    As the prologue continues the reader is introduced to governess on her meeting with “the master”. To a critical reader this first impression of the governess could be considered as a significant indication to her neurotic tendencies. Indeed the governess becomes instantly besotted by her employer; “I was rather carried away”. Feminist critics have raised the question as to whether the reliability of the protagonist would be in doubt had she been male? Then again, the act of writing the prologue in past tense gives the reader two male adjudicators of the tale. The fact that both men seem entirely trustworthy of the governess’ manuscript as being a true account of events is supportive of the paranormal theory.…

    She was very quiet when I saw her and she sat in the corner and knit all day. When remembering Madame Defarge I think of her characteristics as “ Madame Defarge was a stout woman of about his own age, with a watchful eye that sold them seem to look at anything, A large hand to heavily ringed, a steady face, , strong features, and a great composure of manner”( Dickens 31). This shows Madame Defarge's physical appearances and that she was well respected. She had a confidence in her that no one could back down from. When thinking about Madame Defarge’s personality and how she related to the world “Only one soul was to be seen, and that was Madame Defarge- who leaned against the door-post, knitting, and saw nothing”(Dickens 47). As Madame Defarge is knitting she seems to be unaware of her surroundings and seems exceptionally innocuous, but in reality she is causing deaths. When Madame Defarge adds John Barsad to the registry she says “Eh my faith. It is a portrait! He shall be registered to-morrow” ( Dickens 171). Therefore, Madame Defarge does not take anyone's feelings into consideration since she is laughing and taking the deaths of people's lives as a joke. Madame Defarge is a cruel and murderous human that deserves to be punished for all the harm she has…

    Medea's Revenge Analysis

    Euripides’s creation of a character who thirsts for vengeance was groundbreaking. Medea stopped at nothing to settle the score with those who had wronged her, even if that meant sacrificing her own children. In Medea, Medea specifically wants to exact her retribution on the man that left her, Jason. She has lost everything, whether it be her home, her marriage, or even her sanity. Medea must question herself why this desire for vengeance is so potent. She decided that killing her children was necessary in order to gain the last laugh, and she suffered no consequences for it. Many steps also had to be taken in order for Medea to achieve her ultimate goal. Vengeance may have been seen as justice in the eyes of Medea, but the two are very different.…

    As the play begins, the reader meets Stella, Stanley and Mitch. Stella and Stanley are laughing, joking around and being friendly towards each other. Eunice is also in this scene, by Stella’s side. It is clear that she is a secondary character based on the lack of her description other than “The white woman is Eunice, who occupies the upstairs flat”. Blanche is quickly introduced as well, seen in fancy attire and obviously does not fit in with the area. From the beginning Blanche seems over the top and very flighty as if she’s hiding something. Stella is seen as a regular housewife, she does as she’s told and she loves her husband no matter what. Stanley takes an…

    “At length, by dint of much wriggling, and loud and incessant expostulations upon the unbecomingness of his hugging a fellow male in that matrimonial sort of style, I succeeded in extracting a grunt; and presently, he drew back his arm, shook himself all over like a Newfoundland dog just from the water, and sat up in bed, stiff as a pike-staff, looking at me, and rubbing his eyes as if he did not altogether remember how I came to be there, though a dim consciousness of knowing something about me seemed slowly dawning over him. Meanwhile, I lay quietly eyeing him, having no serious misgivings now, and bent upon narrowly observing so curious a creature. When, at last, his mind seemed made up touching the character of his bedfellow, and he became, as it were, reconciled to the fact; he jumped out upon the floor, and by certain signs and sounds gave me to understand that, if it pleased me, he would dress first and then leave me to dress afterwards, leaving the whole apartment to myself. Thinks I, Queequeg, under the circumstances, this is a very civilized overture; but, the truth is, these savages have an innate sense of delicacy, say what you will; it is marvelous how essentially polite they are; I pay this particular compliment to Queequeg, because he treated me with so much civility and consideration, while I was guilty of great rudeness; staring at him from…

    The use of mirrors in this sense is often associated with Eve and Phoebe, the villains of the film. Eve is often seen gazing in to mirrors, such as when she held up Margo’s dress to her body. In the film, mirrors represent an idealistic view of self, a depiction of what they want to see. When Eve is seen to be making sexual advances toward Bill, she asks him, “is that what you want me to be?” When Bill then rejects her advances, Eve angrily turns toward the mirror while dressed like Margo and sees herself in her transformed image. Eve then rips off her wig and throws it at the mirror, to represent her failed attempt at changing her image to lure the man she desired. When Eve is first introduced to Margo, the reflection in the mirror shows a raw and stripped back version of Margo with no makeup as she smokes, looking far from her best. This rawness in Margo’s appearance as highlighted by the reflection in the mirror depicts her susceptibility and vulnerability to Eve’s plans. Mankiewicz portends Margo’s fall through her underwhelming mirror image, which is superseded by the attractive and modest Eve, whom can also be seen in the mirror, which alludes to Eve’s usurpation of Margo in the theatre. This motif is once again seen as Eve is seen raw and stripped back, smoking and slouched over, looking far from her best as Phoebe looks at her through the mirror.…

    The relationships contained within the story are changed, manipulated, controlled, faded, and the only real relationships are in fictional television shows. However, some of these cases may also be in the real world. For seven days, Clarisse comes out of her house and she walks with Montag. She walks him to the corner in wind, rain, and shine, giving her face a sunburnt by later afternoon: “Why is it," he said, one time, at the subway entrance, "I feel I've known you so many years?" "Because I like you," she said, "and I don't want anything from you. And because we know each other.” (28). Montag starts to have connections with somebody, something that isn’t based off of technology, which makes his friendship with Clarisse real. This is something new to Montag because he is so used to not having a joining with anybody, not even his wife, Mildred. “It’s strange, I don’t miss her, it’s strange I don’t feel much of anything,” said Montag. “Even if she dies, I realized a moment ago, I don’t think I’ll feel sad. It isn’t right. Something must be wrong with me.” (155). It’s sad that after the short time Montag has spent with Clarisse, he still has a better bond with her than he ever did with Mildred. A lot of things can…

    Eunice’s relationship with her husband Steve is extremely similar to Eunice and Stanley’s relationship. Actually the two relationships are almost identical. Just like Stella, Eunice is also physically beaten by her husband. In scene five there seems to be some ruckus taking place up in Eunice’s flat and you soon hear Eunice scream at Steve “You hit me! I’m gonna call the police!” (Williams 86). But in Stella’s flat her and Blanche are able to giggle about the fight because they know that their relationship will go on and be okay regardless of the fight. Eunice quickly gets over the fight and turns to alcohol to forget about it and Stella refers to this as “much more practical!” (Williams 87). The fact the Eunice is able to get over the fight so quickly portrays hope for Stella. If Eunice is able to get over fights so quickly obviously it is possible for Stella to get over fights with Stanley hence the laughter. Similar to Eunice being abused, so is Stella in scene three. Stanley and his friends are playing poker and drunkenly “Stella charges after Stella” (Williams 63) and it is presumed she is physically attacked and she then goes on to say “I want to go away, I want to go away” (Williams 63) and she then storms up to Eunice’s flat where she is very welcoming and tries to keep Stella calm. Eunice once again shows her kind-heartedness when she defends Stella yells at Stanley “You can’t beat on…
