.... but against better judgement, he did so anyway. Because of the pressure "to impress" the natives of Burma, he felt it was expected ofhim to shoot at the animal. Ironically enough, even though Orwell was the main character in his story he was converted into a pawn torn from his better judgement as a result of those yellow faces. He observed in that instant that when the white male becomes savage in his thought he produces self destruction. In this exact piece it gives an additional motive as to why Orwell's better judgement was defeated, which was "to avoind looking a fool." If someth .....

.... people in the play are those who have followed it to the letter. In the end the play does not make a final judgment on America simply because Willy Loman cannot be viewed as tragic hero.

Willy can only blame himself for not succeeding. Miller departed from the accepted norm for a tragedy by making his flawed hero a simple salesman. Some find it hard to raise Willy Loman to the level .....

When he killed Arthur he was horrified, and when the police found him he didn’t deny what he had done, but confessed. Abasalom was corrupted by Johannesburg and by his “friends”, and was a victim of circumstance. Allan Paton presents Johannesburg as a nest of corruption in the book. As a matter of fact all the other corruption mentioned in the story is stemming from Johannesburg: John, Gertrude, Abasalom, c .....

Grendel seemingly believed that pure carnage and destruction was his only way for communicating. Herot and its people expressed their thoughts, feelings, and personalities through music, laughter, and dance. However, Grendel, whom's hatred had known no other, had to express his thoughts in .....
