.... This is how naturalism plays its part in this novel because the surroundings of a character decide he or she’s life. Since Starkfield “...lay under a sheet of snow perpetually renewed from the pale skies...” (pg.7). Ethan’s life was already going to be trapped, helpless, and doomed. He should have already known this because “all the dwellers in Starkfield, as in more notable communities, had had troubles enough of their own to make them comparatively indifferent to those of their neighbors...” (pg.11). Naturalism even played a huge part of Ethan’s life since he was young. First “his father got a kick, out haying, and went soft in the brain, and gave a .....

.... the character that Shakespeare chooses to bring out the humor in anything. He becomes a very diverse character in this sense considering he can make a joke out of dead people and even people he kills. Rather a charming person in the face of unpleasant events. To be able to understand humor, we must accept that we cannot understand all of it. Why something is funny is only determined by the reader and him or herself alone.

Hamlet often finds humorous occasions especially after he has done something that affects another character. He takes the “insid .....

.... directs at Nora extinguishes when he opens another letter from Krogstad with the note in it, saying that the note did not have to be paid back. Even so, Nora decides to leave Torvald, saying that he "never understood [her]" and that he "never loved [her]." That, in my opinion was the truth. Nora Helmer was a delicate character.

She didn't even have to care for the children; the maid would usually take care of that. In every sense of the word, she was your typical housewife. She never left the house, mostly because her husband was afraid of the way .....

.... most likely symbolizes her father, who was a minister. However, Bronte’s book is not only a breakthrough to literature in these ways. The narration of the story is also very unique and divergent because there are multiple narrators. Bronte’s character Lockwood is used to narrate the introductory and concluding sections of the novel whereas Nelly Dean narrates most of the storyline. It’s interesting that Nelly Dean is used because of her biased opinions. In addition, the structure of Wuthering Heights displays a uniqueness. Just as Elizabethan plays have five acts, Wuthering Heights is composed of two “acts,” the times .....

.... role in the family. The may be because generally both adults bring resources and money to the family. In Okonkwo’s village, only the men harvested the important crop, yams. This may have caused the men to develop their superiority over females. The main role of women in the novel was to serve their husband. Women cooked for their husband, and did many other chores to comfort him. They also assisted in repairing the huts. The women never received important jobs such as tapping the palm tree for palm wine or harvesting yams. The women were also there to produce children. A good wife could produce many children. In today’s society some wom .....
