This quote by Duff Brenna, "All literature shows us the power of emotion, It is emotion, not reason, that motivates characters in literature." To me means that it is emotion that affects characters in literature not reason or thought. I Agree with this statement because many stories characters do what they feel is right not what is logically right.…
Duff Brenna once said, "All literature shows us the power of emotion. It is emotion, not reason that motivates characters in literature." To me, this quote means that it is emotion that causes characters to make decisions, not reason. I agree with this quote because characters in literature do what they feel is right at the time, not what they feel is logically right. In William Shakespeare 's tragedy Romeo and Juliet and John Steinbeck 's novella Of mice and Men, the characters demonstrate how emotion can overpower reason.…
In the case of Victor Frankenstein’s creature, there was no opportunity to be instructed by a father figure, so the monster was faced with the more difficult task of forming morals completely on his own. The creature was forced to learn to live on its own because Victor abandoned it as soon as it opened its eyes. This causes…
Throughout works of literature, when a person has to deal with external pressures, forces beyond his or her control, either his true character is revealed, or what already comprises his personality is magnified. In the novel the Great Gatsby, the character Jay Gatsby is defined and clarified by the way that he faces external forces. Gatsby’s goal was to get Daisy at all cost, so he did everything to do so and this corrupted him.…
The Great Gatsby is considered as a masterpiece of American classics. This is the story of fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan. Gatsby throws up incredible parties to make people enjoyed. He does everything for the love of Daisy but in return He gets disappointedly left.

The two of them have a different degrees of affection towards each other. Gatsby deeply cares for so much he becomes obsessed. Neither of them are in a healthy or stable relationship and it tears them apart. Daisy has strong feelings for Gatsby, but she does not know what to do with these feelings. Because of Daisy indecisiveness he argues with Daisy, telling her to leave Tom and say she never once loved him, "Just tell him the truth-that you never loved him-and it’s all wiped out forever," (139). He pictures Daisy as his property and no one other than him can have his property. Gatsby tries to get Daisy through force, by telling Tom that she never loved him. This new obsession has grown out of jealously and the idea he can not have her to himself. Gatsby's deep love for Daisy has changed into a unhealthy…
According to Duff Brenna, “All literature shows us the power of emotion. It is emotion, not reason, that motivates characters in literature.” This means characters in literature are instigated to follow their true emotions instead of their own sanity. Characters follow their hearts rather than their minds, which is usually the reasons behind their actions. This is true as demonstrated in the two novels To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee and Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton.…
In the book the narrarator explained Gatsby’s view of Daisy, “many men had loved her increased her value in his eyes”. This shows how it wasn’t who she was inside, that Gatsby was in love with, it was her image that he was in love with. He knew that her being with him, would complete his image and that is all Gatsby truly cared about. Just like a popular item that has increased in price due to popular demand, Daisy was a woman in demand that many men wished to be with. This made her more desirable and made Gatsby think of her has the perfect women. Gatsby wanted to be the man that was envied and had the woman of every mans dreams. Gatsby also spends a lot of time admiring her beautiful home which also shows how he loved her status as the richest and most desirable girl rather than her personality. One of the things that keeps Gatsbys eyes on Daisy is the chase. Like I said earlier, she is a woman in demand who has it all and the fact that Gatsby would have to work hard to make an impression on her gets him excited and wanting her even…
Gatsby refuses to not meet his aspirations and will fulfill his dream by any means necessary. Although Gatsby's intentions and motivation to become…
