.... that nobody knows his place in society or his duty, what he's doing or what he ought to be doing, and that outside of mealtimes...the rest of the day is spent in useless quarrels...-it's one unending warfare. By having this character take on such a pessimistic tone, he directly contradicts the obviously over-optimistic tone of Candide. In the conclusion (page 1617) an old turk instructs Candide in the futility of needless philosophizing by saying that "...the work keeps us from three great evils, boredom, vice, and poverty." In each of these examples, the character chosen by the author comes across as .....

.... Brutus, Cassius and others as actors, self consciously fashioning Roman politics as competing theatrical performances the play enacts the representation of itself to ideology, and of ideology to subjectivity. Moreover if the subjects within the fiction of Julius Caesar are radically unstable by virtue of their representations then so is the theatre whose function is to stage this instability. This means that Julius Caesar fits within this essay’s definitions of Shakespeare’s work reflecting art not life, but also if we are to think of life in terms of people playing roles within their lives where ‘All the .....

.... he that spake this day (p.243)." These facts proved that he was a very loved and influential man in the small town. Hawthorne later portrays him as somewhat of a hypocrite. His outward appearance deceives the villagers, appearing to be a completely holy man. However, before the action of the novel begins, he falls into sin, by committing adultery with Hester Pryne. His cowardly outlook on his sins only causes his troubles to stack up. Abandoning Hester and her illegitimate daughter Pearl, also latched onto his problems, forcing Hester to go and find work around town, an obviously hard task for a single parent. He also abandons .....

.... After this interruption he was unable to complete the poem because his access to the dream was lost. The unfinished work was not published for three decades. Much mystery has enshrouded “Kubla Khan” and it’s meaning due to the circumstances of it’s creation. The poem itself is as mystical and interesting as the story behind its creation. The poem begins with a mythical tone, “In Xanadu did Kubla Khan/ A stately pleasure dome decree.” The poem does not give specifics to nature of the construction of the palace. It just states that Khan decreed the palace be built and then begins descri .....

.... entreat her eyes/To twinkle…” Romeo also uses another image to show how the stars can't compare to Juliet's brightness: “What if her eyes were there, they in her head?/The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,/As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven/Would through the airy region stream so bright” Contrasts between light and dark emphasize the amount of love felt between the two lovers. Changes from light to dark reflect and foretell changes ahead for the couple. Sudden flashes of light depict sudden and violent changes. Juliet foresees problems approaching when she hesitates in making a commi .....

The next major character is Mrs. Peters, the sheriff’s wife. This woman also feels a deep loyalty to womanhood and that is why she does not tell her husband about Mrs. Hale’s crime. This quiet and .....

.... the whole city knew of her plans. After being caught in the act, she was taken to the palace and when asked by Creon why she did it. Knowing the punishment that would come from it, she replied by saying that she didn’t think Creon had the power to overrule the unwritten laws or the Gods and that there are actually many more citizens who agree with what she did, but they were all too afraid to do anything about it. It is clear that Antigone follows divine law and has little respect for the laws of the State. In the Crito, Socrates is approached by his life-long friend Crito while in prison awaiting execution. Crito used m .....
