... from Torvald such as, \"Is that my little lark twittering out there?\" (1). \"Is it my little squirrel bustling about?\" (2). A lark is a happy, carefree bird, and if you are to squirrel away something, you are hiding or storing it, kind of like what Nora is doing with her bag of macaroons. It seems childish that Nora must hide things such as macaroons from her husband, but if she didn\'t and he found out, she would be deceiving him and going against his wishes which would be socially wrong.
As the play goes on, Nora seems to transform from her delicate little character into something mu ...

A Clockwork Orange

... as the ability to perform both good and evil is presented by implication in his discussion of the first kind of clockwork orange. In his introduction, he states that if one "can only perform good or only perform evil, then he is - meaning that he has the appearance of an organism lovely with color and juice but is in fact only a clockwork toy to be wound up by God or the Devil or (since this is increasingly replacing both) the Almighty State." Burgess goes on to say, "It is as inhuman to be totally good as it is to be totally evil. The important thing is moral choice. Evil has to exist along with good ...

... is funny how it all ends up to work out though, because her parents saw how well the were together, and approved their love for each other.

If I smoked the drug, I would've been doing something wrong and against my parents' word. If I didn't do it, I would have came off as a clown in front of my friends that were with me. I attempted to weasle out of the situation and go somewhere, but peer pressure had never ...

... images would have shocked Shakespearean audiences and thus would have thought the witches as overwhelmingly evil.

Shakespearean audiences would have recognised this as Jesus knocking on the gates of hell. There ...

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
