... does his best to protect Esmerelda. Contrarily, he is protected by the Archdeacon. There are four types of love, only one of which involves a man's physical love for a woman and vice versa. This type of love is known as Eros. It is defined as a relationship in which two parties are physically attracted to one another. Esmerelda, the gypsy, is quite beautiful. She dances in the midst of a crowd near a bonfire: All eyes were fixed on her, all mouths hung open. As she danced to the rhythm of the tambourine which her round, delicate arms held over her head, she seemed to be some sort of supernatural creature. (22) Quasimodo is taken by her loveliness just l ...

At one point, trying to justify his actions to himself, he says, 3You understand it was a continental concern, that Trading Society; but I have a lot of relations on the living continent, because it1s cheap and not so nasty as it looks they sayż (12).

... has changed dramatically as a character throughout the play. Macbeth was tortured with remorse after Duncan’s murder but upon hearing of Banquo’s successful assassination he is elated. His vaulting ambition was driving him to extreme measures and he could do nothing to abate it. Macbeth had risked his life to attain the throne and he had no choice but to employ Machiavellian practices to retain it. The appearance of Banquo’s ghost at the royal banquet horrifies Macbeth. Shakespeare brilliantly uses irony to make Banquo’s emergence very dramatic: Macbeth: Fail not our feast. Banquo: My lord, I will not. (III, i, ll 28-29 ...

... the smiling and scowling face of the physician seems somehow to remain "painted on the darkness," (115). Martin shows how good can shine on the physician, yet his evil still remains in the darkness. Even Pearl, an innocent child who does not know Chillingworth, refers to him as a dark person. When speaking to her mother, she says, "Come away, mother! Come away, or yonder old Black Man will catch you" (Hawthorne 123)! The "black" in "black man" refers to Chillingworth's evil, which is clearly acknowledged by even a small child. Guilt is also acknowledged by others through the dark imagery. It is shown through the Puritan's clothing, which is "the blackest s ...

... the effect money can have on religion, government, and anything within its touch. Writing about such topics is hard to do without offending people. Leacock's technique combines money with humour, and accompanies his moral message with ironic characters; their exaggerated actions, and a constant comical tone to prevent readers from being offended. Leacock's utopian world is filled with humorous labels that represent the "Plutonian's" personalities. "Ourselves Monthly"; a magazine for the modern self-centered, is a Plutonian favourite. To fill their idle days, the Plutonian women are in an endless search for trends in literature and religion. Without the distr ...

... problems. I enjoyed this book because of the interesting characters in the novel. I disliked this book because it was confusing. At first I thought Jim Gatz and Jay Gatsby were two different people. It was also confusing figuring out the theme of this novel . At first I thought it was about wealthy people not being happy, but all the wealthy people were happy in sick ways. What I also found to be confusing was all the married couples and all of the mistresses. Everyone who was married seemed to be cheating with a dozen mistresses. This book was hard for me to understand. My other reason for not liking this book was because of its realistic theme. In the be ...
