.... of view throughout the whole novel. Personally, Fyodor dislikes some of his qualities but understands that all people are plagued with some bad traits, and that Raskolnokv is trying to make emends for some of his wrong doings, i.e. the murder of the pawnbroker and her sister. He knows that what he did was wrong and is willing to suffer for his crime, and he does throughout the whole book with his constant depression. Dostoesky believes in punishment for your crimes, this is why he shows Raskolnokov suffering through most of the novel, to show his great love for penance. Dostoevsky likes the kind giving nature of people; this is why he portrays the .....

.... often got scared but he didn't want anyone (especially Scout) to know it. He would often do things even if he really didn't want to, because he was brave and proud. This pride was for himself and his family.His father was very important to him; Jem thought it was his dutyto stick up for his father when others in the town said thingsabout him. "Jem," he said, "are you responsible for this?" "Yes sir." "Why'd you do it?" Jem said softly, "She said you lawed for niggers and trash." Jems bravery was also evident in other character traits;emotions were a large part of his life. Because Atticus was a lawyer, Jem often went to the court room and notic .....

.... All of the marriages in the book formed under the bonds of money rather than the bonds of love end up unhappy or unsuccessful. The whole novel outlines attempts to dance around love for the combination of a wealthy person with an attractive person. The first line of Pride and Prejudice, “It is a universally acknowledged fact that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife�, sets the tone for the rest of the novel. We interpret it to mean that a wealthy man either actively pursues a wife based on his knowledge that no one would turn down a wealthy suitor, or attractive women use their beauty to their advantage .....

.... no free will because their placement on the social scale is low because of their family which they are born out of. This is also the same for the characters in Tess of the D'Urbervilles. "Tess's tragedy: she moves in a world where insensitivity, coarseness and greed make it impossible for her to live as she should" (Great Writers). During this time, the family name is important. The insensitivity and greed that is directed toward Tess, comes from her mother, Joan. Joan only wants Tess to marry a man with an aristocratic name so that he family can become wealthy. Tess's feelings are not considered. Therefore her life is also planned out for her, like .....

.... relies little on this element. This tale could have occurred anywhere and can be placed in any era. This makes the setting the weakest element of “The Black Cat.” Next, symbolism is always an integral part of any Poe story. The most obvious of symbolic references in this story is the cat’s name, Pluto. This is the Roman god of the underworld. Pluto contributes to a strong sense of hell and may even symbolize the devil himself. Another immensely symbolic part of “The Black Cat” is the title itself, since onyx cats have long connoted bad luck and misfortune. The most amazing thing about the symbolism in this story or i .....

.... experienced night terror could not remember what they experienced. However, people who have experienced nightmares remember what happened. Right now, nobody believes demons or evils produce nightmares. Actually, the physical illness, mental illness, stresses and helplessness produce nightmares. From the research of the people who have experienced nightmares, it has been learned that most people continue to have nightmares from childhood to the present. According to scientist, these experiences are caused by illness of the above. Especially, these people who have experienced nightmare are influenced very easily.

.... hierarchical establishment. However, Milton does not want to be confused with the stereotypical puritan. Milton the poet, seems to celebrate the ideal of sex; yet, he deplores concupiscence and warns against the evils of lust, insisting lust leads to sin, violence and death. From the beginning, Satan, like fallen humanity, not only blames others; but also makes comic and grandiose reasons for his evil behavior. Yet, despite his reasoning to seek revenge against God, "his true motivation for escaping from hell and perverting paradise is, at least partly, something more basic: Satan needs sex" (Daniel 26). In the opening books of the poem, S .....

.... reveals that both Nora and Emma are reflections of social and political viewpoints of their authors, and are at least partially based on people that the authors knew. First of all, it is important to know the socio-economic status and background of the two authors. It is also good to at least have an idea about the society in which they lived. Then it is possible to see why they had certain viewpoints and how these viewpoints had an effect on the personalities and actions of their characters. Gustave Flaubert was born on December 12, 1821 in Rouen, France to a wealthy surgeon. As a boy he was well aware of the incompetence in the medical profe .....

.... it meant shame and that he had something to hide. I think that the minister thought that it was his mission to show how superficial the people were. The ministers own fiancee left him because no one knew anything about the veil he wore. Again in The Scarlet Letter, I can think of two more major examples where an object was used as a sign or omen. The first is of course the letter, it meant evil, shame, and sin to the townspeople. All it was, was a letter nothing more, nothing less. The second object that people took as a prolific sign was the weeds on a grave. They reasoned that the weeds were there because of the sins of that person, an .....

.... the Great Depression. This time of hardship and struggle for the rest of America gave Steinbeck inspiration for his work. Other peoples' stories of everyday life became issues for Steinbeck. His writings spoke out against those who kept the oppressed in poverty and therefore was branded as a Communist because of his "voice." Although, it did become a bestseller and receive countless awards, his book was banned in many schools and libraries. However, critics never attacked The Grapes of Wrath on the artistic level and they still consider it a beautifully mastered work of art. More than any other American novel, it successfully embodies a contemp .....
