The Way We Live Now
... and indeed, we never meet a fully-fledged character, but only hear the orchestra of voices that accurately reflect the mediated and fragmented character of modern community life. News travels among them like an electric current, carrying shock waves of fear and pain. Their pooling of medical lore results in an eclectic mix of remedies that reach from chicken soup to the patient's favorite jelly beans.

unsettling responses. ...

Comparison Of The Illiads Achi
... for their troops, and are both very strong. They both had very high confidence in themselves at the beginning of the fight; feeling that they could both beat the other in a fight. This opinion changed, however, shortly into the battle, where Hector began to feel less and less confidant as he slowly lost. The reason they fought was for a just cause, they both believed, although their causes were quite different. These two warriors were not too similar, but they were very different.
One of the most obvious reasons that these two men were different was that one was fighting for the Troy, the other for Greece. He ...

Death Of A Salesman
... seemingly wretched character of Willy Loman, to understand how he came to these dreams. Secondly, we must evaluate Willy's eldest son, Biff, we must perceive his knowledge of his 'father' and why he warns his father thus.

Macbeth
... sorts of people. But we must not, therefore, deny him an entirely human complexity of motives. For example, his fighting in Duncan's service is magnificent and courageous, and his evident joy in it is traceable in art to the natural pleasure which accompanies the explosive expenditure of prodigious physical energy and the euphoria which follows. He also rejoices no doubt in the success which crowns his efforts in battle - and so on. He may even conceived of the proper motive which should energize back of his great deed:
The service and the loyalty I owe,
In doing it, pays itself.
But while he destroys the king's e ...

Suspenseful
... dim streetlight. In the distance, standing in front of her house, she could just barely make out a dark figure, which seemed to blend with the sombre night. She scrubbed her eyes to focus but the image was unclear. Multiple clips of possibilities that explained the enigma of this 'man in black' and his intentions flashed through her mind. The words 'rapist' and 'serial killer' were her only thoughts.
Terrified she slowed her pace as she tried to decide whether she would avoid finding out his purpose by going to her neighbour's house and stay there the night, or ignore her fear and go home. "Look at yourself ...

Catcher In The Rye
... goddam bar till around one o'clock or so, getting drunk as a
bastard. I could hardly see straight." (pg. 150) Holden tried all he could to fit in. He
drank, cursed and criticized life in general to make it seem he was very knowing of these
habits. Holden used the term 'phonies' to describe more than a few people in this book.
He used the term to be what a person is if they don't act naturally and follow other
people's manners and grace. Holden didn't like phonies, he thought of them as if they
were trying to show off. He didn't like it when they showed off because it seemed so fake
and unnatural every time t ...

He is spoken of hundreds of times in the Old Testament through symbols and prophecies -- all pointing to the future and the coming of Someone. The Old Testament cannot be read without being aware of that constant promise running through each page. Someone is definitely coming.

The Final Soliloquy Of Richard
... as its role in the establishment of the setting for the important death scene. From his first few lines, Richard indicates that he is alone, locked away in a prison cell, and isolated from all external influences. Richard loosely summarizes the actions of the play, specifically Bullingbroke's usurpation of the throne and his own decline. Much of what he says foreshadows his imminent death. However, it is only in the face of death that Shakespeare reveals the nature of the former king. The most important role that this passage plays is to demonstrate the transformation that Richard has undergone since relin ...
