... ignorant. They
wrongly treat the monster on the assumption that he actually is a monster.
They scorn, attack, and shun the monster just because of his outward
appearance. This is not justified by anything except his demeanor. They
are also afraid of it because they are afraid of things about which they
no nothing. Society also unjustly kills Justine because she is the only
person that could have possibly have done such an evil act. They again
wrongly label Justine as the killer. They do not look into the facts but
instead find a quick and easy answer to the problem. This again shows the
ignorance of so ...

... the entrance of Adrian to the psychologist’s room, he obviously does not expect much of a physical appearance. However, after he enters the room, ironically, Lenora turns out to be a smashing woman. Another use of irony is present in Adrian’s description of his mother in the new year’s eve:
“As she slopped wine into a plastic glass for me, I could have a chance to take a close look at her. Her lips were surrounded red, her hair was blonde and glossy. Her cleavage wrinkled and her belly protruded from the little black dress (very little) she wore. The poor woman was forty-seven, ...

... is a mistake from the beginning. Jude’s aunt did not like the idea of Jude’s marrying Arabella to begin with.
Fawley’s aunt being a baker she made him a bride-cake saying bitterly that it was the last thing she could do for him, poor silly fellow; and that it would have been far better if, instead of living to trouble her, he had gone underground years before with his father and mother.
Arabella did not want to tell Jude that she was not pregnant but she did eventually. "He was inclined to inquire what he had done, or she lost, for that matter, that he deserved to be caught in a gin which would cri ...

Number of Words: 1489 / Number of Pages: 6
... a group that still has religious beliefs and marriage, things no
longer part of the changed society, to compare and contrast today's
culture with his proposed futuristic culture.
But one theme that both Brave New World and Fahrenheit 451 use in
common is the theme of individual discovery by refusing to accept a
passive approach to life, and refusing to conform. In addition, the
refusal of various methods of escape from reality is shown to be a path to
discovery. In Brave New World, the main characters of Bernard Marx and the
"Savage" boy John both come to realize the faults with their own ...

Lord Of The Flies: We Hate Piggy
Number of Words: 783 / Number of Pages: 3
... smarter than most of the survivors. You could see this because
he was aware of the situation around him whereas Ralph enjoyed the freedom. It
was Piggy's idea to write down all of the survivors' names and he knew where to
put the hole in the conch and what it could be used for. Piggy is also clever
in which when he is asked to do something physical, whether it would be
exercise or hard labour, he says he cannot do it because of his asthma, but
most people could see that he is lying. An example of this is when he was
afraid to swim.
“Piggy tip-toed down the sandy side of the pool, and
sat there up ...

The Ironies Of 1984
Number of Words: 422 / Number of Pages: 2
... Big Brother. The Big Brother in this novel completely watches
over every move a person makes keeping them controlled with fear.
The next type of irony is Situation irony, which is when a character or a
sequence of events appears to be headed one way, but it ends up as the opposite
of what was thought. One example of this is Winston's general health. From the
beginning of the book, it is shown how horrible his health is and is continually
getting worse and more difficult, but as Winston gets involved with Julia then
he begins a metamorphosis into a more healthy person. Another major example is
the b ...

Canterbury Tales: The Knight

... very successful
and busy career, he remains an extremely humble man: indeed, Chaucer maintains
that he is meek "as a maiden". Moreover, Chaucer claims the Knight has never
said a rude remark to anyone in his entire life. Clearly, the Knight possesses
an outstanding character, and Chaucer gives to the Knight perhaps one of the
most flattering descriptions in the General Prologue than any other character.
His Knight can do no wrong: he is an outstanding warrior who has fought for the
'true faith' (according to Chaucer) on three continents. In the midst of all
this, however, Chaucer's Knight remains mod ...

Number of Words: 1324 / Number of Pages: 5
... vii, Lines 35-45, Page 36)
In this quote we can see that Lady Macbeth's ambitions are as evil as Macbeth's ambitions. Lady Macbeth is asking Macbeth if he is afraid to kill Duncan, and if he has enough courage to say so. She is asking him if he wants to be king or not, and if he is to be king he must kill king Duncan tonight. By reciting her speech, she is questioning Macbeth's manliness, and his ambitions. As a result of this Macbeth ends up killing Duncan that same night. The witches prophecies came true, Macbeth was crowned King, but not morally. The dramatic significance can be ill ...
