    A conflict in literature is any struggle between two opposing forces. The main conflict in the story was an external conflict which is a struggle between the main character and outside force. Madame Loisel lost the necklace, so she has to sacrifice her way of living to give back what she lost. Madame Loisel decides that she isn’t going to tell her friend that she lost her necklace because the pride that she has won’t let her. As a result of her dishonesty, she and her husband work off all of the money they borrowed to replace the necklace. Maupassant wrote, “Mme Loisel now knew the horrible life of necessity. She did her part, however, completely, heroically. It was necessary to pay this frightful debt. She would pay it. They sent away the maid; they changed their lodgings; they rented some rooms under a mansard roof” (164). Many parts of this story involved mostly internal conflict with the way that Madame Loisel thought of herself compared to everyone else and her discontent with the way that she is living. When her husband thought that her cooking was spectacular, she was ashamed of how boring her cooking was because she was unable to afford anything else. Monsieur Loisel thinks getting into a high-class party would be a wonderful thing; she only sees it as another chance to embarrass herself and show everyone what she doesn’t have. She is only happy with jewels when…

    Friendship is also central because so much of the play is about how leaders are nothing without the people that follow them. Cleopatra constantly leans on her servants for support and advice, and Antony is undone as his own men betray him. How we view ourselves is often gauged by how others view us, and their duty to us is a reflection of our own honor.…

    Girl with a Pearl Earring

    For hundreds of years people have wondered who is the girl in the portrait Girl with a Pearl Earring, painted by a Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer in the 17th century and what is the connection between them. This fictional love story by Chevalier explores the sensual relationship between the young lady and the painter. Griet, a seventeen year old girl, narrated the story of her life experiences in the 1600’s, as she transformed from a young girl into a married woman. The narrative structure will appeal to a young adult audience as they will be able to relate to many of Griet’s experiences, especially the encounters she had with men. She was hired as a maid by a rich and famous painter, to help her impoverished family. Vermeer allowed her the privilege of working as his assistant in the studio, which caused much turmoil with his wife. This tension between the characters reads like a modern day soap opera. Vermeer was a gentle and respectful master, and Griet became devoted to him. Her secret admiration of him became increasingly intimate and loving, but not sexual. Vermeer’s friend, Van Ruijven requested him to paint Griet. Van Ruijven had several unwanted sexual encounters with her. Griet had to deal with the nervous emotions of a young girl learning to cope with sexual predators. Meanwhile, Griet met the local butcher, Pieter, and a friendship developed between…

    “Everyman” is an English play, likely written before the end of the Fifteenth century. “Everyman” is considered one of the morality plays, with its Catholic and Christian morals ever present and mixing them within its entertainment value. The play is an example of an allegory, defined as, “The characters in an allegory often have no individual personality, but are embodiments of moral qualities and other abstractions.” (Allegory, 2010). The author, unknown, and lost to time, used powerfully named characters to represent characters any human may meet along their own personal journeys towards our own death.…
