Dolly Hall and Wife
- on his way home to Brunswick. He doesn't know for sure if his wife takes him back. This story he tells six teenagers who are on the same bus as Vingo. To start with Vingo is a very shy person, because he doesn't speak very long with the girl, just short dialogues. This can be seen in line 25 up to 27. In addition he doesn't show any emotions and sink into the silence. Vingo is a romantic and respectful man, because of his settings to his wife. He says to the girl who talks with him, that he understands, if his wife choose an another man and forget him, but if she wants to take him back, she hangs out yellow handkerchiefs on an oak tree in Brunswick. This portrays the narrator in line 50 up to 54. In contrast of his wife and his three children, the narrator claims that he is a very thoughtful person. This can be concluded from the fact that he sits all alone the way back home, without doing anything, just listens to music or to read a book. This is underlined in line 10 to 11 and line 38 up to 44 - on his way home to Brunswick. He doesn't know for sure if his wife takes him back.

    The ideological values of the protagonist, Philomena Beviso, structure the text in the story. Philomena Beviso had the farsightedness of judging her future husband as a worthy man. She had the intelligence to foresee that Costanzo had something exceptional in him. This is proven by the fact that while Costanzo asked her to marry him two years later, Philomena had made up her mind the moment she laid her eyes on him. Another ideological value of the protagonist is the way she handled the issue of the ownership of the shoe store. After many years when Mr. Beviso did not return, Philomena had planned to own the shoe store after seeing her husband troubled because of this issue. Unfortunately, this was not possible because a relative of Mr. Beviso could only own the shoe store. At this point the protagonist, Philomena, came up with a plan to go to Italy for two months and while on their way back they would dispose of their passports in the sea. This allowed them to create new passports in which they wrote their surname as Beviso.…

    In novels as sensual as Pedro Páramo and Dom Casmurro, it is not surprising that the authors employ a variety of literary techniques and imagery. Amongst them, not as prominent as the sense of hearing but still salient, is the sense of touch. I will examine how narrators in Dom Casmurro and Pedro Páramo use the sense of touch to reveal their inner motivations and feelings about a situation or character.…

    Luigi Pirandello War

    Pirandello opens the story by introducing a husband and wife, both in deep mourning for their son that is to be sent to the front line. After the couple boarded the train, the husband felt that it was his duty to explain to his traveling companions that the poor old woman was to be pitied because the war was taking away her only son. This upset the couple because their son was assured that he would not be sent to the front line for at least six months and now all of a sudden he was commanded to report to the line in three days. The couple argues with the other passengers that their situation is as dire as it can get because this is their only son and there is no one left to console them if their son were to die. Until the woman met the man who gave his testimony, she mourned as though her life were ending along with her son’s departure. Although he was sent to the front line, “her grief had been greater in seeing that nobody -as she thought -could share her feelings.” After hearing the man’s statement concerning…

    In the opening lines, Shakespeare starts to sketch the characters and some of the atmosphere of the play. Antonio, for example, is presented as being sad and melancholic for which the reason is unknown. Although his friends (Solanio and Salarino) try to help him find the grounds of his sadness but they couldn’t do so, it was very strange to all of them. Despite its Sad opening, one should always remember that The Merchant of Venice is a romantic comedy and, like most of Shakespeare's romantic comedies, it has a group of dashing, if not very profound, young men. For example, Solanio and Salarino are not terribly important. Their lines are interchangeable, and they are not really distinguishable from one another. They represent an element of youthful fancy’s. Salarino begins, typically, with a thought in which Antonio's ships are described as being like "rich burghers on the flood" and like birds, flying "with their woven wings." He continues into a delightfully fantastic series of imaginings; intended to bring Antonio out of his depression.…

    After a while, Vingo confide in the girl, and starts telling what’s happened to him. He goes from being quiet and shy, to telling the girl his story. The fact that he has been in jail for the last four years says a lot about him and his situation. He probably didn’t have anybody to speak to about his situation when he was in jail, and he needs someone to tell his story to. This is probably the reason that he placed so much trust in the young stranger.…

    The dominating theme throughout this passage is the theme of beginning a new life, leaving the past behind. The narrator expresses this idea in line ten. “But it was Spain, and the new life beginning”. The fact that he intents to stay in Spain and wants to start a new life is also shown by his decision to buy a ticket without return (line 11). The “No return ticket” could also be a metaphor for his life journey, that England is not an option for him anymore, and that he cannot possibly ever return. In contrast to his idea to start a new life in Spain we have the fact that he only brought a knapsack, a blanket, spare shirt and a fiddle, which doesn’t seem very much considering the fact that he wants to start a new life in Spain. Maybe this is because he had very little in England and from the fact that he has to sleep in the open, we can tell, that he is probably short of money. The fact that he brought nothing with him can also be seen in connection with his young age. His actions make him appear naïve and innocent. Also the fact that the only Spanish he knows is how to ask for a glass of water (line 12-13) lets him appear even more naïve and we get the impression that he is rather lonely, due to the fact that he can’t speak to anyone. We can assume that the protagonist left…
