.... became to acquire money from a benefactor and ends up living his life happily. Miss Havisham is a lady who had to have luxury and riches to make her happy. Herbert, Pip, and Miss Havisham are related to this statement, "wealth is no substitute for happiness." In this novel, Herbert is portrayed to us as being rather plain and simple. When we first are introduced to Mr. Herbert Pocket in Chapter 16, he is rather down to earth. His living quarters don't consist of anything expensive and luxurious. For example, (pg. 732) Herbert says "this is my little bedroom, rather musty, …the furniture is hired for the occasion." He is just a man managing to get along an .....

.... Laurence marries Romeo and Juliet even though he forebodes that this hasty marriage may lead to a catastrophic outcome. When Romeo informs Friar Laurence about his marriage to Juliet, the Friar hesitates because their love emerges too sudden and too unadvised that it may end just as quick: These violent delights have violent ends And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, Which, as they kiss, consume (II, VI, l. 9-11). The Friar, in particular, questions Romeo’s temperament towards love. The love of Romeo to Rosaline shows that Romeo is fickle, superficial and immature towards love: Is Rosaline, that thou didst love so dear, So soon forsaken .....

.... away and "wither’d" nature. Lady Macbeth’s vulnerability increases as time passes, and her enthusiasm wanes. Lady Macbeth is mainly responsible for aggravating the struggle between Macbeth’s morality, devotion and "vaulting ambition." This duality in Lady Macbeth’s character plays a huge role in planting the seed for Macbeth’s downfall and eventual demise. Lady Macbeth imagines that she has the capability to be a remorseless and determined villain, but she isn’t anything of the like in reality. She thinks that her will to follow through with her thoughts outweighs Macbeth’s determination. Lady Macbeth views her husband as "too full o’ the milk of huma .....

.... Lastly they call him King hereafter, which he realizes is his fate. Macbeth sees this fate in his eyes to be very unlikely and almost impossible because of the current circumstances. His reaction to the witches is “stands not within the prospect of belief”( Act 1 scene 3, line 74), which tells the reader that the witches’ prophecies are a far reach from reality. Macbeth begins to think if he ever had the chance to become king that it would be a great honor that he would accept, “If chance will have me King, why, chance may crown me”.(Act 1 scene 3, line 143) The prophecy of Banquo’s son having power in the future effect .....

.... they mailed her a tax notice. Febuary came and there was no reply. They wrote her a formal letter asking her to call at the sheriff's office at her convenience. A week later the mayor wrote her himself, offering to call or to send his car for her, and received in reply a note on paper of an archaic shape, in a thin flowing calligraphy in faded ink , to the effect that she no longer went out at all. The tax notice was also enclosed, without comment," (40-41). Miss Emily was convinced that she had no taxes in Jefferson because before the Civil War the South didn't have to pay. This change occurred when the North took over the South. "After her father's de .....

.... career. Hemingway’s bold, daring, personality and determination landed him a job as a Second Lieutenant ambulance driver of the American Red Cross during World War I. Hemingway arrived in Milan April of 1918. On his first day, he and his fellow drivers were rudely awaken to the total devastation of the war when they had to remove the parts of dead or severely injured victims of a munition factory explosion. This, as well as later experiences in Fossalta, Italy, makes for a very believable novel. Frederick Henry was, like Hemingway, an American lieutenant who drove ambulances in Italy during World War I. He was badly injured by a mortar shell explosion .....

.... word oxymoron comes from the Greek meaning "pointedly foolish." Pointedly foolish certainly applies to the mechanicals, whose ignorance provides the root of all their comedy in the play. For example, Quince refers to the play of Pyramus and Thisbe as "the most lamentable comedy." (Iii 9) This does not make much sense, since we would hardly express sorrow over a comedy. However, as it turns out, the pathetic production they eventually put on is so bad it actually is lamentable. When Bottom says: "I'll speak in a monstrous little voice," (Iii 43) he surely does not mean a voice which is both monstrous and little, for something cannot be both monstrous and little. .....

.... Sevier Barbershop" was a guillotine indeed, and the hangman was the first barber." The contrast between Marjorie's delicate appearance and her vicious nature was described in similes. Marjorie, braiding her hair, "looked like a delicate painting of some Saxon princess." Her braids "moving under the supple fingers like restive snakes" suggest her treachery. Fitzgerald also uses foreshadowing when Marjorie called Bernice's bluff about wanting to leave. Later Marjorie called her bluff about bobbing her hair. As Bernice's hair was being cut, "there was a curious narrowing of her eyes" that foreshadowed her expression when she got the idea to bob Marjorie's .....
