.... and despite the previous opinion of the reader, Burgess reveals the outcome in a way that causes a sense of relief and is pleased to see Alex back to ‘normal’. It is fascinating to consider that Burgess may have written A Clockwork Orange as a prophetic view of warning to future societies. He was a peaceful person who didn’t want the stark consequences of the fictional Alex to become a grim reality. Through the first of three parts in the novel Burgess displays Alex as the embodiment of all that society would like to ignore or eliminate - but can’t. This first person narrative is told by Alex a youth of fifteen .....

.... As Johnson’s character develops throughout this short story, some key events push him to his limit and cause him to lose control.

.... the work of thy hands and favor the designs of the wicked? Are thy days as the days of man, or thy years as man’s years, that thou dost seek out my iniquity and search for my sin, although thou knowest that I am not guilty, and there is none to deliver out of thy hand?” (Job, chapter 10, verses 3, 5-7). We will assume Job has as much agency as one could who was “blameless and upright, one who feared God, and turned away from evil” (Job, chapter 1, verse 1). The events that destroy Job’s property and children seem to be agency limiting by their very nature. To Job, the entire chain of inciden .....

.... graves. They are still able to talk, yet only in a lackadaisical tone. They provide the audience, at the end, with a sense of guilt or loss. The fact that the people of Grover’s Corners did not realize the importance of life until it was gone, makes the audience feel as if they should be getting more out of their lives. Wilder so precisely portrays the idea, that the audience is left wondering if they too, like the people of Grover’s Corners, are not living life to the fullest. The play makes you think, whether for a split moment or a long time, about the idea of being aware while going about even the most me .....

.... the workings of the environment around them. This was so because unlike us, the Greeks believed that they already had explanations for trivial questions such as, “Where the world came from?” “Who are we?” and “Who controls the world around us?” To them all these questions could simply be explained by looking at their own mythology. It is hard for us to really understand how deeply these beliefs were rooted into their personalities, to the Greeks if some natural phenomenon occurred it occurred because one of their gods had decided to make it occur, it was just as simple as that. The existence of .....

.... her feel like she was unpleasant to look at. She secluded herself and felt ashamed. These events led to the other, non-social activities.

.... addicted to the fame, royal favor, and titles such as ¡§valor¡¦s minion¡¨ (Shakespeare, 13) and ¡§Bellona¡¦s bridegroom¡¨ (Shakespeare, 15). No doubt he also rejoices in the success that crowns his efforts in battle. Macbeth remains an honorable gentleman until he begins to covet the kingship. He is not a criminal and has no criminal tendencies. Gradually, Macbeth¡¦s error in being guided too much by outside forces brings ruin to him. Macbeth¡¦s strong belief in the prophecies is part of this error. If it had not been for the witches telling him that he would be Thane of Glamis, Thane of Cawdor, and King .....

.... all aspects of nature and its relevance to human life. They explore the powers and influences of nature over mankind. However, Melville centers his point of view upon mankind in conflict with nature's forces, while Thoreau believes that if mankind experiences nature, we will envelope ideas which will teach mankind to live harmoniously in our natural environment; in turn, allowing individuals to reach the highest levels of achievement synergistically with nature. In Moby Dick, Herman Melville illustrates man's quest to attain the supreme power of God through the monomaniacal Captain Ahab. Captain Ahab is obsessed with .....

.... as simple as the sun setting, “The dropping of the daylight in the West.” In the following passage the reader is given the first glimpse of what probably led the Duke to such a violent act: She thanked men -- good! but thanked Somehow -- I know not how -- as if she ranked My gift of a nine-hundred-years-old name With anybody's gift. The Duke, it appears, was jealous of the attention that she gave to others. Browning tells us much about the type of person the Duke was in these lines: Even had you skill In speech -- which I have not -- to make your will Quite clear to such an one, and say, "Just this Or t .....
