.... society as a whole. Another reason for the tragic hero to be in high authority is to display that if a tragedy may happen to someone such as a king, it may just as easily happen to any other person. Julius Caesar fits the role of a tragic hero. Julius Caesar is a high standing senator that possesses hamartia, failings of human nature. Julius Caesar’s imperfections may be seen in three distinct aspects of Caesar, such as the following: his pride, his vacillation, and his ambition. Julius Caesar has much pride, a hamartia, which brings him to not be wary of the conspiracy. Caesar is given much warning on the threat of his l .....

.... father. In spite of the fact that Charlie portrays of his father, he was a soft and sentimental man who loved his wife.

.... the white town leaders, he remembers that his lack of indignation was so great that he did not even mind scrambling for the faux gold pieces, which were only brass coins. That the Invisible Man appears to have little reaction to his debasing experience indicates how firmly others have placed his mask of passivity and tolerance of others' actions. Next, the Invisible Man changes his mask to one of a hard worker. This mask, handed to Invisible Man by parents and teachers, dictates that because the Invisible Man is black he should do whatever a white person tells him to do. That Invisible Man has accepted this mask is indicated b .....

.... through his sermons. Father McKenzie is “darning his socks in the night when there’s nobody there,” which implies he is ashamed. He tries to hide not only the fact that he cannot afford new socks, but he is also hiding his self just as Eleanor did. The seventh stanza brings the two characters together. They are both brought together for Eleanor’s funeral because Father McKenzie is reading her eulogy, but they are brought together in a different way that is more important to the theme. The stanza ends as Father McKenzie comes to a realization that his life is pointless, and Eleanor dies without a husban .....

.... to resist the temptation of hearing the songs. Secondly, he tricked the Cyclops and got away in time before he was killed. Third, Odysseus sends just two of his men, instead of the whole group, to find out about the songs. If he sent them all, they may have got killed. Even though Odysseus is strong and intelligent, he also has enough self-confidence to get him through his journey. If he didn't believe in himself now, how would his men do the same. His men look up to Odysseus and learn from him. Since Odysseus believed in himself he was able to hold his men down so they wouldn't eat the honeyed plant. He also told them that .....

.... talks about Shakespeare's tragic heroes: He creates a hero such as Macbeth, who is a moral coward and for a while a henpecked husband, who in critical moments is rebuked like a schoolboy by his wife and who, on the other hand, proves himself a lion on the battle field. (p.95, The character of the Elizabethan Tragic Hero) Macbeth's vulnerability to the witches is caused by his corrupt desire, which moves him to take a false step. Macbeth is aware that the deed he contemplates is evil from the very beginning. He admits that its 'horrid image' makes his hair stand on end, and his heart knock against his ribs. M .....

.... to convince Creon that he has made grave mistake and to change his decision before it is too late because no men should conflict with the will of god’s. It is hard for creon to believe that there is any higher authority. Haemon, Creon’s son and Creaon’s advisor, Tiresias both fail to redeem Creon of his pride. Heamon fails to change his father’s mind for many different reasons. Even before Haemon presented himself as weak and inferior to his father “ Far be it from me – I haven’t the shill, and certainly no desire, to tell you when, if ever, you make a slip in speech…. Though someone else might have a good sugge .....

.... something they regret so badly, they begin to fall apart emotionally and financially. "While we seekers of earth's treasure, getters and hoarders of gold are self-contained, compact and harmonized." That quote is a metaphor for people who are always trying to find news ways to make more money and those who don't like to spend their money. They are cool, calm, and always prepared for a rainy day. This poem has no rhyming or rhythmic words. It tells how Thomas Rhodes feels about money. The poem is the exact way Thomas would talk if he was alive today. What drew me to this poem was the fact that Rhodes knows that other people affe .....

.... she must hand over the girl. Feeling helpless and having no control over the situation, she feels forced to make a major decision to prevent the young girl from, what she feels, would be a grave predicament. Old Woman Magoun most likely feels responsible for Lily’s situation and her own daughter’s demise and has learned to fear men as a result of it. She fears the girl’s father because he represents the part of herself that she cannot control, Lily. She has no choice but to give up her granddaughter and she cannot bear to lose her to the man she despises, Nelson Barry. Facing the reality of losing Lily is more .....

.... was demented or a genius depends on the reader's point of view. In "Moonlight Drive" Morrison speaks of taking a girl on a moonlight drive and the images he uses takes the reader to the moon, different worlds, and the ocean. Let's swim to the moon Let's climb thru the tide Penetrate the evenin' That the city sleeps to hide Let's swim out tonight, love It's our turn to try Parked beside the ocean On our moonlight drive. Morrison also uses repetition throughout this poem, ending each strophe, save the last with "moonlight drive." The idea of swimming to the moon, and climbing th .....
