.... ought to be obvious in the light of modern psychiatry, which bases its analysis upon classic formulations, such as the Oedipus and Orestes complexes, for instances, which were enacted by royal beings, but which apply to everyone in similar emotional situations. Not Exclusive More simply, when the question of tragedy in art is not at issue, we never hesitate to attribute to the well-placed and the exalted the very same mental processes as the lowly. And finally, if the exaltation of tragic action were truly a property of the high-bred character alone, it is inconceivable that the mass of mankind should cherish tragedy above all other forms, let al .....

.... as time goes on. In the beginning she has no friends, but then the townspeople forget her past difficulties and start to appreciate her help. From the beginning she kept her head held high. “She was self-ordained a Sister of Mercy.� The letter “A� comes to stand as meaning able, instead of adultery as before. She willingly comes back to the town and lives there with the scarlet “A� on her chest, after she had left for so many years. Hidden guilt preys on a conscience and brings about hypocrisy. Dimmesdale does not confess his sin, which troubles his conscience as well as his “red stigma,� the unhealed wound on his breast. He .....

.... limited knowledge and through his adolescent view of relationships. His love was simplistic, yet real. He had concrete reasons for his love. He enjoyed being with her. He looked forward to meeting her in the hollow cedar tree. He went out of his way to see her, even if she did not see him. He thought of her no matter what he was doing. In the simplest sense of the word, he loved Hatsue. Hatsue was the second to think she fell in love. She reacted to Ishmael. When they kissed on the boat, she did not think as much of it as Ishmael. She did not realize he loved her until he told her. She then realized she liked being with him, and returned his love pa .....

.... he follows the temptations of the devil, as he desires to be the commander of the elements. He prepares to make the commitment to surrender his soul to Lucifer, on the condition that he is spared for twenty-four years and permitted to indulge himself as he wishes. He is also given Mephistophilis to attend to his every need. Despite the attractiveness of the offer at hand, Faust is pledging his soul to eternal damnation. Because he will have access to infinite knowledge and power, Faust feels the bargain is worthy. He does not see hell as a torment despite the difference of opinion Mephistophilis offers. As the story works towards the actually sig .....

.... this novel is the "quest for individual identity and the influences of the family and community in that quest" (Trescott). This theme is present throughout the novel and evident in many of the characters. Pecola Breedlove, Cholly Breedlove, and Pauline Breedlove and are all embodiments of this quest for identity, as well as symbols of the quest of many of the Black northern newcomers of that time. The Breedlove family is a group of people under the same roof, a family by name only. Cholly (the father) is a constantly drunk and abusive man. His abusive manner is apparent towards his wife Pauline physically and towards his daughter Pecola sexually .....

.... keep in touch through letters without knowing who the other one is. They hate each other, as do Joe and Kathleen, in person, but both couples evidently have a relationship where despite their feelings that the other is a bad person, they find each others good points online or by post. This is shown in The Shop Around the Corner in a quote from Klara, who says to Kralik, "Why, I could show you letters that would open your eyes. No, I guess you probably wouldn't understand what's in them. They're written by a type of man so far superior to you it isn't even funny." The same basic statement is made by Kathleen to Joe in You've Got Mail, where she r .....

.... human relations are those events that give the basis for the escapades of Genji, but it is the more subtle use of nature that gives us the backdrop for the story (and, incidentally, the basis for a paper). The first way that Murasaki employs nature is in her precise characterizations of the dozens of main and minor players in Genji. From the season in which the character appears to the clothes that they wear to the portion of Genji's palace that they inhabit, without a more than casual appreciation to nature in reading this novel a great chunk of the literary value is lost. "[Murasaki} is not content simply to describe the charms of the differen .....

.... After the table incident, when Tom would go outside on the stairs to smoke, Amanda would follow him and start telling him he smoked too much. This shows us Amanda is really is a nag. In Scene II, Amanda seemed to want her daughter Laura to have as many gentlemen callers as she had when she was a young woman. She kept talking about having 17 gentlemen callers at one time. How she would set each one and talk to each one about the important issues of life. Amanda wants to know what each one of her children are doing each minute of the day, in scene III, where Tom and Amanda are having dissolutions about his books, and he can not hav .....

.... is also captivating. Tolkien's elaborate descriptions of all the places in the story are wonderful. Most scenes in The Hobbit are dark and mysterious, which I thought added to the grave mood of the story. The story of Bilbo's adventures is so dangerous that the many settings of the novel had to be gloomy enough to make up for the danger. There are many outstanding characteristics in this story. With so many excellent attributes in The Hobbit, I found it difficult to find many things that were not good. Tolkien's choice of a conflict was not very creative. The plot of this novel is based upon the traditional "going out and taking back what is yours" .....
