- 7551: Character Study Of Blance Dubo
- By: Anonymous Tennessee Williams was once quoted as saying that "symbols are nothing but the natural speech of drama...the purest language of plays" (Adler 30). This is clearly evident in Williams’s A Streetcar Named Desire. As with any of his major characters, any analysis of Blanche DuBois much consist of a dissection of the play’s dialogue, supplemented by an understanding of the “language” of symbols in which Williams often speaks. Before one can understand Blanche's character one must understand the reason why she moves to New Orleans and joins her sister, Stella, and brother-in-law, Stanley. By analyzing the symbolism in the first scene, one can understand what ...

The war that was imposed on Doc Daneeka ravaged his life and terminated all of his chances to become a normal, practicing doctor. Before the war arrives on Doc Daneeka's doorstep, it appears to have benefited him. Doc Daneeka was making a nice sum of money from various illegal means. He received kickbacks from drug stores in the area that ran an illegal operation. He also utilized beauty parlors to perform two or three abortions a week to bring in more revenue. When the war begins, Doc Daneeka's practice starts to pick up because of the lack of other doctors. Originally, he thought of the war as a "godsend"; however what he did not realize was that, the war would catch up ...

Examples of this are: - The coincidence of the Monkey’s Paw being in the possession of Morris. - The fact it is given movement and a sort of life (personification) as wishes are made suggest a possible disaster. For instance the piano crashes, you hear ...

- ... tragedies can be very didactic. Maybe, by studying typical causes of tragedy, a person can prevent it from happening in his or her personal life.

- 7560: Animal Farm: The Corruption in Humans and The Character Napoleon
- ... humans. Throughout history there have been many situations in which persons in authority have used their power over people to gain their own advantages and glory. Such figures including Stalin, and Hitler. In George Orwell's novella Animal Farm, he presents an allegory in his work of the results of corruption to draw parallels between the animal and human society. People don't always see things for what they are and it really helps when things are presented to them from a different perspective. Orwell uses this technique to show his readers and society in general mans humanity to man. Napoleon, the main character, proved the possibility of corruption by his relentless efforts to take advantage of the uneducated majority. Napoleon's personal characteristics not only corrupted others but himself as well. His devious personality, manipulative nature, and personal drive all lead to the disintegration of society in Animal Farm. From the start Napoleon was thought ...
