.... contributes to the novel the knowledge of the full extent of Lennie's honesty. The reader is shown that Lennie doesn't want to hurt Curley even when Curley is hurting him, and feels remorse when he is forced to go against his nature and inflict harm upon Curley. When Lennie kills Curley's wife, it becomes apparent that Lennie's honesty is too stubbornly childlike for the good of himself or anyone else. "Lennie was in a panic. . . . And then he whispered in fright, 'I done a bad thing. I done another bad thing,'"(99). This scene makes the reader aware that Lennie is too honest to fit easily into society and not smart enough to understand how or why he must .....

.... are represented. One way the town expressed itself was through the way its inhabits dressed. The clothing that the people of Salem wore seemed very conservative and down to earth. There were no bright colors, but rather dark reds and browns which matched with the altogether oddities of Salem in Autumn. John and Elizabeth Proctor’s clothes generally were designed to be rugged for the man and yet comfortable to the woman. Most of Salem’s women, like Abigail Williams, were dressed as ladies should have been during those times; her accouterments were designed so they would reveal nothing to those who may have been curious. Among the unique .....

.... open his mind to Animal Farm. He once said, "…the failure of this book…arises from the fact that the satire deals not with something the author has experienced, but rather with stereotyped ideas about a country." Orwell's use of "satire in the form of a 'fairy story'…to get his point across shows his indignation for hard-core ideological doctrines whose purposes are to lead to the eventful destruction of a society" (Unger). The characters in Animal Farm are compared to the individuals and groups engaged in the Russian Revolution. "But the seeds for Animal Farm are present in earlier works, not only in the metaphors likening men to beas .....

.... There is a huge contrast between the way love is treated in Utopia, and Brave New World & 1984. In both Brave New World and 1984, the governments have replaced love and loyalty, with suspicion and hatred, while in Utopia it is treasured. In the novel 1984, many examples are provided as to how the Inner Party manages to manipulate the public into scorning emotions, love and loyalty. Suspicion and hatred are the main two feelings that replace love and loyalty, in the society of 1984. ˇ§The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, a look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourselfˇ¨ (Orwell, 65). This example shows the unfortunate replacement of loyalt .....

.... by the political and religious arenas around him, one can clearly see that Shakespeare chose subjects that would touch the heart, while not bruising a person’s pride. The Taming of the Shrew had four main subjects: 1) marriage, 2) money, 3) class distinctions, and 4) love. While marriage and courtship were the main focal points of this play, the other three subjects were made very obvious. Shakespeare chose these elements for his play not solely because they were basic, he chose them because they grasped people’s lives in his day. While these subjects reached the heart, the thought of change was brought forth from these subjects. The chang .....
