... of the sentence. This humor is obvious to everybody watching that Bottom had made a mistake. This type of humor, while obvious, sometimes doesn't portray the meaning correctly.

This type of character is totally different than everyone else in the play; they are in a serious tone, wh ...

... novel. By definition, a pragmatist is one who believes that the meaning of conceptions is to be sought in their practical bearings, that the function of thought is to guide action, and that truth is preminently to be tested by the practical consequences of belief. Bayard Sartoris was a pragmatist. He 'let his conscience be his guide'. Telling his father about Drusilla's attempt to seduce him and refusing to avenge his father's death are two good examples of this.
