.... The reader may regard the novel as a serious study of human problems such as love and hate, or revenge and jealousy. One may even consider the novel Bronte’s personal interpretation of the universe. However, when all is said and done, Heathcliff and Catherine are the story. Their powerful presence permeates throughout the novel, as well as their complex personalities. Their climatic feelings towards each other and often selfish behavior often exaggerates or possibly encapsulates certain universal psychological truths humans are too afraid to express. Heathcliff and Catherine’s stark backgrounds evolve respectively into dark personalities and mi .....

.... ended by a tragic moment of realization. Joe Keller goes through this slow, and painful, process of realization. It has been hard work for Keller to maintain his blind ignorance toward his crime, and his guilt; however, despite his efforts, his tainted past is continually creeping into his sacred inner circle, the only world that Keller allows himself to recognize. When Keller sees that his inner circle is only a tiny speck in the greater outer circle - and that those people, whom he thought were unrelated to him, were actually all his sons - he takes his own life, an acceptable ending for the reader. As Miller's play ends, the personal belie .....

.... he deals with every day of his life. Readers of Gore Vidal should realize that he is out to shock the public with his beliefs, and he accomplishes this task quite well by being in favor of homosexuality. Gore Vidal sees nothing but positive outcomes should homosexuality become an accepted practice. According to American Writers “The consequences of publishing a gay novel in 1948 were severe, and Vidal’s literary career nearly ground to a premature halt” (681). With the publication of The City and the Pillar, Vidal became ostracized by his fellow writers and the public as well. Homosexuality is not an accepted practice to .....

.... around her seemed to have. Anne's Mother was a woman who was more traditional than anything else and wanted Anne to be more like a lady. One such person was Margot. As Anne's sister, she was very nice and didn't speak out and was very proper. The Frank's weren't the only ones in this attic, there were other people such as the Van Daans. Mr. Frank let them stay because they needed a place to hide and since they had helped him out so much in the past by actually teaching Mr. Frank German, he felt it was the least he could do. The Van Daans had a son which Anne later became interested in. Peter was the only person who Anne could understand and kne .....

.... the community and city before again focusing on the clergymen. By organizing his argument this way, the reader is drawn in as a spectator with no immediate defenses to contrary thought. Secondly, King continues his use of logos through careful definition of terms. He specifies, “A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral low or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law� (54). By defining just and unjust laws, King enabled the rationalization of the breaking of some laws to enable his nonviolent campaign. By use of logos, King defends the justification of his demonstrations, while .....

.... the power to predict the future. Dictating what is to come through terse tidbits, these people may also be looked upon as superstitious. In the opening scene, one sooth-sayer, old in his years, warns Caesar to "Beware the Ides of March," an admonition of Caesar's impending death. Although sooth-sayers are looked upon by many as insane out of touch lower classmen, a good deal of them, obviously including the sayer Caesar encountered, are indeed right on the mark. Since they lack any formal office or shop, and they predict forthcomings without fee, one can see quite easily why citizens would distrust their predictions. Superstition, in general elements .....

.... at,�(p.68) and then we react to whatever we see as it relates to ourselves. “To look is an act of choice. As a result of this act, what we see is brought within our reach...our vision is continually active, continually holding things in a circle around itself, constituting what is present to us as we are.�(p.68) Words can not even begin to describe what we see or feel. “When in love, the sight of the beloved has a completeness which no words and no embrace can match: a completeness which only the act of making love can temporarily accommodate.�(p.68) Berger states that no image (painting, photograph, or any other art) should ever be .....

.... first major test,� as Goldstein said in his book International Relations 3rd ed.. In Bosnia there is still an ongoing struggle and as of right now it can’t be seen if the new world system is working. The way things are being dealt with right now seems to be working for the most part, contrary to neo-realist belief that unipolarity is dangerous. The way society is now headed seems to be following a more liberal path, with . Liberalism seems to be the theory that will be able to best deal with the twenty-first century. States need to be able to depend on each other for economic needs and for security. People should also have more control over .....

.... defects of the person with whom you are to pass your life." This is a quote from Charlotte Lucas, one of the female characters in the novel, and a quote which very well exemplify the general feelings against marriage for the period and the people in upperclass England. Marriage is central for all characters in the novel: not just daughters and sons, but parents, aunts, uncles and everybody else who has some interest in the subject. Though it is of course most in the interest of the daughter herself to get married, the interests of the own family can be important for the choice of husband and wife. It is not appropriate for the daughter to choose wh .....

.... Lady of Shalott surrounded by “…four grey walls, and four grey towers…”. (Tennyson, line 15). She is largely unaware of the world outside and of her own existence as a woman, only being able to see shadows of reality, which are reflected by her magic (?) crystal mirror and worked into her web. At this point of time it is unknown to the reader whether the Lady of Shalott is forced to be in this situation or chose to live this life of isolation. Reasons for a self inflicted seclusion might be homophobia, the fear of rejection by the exterior world, or simply a lack of interest for it. However, the Lady of Shalott is quite c .....
