In Act 3 of Kafka’s “The Metamorphosis”‚ Grette convincingly proposes to her parents that they need to get rid of the insect immediately for she can no longer tolerate the “endless torment at home”‚ and argues the insect itself is not Gregor because if it were‚ it would have voluntarily left long ago to spare the family from any more pain. “How can my so-called “family” argue over whether or not it’s me inside this insect’s body? The silence and sorrow they are looking at me with is hypocritical

A Change of Heart I’m hopeless. I’m completely and utterly hopeless. I have nothing to look forward to at a school. At least on the farm I had friends and a family. I had a life… largely consisting of stealing from tourists that visit the vineyard. I need to find a way to turn this car around. That’s it! I’ll tell dad that I don’t want to go. He’ll respect my decision. But if he gets mad… shoot‚ last time he pulled out the belt. No‚ I better think of a slightly less painful idea. I can make up an

Step by wicked step‚ my boots sank further and further into the thick‚ red-tinged land as if the devil himself were dragging my body straight into the depths of hell. The rhythmic squelching stabbed through my rubber soles‚ radiating pain throughout my soul as it seared everything in its path. Squelch‚ squelch‚ squish. My tempo was interrupted by those cursed boots refusing to budge from the stubborn terrain. As if taunting me‚ the earth unhooked my feet from the damned soil and I found myself catapulted

The indirect interior monologue we get next is essential. There is something seriously affecting Henry— his faith is being tested— and what he once found comforting is now not. He is worried and this worry is mentioned twice in one paragraph. Henry also admits his sadness. Now compare this segment to the exchange between him and his wife. He does not tell her of this sadness‚ his worry or his confusion. He clearly thinks about her own lack of faith‚ but does not ask her about that either. Instead

The similarities between Joyce’s Ulysses and Homer’s Odyssey are unmistakable even from Joyce’s choice of title as Ulysses is the Latin derivative of Odysseus the hero portrayed in Homer’s Odyssey. Adding to the comparisons between the two are the numerous characters portrayed throughout Joyce’s novel as they are a direct modernised parallel to those depicted in Homer’s poem. Joyce’s character Leopold Bloom is a mirror image to Homer’s Odysseus as is Odysseus’s son Telemachus interpreted through

Maestro - Internal Monologue Eduard Keller Intervention at page 71 Weeping like a baby‚ I walk away from the frustrating‚ sweet music that hides such devastating and infuriating emotions. Like a bright red rose that smells of redolent‚ aromatic fragrance satisfying the nose‚ yet with thorns that impair when tempted. How insulting! How could they play Wagner? Although I knew that the orchestra would of course play Wagner‚ it seems that every time‚ I hope for something better; to keep my mind

Interior Monologue This is really scary. I don’t even really understand how we got here. I don’t even know why we are here. It seems like we’re on an island‚ but I don’t think I’m going to have fun. I want to leave and go home because I’m scared. I’m with other boys my age‚ but we’re all so small‚ I don’t think we can do much. There must be older boys here too‚ but they probably won’t even care about us. We’re too young for them to care. They’ll probably let us get lost. I’m scared. All of a sudden

First came the pride‚ an overwhelming sense of achievement‚ an accomplishment due to great ambition‚ but slowly and enduringly surged a world of guilt and confusion‚ the conscience which I once thought diminished‚ began to grow‚ soon defeating the title and its rewards. Slowly the unforgotten memories from that merciless night overcame me and I succumbed to the incessant and horrific images‚ the bloody dagger‚ a lifeless corpse. I wash‚ I scrub‚ I tear at the flesh on my hands‚ trying desperately

Interior Monologue Dr. Spivey sits down at his desk and puts his glasses on. He shuffles his papers and begins to review the events of the previous weeks in his journal. Spivey then contemplates the letter requesting his resignation. These past weeks have been hard on everyone. As much as Mr. McMurphy has changed this ward for good‚ there are moments when I wish he had never been committed. Before McMurphy there had been an age of oppression.
