- 9323: Madame Bovary 5
- ... with her own lot in life. She never really loves, but rather consumes. She needs attention and has a pathological fear of being rejection. She designs the entire plot that culminates in her old flame's suicide because it is something to do--a game--and one that revolves around her. Her own suicide galvanizes this idea--she notes her husband's growing affections for his level headed assistant and realizes (probably always has) that her impulsiveness is peavish. She is also suspect--the game has been foiled for her and she is getting old (no longer a woman worth chasing by Victorian standards). And so she pulls the trigger.

- ... who defeated Goliath, actually was. David is shown by Michelangelo as a lithe nude youth, muscular and alert, looking off into the distance as if sizing up the enemy Goliath.

- ... populate its colonies and establish a self-sufficient economy, it would be ahead in the race to colonize the New World. Although the new riches and the Northwest Passage were still sought after, they weren't the final motivations for colonization any longer. Each country also had their individual set of objectives for exploring the Americas. Spain, along with its quest for riches became determined to convert the "heathens" to Catholicism ... the only country whose original intentions for exploring the New World translated into its final motivation for colonization. The Spanish rigorously tried to convert the Indians and continued their search for silver and gold.

- 9328: The Mayor Of Casterbridge 2
- Literature: The Mayor of Casterbridge Can it be said that Henchard s downfall is all due to some great error? Some may believe that it is a penance for selling Susan, but this would be to take Newson out of the equation, who, it must be said ... is in his nature. It is my belief that Henchard is a personification of nature. It is obvious that his life has completed a revolution but when you look closely, you can see that Henchard s life resembles the seasons. Our first image of Henchard is one of winter, his clothing is described as a short jacket of brown corduroy white horn buttons and a straw hat overlaid with black glazed canvas. Black, brown and white conjure images of the countryside in the heart of winter for me.
