... well, such as how the female affected by the patriarchy will be not only a female, but a youngest daughter as well. Some common motifs associated with the patriarchal system in the fairy tales would be the male ruler of a kingdom, the ruler making blind promises, and those promises concerning his beautiful princess daughter. The daughter is almost never given a choice in the matter, but another common motif in fairy tales is when the princess conveniently falls in love with the man her father has chosen for her. In other stories, the supposedly patriarchal social structure in the land, is really held by a femal ...

... our dear brother death the memory be green, and that it us benefitted to bear our hearts in grief.” This is not what he really feels, because he desired power over the country and wanted to marry Gertrude (King Hamlet’s wife), so he was glad he poisoned his brother. Later, after he watches the play Prince Hamlet planned (in order to avenge his father) which involved showing the same actions Claudius took when he killed King Hamlet, Cladius then regretted he killed Hamlet’s father, as he realised how evil his actions were.

... promising him wealth and a high spot in society. This book consists of many adventures these two had, both were convinced that they were doing brave and honorable acts of chivalry, when they were only two fools running around the countryside. Cervantes tries to make his book more interesting with the use of point of view. Don Quixote sees what his mind and imagination create, not that which is transferred through the optic nerves in a very clean-cut scientific manner. He retreats to a world that holds meaning for him. When he first departs, he stops at an inn and his eyes make it a beautiful castle with blushing ...

... from the tragedy of losing her son, so she tried to blame her loss on Catherine. This also relates to Tennessee Williams' life when he was younger. Older children mistreated Tennessee when he was young because he was a little different from the other children. After this happened he started to write, and express his emotions through words rather than fighting back and getting into trouble. He rose above his problems when he was young, and this characteristic is shown in his three plays previously listed. In the first of the three plays, The Glass Menagerie, Laura expresses the theme of you can overcome your obs ...

... understand what Shakespeare thought comedy was in the 1600's and to see if our views on comedy are the same today. A Midsummer Night's Dream is a festive comedy. The play takes place in June and this is a bewitched time. In the spring the custom is to celebrate the return of fertility to the earth. During this time the young people spend the night in the woods to celebrate. Shakespeare uses the greenworld pattern in this play. The play begins in the city, moves out to the country and then back to the city. Being in the country makes things better because there is tranquility, freedom and people can become unciviliz ...

... he was a dark and terrible person. "He was not noticeably darker than when he dropped in, but the shock of black hair, down his nape and low on his forehead, seemed to suit his gloomy face and made what had seemed at first an unsociable remoteness into something forbidding." Roger was an authoritative big'un that didn't seem to care about the consequences of his actions. Not only was his appearance gloomy, but his personality tended to be as well. "Roger, uncommunicative by nature, said nothing." His physical appearance led the reader to believe that Roger was a completely corrupt character, inside and out. Ro ...

This made Macbeth very angry, he risked everything to become King and after him none of his family will follow. Only for them; and mine eternal jewel Given to the ...

... which is the colour symbolizing the devil. A very powerful metaphor is the comparison of painful experiences of the troops to "[v]ile, incurable sores on innocent tongues."(24) This metaphor emphasizes that the troops will never forget these horrific experiences. As you can see, Owen has used figurative language so effectively that the reader gets drawn into the poem. The images drawn in this poem are so graphic that it could make readers feel sick. For example, in these lines: "If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood/ Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs/ Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud," ...

... building of a barn-house combo, white washing the sod walls with lime, and growing and selling potatoes to Ole’s chopping wood up on the copping block; everyone did their part in order to survive or at least to live somewhat comfortably. The second topic deals with the mental state of the pioneer when living in total desolation. For the male pioneers, living on the prairie was almost a dream. This was the place one could hunt and build. This was the place one could live off of his own hands. For example, Per Hans is basically happy with the prairie from the beginning to the end of the book. ...
