The Role Of Women In Utopia An
.... role of women since it appears to be more concerned with humans in general, but still raises important points on gender), I will be examining if there's a background behind More's image of women and his considering of them as more fragile. I will also be attempting to figure out just what is their role in his literary Utopia (and if these ideas are in any ways revolutionary, considering their time).
Brabianto has a false image of Desdemona believing her to be the perfect daughter, not realising s .....

Racism, another important factor in the novel, which lead to the actual aspect of death. This was portrayed at the start of the novel when it talks about how Abraham’s two sons got hung in the Town Square for the same fact of being a .....

The Sanity Of Hamlet
.... shall nose him as you go up the stairs into the lobby."
Hamlet's behavior throughout the play, especially towards Ophelia is inconsistent. He jumps into Ophelia's grave, and fights with Laertes in her grave.

The Scarlet Letter
.... and hence she would
be the "good guy," or girl, as the case may be. Also the
townspeople, the magistrates, and Chillingworth, Hester's
true husband, can be seen in both lights. Either they can
be perceived as just upholding the law -she committed a
crime, they enforce the law. On the other hand are they
going to extreme measures such as wanting to take Pearl,
Hester's daughter, away just because Hester has deviated
from the norm, all to enforce an unjust law that do .....

The Scarlet Letter -x
.... in general. Similarly, The Scarlet Letter was a literal "soapbox" for Hawthorne to convey to the world that the majority of Puritans were strict and unfeeling. For example, before Hester emerges from the prison she is being scorned by a group of women who feel that she deserves a larger punishment than she actually receives. Instead of only being made to stand on the scaffold and wear the scarlet letter on her chest, they suggest that she have it branded on her forehead or even be put to death. Perhaps th .....

The Scarlet Letter 3
.... of Hester and Dimmesdale, President Clinton will be punished less severely. President Clinton should not be impeached for the controversy surrounding him. According to Elaine Kamarack, author of “The Comeback Kid Can Do It Again,” “The core issue is simply too trivial to warrant something so traumatic to the nation.” She believes that Clinton's crime is not evil enough to bring about an impeachment. She also writes, "The U.S. Congress… would not want to cast a v .....

The Scarrlet Letter
.... they would suffer if their sins were to be discovered, and to
Hester a reminder of sin. Hester stands alone outside the court house as the
close minded colonial eyes stare at her and the baby in her arms. Many
women during this era of American history would look for a way to run.
Hester shows little sign of uneasiness, with exception to her firm hold on the
infant. At the conclusion of this scene the reader knows that this is a strong
woman trying to maintain dignit .....

The Secret Sharer By Conrad
.... his grip" … For whose glances "mingle" and whose hands meet "gropingly" and linger "united in a steady and motionless clasp" except the glances and hands of lovers? (Casarino 235)
Casarino seems to use the language of the story to make his point. He makes assumptions that since Conrad uses certain words than he must have meant to give an underlying meaning, a "secret" meaning that I do not see. I am not familiar with Conrad's other works, but could this just be the writing style that Conrad use .....

The Significance Of The Title

This response, by way of symbolism, accorded to Holden his duties as the 'catcher in the rye.' His responsibility to shelter the innocent from falling into the 'adult' world. In which, even the price of a set of luggage is enough to separate school roommates, where ambitions are hollow, and the purpose of school is to gather up sufficient knowledge so that someday one can buy a .....

This shows not only harsh criticism, but also her prejudices against color. When Bassanio comes in however, Portia responds in an entirely new and opposite manner. She asks Bassanio to wait a while, telling him; "Before you hazard; for, in choosing wrong, I lose your company" (Shakespeare 44). Bassanio chooses the right casket and Portia .....

The Sniper Analysis

How the setting was expressed is also a vital part for the development of the story. The opening paragraph gives a vivid description of the situation as would physically been seen.

The stories in the book also tell of how white people effected the Eskimo's. White people had come and invaded their lands. The diseases that they brought with them wiped out thousands of Eskimo's.

Rudman then throws in some quicker wording to describe the landscape, which is broken up into short, incomplete ideas with commas. He introduces a multitude of ideas when he describes, "Hills leeched of color,// the desert a kind of form,// with rimrock an .....
