If anything, it illustrates a lack of self confidence in himself as well as a lack of trust in her. In addition, after departing his wife, Goodman Brown states to the mysterious man he meets in the forest, that "Faith kept [him] back awhile."

His school was described with having "bare floors and naked walls". Paul's uplifting arena was either glaring up at the actors, divas, or performers at the Schenley Hotel or at the works of art at Carnegie Hall. Even though he had spent numerous days fantasizing at masterpieces and stage plays, Paul "had no desire to become an actor, any more thatn he had to become a musician.

Mayella didn’t know what extent of legal trouble her actions might offer for Tom, not to mention problems with her father.

The most touching point is that with ...

These places help to introduce many characters into the plot. One of the main characters, Madame Therese Defarge, is a major antagonist who seeks revenge, be ...
