.... Deliverance and Ellison's Invisible Man through their use of setting, force their protagonists to come to a realization of self-awareness. In Deliverance, Dickey illustrates how man, removed from "civilized" society, reverts back to his primitive instinct. Man, in this primitive state, becomes the most dangerous creature that roams the earth. His ability to reason becomes utilized only on the aspects of survival; laws cease to exist and man justifies and acts out any action that ensures his survival. He shows that it is not nature one should fear but rather man, nature is a neutral force that only provides context for man to behave a certain way. To .....

.... god for a lover,”(193) as could Tyro and many other women. Epikaste was called “that prize”(195) her own son unwittingly married. Some women are known for the deeds of their sons, but never for a heroic deed of their own, their personalities, who they are, and what they do independent of males. It seems the only accomplishment women could achieve was being beautiful. Theseus “had no joy of”(195) the princess Ariadne because she died before this was possible. Homer makes it sound as if Ariadne’s life was useless because she did not give Theseus pleasure.
