.... symbolically as the wearer of robes not belonging to him. He is wearing an undeserved dignity, which is a crucial point that Shakespeare has made. The description of the purpose of clothing in Macbeth is the fact that these garments are not his. Therefore, Macbeth is uncomfortable in them because he is continually conscious of the fact that they do not belong to him. In the following passage, the idea constantly recurs that Macbeth's new honors sit ill upon him, like loose and badly fitting garments, belonging to someone else: "New honours come upon him, Like our strange garments, cleave not to their mould, But with the aid of use." (Act I, iii: .....

.... At the conclusion of the story, when Alma comes to the realization that her and Theo will not be together forever, it is this point in the story when she really begins to see how her power in the relationship is not balanced and how really she has no control on the outcome. Munro's short story, Miles City Montana, displays a distinct loss of power when the narrator is confronted with the unendurable thought of not being capable of protecting her child from death. The story opens with the narrator's recollection of a childhood memory of a little boy drowning near her home. At the boy's funeral she also recalls thinking of how no one, not ever his f .....

.... devil, at the same time it was against such things as dancing and other premature acts. The reputation of the family was very important to the members of the community. When the girls were caught dancing in the woods, they lied to protect not just themselves but the reputation of their families. They claimed that the devil took them over and influenced them to dance. The girls also said that they saw members of the town standing with the devil. A community living in a puritan society like Salem could easily go into a chaotic state and have a difficult time dealing with what they consider to be the largest form of evil.

.... a spiritual image and perception. The narrator pointing out the fact that their "encounter" takes place in "the dim wood" has a double effect (line5). Primarily it tells us setting; it gives us an idea of where this meeting takes place (as far as this passage is concerned).

The other effect being the pun on the word "dim", Nathaniel Hawthorne chose dim for a reason (it would serve the reader well to remember Author's last name is Dimmesd .....

.... compared to many other people. Iago knows Othello is a proud man, Othello’s open and trusting nature in the beginning of the play lets Iago- cunning, untrustworthy, selfish, and plotting; use him as a scapegoat. Othello, the Moor, as many Venetians call him, is of strong character. He is very proud and in control of every move throughout the play. The control is not only of power but also of the sense of his being who he is, a great warrior. In Act I, Othello has a scuffle with Brabantio, who has come to kill him, but before anything could happen, Othello said: "Hold your hands, both of you of my inclining and the rest. Were it my cue to .....

.... and certain literary devices while maintaining his objectivity. According to McDannald, Rushdie has created a novel which itself is like seas of stories. He stresses the author's artistic use of allegory, which continually enhances the story's depth and appeal. He sees the story's primary motif as this use of allegories, even in novel's title. The hell and repercussions that censorship has visited upon Rashid, the author's fictional counterpart, are clearly meant to reflect Rushdie’s real world after writing The Satanic Verses. McDannald rightly identifies the extreme characteristics of the city of endless sunshine, the Land of Gup, and t .....

.... He loved them all for their own special reason. He also loved animals. Stanza thirteen praises the beauty and worthiness of oxen, tortoises, and mockingbirds. He believed all living things were connected. People are linked with the mares, cats, prairie dogs, and other creatures. Humans are even linked to the grass in the ground (Reef 50). That line sums it up. People are a part of nature. There is a birth, death, and renewal cycle that connects the two. Stanza six is a simple, believable explanation of death. It starts out in a conversation with a child asking what grass is. The line of answer is "the beautiful uncut hair of graves" (Whitma .....
