.... the operation is simple and how “it” is the only thing that has made them unhappy. One can tell that Jig doesn’t really want to go through with the operation by the way she talks. She asks him, “And if I do it you’ll be happy and things will be like they used to be and you’ll love me?” It sounds like she really doesn’t think that he’ll love her if she does have the kid. It also sounds like he isn’t really concerned about her safety either. .....

Hester Prynne 2
.... alone in the dark forest is surrounded by a circle of trees. These scrubby trees “did not so much conceal the cottage from view, as seem to denote that here was some object which would fain here been, or at least ought to be, concealed.” (pg. 76) The Puritans despise secrecy, as is seen when Hester’s sin is displayed in public fashion and also in the scarlet letter itself. Both of these showcasings of Hester’s sin, leave her with nothing to hide before the Puritans. The forest i .....

House Of The Seven Gables
.... our reader of the ‘experience’ or ‘story’ that is being written about.
Although Nathaniel Hawthorne’s allegory, The House of Seven Gables, was not entirely true, the incomparable part of it had to do with his personal history and his cultural background. His relation to the house was from his cousin Phoebe and the ideas about the witch trials were because he was living in the very time they were taking place. Therefore, I do think that the personal history and cult .....

Sergius is also good-looking, or believes himself to be, and it is revealed that he is also leading a rather scandalous attachment to Louka. He is certainly melodramatic, as he “posts himself with conscious dignity against the steps” and “with old measured emphasis, folding his arms,” says, “I never apologise!” However, he knows that he is acting the part of a romantic hero because it is .....

Homer also portrayed the loyal daughter type using Naussica, the young princess of Scheria and daughter of King Alcinous. Like most daughters from the Greek civilization, she thought the world of her parents, and they thought the world of her as well. We see that she thinks highly of her father because she refers to him as her "excellent father" and tells Odysseus about everything he .....

Huck is disgusted by this and says that he "didn't think much of it." and goes on to say that he wants to go to the "bad place" because the widow said that Tom Sawyer didn't have much of a chance of going to the "good place". Not only is this Twain's way of saying that religion, taken at face value, is bunk, but is also his observation of how society shapes the minds of those who choose to harmonize with it.
At another point during the book, Huck assumes t .....

Hunchback Of Notre Dame, Theme
.... the Notre Dame Cathedral. He takes a great interest in God, and apparently shares this interest with the Archdeacon. Quasimodo was taken in by Claude Frollo when he was quite young. The two men grew quite close together:

A villain kills my father, and for that
I, his sole son, do this same villain send
