.... his life in search of happiness and the American dream. He is a husband, a father, a salesman, and a man desperate to find meaning in his life and pride in himself before it’s too late. He has worked for the same company for his entire career, dreaming of being "well-liked" and being ‘someone." For Willy, being well-liked equates with success. "Be popular and you will not want" is his interpretation of the American dream. The hero in "Fences," a "flawed giant" is a garbageman of fifty-six named Troy Maxson. Once a professional baseball player, he was unable to play in the major leagues because of his African-American roots. There is no aspect of his life in w .....

.... apart by their business competition. The characters of Kralik and Klara actually help explain the two other relationships because just as they are kept apart by competition in the workplace, they keep in touch through letters without knowing who the other one is. They hate each other, as do Joe and Kathleen, in person, but both couples evidently have a relationship where despite their feelings that the other is a bad person, they find each others good points online or by post. This is shown in The Shop Around the Corner in a quote from Klara, who says to Kralik, "Why, I could show you letters that would open your eyes. No, I guess you probably wouldn't .....

.... As time progressed George got worse. He woke up at night in pain, and eventually started to have fits of delusion. He hits on women in front of his own wife, and went through spells of yelling and rage during public appearances. As George's condition worsened his son began to plan a coup of his father's throne. The Prince began to build up supporters to help him get control of England, with promises of positions in the Parliament. Many doctors visited George, but none could cure his condition.

.... different, in a freakish and negative way. He points out how people are unwilling to make an attempt to know a person for who they are, because they are too quick to judge one on their external appearance and obvious differences. In the essay “Notes of a Native Son”, Baldwin shows how his father represents an extremely stubborn man, set in his ways, unwilling to change. “He could be chilling in the pulpit and indescribably cruel in his personal life and he was certainly the most bitter man I have ever met”(56). It’s obvious to me how Baldwin’s father was definitely a mean man, full of hatred and animosity towards everyone, especially whites. His blacknes .....

.... early 80s. Atwood has been very much a part of that movement, but she has never been a mere mouthpiece for any group, always insisting on her individual perspectives. The defeat of the Equal Rights Amendment, the rise of the religious right, the election of Ronald Reagan, and many sorts of backlash (mostly hugely misinformed) against the women's movement led writers like Atwood to fear that the antifeminist tide could not only prevent further gains for women, but turn back the clock. Dystopias are a kind of thought experiment which isolates certain social trends and exaggerates them to make clear their most negative qualities. They are rarely intended as reali .....
