... Helena and her were quarreling in the woods Hermia says this in regards to height – “Now I perceive that she hath made compare between our statures: she hath urged her height, And with her personage, her tall personage, Her height, forsooth, she hath prevailed with him.� (Act III Scene 2 Line 292). So obviously she is aware of her lack in height and it seems to cause her a bit of pain. Though Helena is taller than Hermia even she admits that Hermia has “sparkling eyes and a lovely voice�. Hermia is very set in what she wants from the very first scene. She has eyes only for Lysander.So obviously she is ver ...

... made it easier for the whole audience to hear what was being said (Wat). As playwrights developed the concepts of individual actors, the role of the Chorus was reduced. However, they still had an important role in the play. The playwrights used the Chorus to establish facts in the play, to clarify certain events, to reflect the society's outlook, to give insight into a character's emotions, and to point out important events as they occur (Wat). This is especially evident in Oedipus the King. On page nine, the Chorus has its first speaking part in the play (which is known as the parados), and it is invoking the ...

... her: waist was small, skin was light, a nice grade of hair, and she was somewhat educated. Dee was in a hurry to get out of the country and never come back. She wrote to her mother saying "no matter where we choose to live, she will manage to come see us. But she will never bring her friends" (Walker 63), letting everyone know that she thought she was too good to continue to take part in her heritage. Maggie was portrayed as a flat character. The reader is not told much about her, and she never changes throughout the whole story. The mother would be the static character. She is seen as an older women se ...

... for the rest of her life. From the beginning, we see that is a young and beautiful woman who has bought a child into the world with an unknown father. Hester, to the reader, is obviously a woman who has violated a strict social and religious code, but who has sinned in an affirmation of love and life. The Puritans do not take her feelings into account. They are people that take things as being right or wrong. Committing adultery is seen as wrong in the Bible, and therefore Puritans do not care of the circumstances. The Puritans are grim, forbidding people. Nonetheless they have a degree of dignity and authority ...

... children, chill all dinner tables with tales of their nine lives.� (ll. 27-30). Cats feel like the dogs live boring lives, but the speaker believes that the cats are just “curious to see what death was like, having no cause to go on licking paws, or fathering litter on litter of kittens, predictably.� (ll. 2-5) The dogs, the other symbol used for people, are the ones afraid to break the monotony of their everyday lives consisting of “doggy circles where well-smelt baskets, suitable wives, good lunches are the order of things, and where prevails much wagging of incurious heads and tails.� (ll. 11-14). ...

... getting heavily bumped from behind in the nape of the neck and the small of the back, and having my face ignominously shoved against the wall, because I did not answer those questions at sufficient length."2 While at the orphanage, Oliver from Oliver Twist also experienced a great amount of abuse. For example, while suffering from starvation and malnutrition for a long period of time, Oliver was chosen by the other boys at the orphanage to request more gruel at dinner one night. After making this simple request, "the master (at the orphanage) aimed a blow at Oliver's head with the ladle; pinioned him in his arms; and ...

... all needed, is to let the meaning choose the word and not the other way about". Orwell feels that hackneyed phrases and defunct metaphors allow a writer to easily and quickly compose a piece utterly lacking in original and intelligent thought. Orwell also cites the dangers of terms and phrases such as ‘pacification', 'transfer of population', or 'elimination of unreliable elements' as "designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidarity to pure wind". Orwell's point is clear and his evidence is well organized. He speaks with an earned authority on the subject and a c ...

... deviation abnormalities. The reader notices Joseph Strorm (David's father) uses his occupation as an advantage to destroy and abominate all type of human alteration. For instance, Joseph used his substantially moral mind to deny the request of David's aunty Harriet to trade babies to get the needed certificate, "She's a lovely baby-except for that. She is, isn't she?" (pg. 70) As a result Harriet and the baby had committed self annihilation. Not only were deviations left out they were also sent away an sometimes killed. Normality was so important to the group of Waknuk that the mut ...
