Daegel's Short Story
He had been filled with rage for so long; it was the only thing he knew. His mother was dead, killed at the hands of Uther. Oh, the King may not have been the one to strike the fatal blow, but it was his men who had hunted the woman down and executed her for the crime of being a sorceress.

Daegel had seen it all happen from his hiding place amongst the scrubby brush and fallen leaves. His mother's cries for mercy were burned into his brain. And so he grew from a scared youth into a young man filled with a fiery hatred for the King and all he held dear.

Daegel was a discontented and frustrated young man with no outlet for his rage, no way to get back at the man who had taken away his only family. That is, until he met another who felt as he

    Analysis And Themes In Eliezer Wiesel's Night

    On the evening of Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) the Jews in Buna gather for a prayer. Eliezer, who once lived for prayer and religious study, rebels against this. He feels that humans are, in a sense, greater than God, stronger than God, to still pray to a God who allows such horrors. "I was the accuser, God the accused……

    A Character Analysis Of Eliezer Wiesel's Night

    In the beginning, before all the agony and pain, Eliezer was a strong young man with morals and determination in his eyes. Once filled with joy he became cold, his eyes turned gray and he grew silent. After many traumatizing and daunting events, Eliezer learned to stay quiet. While his dad was being beaten by the German guards, Eliezer remembers, “My father had just been struck in front of me, I had not even blinked. I had watched and kept silent.” Eliezer was too apprehensive to stand up against the guards as all the traumatic experiences hindered his ability to react to such a horrific event. As noted, during the holocaust, Eliezer was stripped of his humanity and voice. With his dignity deprived, he no longer had the will to live. As he…

    Then I believed that I would kill Anse. It was though he had tricked me, hidden within a word like within a paper screen and struck me in the back through it (40 172).” Addie’s isolation from Anse contributed to help mold Darl into who he is. Darl feels loneliness and uncertainty, just like his mother Addie did. Darl’s lack of love and his confusion of why Addie favored Jewel, eventually led to his future outcome.…

    Analysis Of Night By Elie Wiesel

    Born in a Hungarian ghetto, Elie Wiesel was sent as a child to the nazi death camps of Auschwitz and Buchenwald. Night is the story of that atrocity; here he relates his childhood perceptions of an inhumanity that was as painful as it was absolute. Night uses three specific types of narration making it relevant to different sets of people, yet somehow the whole world: individualistic - as seen specifically through the eyes of the narrator, communal - as it relates to both the Jewish community and their relationship with the Nazis, and spiritual - both in Wiesel's struggle with God and in the Lord's apparent silence to his followers.…

    Why Does Hamlet Feel At The Beginning Of Hamlet's First Soliloquy

    He is deeply suspicious and accuses her of shedding “unrighteous tears” from “galled eyes” just before she “married”. Therefore, in spite of his determination not to think on it any further, the prince is unable to forget about his mother’s recent behaviour and he begins to question her loyalty to his father. Using a simile to compare his mother to “Niobe” who “all tears” cried for the loss of her children, Hamlet feels that “a beast that wants discourse of reason/ Would have mourn’d longer”. Hamlet’s disgust for his mother has grown to such an extent, he now feels that she has less self-control than a base animal. This is a very powerful metaphor because it underlines Hamlet’s bitterness and fury for his…

    The narrator tells her lover, “Today I tell him it’s a comfort, this sadness, a comfort to have fallen at last into a misfortune my mother has always predicted for me when she shrieks in the desert of her life.” (Duras 44). The narrator portrays her mother’s madness which is translated into sudden attacks in which she even locks her up. She attacks her and shouts, “She’s going to throw her out, she wishes she’d die, no one will have anything to do with her, she’s disgraced, worse than a bitch.”(Duras 58).…

    Hamlet Compare + Contrast

    Throughout William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, the audience is continuously reminded of the fact that clarity and madness have been known to be genuinely confused. As the Prince of Denmark, Hamlet is dealt a significant blow when the loss of his father leaves an opening for his power hungry uncle to assume the throne, becoming the king of Denmark and thus ruling a kingdom that is not rightfully his own. In an attempt to unveil his uncle’s scheming and guiltiness, Hamlet continuously tries to prove his uncle has committed the murder of a once beloved king of Denmark. However, his own scheming proves to be significant as he continuously feigns madness in the presence of his uncle, mother, Polonius, and especially his true love, Ophelia. Hamlet’s clarity begins to succumb to his madness as he truly believes that he will uncover the deadly truth of which he gained knowledge through the ghost of his father, the deceased King Hamlet. As the plot progresses in this tragic play, the audience sees all too well that this madness is no longer feigned; instead it has taken Hamlet over as he truly believes that his uncle is responsible for the death of his dearly loved father. However, the death of another much loved father proves to truly make Ophelia go mad as Hamlet is truly at fault for the murder of Polonius. While her insanity is caused by grief, Hamlet’s is self-inflicted; but, the seemingly harmless self-affliction becomes too much for Hamlet to handle after the death of his love, Ophelia, and he realizes the extent of the harm and damage he has caused in the once peaceful realm of Denmark.…
