.... make intelligent decisions. By saying this he hopes to convince the jury that it would not be within justice to put him to death. Mentioning the attorney, Kenny points out, "To execute someone so simple, he concluded, would be like putting a hog in the electric chair" (683). Directed the jury, Jefferson's attorney states, "What you see here is a thing that acts on command... Why, I would just as soon put a hog in the electric chair as this" (Gaines 7-8). At one point in the novel, Jefferson smashes his face into his food and begins eating it as if he were a hog. He does this, because of the attorney's rash, insensitive and cruel remarks. This event mar .....

.... elaborating upon the light-hearted and carefree elements, as opposed to the dark and immoral components of the setting in which the novel takes place. For example, imagery can be used in a likable manner to achieve the desired affect of making the reader enjoy and love the setting so that the theme may be elevated. In Edith Wharton’s , Wharton first presents Starkfield as a cheery uplifting town saying, ‘The winter morning was clear as a crystal. The sunrise burned red in a pure sky, the shadows on the rim of the wood-lot were darkly blue, and beyond the white scintillating fields of far-off forest hung like smoke.’(pg.41) It also seems that whenever Matt .....

.... ponderous than my tongue."(I,i, ln 76-78). It is obvious that she loves her father, but she can't express it the way in which Lear wants her to. Because of this, she is disowned and sent away to France. The King even refers to her as, "Unfriended, new adopted to our hate, dow'red with our curse, and strangered with our oath."(I,i, ln 203-204). Cordelia's love for her father was shown further when she received the letters concerning Lear's mental state after being mistreated by his two other daughters. It was said that, "now and then an ample tear trilled down her delicate cheek."(IV,iii, ln 12-13). Cordelia then orders for some of the French soldiers to bri .....

.... weary from hunger. Hunger brings out her animal instincts, because she needs to stay strong to live. “On the fourth and fifth days, my eyesight sharp with hunger, I saw deer and used their trails when our ways coincided. Where deer nibbled, I gathered the fungus, the fungus of immortality” (25). The narrator is forced to search for her food to eat. The hungrier she becomes, the more feral she is. Meat also played a role in the connection between food and strength. During the beginning of her story she claimed she no longer needed meat. After she became starving, she breaks down and eats meat. “…I saw the rabbit had sacrific .....

.... the day.” The speaker is trying to convince the woman that it is much better to have sex now than to save her virginity for the future. The man wants to experience the pleasure now, while the woman would rather save herself until they are married. Marvell’s message here seems to be that we shouldn’t be worrying so much about exactly when and where to do things, but just to take things as they come and enjoy them. This theme relates to all aspects of life, not just sex. The rhyme scheme follows a standard AA, BB, CC, etc., couplet pattern. A few of the lines are irregular however. Lines 23 and 24 rhyme “lie” with “eternity,” and lines 27 and 28 rhym .....

.... If Macbeth is acting on the impulses stimulated by the prophecies of his fate, is this Shakespearean work of art really a Tragedy? Aristotle, one of the greatest men in the history of human thought, interpreted Tragedy as a genre aimed to present a heightened and harmonious imitation of nature, and, in particular, those aspects of nature that touch most closely upon human life. This I think Macbeth attains. However, Aristotle adds a few conditions. According to Aristotle, a tragedy must have six parts: plot, character, diction, thought, spectacle, and song. Most important is the plot, the structure of the incidents. Tragedy is not an imitation of men, but .....

.... names that she plans on getting revenge on. Madame Defarge is a commoner and she doesn't like the aristocrats. In seeking vengeance, Madame Defarge has acquired the very traits of those who wronged her. She sees no focused blame and is willing to exploit an entire class to satisfy her need. Her vengeance emerges through her knitting, which represents both her cold patience and her impassioned urge to retaliate, as she knits the names of her intended victims. A large cask of wine had been dropped and broken in the street. Some men kneeled down, made scoops with their two hands joined, and sipped. Others, men and women, dipped in the puddles wit .....

.... is so closed with her feelings. Early in the novel Great Expectations Estella did not hold in her feeling towards Pip at all. She was very impolite in saying that Pip was just a little common boy not worthy of her. (a spoiled little brat) But she must have had some sort of a feeling for Pip because she let him kiss her after Pip’s fight with Herbert. Her feelings for Pip were put off for awhile and she later on went for Drummle. She was beaten and abused in every way possible.
