.... Barton Cottage. Elinor tries to hide her longing for Edward , while Marianne is swept off her feet in a passionate love affair with Willoughby. Even in their society obsessed with financial and social status, in the end everything works out for Edward and Elinor and for Willoughby and Marianne. Significance of Title: The title of the book was originally Elinor and Marianne but was later revised to become Sense and Sensibility. I believe that the title is significant to the book because it describes what the book is really about. Sense and Sensibility is about how Elinor, practical and conventional, must learn to show her sensible side more often, and .....

.... it. In Katherina's case though, nobody ever takes the time to listen to what she actually feels. When she says, "A pretty pet! It is best put finger in the eye, an she knew why." (Pg. 16), she is not acting maliciously but rather calling out for attention. In contrast to all the flattery that Bianca receives, the only time people ever talk about Katherina is when she acts like a shrew. A more vulnerable side to Katherina actually surfaces when she arrives at Petruchio's house. As Petruchio taunts her with food, she exclaims, "I pray you husband, be not so disquiet: The meat was well, if you were so contented." (Pg. 70) Disposing of the invincibility she .....

.... Roderigo is in love with Desdemona and figures that he would do anything to have her as his own. Iago says about Roderigo, "Thus do I ever make my fool my purse." [Act I, Scene III, Line 355] By playing on his hopes, Iago is able to swindle money and jewels from Roderigo, making himself a substantial profit, while using Roderigo to forward his other goals. He also thinks quick on his feet and is able to improvise whenever something unexpected occurs.

.... and payment might have been mine! Only I have left to say, more is thy due than more than all can pay. (p.34)² The last sentence of his quote said that he deserved more than everyone could have given him. Duncan¹s thankfulness resulted in raising the title of Macbeth from Thane of Glamis to that of Cawdor. Only one title then separated him from being next in line to the throne, the Prince of Cumberland. Macbeth could not help but notice how close he was to being king and hinted his ambition to have the title in his letter to Lady Macbeth. He wrote, ³...came missives from the King, who all-hailed me Thane of Cawdor, by which title, before, these weyard s .....

.... and he’s the god of the sea. Zeus is not only her youngest brother, but her husband too. He’s the god of the sky, and the ruler of the Olympian gods. Zeus was often pictured as the god of justice and mercy, the protector of the weak, and the punisher of the wicked. When was born she, like her other brothers and sisters, was swallowed by Cronus.

.... way Fitzgerald treats his so-called heroes, and to what extent we can call them heroic. Gatsby and Diver are both presented as wealthy men leading privileged lives. ‘The Great Gatsby’ was written before the Depression, and the optimism and faith in the power of money within the novel demonstrates this belief that people had. Notably, it is the characters’ faith in riches, and not Fitzgerald’s own. Gatsby is a self-made millionaire, making his money through bootlegging. He has acquired vast amounts of money, and believes that this money will help persuade Daisy to love him and leave Tom. This is illustrated in Chapter five when Daisy is shown around Gatsby’s m .....

.... the Greek world of thought was so far-ranging that there is scarcely an idea discussed today that was not debated by the ancient writers. The only body of literature of comparable influence is the Bible. The language in which the ancient authors wrote was Greek. Like English, Greek is an Indo-European language; but it is far older. Its history can be followed from the 14th century BC to the present. Its literature, therefore, covers a longer period of time than that of any other Indo-European language . Scholars have determined that the Greek alphabet was derived from the Phoenician alphabet. During the period from the 8th to the 5th century BC, local dif .....

.... the whole group falls apart. Both Piggy and Ralph’s personalities had a large amount of contrasts that determined their relationship at the beginning of the story.

Piggy had no friends, besides those that he lived with. Thus was not used to being among other children. He quickly trusted, and latched onto Ralph, ignoring Ralph’s constant teasing . Ralph was insecure as all boys his age are, he didn’t really want to be caught liking the outcast so he te .....
