Themes Of Animal Imagery In... A Doll House
... letter from Krogstad with the note in it, saying that the note did not have to be paid back. Even so, Nora decides to leave Torvald, saying that he "never understood [her]" and that he "never loved [her]." That, in my opinion was the truth.
Nora Helmer was a delicate character. She had been pampered all of her life, by her father, and by Torvald. She really didn't have a care in the world. She didn't even have to care for the children; the maid would usually take care of that. In every sense of the word, she was your typical housewife. She never left the house, mostly because her husband was afraid of the way peopl ...

Understanding Holden Caulfield
... apparent virtue helps to mask his true character. It’s not difficult to understand why readers have always ignored Holden’s grave deficiencies as a person (Branch 42). After all, "he is very appealing, on the surface" (Costello 95). He "genuinely appreciates brief and isolated instances of kindness" (Lee 263) and "accurately pinpoints phoniness in low and high places” (Edwards 556).

remain alive. As a result of his concern, Huck makes it appear as if he is
killed in the cabin while Pap is away, and leaves to go to a remote island
in the ...

... him to give it up,
because it was impossible. Unforturately, Mr.Gatsby was not believe it. So at
the end, Mr.Gatsby's dream still had not came true because Daisy did not break
up with Tom and go with him. It can be seen in the last chapter on the novel,

... married was because of true love. The reason why
she has gone through so many husbands is because her ideal husband is one who
permits her to do whatever she wants. Of course, in the 1990's and even back in
