Words: 748 / Pages: 3 .... a reader not only emotionally exhausted but also just as alone as Henry and with nowhere to go. The entire work was aware of where it was going and what was going to happen next, and then to stop the way it did was unfair. Now, I've read enough essays while deciding which would be the topic for my class presentation that I know many people see that the unfairness of life and the insignificance of our free will are apparently the most important themes in the book, but I don't agree.

The False Monk
Words: 549 / Pages: 2 .... the Monk has many dainty horses in his stable (166). The Monk not only has one, but many horses.
