Mentally or physically challenged people in our society often receive the same treatment. We make fun because they are not as intelligent or physically fit as we are.

... to find out what she knew, but she turned out to know nothing at all. The symbolic significance of Mary's cast-iron coin bank is of what black people stand for to white people. The coin bank made the narrator angry, because it was symbolic of blacks, being slaves to white people, and how some white people though of black people as entertainment, and were not actually people but where just animals. 4. I believe that the narrator was unnamed for two reasons.

Secondly because of th ...

... between Hareton and his father as well. One primary example of an uncaring parent is shown between Heathcliff and his son Linton. Heathcliff did not even want his son for anything except enacting a part of his revenge. This is shown by Linton's fear of Heathcliff and Heathcliff's enmity toward his son. Linton even says “... my father threatened me, and I dread him - I dread him!”(244) to express his feeling about Heathcliff . The hostility and separation between father and son in this book shows that uncaring parents can cause serious damage in relationships with their children. This element of destructive behavior may stem from an unhappy marriage in whic ...

... can be said that she is a woman who chooses to love her children but not herself. Sethe kills her baby because, in Sethe's mind, her children are the only good and pure part of who she is and must be protected from the cruelty and the "dirtiness" of slavery(Morrison 251). In this respect, her act is that of love for her children. The selfishness of Sethe's act lies in her refusal to accept personal responsibility for her baby's death. Sethe's motivation is dichotomous in that she displays her love by mercifully sparing her daughter from a horrific life, yet Sethe refuses to acknowledge that her show of mercy is also murder. Throughout Beloved, Sethe's character co ...

Her uniquely European take on the world shocks and offends the American aristocratic sensibility. Strangely, the American sensibility seems to be more deeply ingrained in her than any other character in the movie. The freedom and the innocence that she displays is foreign to the New Yorkers that she talks to, although among Americans of the day her thoughts and actions she would be normal. The same type of personality is brought to Europe when Daisy Miller goes the ...
