The Odyssey The Role Of Prophe
.... Penelope says if Odysseus had returned he would, with his son, surely slay the suitors, Telemakhos let loose a great sneeze (429). This omen reinforces the previous one, and simultaneously prepares the reader for the carnage to follow. However, not all omens are effective.

Whether it was his immaturity to interpret the bird omens or blind arrogance Telemakhos does not act on them. In fact, it’s not .....

With no pretense, the sun is immediately deified in the Mariner's tale. Each time it is referred to, it is capitalized and personified. "The Sun came up upon the left,/Out of the sea came he!" [ln 25] Even more blatantly, "Nor dim nor red, like G .....

Tragedy Of Macbeth From Macbet
.... underneath the skin he is really evil. Macbeth talks of the king "Alarum'd by his sentinel, the wolf, whose howl's his watch" (II,ii,60-61) like he is ever alert to what's going on around him, showing a little remorse, or some second thoughts about actually killing the king. Using the animal images is another way that Shakespeare develops characters and themes.
One other image pattern that was used but not with a great extent, was that of sleep. Used in the play in order to almost create a "guilty" .....

The Crucible 3
.... inherited the same need to know good and evil, and place a clear-cut reason for every occurrence. Part of this need is human nature. Everyone has their own story for the different occurrences in their life, and in the world. Ironically, even The Crucible is simply a rehash of these historical events, and virtually all dialogue and events were made up or simply based on limited knowledge of the events that occurred during that time period. Each time something new is learned the story changes, and the peop .....

Just as Elizabethan plays have five acts, Wuthering Heights is composed of two “acts,” the times before and after Catherine’s death. However, unlike stereotypical novels, Wuthering Heights has no true heroes or villains. “Although this work was written in the Romantic Period, it is not a romance. There are n .....

(Wuthering Heights Pg. 81) Hareton probably doesn't remember her, but that shows the lack of appreciation everyone had for her. No one praised her like
