The Changing Role In Viola/Ces
Number of Words: 1032 / Number of Pages: 4
... that he shows to the public, or would reveal and share with Viola in her true female self, but rather his secret self, as he believes he shares with a peer. So, she grows to love him. But, Orsino's motivation is actually not love for Viola, but rather he seems to be in love with love itself. His entire world is filled with love but he knows that there might be a turning point for him, like when he says:
If music be the food of love, play on; give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, the appetite may sicken, and so die. 1. (I,I,I-III)
This quote shows that he knows that he is so caught up in "love", t ...

Romeo And Juliet 10
Number of Words: 424 / Number of Pages: 2
... Romeo and Juliet pointed out a form of dramatic irony. This is shown by Juliet’s “ double-edged ”phrases when Lady Capulet is denouncing Romeo. For example,
“Ay madam, from the reach of
these my hands:
would none but I might verge
my cousin’s death.” (Act III, Scene V, line 86)
or when Juliet states in an awkward way,
“indeed I never shall be satisfied with Romeo till I behold him -dead- ”
(Act III, Scene V, line 95)
O there dramatic ironies included when Romeo falls in love with Juliet, Mercutio imagines he is still in love wit ...

... taken cover behind a big plant located on the right hand of the door. If one of the guards came into the room, he could get lucky and he would not find him.
A small window was not far from where Gregory was hiding. From here he had a good view over the parking lot and the barracks. Just below the window there was a big officer shouting: "Someone will get shot for this! 'Der Fuhrer' will not be pleased."
The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer each second. A drop of perspiration found it's way down the left of Gregory's cheeks. Nervously he tightened the grip around the documents he was ...

Number of Words: 643 / Number of Pages: 3
... then the first night began. I remember crawling into my
mother=s bed thinking about the party I would have this weekend and the
many weekends after. Then I heard it: something stirring in the house. I
jumped up and rushed to the windows as I looked out my eyes were enveloped
in blackness, and my ears were drowning in silence. That=s when I heard it;
thump, thump, thump and I heard it again but faster. Fear was sucking the
very life breath out of me. I grabbed the gun and ran frantically from room
to room while this sound pursued me getting louder and faster. That sound
didn=t go away that night nor for ...

Paralytic - Sylvia Plath
Number of Words: 1654 / Number of Pages: 7
... full of pearls,
Two girls
As flat as she, who whisper "We're your daughters."
The still waters
Wrap my lips,
Eyes, nose and ears,
A clear
Cellophane I cannot crack.
On my bare back
I smile, a Buddha, all
Wants, desire
Falling from me like rings
Hugging their lights.
The claw
Of the magnolia,
Drunk on its own scents,
Asks nothing of life.
This work is easiest to understand when i ...

Pride And Prejudice
Number of Words: 1321 / Number of Pages: 5
... he gives the reader an insight into English society and particularly the roles of women. Elizabeth Bennet's character is put to a test by Mr Collins' proposal in Chapter 19, and it passes with flying colours. With great many advantages to be had by marrying Mr Collins, such as security for her sisters and mother after their fathers' death, she still chooses to reject him rather then humble herself before him.
Mr Collins's manner in which he proposes to Elizabeth is very matter-of-fact; the proposal itself is more of a business proposition than a marriage proposal in the way that it lacks any emotio ...

... with no feeling of remorse, Thou wretched, rash, intruding fool, farewell! / I took thee for thy better. Take thy fortune;/ Thou find'st to be too busy is some danger.- [Act III. scene IV, lines 31-33] and then talks about lugging his guts into another room.

Jane Eyre Self-awarness
Number of Words: 2053 / Number of Pages: 8
... recurring theme of self-awareness I saw in Jane Eyre started from the first time Jane saw herself in the mirror which consequentially gave her a fresh awareness of her own identity. When John "throws the book" at Jane Charlotte Bronte's attempt was to both literally and metaphorically symbolize the deprivation he was instigating of any sense of herself and her rights.
According to Jacques Lacan, the first identity of oneself in a mirror is the most decisive stage in human development. It provides the "awareness of oneself as an object of knowledge".
I had to cross before the looking glass; my fasc ...

Jane Eyre - Nature

... was . . . not buoyant." In fact, it is this buoyancy of Jane's relationship with Rochester that keeps Jane afloat at her time of crisis in the heath: "Why do I struggle to retain a valueless life? Because I know, or believe, Mr. Rochester is living."
Another recurrent image is Brontė's treatment of Birds. We first witness Jane's fascination when she reads Bewick's History of British Birds as a child. She reads of "death-white realms" and "'the solitary rocks and promontories'" of sea-fowl. We quickly see how Jane identifies with the bird. For her it is a form of escape, the idea of flying above th ...

... the night. This act again can be blamed on society for Valjean, realizing that because of his criminal record he would probably never again be able to obtain a job and support himself, saw stealing the silverware as his only choice.
Had he not been caught and returned to the Bishop, Valjean probably would have been forced into a life of corruption. However, to his surprise, the priest told the police he had made a present of the silver to Valjean. He even gave Valjean the two silver candlesticks he had not taken. When the police left, the Bishop explained his action, saying that with his act of kindn ...
