... the "Christ" figure in the novel by having Simon belive in no evil and assuring Ralph that he would make it alive. Jack - "Inside the floating cloak he was thin and bony; and his hair was red beneath the black cap. His face was crumpled and freckled, and ugly without silliness.

... ask for some attention, odds are no one will even notice you. If you walk up in front of a class and scream "EVERYONE SHUT-UP!", you’ll probably notice a slight difference in how much attention you’ll get. Though, screaming may get you some attention for the moment, no one likes to be yelled at and they will eventually lose interest in what you are talking about and continue with whatever they were doing before you interrupted them. To keep people’s attention you have to talk in language that they understand, and find a compromise between shouting at them and quietly asking for attention. After you get an aud ...

... raised in England and attending a private school. They learned uniformity and severe discipline, under a authoritarian.

... as he cares for himself, his children and his wife. A final distinction noted by Aristotle was that a tragic hero is not a bad person deserving of his impending misfortune, but instead, has made a series of mistakes leading to his downfall. We can see that Willy does not purposely create this harmful situation for himself, he is only ignorant that certain actions of his are wrong, which contribute to his self-ruin. Willy Loman thusly personifies the attributes of a tragic hero as proposed by Aristotle. Willy, with a house, a car, a job, two sons whom he adores, and a supportive, caring wife, seems to have everythi ...
