Hemingway's Portrayal Of Nick's Consolation
Number of Words: 1316 / Number of Pages: 5
... and the Doctor's Wife," Mrs. Adams only attempts to second guess
Dr. Adams.
Instead of backing her husband up or sympathizing with him, Mrs.
Adams scolds her husband and expresses the suspicion that it was Dr. Adams
who caused all the trouble. Her tone effectively reduces the doctors
status to that of a little boy. Her further refusal to believe her husband
after patronizingly urging him not to "try to keep anything from me"
belittles him into a posture not only of a naughty little boy, but a sulky
and not even a very trustworthy one (8).
Hemingway shows Mrs. Adams almost as ...

Mr. Ramsay wants to appease his wife and make her happy as a result of the torment that he inflicted on her. Next, Woolf again illustrates Mr. Ramsay's insensitive dimension when Mr. Ramsay makes Mrs. Ramsay "bend her head as if to let the pelt of jagged hail, the drench of dirty water, bespatter her unrebuked." (32) Mr. Ramsay is heartless to his wife's feelings; it is as if he enjoys "drenching" Mrs. Ramsay and enjoys seeing her in mental anguish. However, Woolf ...

With these natural causes of quarrel, Hobbes concludes that the natural condition of humans is a st ...

Number of Words: 402 / Number of Pages: 2
... he and other Americans
felt about war. He is not saying that war is good. He is saying this in a
sarcastic way. For example, he talks about how peoples loved ones are
dying. And then later he says "Do not weep. War is Kind." In this poem
he really shows us that Americans were really tired of war.
In the "Letter to His Son" Robert E. Lee also depicts his attitude,
as well as other Americans, towards war very well. Many Americans hated
war, but still some were very patriotic. Robert E. Lee was definitely one
of them. In this letter he talks about how he hates war but he will fight
for his count ...

Carraway. After his involvement in the war on the allied side with a
machine gun battalion, he returned to his home in Chicago. With no clear

... chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me, without my stir. (I,iii,141-143) hides Macbeth's true intentions towards the king and he feelings on what the witches said.
The play is also filled with many references to the night or darkness which would have been used to further explain to Shakespeare's audiences the mood of deception and that cold tone, considering the fact that the audiences would have been watching this play in the middle of the afternoon. The darkness is set to "hide" the actions of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth "Come, thick night, and pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell," (I, ...

The Hobbit

... dwarves & eagles) vs. evil (wargs
& goblins)) and this reduces its effectiveness. After the
climax there is the long return home. It is quite boring since
there is nothing to expect to and the reader knows that the
hobbit would get home safely. In my opinion it should have

characters is done by their dialogues and monologues,
actions and things noted by the narrator (the author in this
case) himself. An example for dialogue: “All the same, I
should like it all plain and clear, also I should like to know
about risks, out-of-pocket expenses...” (b ...
