.... fooled. Anything could have been written at the end of the letter and it is certain that Malvolio would, in his mind, alter it to make it refer to himself. It is easy to tell what Malvolio is feeling while he reads the fraudulent letter; some parts affect him in a greater, more obvious way than others. The phrase, "Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them;" has the greatest impact on Malvolio. When he reads this he begins to believe that it is plausible for a woman as great as Olivia to have taken a liking for a man of far lesser status, of whi .....

.... «beast», and the conflict between Jack’s band on the one hand and Ralph and Simon on the other. This theme is mostly revealed through symbolism. Ralph is the symbol of good, while Jack is the symbol of evil. This can be seen, for example, by the fact that Ralph is the one providing law and order, and he is constantly involved in several projects for welfare and safety, which he tries to carry through the best he can. Ralph and Simon, who are both good, build shelters and maintain the fire only to preserve a good situation and health for their fellow islanders. Jack is a symbol o .....

.... The chance for a sledding ride does not come until the night Mattie is supposed to leave. Their sorrow over Mattie’s departure changes their motives concerning sledding. They see a collision with the elm as a way to avoid parting. Mattie suggests, "Right into the big elm…So ‘t we’d never have to leave each other any more" (71). The irony is that sledding, an innocent pastime, becomes a tool the lovers use to try to escape their situation. Another ironic element of the sledding ride is the appearance of Zeena’s face, Ethan’s wife, during the scene. Ethan an .....

.... Carton did never cause any harm to anybody, but actually helped the people around him. Sydney Carton was physically identical to Charles Darnay. When Darnay was being prosecuted for treason against the English government, Carton allowed Mr. Stryver (the lawyer Carton worked for) to reveal him “Look well upon that gentleman, my learned friend there, and then look well upon the prisoner. How say you? Are they very like each other?” said Stryver (page 86). “My lord inquired of Mr. Stryver, whether they were next to try Mr. Carton for treason? But Mr. Stryver replied no” (Page 86). The c .....

.... feel isolated at the schools he has attended; he has this feeling when it comes to his family as well. Upon his return to New York City, Holden does not go home. Instead, he chooses to hide out from his family. According to Ernest Jones, "with his alienation go assorted hatreds – of movies, of night clubs, of social and intellectual pretension, and so on. And physical disgust: pimples, sex, an old man picking his nose are all equal cause for nausea" (Jones 7). Holden feels Previts 2 as though all of these people have failed him in some way or that they are all "phonies&quo .....

.... Temple, who was known for being a pretty white girl. Claudia then goes into a series of stories and descriptions of what type of environment Pecola must live in at her own home. She describes the abandoned store in which the Breedlove family lives in and the terrible condition of the furniture, which reflects the type of family the Breedloves are. Whether it was Claudia or another unknown third person narrator, a specific situation is described in a brutal manner of exactly what type of environment exists in Pecola’s home. The situation was where Cholly and Polly fight each o .....

.... cold chilly night. The poet is more cynical and formal when she is talking about the snowman. The phrase ‘an idle mind is a devil’s workshop’ is very applicable here since the thief has nothing to do, so to keep himself busy he breaks into people’s homes. He has a rather ruthless philosophy of life that ‘better of dead than giving in, not taking what you want’. He steals not for money but for the pleasure. He tries to be part of families by collecting photographs of them, this is evidence of his loneliness. Carol Ann Duffy has used an irony of the thief hu .....

.... listen to the Siren's songs. Since Odysseus didn't have any leftover beeswax for his ears, he had to resist the temptation of hearing the songs. Secondly, he tricked the Cyclops and got away in time before he was killed. Third, Odysseus sends just two of his men, instead of the whole group, to find out about the songs. If he sent them all, they may have got killed. Even though Odysseus is strong and intelligent, he also has enough self-confidence to get him through his journey. If he didn't believe in himself now, how would his men do the same. His men look up to Odysseus and learn fro .....

.... done, the guest becomes essentially a new man and goes off to live the rest of his life. Had the tale taken place at a funeral, the heavy feeling of ending would have destroyed the symbolism of new beginnings. Ending of life, of happiness, of everything. If this had happened, then the fact that he rose the next day would not have been as significant. Therefore, the wedding is a very important symbol throughout the poem. The albatross is another significant symbol throughout the poem. It first appears in the first section of the poem, and it is a symbol of good omen for the sailors. T .....
