.... and connect the dead with the living. The only rope that appears literally is the leash around Lucky's neck that Pozzo holds. In terms of the rope, the relationship between these characters is one of consistent domination. The stage directions say that "Pozzo drives Lucky by means of a rope passed round his neck." [15] Lucky is whipped often, and he is essentially the horse pulling Pozzo's carriage in a relationship that seems cruel and domineering. Yet Lucky is strangely compliant. In explaining Lucky's behavior, Pozzo says, "Why he doesn't make himself comfortable? Let's try and get this clear. Has he not the right to? Certainly he has. It foll .....

.... her husband's neck are part of the story of the Three Sisters who control the fate of men. Mrs. Hale's behavior is similar to Clotho the Spinner, the sister who spins the thread of life. Mrs. Hale subtly suggests that Mrs. Wright is not the sole agent in the death of Mr. Wright (Meak86). Mrs. Hale's reference to that event, "when they was slipping the rope under his neck," (Glaspell568) showing a plural pronoun and a singular verb suggests the involvement of more than one in a single outcome, and it suggests that the three women will be in conspiracy in the case controlling the outcome or the fate of all characters(Meak88). The information about the liv .....

.... different meals at once.... I should jump up and down twenty different times? What am I, a workhorse?" (Roth 4) The reactions in Brenda's house differ because they have a maid and Brenda's Mom doesn't have to pick up a finger. Neal and Brenda's families are obviously placed in different social brackets and this adds to the conflict that the relationship is not equal. From the readers point of view, the tie that Neil feels toward Brenda is one of physical attraction. "She dove beautifully and a moment later she was swimming back to the side of the pool, her head of shortclipped auburn hair held up, straight ahead of her, as though it were a rose on a long ste .....

.... of horror to stories of love. Poe incorporated many of the Romantic ideals into his writings, utilizing many qualities that were never seen before. His works focus on four main motifs, Love, Beauty, Death, and Pride. These themes, when incorporated into one entire work, made up Romanticism, the thread Poe wove through every story. One of the characteristics of romanticism is the admiration of beauty. Beauty was revered by Poe, he worshipped it in all its' manifests. Poe used beauty in almost all of his poems, often to describe a woman. In Annabelle Lee, To Helen, and Ligeia, Poe uses eloquent words to describe the objects of his affection. The bea .....

.... poem as "an allegory about the woman artist's struggle for autonomy. The female creature of a male artist-god is asserting independent creative powers" (33). Plath confronts Herr Doktor: Herr God, Herr Lucifer Beware Beware. Out of the ash I rise with my red hair And I eat men like air. (Plath 246-247) Lady Lazarus after her psychic death became stronger than her creator: " Male- female antagonism ends with the woman defiantly asserting power over her body and releasing its energies for her own ends" (Bundtzen 233). While the outcome of the poem is positive, "Plath turns on herself, identifying with her oppressor, and sadistically punishes her body in t .....

.... Egeus’ daughter and she is a tiny woman with a dark completion. She is often mocked for this like when Helena and her were quarreling in the woods Hermia says this in regards to height – "Now I perceive that she hath made compare between our statures: she hath urged her height, And with her personage, her tall personage, Her height, forsooth, she hath prevailed with him." (Act III Scene 2 Line 292). So obviously she is aware of her lack in height and it seems to cause her a bit of pain. Though Helena is taller than Hermia even she admits that Hermia has "sparkling eyes and a lovely voice". Hermia is very set in what she wants from th .....

.... that in the Great War. paul disassociates himself from his parents, old school firends, and even religions because they remind him of his pre-enlistmentdays, when he was one of the innocents who iddn't realize what the Great War was. His only friends seem to be his military comrades for they are the only ones who uynderstan what he is going through or has gone through by the end of service. Paul resents the effort that everybody seemed to be going through in order for him to enlist. Teachers and parents especially wanted him to enlist. Paul even says, "at one time even on's parets were ready with the word 'coward'" When Paul finally gets home, he seems ov .....

.... things are able to persuade and convince people to act out against the norm. The enchanting wonder of nature has the ability to control the thoughts and feelings of a person; causing them to lose touch with all that is real to that person. The daily, conscious decisions to continue life are almost diminished by the "lovely, dark, and deep" woods. The stunning woods represent the peace that is longed for by this man. However, man and nature are two separate things, and their worlds cannot be intertwined. The choice between the two is a difficult one, but the everlasting peace that nature presents is often turned to. This imagery of nature is used to p .....
