But for Dimmesdale he had a whole different plan. He came back to town as a different person with a different name. Now he was Roger Chillingworth (We don’t know his name before the first scaffold incident), a well-appreciated and educated physician. He came to help Dimmesdale, who was very sick. He became his close physician and they became very close friends. But the truth was that Chillingworth was constantly investig ...

... solution because he has not accurately solved the problem. On the other hand, a non-utilitarian would reject even the notion of deliberating about the act of murder in such a mathematical manner. He might contend that Raskolnikov’s reasoning, and the entire theory of utilitarianism, cannot be used to judge morality because it rejects individual rights and contains no moral absolutes. A utilitarian bases his belief upon two principles: the theory of right actions and the theory of value. These two principles work together and serve as criteria for whether or not a utilitarian can deem an action morally right. First, the theory of right action argues that ...

She is furthermore, a perfectionist. "Everything had to be perfect, never mind the impossible hardship it worked on her, on them all." Conrad is not unlike his mother. He is an overachiever, an "A" student, on the swim team and a list-maker. His father tells the psychiatrist, "I see her not being able to forgive him. For surviving, maybe. No, that's not it, for being too much like her"(147). In some cases weak people tend on to forget what’s real and what’s not, “Depending upon re ...

... subtle use of nature that gives us the backdrop for the story (and, incidentally, the basis for a paper). The first way that Murasaki employs nature is in her precise characterizations of the dozens of main and minor players in Genji. From the season in which the character appears to the clothes that they wear to the portion of Genji's palace that they inhabit, without a more than casual appreciation to nature in reading this novel a great chunk of the literary value is lost. "[Murasaki} is not content simply to describe the charms of the different seasons, but they are skillfully harmonized with the feelings of the characters" (Shinkokai, 1970 p.55). The first ...

As well, Fowles appears to have written Sarah with a modern woman in mind; she is truly unsuited for 19th century living and she is shunned by her community because, as she says: "I have a freedom they cannot understand." (Fowles 142). She is an admitted non-conformist as is evident when she states: "I am a doubly dishonored woman. By circumstances. And by choice." (Fowles 142). Her status is not something she is ashamed of; in fact, she does not wish to give it up. Sarahs' choice to be different is what has given her her freedom. The reader can easily relate to Sarah's motives since it is often a wanting of change that brings ...
