.... childhood behavior. I am not familiar with the punishment the Japanese parents carry out to their children. But I would guess if the father of that young child were alive, that the punishment would be harsher than locking him in the room. The young boy notices a peephole, and invades his mother's privacy. But he seems to be doing this only when she punishes him. The young boy loved the sea, and would spend as much time going to the port to see the ships arrive and depart. He would invite his mother to go along with him. That is how his mother met the sailor, and they fell in love. MAIN PURPOSE: The young boy is happy and begin his friendship with .....

.... enraged. To make the situation much worse, Iago says to Brabantio, “An old black ram is tupping your white ewe.” (Act 1,sc.i, lines 89-90). Clearly, Iago shows absolutely no remorse. He describes the beauty of love between two human beings and compares it to two animals. He gives Brabantio the impression that Othello is devouring Desdemona; this is seen when Iago describes Othello as an old black ram and Desdemona as a white ewe, black being evil and white being of purity and innocence. Another example of Iago’s vulgarity is when he once again describes (to Brabantio), the relationship between Desdemona and Othello as, “Maki .....

.... respectable Earnshaw family. After a his trip to Liverpool, old Mr. Earnshaw returns home to Wuthering Heights with “a dirty, ragged, black-haired child” named Heathcliff.

.... and rich people in his town as well. His beauty charmed the world. Basil was inspired to draw his portrait in order to preserve his beauty and youth. Dorian recognised that as long as he remained young he would be handsome. He dreaded the day that he would age slightly and start to form wrinkles and such ugly (in Dorian's opinion) ugly things. He believed that that day would deprive him of triumphs that would result in him being miserable. The degree of evil within Dorian increases as the plot develops. By trading his soul for his youth, Dorian rids of the good inside of himself. The plot proves to us that evil does actually lie within .....

.... and private, as was the life of Tess at the Herons. The unassuming villa held inside unknown beauty and also unknown pain, as Tess did. The Herons became a mocking island from which Tess could not escape, as she could not escape Alec either. She was trapped there in an awful environment with no way out. Tess did eventually find a way out of the Herons and out of Alec. She finally finished him off by stabbing him in the heart, symbolically breaking his heart as he had done to her years ago. Once he was dead, Tess was free of her sin and could finally have the love of Angel unhindered by her past. She had killed her past in the house which was slowly killing he .....

.... book. Hawthorne uses the setting to develop the theme of sin, isolation and reunion. One the main places in the setting that he uses this process is the scaffold. The scaffold is used in the novel for a place to show sin in the beginning of the story when Hester is displayed on it. Also during this scene it was used to isolate her from the rest of the community. Then later in the story it is used again when Arthur stands up on the platform of the scaffold giving false penance, which drives him further into isolation. Then at the end of the story it is used again to reunite Arthur with himself, the community and God before dies. It is also used in this .....

.... European women of the time period, although noone would argue the point since Oriental women were viewed as being more oppressed. Strong contrasts can also be made in relation to the differences between Safie's development as a foreign character and her subjectivity as a female character in relation to those of the other female characters of the book. While the other female characters lack depth into how their religion and culture affect them, Safie's religion and Arabian culture sculpt her into a subject with feminist qualities juxtaposed against her fulfillment of European domestic ideology. Many theorists, such as Benveniste who said, "Consciousness of se .....
