Offred Quotes Analysis
b) On her way back from the birth, Offred remembers (has a flashback) how Moira escaped the Red Centre and how no one has seen her since then. She is now laying down flat on her bed thinking about what she could have said or done to escape.
c) This quote relates to the theme changing fate. Offred thinks about how Moira escaped and starts reflecting on what she could have done. Unlike Offred, Moira often went out of her way – she fought back and took risks (if her plans failed, she could be sent to the Colonies) hoping to gain the freedom she wanted. Another theme projected in this quote is uncertainty and jeopardy. In the quote, Offred is constantly comparing and contrasting between the two sides when it comes to her actions, which shows

    Comparing poems: “Cousin Kate” and “Catrin”

    Contrastingly in “Catrin” the imagery is extended to demonstrate the permanence of the relationship between the mother and daughter. “Red rope of love” and “From the heart’s pool that old rope”. This metaphor implies the mental and physical bonds between the two people. Alliteration in “red rope” emphasises the sense of anger that love can sometimes cause. The rope is a metaphorical tie between the mother and daughter which connects the two, despite their differences. Furthermore the “red rope” contrasts with the colour of the white room. This depicts how the passion of the relationship stands out in the “hot, white room” of the hospital that is mentioned earlier in the poem. Extended imagery helps to establish how the love between the mother and daughter is unconditional and constant despite any conflict, unlike the relationship between the maiden and the lord in “Cousin Kate” where the persona is just tossed aside when a prettier woman comes along.…

    Sarah Wilensky's Quote Analysis

    Sarah Wilensky's quote states that although technology have made us the generation of "copy-paste" ("Generation Plagiarism" Wilensky ), it also helps identify plagiarism in an easier manner; As per Wilensky, technology provides "easy access to information makes it possible to verify whether that familiar passage is indeed some other scholar’s work, or a case of déjà vu"("Generation Plagiarism" Wilensky ). In addition, the author argues that must students have been forced to avoid plagiarism because of its consequences and easier detection. I agree with Wilensky's quote and share her opinion. Because of new technologies development, we are now aware of plagiarism being committed, and it's consequences.…

    A Raisin In The Sun Quote Analysis

    The French author Victor Hugo once said, “There is nothing like a dream to create the future.” The quote means whenever you have a dream, the dream shapes and sets your future. Hugo’s quote is correct because dreams are the key to setting your goals so you can achieve further in the future. In Lorraine Hansberry’s play A Raisin in the Sun, this quote is true because of Walter’s dream to be the man of the house, Benethea’s dream to live past society’s expectations of an African American woman and become a doctor, and Mama’s dream is to have her family united as one.…

    Maus Quote Analysis

    In Maus, a very strong theme used is honouring the dead. They honor the dead a lot throughout the book, here is one example that stood out to me. “ And I saw them, they hanged there for one full week… When I think now of them, it still makes me cry.” This quote shows that after so many years the death of these innocent jews, still has an impact on his life. I say this as, even after so many years have past, he still takes time out of his day to remember them, keep his memories of the holocaust alive and still feels remorse for their deaths. It shows that over so many years, he still feels bad for all of the innocent jews that were hanged. I find this quote is amazing for showing how much Vladek cares about every single life lost. I think this…

    The Crucible Quote Analysis

    In The Crucible by Arthur Miller, the couple, John and Elizabeth Proctor, undergoes a series of complications that only continues to aggravate the already thinly veiled relationship they have. Their strife begins with John Proctor, a stern farmer of good faith, who is only concerned with any matters that either benefit or potentially scar his reputation. John, however, is of good faith only in the faces of the public. He conceals one dark secret to the public; he had an affair with Abigail, who used to be John Proctor’s servant, but was fired seven months ago when John’s wife exhumed the truth. John’s affair had caused great turbulence in his marital relationship with Elizabeth ever since. The couple now has a very unstable relationship because Elizabeth is very skeptical of John, as he has been seeing Abigail lately in Salem, and John is trying to reconcile for his actions. John feels that he is being “judged for lies” by his wife every time he comes back from a trip to Salem, although John is desperately trying to accommodate for his actions such as his endeavors to “please [his wife]” (Miller 52). Elizabeth on the other hand feels that since her husband had already cheated on her once, he could be inclined to do it again. Therefore, Elizabeth can no longer love John the way she used to, and she speaks in a cold and dispassionate manner towards him, making innuendos of John’s sinful act with Abigail. For instance, as John converses with Elizabeth after returning home from Salem, he “gets up, goes to her, [and] kisses her,” but Elizabeth “receives it with a certain disappointment,” which evinces that she is still distraught from the incident seven months ago (Miller 48). As both John and Elizabeth continue to struggle in their fragile relationship, tensions may become worse as Abigail becomes more and more desperate to be with John; she believes that John still has feelings for her and will do whatever it takes to be with him.…

    The Aprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz Quote Analysis

    Though the passage I have selected is short, I believe it is the most obvious indication to the main theme of the book, as well as a common goal for not only Duddy Kravitz, but countless others, fictitious and not. I could have chosen a longer quotation from the book, but I felt that this phrase clearly communicates to the reader that the "American Dream" has been a preoccupation with Duddy since he was very young.…

    The Crucible Quotes Analysis

    Written by Arthur Miller, the Crucible is a reading filled with many significant and important quotes. One excerpt expresses the hidden dishonesty and deceit within the Puritan society. It says, “There are wheels within wheels in this village, and fires within fires” (28). At this part in the play, Mrs. Anne Putnam is having a dispute with Rebecca Nurse over the reasoning for her many miscarriages. Unlike Mrs. Putnam, Rebecca has been granted with plenty of children making her quite envious over Rebecca. She tries to suggest that maybe the Devil helped her have so many kids. This quote is therefore used by Mrs. Putnam to express her religious knowledge in order to help explain about this mysterious and puzzling event that has been occurring in their quaint village recently.…
