.... they simply were created in his neurotic mind as he slept. Dreams, therefore, play an important developmental role in the explanation of Hawthorne's characters. In The Birthmark, Aylmer has a dream in which he commits an act of horrendous cruelty to his wife, Georgiana. This dream delves into Aylmer's personality, as the realization that he will stop at nothing in order to destroy the slight imperfection on the cheek of Georgiana. Dreams are often viewed as a perception of a person's unconscious mind. Aylmer is not a selfish man in his wishes for his wife to have her birthmark removed. He is just unable to control himself, much like children do .....

.... of characters in it. It also makes it more powerful by making the reader feel more emotions over the reading. The following are a few examples of the ways Shelley expresses this concept in the novel. One way Shelley shows nature as an inspiration is through the geography of the settings. In the beginning of the novel when Victor lives in Geneva it is described, as isolated and dwarfed by massive snow capped mountain ranged and hunted be the emptiness of the lake. Later on in the novel and in the letters in the beginning Shelly puts the characters in the wildest, most isolated areas in Europe: The Swiss and French Alps, the Rhine Valley, the Outer H .....

.... and Phaedrus accomplished this more than once. The first time was with his new personality, the second, his daughter, Nell. Like this, sometimes all a friendship needs is a second chance. If two friends get upset at each other, if they have a good enough relationship, they'll at least attempt to work things out. Obviously, if they have enough in common to be such good friends, they'll have enough patience with the other person to compromise. Compromise is an important part of any relationship; no friendship would last without it. Phaedrus was a lucky and, at the same time, unfortunate man in many ways. He got new chances in at life but .....

He used to let swarms of crickets run rampant through the house (www.byronjournal). Because of this Byron's mother moved them nearby to Nottingham. They were very poor. The Byron estate was mostly tied up in lawsuits, but Mrs. Byron finally got her son a decent income. He was sent to Dr. Glennie's Academy at Dulwich and then to Harrow, where he was tormented by the other boys ( .....

.... lives of his friends unfold and happen around him, but without his participation. I read that Hemingway had purposely re-written the book in first person and this was probably to spell out that Jake was an observer and was thus aware of what was written on the pages. There is a scene towards the end of the book where Jake finds all of his friends eating at a restaurant and thinks to himself that he is too far behind to catch up. Jake always seems behind, or at least only a marginal player put so in his position because of his injury. He must have had relations with Brett before the injury and was a "player" before it, so this leads to the assumptio .....

They invoke common experiences that everyone has experienced. After reading these action words, the reader begins to develop a image of what it was like to be Huck at that point. This image is further aided by other factors. The other factors that influence the image the reader perceives are: word use, literary devices, allusions to common experiences, and specific details. Some of the specific details include use of color and descriptions of the environment. Viv .....
