Nineteen Eighty Four - Fiction
.... An example of this is when Winston and Julia were caught having a sexual relationship and were taken away by the Thought Police. They were then made to betray eachother, love the Party, and to believe what ever the party said was true. The Party had control over everything even peoples minds. This was proved when O ‘ Brien held up four fingers and said to Winston “how many fingers am I holding up?” Winston replied “Five”.
Big Brother also played a big role in creating the world which ‘Nineteen Eighty-Fo .....

Narrative Of The Captivity Of
.... true feelings of depression because of the sufferings she was enduring. As Rowlandson’s travels goes on you could see that she has learned to accept the Indian’s culture. In the eight remove she says “I boiled my peas and bear together, and invited my master and mistress to dinner,”(309). That statement by Rowlandson does not seem like she’s in “captivity” and that she’s actually suffering. She also made clothes for the Indians, which they very much appreciated. Rowlandson realizes as she thinks to he .....

Charlie Wales asked the bartender “ By the way, what’s become of Claude Fessenden?”
Alix lowered his voice confidentially: “He’s in Paris, but he doesn’t come here any more. Paul doesn’t allow it. He ran up a bill of thirty thousand francs, charging all his drinks, his lunches, and usually his dinner, for more than a year. And when Paul finally told him he had to pay, he gave him a bad check.”(87)

At this point Wiesel lost all faith in the existence of God. "Where is God now? Where is He? Here is - He is hanging here on this gallows..."(62) After this incident Wiesel could no longer believe in God. He felt that no one could believe in God when one saw innocent children die such terrible deaths.
Night tells the story of people w .....

Narrative Voices In Huck Finn
.... He even appraises
the chairs, noting they are "nice split-bottom chairs, and perfectly
sound, too--not bagged down in the middle and busted, like an old
basket"(111). It is apparent Huck is more familar with busted chairs
than sound ones, and he appreciates the distinction.
Huck is also more familar with flawed families than loving,
virtuous ones, and he is happy to sing the praises of the people who
took him in. Col. Grangerford "was a gentleman all over .....

One Hundred Years Of Solitude
.... Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude forever seem to be repeating
the lives of their male ancestors. These cycles reveal that man as a
being, just like the mythological heros, has no true choice in the
ultimate course his life will take. The male characters' personal
development is overshadowed by the identity of their ancestors.
Clotho, it appears, has recycled some of her spinning thread. The new
male generations, superficially, are perceived to be woven of like

Of Mice And Men
.... and compassion of an extraordinarily immoral and cruel man.
Whatever Steinbeck’s intent for writing such a jarring ending, he leaves the reader with a
powerful sense of the world’s immorality.
In this book there were several characters, but only a few had significant roles. I
would have to say Lennie is the protagonist of the book even though George is an
extremely critical character as well. Lennie Small is described as being a monstrous man
with the mind o .....

Oedipus' quest for truth was his choice. When the Teiresias tried not to reveal the truth, The Oedipus was the one, who made the priest to talk: "This city gave you life and yet you refuse to answer! You speak as if you were her enemy. … For God's sake, if you know, don't turn away from us! We are pleading. We are begging yo .....

Of Mice And Men
.... candy you see children eating it while running around in the yard having a good time without a care in the world. This is the exact opposite of what the character in the novel is. The restless demon of age has caught up with him and he is not able to move as fast as he once did; even his dog is unable to ward off the negative effects of time.
Candy loves his dog with all of his heart; it has been his best friend for years and according to Candy he has “Had him since he was a pup. I herded sheep with .....

Oedipus The King
.... to overthrow him. Despite Oedipus’ anger in this situation, his reaction can be justified. First of all, Teiresias’ allegation that Oedipus is the killer is absurd to him since he would
never murder a king. Also, it seems logical that Creon would be behind such a scheme since he would be next in line to the throne. Therefore, Oedipus’ bad temper cannot be considered his hamartia.
Another characteristic of Oedipus that some people tend to refer to as his hamartia is his murderous temperamen .....

For example, Oedipus the King killed his own father, Lauis, is major dramatic irony in this poetry. However, Chinua Achebe, "has been able to avoid imitating the trends in English literature." (Culross Online). He "rejecting the European notion that art should be accountable to no one, and [needs] to justify itself to nobody, as he puts it in his book of essays, Morning Yet on Creation Day" (Cu .....

Oliver Twist
.... For Oliver, Rose, and Mr. Brownlow are attractive characters. Secondly, a character may be revealed by his manner of speech. Mr. Grimwig's "…I'll eat my head…"(91) reveals his stubbornness, and Mr. Bumble's perpetually speaking of his "parochial duties" reveals his inflated sense of his own importance. In addition to these, Dickens employs the more usual means of creating characters. Often speaking in his own person as a narrator, he tells what characters are like, or he tells of the actions that .....

Oedipus The King Sophocles

King Oedipus can also be classified as a tragic hero because he is not perfect but most certainly has tragic flaws, one of them being excessive hubris and
self- righteousness and he refuses to believe anyone who doesn’t agree with himself. This is evident i .....
