Daniel states this thought when he says "Chastity and Beauty, which were deadly foes." Here Daniel says that his mistress is pure, innocent, and beautiful. He is asking the reader to find a woman that perfect. There also seems to be reference to the divine in this line. Daniel is possibly comparing his mistress to the Virgin Mary. This would be the ultimate example of divinity. He is speaking of someone that is worthy ...

... killed. The carrying of the thumb shows that he had power over the boy; this gives him some relief to know he had that kind of control.

With his responsibility, Jimmy Cross alters his behavior to keep all of his men safe, and he only does this because of his power. An example of Jimmy Cross changing his behavior because of power was after Lavender was killed, when he led the troop into the town of Than Khe to destroy everything they could. Jimmy had be ...

... characters in the novel: not just daughters and sons, but parents, aunts, uncles and everybody else who has some interest in the subject. Though it is of course most in the interest of the daughter herself to get married, the interests of the own family can be important for the choice of husband and wife. It is not appropriate for the daughter to choose whoever she likes for her husband, which she- if she wants a happy marriage- is not very likely to do. I will discuss the reasons for the careful choice of a proper husband below.
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possessi ...

... tasks such as dressing herself or walking down the stairs. It irks her to need help, which is one of the reasons she can't stand Doris. She is also angry at the lack of emotional control as she perceives how "laden with self-pity" (pg. 31) her voice sounds when arguing with Marvin in one instance. She cannot control how her "mouth speaks by itself, the words flowing from somewhere, some half-hidden hurt" (pg. 68).
After the denial and anger begin to fade, she attempts a short bargaining period where she wonders what if. She even tells God to bless her or not "just as You please" (pg. 307), but she ...

... it out". The narrator with absolutely nothing else to do is reduced to staring endlessly at a pattern in wallpaper, thus creating some image that she feels is necessary to find out. Perhaps to save her own sanity?
Once the narrator determines that the image is in fact a woman struggling to become free, she somehow aligns herself with the woman. In the story she mentions that she often sees the woman creeping outside. "I see her in that long shaded lane, creeping up and down. I see her in those dark grape arbors, creeping all around the garden.... I don't blame her a bit. It must be very humiliating to ...

... her fault, her fault, we chant in unison.¡±(94), and the women repeats the answer out loud as a whole as if they were young kindergartners, and by doing so, they are being influenced and brainwashed. By treating them like children and making them repeat after what they say, they slowly influence the women, leading the women to think the way the society wants them to think.
Another example of the society trying to influence the women could be found when the Offred describes the part where the household assembles for the ceremony at the sitting room. The house hold waits for the commander to arrive, and ...

Fork Of A Road

... does it differently; the narrator has come to a fork in the road, but without hesitation he takes the more traveled by. This is the first contrast between the two literatures. "And both that morning equally lay in leaves no step had trodden black." the leaves had covered the ground and since the time they had fallen no one had yet to pass by on this road.

The persona took the r ...

... deal before the story and plot
really develop very much. In the “Devil and Tom Walker” the story goes into
a lot of details about how his house is raggedy, ugly, and trashy looking.
No man traveling ever stops at their house. His wife hides things, is mean,
and a loud-mouth. The story describes how Tom walked through the murky
swamp and how he met “Old Scratch” unlike “The Devil and Daniel Webster”
when all the story talks about is how his plow broke, how angry he was, and
by being angry called the Devil. “The Devil and Tom Walker” has a much
stronger development and really tries to place the reader in ...
