Comparing 'Casablanca' To '1984'
.... the other hand, is a deep psychological thriller. In the world of utter thought-control, we find that even a strong hero such as Winston, is struck down by the party, for simply being alive, and that the virtuosity within humanity will eventually be overcome by our greed and lust. Their struggles are that of man against the oppressor. Both 1984 and Casablanca deal with a world gone mad, and the struggles of not-so-ordinary people. Oftentimes, parallels can be made between characters in the two. Renault can be compared with O'Brien, because both are 'double agents' in their own ways, and one never knows for which sid .....

Paradise Lost
.... epic tradition all the more striking by contrast. The most important departures from epic decorum--the rejection of a martial theme, and the choice of an argument that emphasizes the hero's transgression and defeat instead of celebrating his virtues and triumphs--are paradoxically conditioned by concern for the ethical and religious decorum of the epic genre. On the whole, Milton has retained the formal motifs and devices of the heroic poem but has invested them with Christian matter and meaning. In this sense his epic is . . . something of a "pseudomorph"--retaining the form of classical epic but replacing its values and content .....

Animal Farm: Struggle For Power
.... name back to Manor Farm. The time setting for this story is some point during the 1940’s.
During the story, many characters are introduced. There are Jessie, the brown dog, who is friends with Boxer, a diligently working horse, and Snowball, a small pig exiled from the farm by Napoleon, the black pig, in the quest for power. There are also the other dogs on the farm, who had side things going on with Napoleon, and eventually took away Jesse’s litter from her, so that they may become “guards” to Napoleon and his “empire”. What each thought and did developed the characters. For example, the horse Boxer’s character was develo .....

Grendel: Queen Wealthheow
.... to split her in half. He wanted to kill her but he was torn by his feeling for her, all the pain he wanted to inflict was sexual. He wanted to "cook the ugly hole between her legs, and squeeze out her feces with his fists". His motive for killing her was justified by wanting to teach the Danes reality, but he refrained because it would be "pointless pleasure". Grendel was clearly unhappy about his desire for Wealtheow, and was disconcerted. He contemplated killing her because he wanted to get rid of these feelings, instead he decided to focus on the undesirable side Wealhtheow, "her unqueenly shrieks" and "the ugliness between her .....

The Crucible: Deteriorated Rational And Emotional Stability Of Salem
.... easily indicted of being a messenger for the devil by the testimony of his disillusioned servant Mary Warren, who in the past committed perjury. The court who heard the testimony easily accepts it because she is a church going person, while John Proctor slightly deviates from the norm. This transfer of blame is also noticeable when the truth is first discovered about what the girls were doing in the woods. The girls were not blamed. The blame was put on Tituba, the “black” slave who was said to have “charmed” the girls. Abigail swears that “she [Tituba] made me do it”.(pg.40)
It is obvious that in the Puritan society that what .....

Themes Of Animal Imagery In... A Doll House
.... She never left the house, mostly because her husband was afraid of the way people "would talk." I do not know if but a few people knew about their marriage, and that was they way Torvald wanted it to be. It really wasn't her fault she was the way she was. It was mostly Torvald's for spoiling her.
Ibsen uses creative, but effective, animal imagery to develop Nora's character throughout the play. He has Torvald call his wife "his little lark" or "sulky squirrel" or other animal names throughout the play. He uses a lot of 'bird' imagery-calling her many different bird names. It seems to me that the name he uses directly relates to .....

The Great Gatsby
.... gone away early that afternoon, and
taken baggage with them.
Therefore, Nike Carroway's analysis was right by these clear observation.
However, Nike Carroway is a good narrator, he sees everything happen and does not trust everybody easily. So during the people discuss about something at a time, he does not believe it is true. After he proves it, he will accept the truth.

Somebody told me they thought he killed a man once.

Shielded Consequences
.... grievances…The motif of resentment is clear here. Thomas Putnam felt that his own name and the honor of his family had been smirched by the village, and he meant to right matters however he could”(14). Putnam’s background is a backdrop for all of his actions. By presenting that problems seem to find their way to him, Putnam is readily recognizable as one who would look to take advantage of the ensuing mayhem that engulfs Salem. So, Putnam accuses people of using his land and stealing his oak: “I’ll have my men on you, Corey! I’ll clap a writ on you!”(32). Putnam is a greedy man who thinks only of himself. He finally see .....
