.... has the power to talk. The conch shows how people use objects to give power, like a crown, sceptre, or other thins that show who has power. We also learn that objects don't really give power when people choose not to obey it, like Ralph's conch. The pig's head, or Lord of the Flies, is an important object. To Jack it is a sacrifice for the beast. This object shows that people will make religions and rituals to control their world, even when what they think is not true. The Lord of the Flies is also a symbol of Satan, or the Devil. When Simon talked with the Lord of the Flies, he learned what the real evil was, which is the evil in people's hearts. The Lord o .....

.... of the apparitions as absolute fact instead of considering and acting rationally upon them. These poor displays of judgement by Macbeth and Duncan allow them to be taken advantage of at various times in the play.

.... (92). This description of Phoebe, using light imagery, expresses that she is an innocent woman with an inner spirit to help break the Pyncheon’s curse. Clark Giffith records in Hawthorne’s Imagery: The “Proper Light and Shadow” in the Major Romances that “Phoebe is rather too obviously a little ray of sunshine...” (37). When Phoebe enters the house “from the sunny daylight,” and is almost blinded by the “density of shadows” lurking in the passages of the old house, the contrast between Phoebe’s lighted presence against the dark gloomy house can be seen. The old Pyncheon-elm, which stands ove .....
