... was not part of the war but seemed to know a lot about it. In his story “My Oedipus Complex,” he talks about a boy who’s father has been away at war and then returns home. This gave us an idea of what life would be like at home while a war occurred. O’Connor definitely gave a different look at war.
Continuing with the authors of war, here’s one with a powerful message. His name was T.S. Eliot, and perhaps his most emotional poem was “The Hollow Men.” I don’t believe this poem had much to do with the war but it could have more to do with the effe ...

... honor, which is different from initially failing). In the last lines of the story the author clearly acknowledges Beowulf’s overall triumph, “Telling stories of their dead king and his greatness, his glory, praising him for heroic deeds, for a life as noble as his name.”
Sir Gawain on the other hand is deemed a hero but seems to lack something that Beowulf simply does not. This is because he is a passive hero. Sir Gawain appears to be incapable and thoughtless at first, but he slowly proves himself by his subtle actions. Sir Gawain represents loyalty along with an unclear purpose ...

... daily routine, the sets are bright with adequate lighting. On the other hand, when Mr. Hyde comes into the picture the scenes drastically become dark and frightening. I think this split is in conjunction with the two personalities that Dr. Jekyll displays.

Another scene that pops into my head is when Dr. ...

... and Sula's death. Nel's realization that they were only truly individuals when they were joined as one allows them to merge once again.
Morrison portrays Sula and Nel as binary opposites at the beginning of the novel. In our first view of Nel she is as conventional and conforming as a young lady can be: Under Helene's hand the girl became obedient and polite.
