... State, he pointed out that there will be three orders in the State: the Rulers (legislative and deliberative), Auxillaries (executives) and Craftsmen (productive). The institution is based, not on birth or wealth, but on natural capacities and attainments, after years of primary education. These 3 chief social functions are kept distinct and rightly performed. Since Socrates believed that qualities of a community are those of the component individuals, we may expect to find these 3 corresponding elements in each individual soul. However, the structure of the society is based on the fact that they are developed to ...

... about humans which help him to rule his kingdom. For example, he states, “True warfare is what happens between bands of the same species” (194).

The badger supports this statement when he says, “There are more than four thousand different sorts of them, and from all those kinds I can only think of five which are belligerent. There are the five ants, one termite that ...

... as archetypes and therefore very limiting. Jay Cee is portrayed as hyper, abrupt and she speaks, "waspishly" (29). She is smart and talented but she is ugly. Philomena Guinea, on the other hand, says that she was stupid at college and is always described as being surrounded by beautiful things. The beauty that Esther sees as the binary opposite of ugly seems to have been acquired through her "millions and millions of dollars" (38). Jay Cee has "brains, so her plug-ugly looks [don’t] seem to matter" (5). But, Philomena has money so nothing else matters. Mrs. Willard is portrayed ...

... property also threatens the lives of people brave enough to venture near it. The children believe that anything that comes from the Radley’s soil is poisoned, including the nuts and fruits on the trees. Jem yells at Scout once saying about the Radley property: “Don’t you know you’re not supposed to even touch the house over there? You’ll get killed if you do.” (13) The children do not know or understand Boo, so they make his property threatening and evil.

... and to what extent we can call them heroic. Gatsby and Diver are both presented as wealthy men leading privileged lives. ‘The Great Gatsby’ was written before the Depression, and the optimism and faith in the power of money within the novel demonstrates this belief that people had. Notably, it is the characters’ faith in riches, and not Fitzgerald’s own. Gatsby is a self-made millionaire, making his money through bootlegging. He has acquired vast amounts of money, and believes that this money will help persuade Daisy to love him and leave Tom. This is illustrated in Chapter five when Daisy is shown around ...

... These laws reigned supreme. They accused mentally ill people of practicing witchcraft instead of using logic to tell otherwise. After being "convicted", the "witches" would not be imprisoned; they would be stripped of the only possession left- their life. An example of this is Mistress Hibbons who allowed the laws to convince her that she was a servant to "the Prince Satan" himself. Another example of these unsympathetic omnipresent laws is when a spouse is lost and can not be found. When this occurs the widow most likely wants to get on with her life, but the widow can not have any type of rela ...

... following his own beliefs and not worrying about the consequences. He doesn’t seem to care what people want him to do, or what people expect him to do. He doesn’t live by societies’ rules, but rather his own set of rules, where he only does what he feels he should do. Bartleby is unaffected by other people and their ways, he is unaffected by society and so called, normal life. He doesn’t do what he is expected by society, but rather what he expects of himself. After reading this Bartleby seems less abnormal, and begins to fit many of the characteristics Emerson uses to describe “self reliance�. I ...
