.... fights yet, finally, submits herself to destructive forces that surround her. Nastasya Filippovna, defined by her sensual beauty and remarkable looks, is already mentioned by page ten. Her presence remains strong throughout Book One and we may learn a great deal from this section about the proud Nastasya Filippovna. The most dominant feature of Nastasya Filippovna is her beauty. Her great beauty overwhelms even the Prince, who at first we may believe is not inclined to notice sensuality of women. Looking at her picture he calls her "astonishingly pretty"; he notes her "exquisite simplicity," her "dark, deep eyes" (31). Even from her you .....

.... Women had few rights and advantages. If their fathers died, his inheritance would go to the next surviving male relative, this is a prime example of prejudice. The daughters had no chance of supporting themselves unless the married well and were ultimately dependent on their husbands. Unmarried women would become governesses and live as dependents of their family, other relatives, or their employers. The governess position gave them little social status, which opened them up to much prejudice. The scene towards the beginning of the book when Mr. Darcy insults Elizabeth at the ball, is another example of , in social classes. Whereas, Mr.Darcy .....

.... it. Johnson grass and rabbit-tobacco grew in abundance on the front yard. Inside of the house, people said there lived a “malevolent phantom� named Boo Radley (Lee 8). He supposedly went out at night and peeped into other people’s windows. Scout also mentions, “When people’s azaleas froze in a cold snap, it was because he had breathed on them.� (Lee 9) Tall pecan trees shook their fruit into the schoolyard, from the Radley chickenyard. However, the nuts would lay untouched by the children, as it was said that Radley pecans would kill anyone who ate them (Lee 9). Different types of prejudice are evident in this chapter. For instance, Scout .....

.... family that has experienced similar hardships and treats each other in ways that are considered offensive by those members of the outside world. One of the most prominent examples is his use of the Christian names, given by their ancestors slave owners; and their nicknames. Before each black person narrates they are introduced, "Grant Bello aka Cherry" (41). Throughout the entire novel all black people have a nickname in which they only allow the "inner world" to refer to them. When Yank is confessing the crime of killing Beau Griffin begins to take down the name "Yank. Y-a-n-" and is corrected "Sylvester J. Battly . Be sure to spell Sylvest .....

.... business college, and that her father was sending her away to learn how to become a stenographer. This indicates that it was not out of the question for her to work for a living, although after she fell into the hands of Gus Eisman she does nothing of the sort. After living under the care of Mr. Eisman, she easily makes the transition from being a part of the working middle class to the life of leisure of the upper class. This of course would be a tremendous event for most people, but Lorelei seems not to dwell too much on it. She chooses, rather to focus on other more important things like diamond tiaras. So, instead, I will focus on it f .....

.... here, and attempt to show that Ishiguro’s work possesses meaning far beyond an examination of one emotionally-repressed servant. Ishiguro illustrates Stevens, and all of the old English butlers, as characters who basically amount to machines, unable to think for themselves. They see loyalty to the master as the only thing that matters in the world. Every time Stevens ends his lines with "sir," he is repressing his true identity. Ishiguro makes the reader wonder how on earth a person could get to be like this, for the sole reward of having the best silver in the house or the best-starched suits. The old service culture of b .....

.... two stories by leaving out many of the twists and turns of "Greasy Lake" in "," but in the same sense has become more exciting with more violence and action. The plots in the two stories are similar in structure and pattern of action. They both include violence and regretful lessons learned the hard way, and seam to involve similar events and characters. A definite change in Boyle’s plot over the course of the two stories however, is the loss in significance and importance of the plot and the take over by setting and character instead. A well-defined thread connecting the two stories are the plot similarities. In both stor .....

.... to heaven and Hamlet wants him to rot in hell. "Hamlet: No might I do it pat, now he is praying; And now I’ll do’t: and so he goes to heaven: And so am I revenged. That would be scann’d: A villain kills my father; and, for that, I, his sole son, do this same villain send To heaven. O, this is hire and salary, not revenge. He took my father grossly, full of bread, With all his crimes broad blown, as flush as May; And how his audit stands who knows save heaven?" (Shakespeare, Hamlet, III, iii, 7 .....
