When Jimmy was not doing well at Dublin University, his father let him go
off to Cambridge where he could "see life a little". While there he seemed
to run the bills a little high, and his father took care of all the
expenses because he wanted to show off the money that he had acquired. The

The Scarlet Letter And A Tale Of Two Cities: A Comparison

Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale seemed to be an upstanding, young priest. The whole
town liked him and respected him as a holy man. Thus, his deception was much
more direct and extreme when he did not confess that he impregnated Hester
Prynne. Unlike Hester, he was not publicly punished. So although Hester

his physical health began to reflect his inner sufferings. In the end, he
redeemed himself by his confession in front of the whole town, but his long

Tyrant Man shall be o'erthrown,
And the fruitful fields of England,
Shall be trod by beasts alone.
Rings shall vanish from our noses,
And the harness from our back,
Bit and spur shall rust forever,

Another way in which Tolstoy gives the minor character a sense of
life is by making them unpredictable. One sees this in the character of
Ryabinin. When initially discussed, the reader is told that upon
conclusion of business, Ryabinin will always say "positively and finally"
(p161). However upon conclusion of the sale of the land, Ryabinin does not
use his usual tag.
This tag would normally be charact .....

Throughout the novel, Scout, Jem, and Dill are curious about the
