.... position close to the garden that it grew within. Vito would retreat to this garden to escape the troubles of the outside world when they became unbearable. He describes the garden to us as; “The garden that kept them little children even as adults;” This could be taken as that it did not actually affect Vito physically young but rather it altered him mentally. He would become like Adam and Eve before evil and like that of a young child, all ignorant of all troubles. Complexity and all other dilemma’s that plagued their lives. So in this garden he would escape his troubles through the means of ignoring the .....

.... Macbeth. He wrote, ³...came missives from the King, who all-hailed me Thane of Cawdor, by which title, before, these weyard sisters saluted me, and referred me to the coming on of time with ŒHail, King that shalt be!² Since the witches had predicted Macbeth gaining Thane of Cawdor, he believed they might be right about him replacing Duncan, as the letter continues, ³This have I thought good to deliver thee, my dearest partner of greatness, that thou mightst not lose the dues of rejoicing by being ignorant of what greatness is promised thee.

I cannot, now that this fate has come upon me, discard the arguments I used; they seen to me much the same."( p.48b) The introduction of this work has also provided the concept that it is our society or majority that has dictated what is considered virtuous action. According to Socrates we have been given every opportunity to reject our society and renounce what it has stood for and against. "Not one of our laws raises any obstacle or .....

.... Esto resume, completamente, la filosofía del narrador, Meursault durante la primera parte del libro. Este señor es tan apatiático que no le importa ni cuando murió su madre. “Está contento solo con el acto de vivir[2].”Pasa la primera parte del libro con esta actitud; una persona típica le da más importancia a la vida de un ratón lo que Meursault le da a la vida de su madre. Con esto viene un desafío al valor de la vida. Si no hay importancia a ningúna parte de la vida, entonces la vida en si no tiene valor. Demuestra Camus que no hay razón para darle a ninguna parte de la vida importancia. Si u .....

.... have to do the same because she realizes they are a reflection of herself. She expresses how women have to move without being seen in society. The window does not represent a gateway for her. She can not enter what she can see outside of the window, literally, because John will not let her, (there are bars holding her in), but also because that world will not belong to her, she will be oppressed like all other women. She will be controlled, and be forced to suffocate her self-expression. The only prospect of possibilities that this window shows are all negative. It shows a world in where she will be oppressed and forced to .....
