.... left him reeling from post traumatic stress disorder. Once a strong, spiritual man who thrived on innocence and tradionional Jewish values, Seymour returns to a materialistc post-war society that does not understand the emotional trauma of a veteran.

Seymour is married to a typical Jewish American Pr .....

.... He finds the controversy around the mystery of the boy's conception amusing. He employs his own son as one of his servants, as his "lackey." Although incredible attention to detail is paid to the story of Lizaveta, Dostoevsky waits to speak of the boy himself. It is as if the author is all ready separating this last son. Dostoevsky claims to not want to go into detail about so as not to distract the reader from the story. However, it is an intention set-up on the part of the author. When we finally learn more of this mysterious character, it is not until four chapters later. Dostoevsky is oddly able to summariz .....

.... to writers of moralistic fiction, and to critics who expressed disapprobation at finding no discernible moral in his works. The tale "Never Bet the Devil Your Head: A Tale with a Moral" presents Poe's "way of staying execution" (Poe 487) for his transgressions against the didactics. The story's main character is Toby Dammit, who from infanthood, had been flogged left-handed, which since the world revolves right to left, causes evil propensities to be driven home rather than driven out. The narrator relates that by the age of seven months, Toby was chasing down and kissing the female babies, that by eight months he had flatly ref .....

.... and he tries to prove that Gene did in fact push Finny off. The result of all of this revenge and the result of Brinker’s existence is that Finny finds out the truth which is that Gene did knock him out of the tree on purpose. The major result is that Finny dies because of Brinker. So Brinker, being a minor character, has the role of partly causing Finny to die in the end. If it wasn’t for Brinker, Finny would have still been alive. Minor characters also add plot and volume to the story and keep it alive. For example Leper’s going to the war. When Leper goes to the war, it is brought as a surprise. This is because Leper i .....

.... doubts as to who his father really is. “My mother always told me I’m his son, it’s true, but I am not so certain.” (I, 249). This is mentioned because Telemachus, and the suitors, feel that if he were really the son of Odysseus then he would have the strength to stop the destruction of his house. Before Telemachus enters manhood he needs people to help guide him. First it takes the disguised goddess Athena to start him down the path. Athena starts by telling Telemachus to call the lords to full assembly and give the order for each of the suitors to scatter to his own place. She also instructs him to grow up and sto .....

.... her place to act on her own behalf. Miss Emily willingly accepted her role in the household. The name and the attitudes that Mr. Grierson passed on to his daughter Emily symbolically opposed the change that was going on around them. Even after his death, Miss Emily kept her father’s decaying body in the house. Following in her father’s footsteps, she clung tightly to the past telling everyone in the town he was still alive and refusing to accept the her father’s death. Although the law intervened and buried her father, the “crayon portrait of Miss Emily’s father” further emphasized the great effect he had on her life .....

.... to take care of themselves until the right man comes along. Their discretion will be tenfold, and they will be able to wait for the proverbial "Mr. Right". Fuller gives three wonderful examples of how equality gets broken down in a marriage. The first is the "household partnership"(42), where the man goes off to work and makes a living to support the family, and the woman stays home barefoot and pregnant, takes care of the children and tends to the house. There is a mutual admiration between the husband and wife because they both keep up their end of the bargain. But there is no love built into this relationship .....

.... and stubborn. She adamantly refused to be forced in to a marriage with Demetrius. A woman was not allowed to be blatant and rebellious in those times. Still, Hermia did not care. She said that she will marry the man she loves or she will die unwed. This display of a death threat was parallel to that of Pyramus when he killed himself for love. Egeus found Hermia's choice of a husband unacceptable and took her in front of Theseus, the Duke of Athens. Theseus told Hermia that she must obey her father or die. Hermia was lucky that Theseus was also in love and ready to get married otherwise he would have put an end to Hermia's beh .....

.... for individual happiness. There is a real sense in which his philosophy turns on the concepts of virtue, and his belief that ultimately virtue is its own reward. His first major point is that justice is an excellence of character. He then seeks agreement that no excellence is achieved through destructive means. The function of justice is to improve human nature, which is inherently constructive. Therefore, at a minimum, justice is a form of goodness that cannot be involved in injuring someone's character. Justice, in short, is a virtue, a human excellence. His next point is that acting in accordance with excellence brings happi .....
