.... love with him, thereby contributing to his own misery. These aspects of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night contribute to the realistic portrayal of each character, while at the same time bringing out the play's comedic overtones. Malvolio brings a powerful presence to the play when he is forced to play the fool. He who at one point defined the word puritan now finds himself in a new role: that of a cross-gartered lover. In this way, he shows himself to be a hypocrite: he "lowers himself" to the level of Toby when he becomes a player himself. Maurice Charney describes the role of Malvolio quite well, saying: "The most obvious effect of this structure is to f .....

The forms of the individual narratives help us to understand the reality of society because they allow the characters to emerge as individuals, telling their own stories with undisguised honesty. is told from the oldest to the youngest character showing how society instilled its ideals on each generation in an uncompromising manner and so the stories overlap and intertwine, to illustrate this D’Aguiar has used an overwhelming tone of sadness and despair to emphasise the negative feelings that socie .....

.... of the forms Richard is encountering is called societal oppression. As an example, after Richard sees a "black" boy whipped by a "white" man, he asks his mother why did the incident happen. His mother says, " ‘The "white" man did not whip the "black" boy…He beat the "black" boy, ’ "(31). This quote is showing racism, which is one way of society keeping Richard Wright, and all other blacks in the South down. Another example is when is at the rail road station with his mother, and as they are waiting for the train, he sees something he has never seen, "…for the first time I noticed that there were two lines of people at the ticket window, a "whi .....

.... year at Trinity, there is a chocolate sale run by the assistant head master, Brother Leon.

.... of events. Allusions frequently show Siddhartha’s conditions by means of clever imagery suggesting circular motion and an immobile state. Siddhartha is first compared to a potter’s wheel that slowly revolves and comes to a stop. From here, Siddhartha meets the elegant and beautiful, Kamala, gets caught “off track� and entangles himself in a “senseless cycle� of acquiring and squandering wealth. In the final chapters, Siddhartha proves that achieving or over-coming obstacles do lead to better Unity. Prior to making a leap forward in reaching his goal, Siddhartha finds himself in despair. He speaks to Vasudeva, the ferryman. The ferryman .....

.... freak, some circus act, some goddamn freak show! Do they get their kicks out of just looking at me and making some dim-witted comments to their friends? I’m sick of these bastards, absolutely sick of them. Here I am wheeling through the shopping centre just wanting to go to the music store to pick up that new CD I wanted. But as usual I have to deal with being stared at continuously by these narrow-minded people who just think of me as some kind of retard. I don’t remember the accident, the car accident that is. I remember growing up in the wheelchair though. Well, for a while when I was young it wasn’t a wheelchair that I had; it was this l .....

.... that’s worth the noting." (53-54) However, Don Pedro retorts, "Note notes, forsooth, and nothing," playing on Balthasar’s words, and also demanding that he pay attention to his music and nothing else. In addition, much of the play is dedicated to people "noting" (or observing) the actions of others (such as the trick played on Beatrice and Bene*censored* by Leonato, Hero and Claudio); they often observe and overhear one another, and consequently make a great deal out of very little. Author The political and cultural events of the 15 century had a large influence on Shakespeare’s work. In , Don Pedro, Prince of Arragon, Don John, his brothe .....

.... content of those legal pads resulted in a bestseller, of which contained Maya Angelou’s flowing style, the use of dialect, settings, and characterization. Dialect is very influential to the tone of Angelou’s autobiography, as it was to the tone of Herman Melville’s Billy Budd. It was only through the dialect that the reader was able to understand Billy’s character. As in Billy Budd, Angelou uses dialect in her writings to enhance the tone of the book. “That’s right. You know, the children was readin’ me something th’ other day, Say folks dream about whatever was on their mind when they went to sleep.& .....

.... to Usselo she met Dini Hannink, they went to her house together. They stayed there for about to two weeks. Then they had to go to the Oostervelds. They were really nice people. Johan was a farmer, Dientje, and Opoe (Johan’s mother). They were supposed to stay there for at least a week because Mr. Hannink thought a German followed him. Annie’s legs were getting crooked and couldn’t walk that much so she had to exercise. She really hated to do that. After a year and a half they haven’t even seen how the house looked. And Sini really wanted a tan. So Johan let them go out. He was going to pick them up around dinner. But then Dient .....

.... Although from his repulsive behavior, Caliban can be viewed as a detestable beast of nature, it can be reasonably inferred that Shakespeare’s intent was to make Caliban a sympathetic character. During the first encounter, Caliban comes across very bestial and immoral. While approaching Caliban’s cave, Prospero derogatorily says, "…[he] never/Yields us kind answer," meaning Caliban never answers respectfully. When Prospero reaches the cave, he calls to Caliban. Caliban abruptly responds, "There’s wood enough within." His short, snappy reply and his odious tone, reveal the bitterness he feels from leading a servile life. C .....
