.... had to be subservient. It was an off thing to see my mother down at the barn. She did not often come out of the house unless it was to do something - hang out the wash or dig potatoes in the garden. She looked out of place, with her bare lumpy legs, not touched by the sun, her apron still on and damp across the stomach from the supper dishes.1 The narrator had problems coming to terms with the role in life that she was expected to lead. She wanted to work outside with her father doing the work that she deemed important. The mother tried to get the narrator to work inside doing work deemed appropriate for a lady, however it was not .....

.... Using the more explicit relationship in King Lear, one finds a better understanding of the relationship in Hamlet. While Shakespeare does not directly pit Ophelia’s insanity (or breakdown) against Hamlet’s madness, there is instead a clear definitiveness in Ophelia’s condition and a clear uncertainty in Hamlet’s madness. Obviously, Hamlet’s character offers more evidence, while Ophelia’s breakdown is quick, but more conclusive in its precision. Shakespeare offers clear evidence pointing to Hamlet’s sanity beginning with the first scene of the play. Hamlet begins with guards whose main importance in the play is to give credibility to the .....

.... of you shall we say doth love us most, that we our largest bounty may extend.� (1, 1, 56-57) By doing this, Lear gives an opportunity for his daughters to take advantage of him. Goneril “loves [him] more than words can wield the matter’ (1, 1, 60) and the same goes for Regan saying, “[Goneril] comes too short, that [she] profess [herself] an enemy of all other joys.� (1, 1, 79-80) They don’t really love Lear, but instead they love the power that Lear gives them. Once Lear had given the land to his daughters, the power that they have corrupts them. When Lear needs a place to stay, the daughters are not quick to react; Goneril allows .....

.... Constantly mocked and insulted by Antonio's and others' diatribes, Shakespeare immediately identifies Shylock as a villain. Establishing Shylock's personality through his description that "hath not a Jew hands, … affections, passions" shows that Shylock becomes limited by those descriptions (MV 3.1.56-8). Hence, Shylock conforms "no more than an opportunity for bringing him to life" because Shylock like the other characters, once created, determines the plot and the plot determines them (Palmer 114). With a great importance of first impression or lines of a character in Shakespeare's plays, Shakespeare reveals Shylock's personality through h .....

.... same thoughts as Brad "life is cheap to those type of people". The degenerate of America were all lined up outside the theatre with seven dollars in hand to put on a show and take part in their right of passage. The Rocky is a very long show when watched by ones self. Yet, add some energetic sprites and the show takes on the persona of a Broadway play. The window shoppers just see men and women cross-dressed and not the masterpiece inside the theatre. Sometimes people need to step back from the window and walk over to open up the door in order to see the big picture. The big picture is present in my life. The essay "" has a relationship with my .....

.... I noticed Odysseus acting like a human or mortal, was in the story of "Scylla and Charybdis" when Scylla ate some of his men. Odysseus at that time, lost what he thought, were his best men, he said that it was one of the saddest things he's seen: "As he, if then he takes a fish,/ Flings it aloft out of the sea/ All quivering, even so she swung them/ All quivering up to her high crag./ There she devoured them, one and all,/ Before her doorway, while they shrieked/ And still stretched out their hands to me/ In dying agony. that sight/ Was the saddest sight my eyes/ have ever seen, while through sore trials/ I wandered the sea's ways." I interpreted .....

.... people in the kingdom. Like Beowulf, Superman lives in seclusion from the society in which he lives. He apartment is purposely set on the opposite side of town from everyone he works with. In relation to the common man’s life-style, we can easily assume that Superman does not make much money. This fact is defined by Superman’s day job as a reporter for the city of Metropolis. The “ideal man� of past and present has to posses the quality of intelligence. Beowulf shows great intelligence in his approach towards his battles. In his battle with Grendel, Beowulf uses a soldier for a decoy to expose Grendel’s strengths: Grende .....

.... is much reason in his sayings" (Shakespeare III, ii, 118). By being able to convince the general public of what he is saying and his point, he is effectively leading them. Another good trait of a leader is a quick thinker; Antony is good at this also. He uses his swift thinking to more easily convince the populace of Rome. When speaking at Caesar's funeral, he thinks to bring up the will of Caesar by saying "But here's a parchment with the seal of Caesar. / I found it in his closet. 'Tis his will"(III, ii, 140-141). Antony could not have possibly been to Caesar's home to get the will before his speech, but he briskly thinks of another way to convince .....

.... . a counteracting breeze blew off land, and continually drove me back." The gale is all the forces that prevent Jane's union with Rochester. Later, Brontë, whether it be intentional or not, conjures up the image of a buoyant sea when Rochester says of Jane: "Your habitual expression in those days, Jane, was . . . not buoyant." In fact, it is this buoyancy of Jane's relationship with Rochester that keeps Jane afloat at her time of crisis in the heath: "Why do I struggle to retain a valueless life? Because I know, or believe, Mr. Rochester is living." Another recurrent image is Brontë's treatment of Birds. We first witness Jane's fascination when she .....

.... husband". Should the husband fall ill, it was her duty to nurse him. As Mr Trumbull remarks, "a man whose life is of any value should think of his wife as a nurse". Mr Causabon married so as to secure "the solace of female tendance for his declining years". As with his work, causabon is disillusioned about his marriage. He had married Dorothea hoping for a quiet docile companion who could also function as his secretary. Instead, he finds a person who makes intellectual demands on him that he is unable to fulfil. His marriage can be added to his long list of failures of which he is aware but which he is unable to acknowledge fully. Similarly, in Pri .....
