Miss Emilys Male Interaction I
.... male figure is one that helped her
earlier in her life. Colonel Sartoris was able to remit
Emily’s taxes under the impression that the town owed her
money. This act of kindness by the Colonel caused Emily’s
dependence upon him and what he did for her. Later in the
story, the Board of Alderman approached Miss Emily at her
house in the attempt to get her to pay her taxes. When the
Board started questioning Miss Emily about why she would not
pay she told them to talk to Colonel S .....

Mac Beth 2
.... like an innocent little flower, but under that fake mask he was an evil serpent.
I agree that Macbeth was unimaginative to a degree but then again he had an imagination because he saw the daggers before he killed King Duncan, and after he got Banquo killed he saw the image of Banquo in his seat. An example of this is stated here:
”Is this a dagger which I see before me,
The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch
Thee.
I have thee not, and yet I see thee still.
Art thou no .....

Macbeth 2
.... expect do not seem to be what they appear, so maybe Macbeth considers himself damned. He does not sense any more conscience pulling him back. He is afraid of Macduff, and although the other two prophecies give him a false security, he decides senselessly to kill Macduff's family, who have done nothing to him and are not a threat. Macbeth has completely turned himself to evil and accompanying madness here.

Macbeth 2
.... over all of Scotland if he would just do a few dishonest things to get what he wanted. ‘If chance will have me King, why, chance may crown me, without my stir.’ Macbeth was gullible enough to believe the witches and thus led to his very own deception and demise. He brought himself to an even greater status than he began with but only through a gigantic web of lies which could not be untangled. He then felt lost and alone with nobody left to turn to. ‘ Life’s but a walking shadow, .....

Macbeth 2 - Fixed
.... to take over, but partly because of his wife's persuasion. He agrees that they must "catch the nearest way" (17), and kill Duncan that night. On the other hand, as the time for murder comes nearer, he begins giving himself reasons not to murder Duncan:
First, as I am his kinsman and his subject,
Strong both against the deed; then, as his host,
Who should against his murderer shut the door,
Not bear the knife myself.
(I, vii, 13-16)

Next we see this theme again when Macbeth says "Me thought I heard a voice cry "Sleep no more, Macbeth does murder sleep," the innocent sleep"(II.ii.64-66). Here again we see Macbeth is starting to hear voices and he is starting to go a little crazy. Here is where things really start to head downhill, and they go down fast. Because of Macbeth’s ambition for king he has killed the current king. Now he thinks h .....

Macbeth 6
.... to kill Banquo, a fellow leader of Duncan's Scottish Army, is a second example that proves evils powers.
2"Bring them before us, to be thus is nothing
but to be safely thus our fears in Banquo stick
and in his royalty of nature reigns that which
would be fear'd tis much he dares"(Act 3, I, 47-52)
Macbeth decides to take Banquo's life because, he has a slight idea of the true nature and identity of Macbeth. Banquo knows that Macbeth was behind the murder of Duncan. What .....

Macbeth 7
.... No, the witches are fully responsible for the actions of Macbeth in him murdering the king. Although Lady Macbeth is strong and has much control over Macbeth, he considers killing the king because the witches tell him that he will one day take the throne. If Macbeth was never told that he would "be king hereafter (I,iii,53)" by the third witch, he would have never thought of assassinating the king. Lady Macbeth would not have convinced Macbeth to consider murder because she thought of this idea by rea .....

Macbeth 8
.... which confirmed the deal.
Immediately after Lady Macbeth reads the letter from her husband, the idea of their royalty sets in. She says, ³Glamis thou art, and Cawdor, and shalt be what thou art promised. Yet I do fear thy nature. It is too full o¹ th¹ milk of human kindness to catch the nearest way. (p. 36)² Lady Macbeth feels that he will become king, but is too full of kindness to become king the fast way, to kill Duncan. She then decides to talk him into doing the deed when she continues to ex .....

Macbeth 9
.... in act IV scene 1 saying,
"from this moment The very firstlings of my heart shall be the firstlings of my hand. And even now, to crown my thoughts with acts, be it thought and done;"
Macbeth was no longer the logical, thinking man whom many admired. He had become reckless, acting with only his passion and not his mind. The tragedy of the murders he brought on fair Scotland was a direct result of this violation of the criterion of a good man.
The most apparent flaw, and perhaps the most .....

Madame Bovary 2

She thought that our math teacher was a horrible teacher who couldn't teach and her attitude problems. It was quit astonishing how I could only concentrate on Ms. Smith's positive attributes while my best friend was only able to the negative things of our teacher. Now that I think back I realize that our grade eighth teacher had both the positive and negative attributes. The only reas .....

In the novel, there are several references to jars, bottles and tin cans. These items represent methods of containing or imprisoning life : "I put the worms in a can and some dirt for them." They also represent the narrator's own emotional life which has been put into jars preventing her from being able to feel. The narrator knows that she has feelings, but the trauma of having an abortion has caused her to become extremely dese .....

Mark Twain - Huckleberry Finn

In Huckleberry Finn, as they traveled down the Mississippi River, the values of Huck and Jim were contrasted against those of the people living in the southern United States. Huck (the narrator and one of the main characters) and Jim(another main character) were both trying to reach freedom. Twain based this book on thin .....
