Hamlet Observations Of Madness
.... the reader with one possible factor for the cause of Hamlets supposed madness. The two men believe that the cause for Hamlets madness is his lack of “advancement” or thwarted ambition. In a conversation with Hamlet in Act II scene II, Guildenstern and Rosencrantz come upon this idea:

Hamlet, The Social And Psychol
.... kill Claudius while “he is drunk asleep, or in his rage, or in th’ incestuous pleasure of his bed” (3.3.94-95). As seen here, Hamlet’s contradicting thought that Claudius “goes to heaven” (3.3.79) influences him to change his plans for revenge. Hamlet eventually realizes that he must avenge his father’s death and states “from this time forth my thoughts be bloody or be nothing worth” (4.4.69). From this, Hamlet has succumbed to the social influence a .....

Hamlets Transformation
.... fashion. He felt betrayed by his mother because he loved and trusted her, but she went and married his uncle soon after his father’s death. He has no feelings anymore; feelings of love, pity and remorse were no longer a part of him. His thoughts had completely taken over him. He also became unsure of who he really was, and lost all sense of life and beauty. He could not enjoy life any more. He proves this by sacrificing the lives of everyone in his way, and all that wronged him, such as Polonius, O .....

Hawthorns Letter A
.... the very essence of Dimmesdale’s quest: to continue in the service of the Lord, while obfuscating from others the flaw that, if they knew, would render him incapable of doing good.
At this point, Dimmesdale’s public appeal is greater than ever before. However, "it is inconceivable, the agony with which this public veneration [tortures] him" (125). It slowly becomes evident that the two halves of Dimmesdale’s quest are incompatible. He cannot become a truly holy man because he m .....

How Does Arthur Miller Expect
.... him more than all my sensible clients’
This makes me think that Eddie wasn’t stupid, and he wasn’t a fool, he was just oblivious to the fact that Catherine was going to grow up, to love others but him, he couldn’t understand why this had to happen.
Alfieri has a great deal of respect for Eddie, like the other characters in the play.
When Eddie is killed by Marco in a fit of rage, he lies, dying in Beatrice’s arms, only then, does he realize what he’s got, and th .....

At this moment she thinks she hears something and says, "Hark! Peace! / It was the owl that shriek'd, the fatal bellman, / Which gives the stern'st good-night. He is about it" (2.2.2-4). A lot happens in these few words. When she says "Hark!" she's telling herself to listen, and then when she says "Peace!" she's telling herself to be quiet, so that she can hear what she's listening for. After she listens, she decides that she heard a screech owl, and sh .....

Another theme which is brought into play is exploitation. In Perfume anyone who exploits Grenouille either dies or suffers. We are present at the birth of Grenouille, his admittance into the orphanage and consequent abuse, Baldini’s discovery of Grenouille’s gift, his self-imposed hibernation and his manipulation of the masses at his near execution.

She believes if the "A" becomes magnified in her reflection, the people who look at her must only notice the scarlet letter. She sees herself as if her true appearance is being hidden behind the "A." She feels that no one looks at her anymore, just the letter. The scarlet letter has ruined her reputation, as wel .....

Huck Finn 2
.... by Huck. They ask Huck about the presence of Jim, on the raft, but Huck is very clever with his answer. Huck assures them that a runaway slave would never go south, and the frauds are satisfied with his answer. The frauds are always looking for a way to get a fast buck.
There is no doubt they would have sold Jim right then and there if it hadn’t been for Huck’s fast thinking. One day, one of the frauds goes ashore and sells Jim as a runaway slave. Even though Huck and Jim were careful not t .....

Huck Finn And Racism
.... Huck has had positive interactions with blacks, and has taken a liking to the slave Jim, who he helped to free, to go with him on his wild adventure. Huck never had very much schooling. This is one of the reasons he is so smart. It may sound odd, but the school system in Huck’s time had an agenda to make little racists out of little kids’ fresh new minds. The famed philosopher, John Locke, believed in an idea he called “Tabula Rasa”. This theory stated that humans were born with .....

Although the river allows them some measure of freedom at once, the moment they set foot on Jackson's Island or the raft and although only on the raft do they have a chance to practice that idea of brotherhood to which they are so devoted. This freedom is very limited and they must still go out of their way to .....

want my nigger.". Then Huck steals Jim from the Phelps farm
(eventhough he was already set free by Miss Watson's will). Huck Finn
changes as we go through the story because Jim is really almost his
slave and he grows to like having Jim wait on him.
In Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain depicts Southern life and society
in the 1870's. The main point that Twain makes is that Southern life
is not as glorious as it' .....

.... He knows subconsciously that Jim has done something wrong. Yet he follows his heart and decides to keep Jims secret. He says” people would call me a low-down abolitionist and despise me for keeping mum”.
