During the Romantic period exaggeration of things such as love was common, and was, in fact, the basis of the Romantic culture. In ‘Arms and the Man’ there an even greater extent of exaggeration than was common. The characters, the situations and to some extent the plot are all exaggerated in some way. Of the main characters, Sergius, Raina, and Bluntschli, only Bluntschli is not of a highly romantic bearing, and even he might be considered slightly exaggerated in the opposite way. Sergius is described by Shaw as “a tall, romantically handsome man, with the physical hardihood, the hig ...

... traits. Johnny Tremain's personality was very fascinating, and it was most intriguing to read about how he changed from a bossy, impatient boy, into a thoughtful, patient gentleman.

But after his terrible tragedy, his rude character died in the birth and death room, and Johnny was reborn as a more patient and caring person. He still won't take pity from anyone, but on the inside he is probably crying out for help. Although he has no one to talk to, he does have special talents that help keep him going strong.

On their journey they lose their first family member, Grampa Joad. This shows that there is a strong connection between a man and his home.

... in a blue uniform with his gun and walkie-talkie enters the mind. When the man had been diagnosed with lung cancer he was described as a sixty pound skeleton being kept alive by liquid food poured down a tube. The code blues were described horrifically. He stopped breathing two to three times a day, and every time he stopped he was resuscitated. “The nurses stayed to wipe away the saliva that drooled from his mouth, irrigate the big craters of bedsores that covered his hips, suction the lung fluids that threatened to drown him, clean the feces that burned his skin…” He was going through an agonizing ordeal, and he was being kept alive unnaturally. The pain he was enduring was far too mu ...

... only sin that she committed is that she had not told the community who the father of Pearl is. It was her choice not to tell whom the father was and she regretted every moment of it. She was suffering because she was not strong enough to come out and tell the town that Dimmesdale was the father. It is stated in the novel that she “was patient, -a martyr, indeed, -but she forbore to pray for her enemies; lest, in spite of her forgiving aspirations, the words of the blessing should stubbornly twist themselves into a curse” (Twentieth Century Interpretations of The Scarlet Letter Pg.108).
