George and Lennie are two incongruent characters, where one is small, alert, and clever; the other huge, and powerful, however, bears the mind of a child. They compliment eachother in many ways, but deep within they have an inseparable relationship. "Sometimes you just get used to a guy." The two have grown together, and they live a part of eachother. George, being the leader of the two, has the responsibility of caring for Lennie, who is much like a child in his ways, however, far more dangerous than his inner character reflects. George has to keep a watchful eye over Lennie, for without .....

.... the end of the novel as well, for when the weather becomes nice it is not only symbolic of the changing times, and the changing people, but also a new beginning. During his stay at Thrushcross Grange Mr. Lockwood made the perilous journey to Wuthering Heights only a few times. On the occasion of his second visit, "the snow began to drive thickly"(7) during his walk, and this horrible weather should have been foreshadowing to Lockwood about Heathcliff's, and the other member's of the household's true personalities. Upon arriving he was forced to bang continually upon the door before someone would take the care to let him in out of the cold. The dinner that .....

.... changed when greed and jealously gave way to murder. Knowing that Duncan was soon to pay a visit to Macbeth's castle, Macbeth, momentarily entertains the idea of killing the king, but trembles at such sinful thoughts. Frightened, he says, "Present fears" (Shakespeare 136) "Are less than horrible imaginings" (Shakespeare 137). Lady Macbeth falls in with Macbeth's plot with greater energy than Macbeth himself. She vows adamantly that, "He that's coming / Must be provided for" (Shakespeare 62-63), implying that Duncan must be killed. Driven by fear of suspicion by day, and terrible dreams by night, Macbeth becomes completely paranoid with everyone, including B .....

.... main character in this novel as Candide. He is a character to whom everything happens without any active participation on his part. His naïve optimism lays him open to every imaginable disaster such as this incident, shown in chapter two: “With proper legal procedure he was asked which he would prefer, to be beaten thirty-six times by the whole regiment, or to receive twelve bullets in his brain.” That is just one of the many predicaments in which our main character becomes involved in. Another such incident occurs in chapter fifteen when Candide is faced with his true love’s brother. In this scene the brother is outraged that Candide has expres .....

A quick analysis of the main character, Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov, leads to the parallel of Rodion and . ’s “life was as dark and dramatic as the great novels he wrote.” Born in Moscow in 1821, he was the son of a former army surgeon who was killed by his own serfs because of his alcoholism and the brutality that followed his drinking fits.

.... by William Golding, one can see how children react to certain situations. Children, when given the opportunity, would choose to play and have fun rather than to do boring, hard work. Also, when children have no other adults to look up to they turn to other children for leadership. Finally, children stray towards savagery when they are without adult authority. In Lord of The Flies, Golding succeeds in effectively representing the interests and attitudes of young children in this novel. When children are given the opportunity, they would rather envelop themselves in pleasure and play than in the stresses of work. The boys show enmity towards building the she .....

.... up woman. I was so well brought up I never felt comfortable calling my husband by his first name" (Mukherjee 537).

Only this time the statement is ironic. Shaila's actions show us that she is far from the voiceless, week female s .....
