creature” received from humans pitted him against mankind into an evil and
revengeful state. Shakespeare, however, in his extended metaphor comparing man

by Dorothy's process of growing up, her maturation. Also, since Dorothy's

across the "psychic network of friends" advertisement, just as they were
offering a "free psychic reading to first time callers" all that was required

their experience with the psychic was "life changing," and that "it was so real…

borne for his mirth."
