... on herself instead. Chopin makes several political statements in The Awakening. Chopin acknowledges sexuality in women and women’s rights in a time period where these were unspoken and unacceptable.

Then he flees, fearing the Pharoah's wrath. Consequently, he finds himself in the land of Midian. One day he tends to "the flock of his father-in-law," on Mount Sinai, when suddenly God speaks to him in the burning bush. This seems so incredible. Of all Hebrews, Moses, the man who killed another man, is chosen by God to be the catalyst in the great upcoming movement. Then Moses makes it clear to God that he is inca ...

... previous life. The church had let him down and his closest freind had robbed him. This supposed freind even set him up for an accusation of murder. To top it all off, Silas’s wife to be was also taken by this wolf in sheep’s clothing. This type of betrayal makes a person hate humanity especially in such a close knit community.

... More and Meursault refuse to compromise their beliefs and as a result society condemns them. Despite their obvious differences More and Meursault were similar men in many ways. Both men led routine lifestyles. More is a very devout Christian and as such is immersed in repetitious behaviour. Throughout the play More is often found praying, even during the arrival of the King at his home.

Norfolk is indignant at this b ...

Another way that blood is symbolized is as of guilt. First Macbeth hints at his guilt w ...

Do they get their kicks out of just looking at me and making some dim-witted comments to their friends? I’m sick of these bastards, absolutely sick of them. Here I am wheeling through the shopping centre just wanting to go to the music store to pick up that new CD I wanted. But as usual I have to deal with being stared at continuously by these narrow-minded people who just think of me as some kind of retard. I don†...
