be normal if somewhat less naive about children than the average .....

Frankenstein: Roles Between Males And Females
Number of words: 1128 | Number of pages: 5.... that distinguish them from others. Shelly's women are portrayed as "gentle and affectionate" (65) and they have features of an "angelic beauty" (144). Victor describes Elizabeth as "the most fragile creature in the world" (65) showing that he feels superior to her. Since the women are mainly confined to the home, they are naive and are not as prepared for the outside world as the men are. (Mellor, 276). This is perceivable in the opening letters from Walton to his sister, Margaret Saville. While Walton is far away from home on a "long and difficult voyage" (51) Margaret remains at home "alarmed for his safety" (55). This sh .....
