Grendel: Queen Wealthheow
... saw Wealhtheow, he was struck by her innocence and beauty. He wanted to sob at the sight of her; the reader had never been introduced to this sensitive side of the monster. The reader wasn't the only one who had a problem understanding Grendels feelings, Grendel couldn't understand them either. He was "tortured by the red of her hair and the set of her chin and the white of her shoulders". There is definitely a sexual overtone in Grendels desire for Wealththeow. Upon his attack of her he ripped her out of bed by her feet as if he was going to split her in half. He wanted to kill her but he was torn by his feeling for ...

The Sun Also Rises
... period of months, as Brett either accepts or rejects certain values or traits of each man. Brett, as a dynamic and self-controlled woman, and her four love interests help demonstrate Hemingway's standard definition of a man and/or masculinity. Each man Brett has a relationship with in the novel possesses distinct qualities that enable Hemingway to explore what it is to truly be a man. The
Hemingway man thus presented is a man of action, of self-discipline and self-reliance, and of strength and courage to confront all weaknesses, fears, failures, and even death.
Jake Barnes, as the narrator and supposed hero of the ...

The Cast Of Amontillado
... The main character, Montresor, who is vengeful, intelligent, and fakes sincerity, causes the death of Fortunato. “The Cask of Amontillado” starts out with Montresor, the narrator, saying, “The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could; but when he ventured upon insult, I vowed revenge.” Simply by reading the first sentence of the story, it is easy to see that Montresor is vengeful and plans to get “revenge” on Fortunato. Montresor also has a coat of arms which is, “A huge human foot d’or, in a field azure; the foot crushes a serpent rampant whose fangs are imbedded in the heel,” ...

The Adventures Of Sherlock Hol
... as smart as Holmes, but has his own talents, and is much more down-to-earth. He is more practical than his friend, concerned with details of daily life more than with theories and ideas, though those things hold a distant interest for him. He has his own life, but he is loyal to Holmes because he finds Holmes' eccentricities and mind interesting, and because they have been friends for some time.
Being with Holmes gives him a chance to see the man's brain, which Watson openly admires, in action, as well. He also gets a chance to test his own mind against the problems they encounter. He seems to enjoy the d ...

Jose Donoso's Paso: Summary
... as pointed out by Alexander
Coleman in his essay “Some thoughts on Jose Donoso’s Traditionalism.” This
thought is exemplified by the story Paso, from the theme to the setting.
So since it is known that traditionalism is a favored style by Donoso it
will make following the plot that much easier.
The plot of Paso is slow at first introducing the characters and
situation, but quickens towards the end. As the end draws to a close the
reader is left with a mixture of feelings from pity to happiness. This is
the result of traditional tail, it is intertwined with common feelings and
situations to which all can id ...

Jurassic Park: The Novel Vs.The Film
... on board a supply
ship. It is because of this the raptors can travel 'home'. My personal
opinion of the various differences in the two versions of Jurassic Park is
that they have been well adjusted to suit their roles. Deeper analysis of
the novel proves this.
The first difference is how the novel starts. The opening scene is
that of a frightfully mutilated workman being brought into a medical clinic
by military officers. The author continually gives clues, such as obvious
lies by the officers about how the man's injuries occurred, that this is
not a typical attack. Soon after this incident another mysteriou ...

... the lower class, a trademark of Capitalism . I could not even
imagine living there, especially with that huge rat .The house must have been
very dirty and disgusting by today's standards . The author wanted to show how
some families live under these severe conditions. He made us see vividly how
they lived with this quote . "A huge black rat squealed and leaped at Bigger's
trouser-leg and snagged it in his teeth, hanging on." This showed how broke they
were by showing that there were giant rats living with them and how it had no
fear of them .
Richard Wright did not just not just want to show the con side ...

Lord Of The Flies: The Personification Of Evil
... in the fruit and leave half eaten cores on the ground. This wastefulness relates to our greedy consumption of natural resources, and how those who have them don’t use them efficiently. Another example of man wounding earth is the scar that the plane left when it crashed, “All round him the long scar smashed into the jungle was a bath of heat” (7). Golding calls it a “scar” to demonstrate that the island, or on a greater level, the earth, is a living thing. The personification shows how man has no regard for his surroundings and will, for example, cut down hundreds of acres of rain forest to make a neigh ...

Catcher In The Rye, Compares T
... Holden’s mind chooses to push out the incident, so it is foggy in his
head. But all he knew was, he tried to hit Stradlater but missed.
After the miss, Stradlater proceeded to climb on top of Holden and
take hold of his wrists, not letting him up. Stradlater dug his knees
deep into Holden’s chest to keep him from moving. This seemed to
go on for “around ten hours”. When Stradlater finally gave in and let
Holden get up, the struggle started again, ending with a bloody nose
for Holden. Afterwards, although Holden was somewhat offended by
the actions, he did not seem to care about his dri ...
