.... self-discovery of characters provides insight to how the actions of women are changed by society. In "A Doll's House," Nora must discover who she is, her personality and character, in order to leave Torvald at the conclusion of the play. She must gain a sense of control of her life to overcome the pressures of society. "As I am now, I am no wife for you" (Ibsen 67) Nora states in a realization of her need for discovery. The time of the play was between 1870- 1880, a time when a separate identity in women was not a welcomed event. Ibsen uses this controversy to bring about a type of revolution, or at least a suggestion for it, in a biased time. He uses his c .....

.... no one wants that on their plate. Just as in the case of Frankenstein and the monster, a mistake was made and the inventor had to acknowledge that, and correct what he had done. The only problem was that he didn't. Victor Frankenstein used science to help him build a "monster", but when his experiment failed, he wouldn't take responsibility for his creation. Science is about understanding nature. It incorporates all things around us and attempts to look at every hair, muscle and movement of an object to find out everything about it. Science is also about adding on to what already exists; this was a problem. When Dr. Frankenstein decided to introduce a new bei .....

.... for them, he transforms into a huge cockroach. He is rejected by his family, and he is not cared for properly which results in his death. Following Gregors death is a gleeful ending, which eventually implies that the cycle will be repeated, though this time through his sister. It is apparent even in the first sentence "As Gregor awoke one morning from uneasy dreams, he found himself transformed into a gigantic insect" (P862, Ph1) that Kafka meant something underneath the surface. Awakening from uneasy dreams could mean awakening from an uneasy, labored life by quitting it all. His transformation could mean how society can compare him to a cockroach .....

.... that they become just as power hungry and corrupt as their human master. The theme in the novel being that in every society there are leaders who will, if given the chance, likely abuse their position. Old Major is a prize white boar who helps point out to the animals that no animal in England is free. He continues to tell the animals that the their labor is stolen by man, who benefits alone. The animals in return get near nothing, just enough to keep them away from starvation. Old Major gave many speeches to the farm animals about hope and the future. He is the main animal who got the rebellion started even though he died before it actually began. Old M .....

.... purpose. She begins by describing how the male elite started running things right from the onset of Muhammad's death. When a successor to Muhammad was picked, it did not involve the people of the community at all or any women. It was done by a small group of followers which were very close to the prophet, a sort of elite group. This sort of leadership in Islam continued in the same manner as only the elite were involved. This helped preserve what they thought was essential and according to the interests of the participants the essentials varied. The fabrication of false hadiths by the male elite was probably the first and most popular way for them to pro .....

.... In the beginning, Blake gives us a hostile environment. The setting is that Dunbar, a drunk army officer, is assigned to a remote trading post near a tribe of Sioux Indians, his sworn enemies. Communications between them are limited, and the Indian tribe describes white men as “dumb and useless.” The feeling is mutual, too. White men then considered Indians as barbaric, uncivilized, and also useless. These two groups of people acted extremely hostile towards each other. But that is sure to change. Dunbar only goes out because he wants to see the frontier, or land that hasn’t been settled. This just so happens to be Indian land. As the story .....

.... us of forgiveness. With physical suffering, the power of nature shows us forgiveness many ways. In the story, the mariner betrays nature: "I shot the Albatross!" This action against nature is rather extreme, for he takes lightly to this thought of death. The Albatross, as a representative of nature, means nothing to the Mariner. These thoughts are quickly changed, though, as Nature begins to start the penance leading towards forgiveness - "Water, water, everywhere nor any drop to drink." When "the mariner begins to find his salvation when he begins to look on the 'slimy things' as creatures of strange beauty" (Fraser 203), he understands the Albatro .....
