“Do You Believe In Fate Neo,”
Words: 1215 / Pages: 5 .... leaving their lives in the hands of fate. The theme that racism doesn’t allow the oppressed to control their lives can be demonstrated through the symbolism of the rat, the poster outside of Bigger’s apartment, and Bigger’s encounter with the “nut” in jail.

Odysseus’s actions are indeed aggressive and morality at this point in his life seems to have faded.
All these things considered, the validity of Odysseus’s actions remain fair. Because of his denial of the power of the gods, Poseidon forced Odysseus to the raging sea. For these years that h .....
