Another one of Gatsby’s goals in life was to be an extremely successful, just like his model Dan Cody, but that plan ends up failing as well. As a part of what Dan Cody taught him, Gatsby attempted to go into business with a man named Meyer Wolfsheim, but failed at that also. For such a long time Gatsby has had his eye on Daisy and has been in love with her, but this does not. Gatsby has always gazed at the green light on Daisy’s porch. Jordan Baker says,&qu ...

... anything. Also, when he first sees the Yahoos and they throw excrement on him, he responds by doing the same in return until they run away. He says, "I must needs discover some more rational being," (203) even though as a human he is already the most rational being there is. This is why Swift refers to Erasmus Darwins discovery of the origin of the species and the voyage of the Beagle--to show how Gulliver knows that people are at the top of the food chain. But if Lemule Gulliver is satirized, so are the Houyhnhnms, whose voices sound like the call of castrati. They walk on two legs ...

... by just about anything. Browning confirms this by providing some examples: My favor at her breast, The dropping of the daylight in the West, The bough of cherries some officious fool Broke in the orchard for her, the white mule She rode with round the terrace … The first example, “My favor at her breast,” shows that she found pleasure in the attention that the Duke showed to her. Yet, Browning leads us to believe that she equated this intimate contact with something as simple as the sun setting, “The dropping of the daylight in the West.” In the following passage the reade ...

... he will become king. However at this stage he thinks that he will acquire it legally as he sees murder as,’fantastical’(I,iii,139).

However, because Malcolm has just become king he cannot see how the third prophesy will come true. Macbeth’s wife solves his problem ...

... to do something different, like having a baby and a family, instead of fooling around all the time. She wants to stop being a girl and become a woman. Hemingway then presents the reader with two contrasting hills. One hill on one side of the station is dull, desolate, and barren; "it had no shade and no trees", very desert like. However, the other hill on the other side of the station is beautiful, plentiful in nature, and had "fields of grain and tress along the banks of the Ebro River." Also on each side of the station where each hill is, there is a train track. These objects are symbolic ...

... order to please his brother Hades, Zeus tells him that he can go and take his daughter Persephone to be his wife. While Persephone was playing with her friends in the beautiful outdoors picking flowers, she was kidnapped by Hades and taken to the underworld. It would seem to the ancient Greeks that it was a mans world and Father knew best. Without consulting Demeter about his brother marrying their daughter, Zeus just gave her away. Worst of all he did not ask Persephone how she felt about this whole arrangement. It was as if children were the possessions of their parents and had no say in their future plans. ...

... the audience know by saying, “Why, if it wasn’t for him you wouldn’t even know you were ill,� speaking of the apothecary. The main conflict of the play is Argon’s unwillingness to accept that he is not ill and he is, in fact, a very healthy man. This “illness� leads to the selfishness that he shows his family, especially his daughter Angelica. Later in Act I his “illnesses� prove to have relevance to the conflict when she speaks of Cleante, the man she loves. Cleante is not a doctor; therefore, Argon will not give his blessings for Angelica to marry him. The conflict of the play was that Argon ...

After stabbing Polyphemus in his eye and blinding him, Odysseus provoked and harassed the Cyclops, which angered him immensely. “ Cyclops, if ever mortal man inquire how you were put to shame and blinded, tell him Odysseus, raider of cities, took your eye: Laertes’ son whose home’s on Ithaca”, shout ...
