.... to which she falls victim is a product of the debilitating adventures her mind takes. These adventures are feed by the novels that she reads. They were filled with love affairs, lovers, mistresses, persecuted ladies fainting in lonely country houses, postriders killed at every relay, horses ridden to death on every page, dark forests, palpitating hearts, vows, sobs, tears and kisses, skiffs in the moonlight, nightingales in thickets, and gentlemen brave as lions gentle as lambs, virtuous as none really is, and always ready to shed floods of tears.(Flaubert 31.) Emma's already impaired .....

.... towards white women. This was an unwritten, but inexcusable law of society with harsh consequences. How that relates to the story is that the group of black boys are not suppose to be attracted to the exotic dancer as they are not suppose to be attracted to the idea of being equal with white people. This is why some of the boys try to hide the fact that they are attracted. Some of them cried, one of them fainted, and another tried to hide the proof of his arousal. They thought that if they showed that they were attracted to the exotic dancer or what she represents that they would be hurt. The narrator also has feelings tha .....

.... individual with good clothes….She realized that she was of interest to him from the one standpoint which a woman both delights in and fears. Her manner was simple, though for the very reason that she had not yet learned the many little affections with which women conceal their true feelings. (pp. 11-12, Sister Carrie) Carrie didn’t know what to expect when she got together with Drouet. She loved the wealth and money, and believed she loved Drouet. After a while she began to realize that she really didn’t love him. But she thought that marriage would be a guarantee against losing his affection and generosity. Ja .....

.... him and the "wretched" had barely conversed with the old man before his children returned from their journey and saw a monstrous creature at the feet of their father attempting to do harm to the helpless elder. "Felix darted forward, and with supernatural force tore [the creature] from his father, to whose knees [he] clung..." Felix's action caused great inner pain to the monster. He knew that his dream of living with them "happily ever after" would not happen and with the encounter still fresh in his mind along with his first encounter of humans, he “declared everlasting war against the species, and more than all, him who ha .....

.... of anti-heroes in tragedy, and how this relates to the characters of R.P.McMurphy and Hamlet, an analysis of the motivation of each is necessary. Motivation is the source of all action, and only in this area these two characters similar to a traditional protagonist. As the character himself evolves through the course of the plot, so do their motives. Hamlet and McMurphy begin at different points with different purposes, but soon meet with a common incentive. For Hamlet, this initial impulse is derived from his embitterment towards his mother for remarrying so soon after his father's death and for selecting her late husband .....

.... his free hand around in placating manner and repeatedly saying, "No." After only a few seconds the room quieted and the man said, "Please leave the room if this will offend you." He then said, "Please stay back, this will hurt someone.", and without any further hesitation he placed the gun into his mouth and pulled the trigger. There was a hollow "pop", no louder than a Fourth of July firecracker as the mans body slumped to the floor. At first, the only signs that he had been shot were the little wisps of gray hair that had suddenly just stood up as if of their own volition. His eyes were staring blankly into space as if he were .....

.... twenty years of his life, until Sir Frederick Treeves asked him to come and be studied at the London hospital. Soon, Treeves arranged with the head of the hospital for Merrick to live in an extra room at the hospital. After twenty years of loneliness and disrespect, John Merrick finally had a place to call home. He began to ignore his monstrous looks and finally allowed himself to act like human with feelings. With the help of his new friend Frederick Treeves, he even attended plays and went for walks. He lived happily at the hospital for almost seven more years where compassionate people frequently visited him. Even people o .....

.... love for animals and nature when I was growing up; although I never completely grew out of it, I don't have quite the passion I used to. Poe takes his characters from one extreme to the other. For example, his narrator in “The Black Cat” grew up a softhearted pansy, so much so that he was made fun of and mocked. Then in his adulthood he drastically changed for the worse, to the point where he hated and was annoyed by his most favored pet, Pluto and Pluto's successor. With these extremes Poe creates a character, out of the ordinary, which causes second- guessing and suspense. This sets the reader up for the climax. Poe .....

.... an individual's thoughts can occupy either a cognizant or a subliminal setting. Next, as the speaker attempts to look into the fish’s eyes, the vision is “seen through the lenses of old scratched isinglass” (Bishop 1211). Isinglass, a product from the internal organs of fish used to produce windows, creates a paradoxical statement, showing that one cannot completely connect with their internal feelings. The hazy circular relationship between the fish and mariner displays the struggle for an individual to connect with their inner self. Finally, preceding the release of the animal, five hooks from earlier retrieval .....

.... violence became the tool maintaining their masculinity among boys. Then, he mentions the two most critical socializing forces in a boy's life: homophobia and misogyny. He explains that homophobia, hatred of feminine qualities in men, and misogyny, hatred of feminine qualities in women, put pressure on them to avoid femininity, even good qualities of femininity. Then, he argues the negative side of the "traditional view of masculinity." He claims that believing in masculinity is being tough, daring and aggressive can put great pressure on boys. Thompson explains that this false view not only creates emotional stress but also incre .....
