... days, weeks, and years before the revolution sitting in her wine shop, knitting a list of names. This list of names is a register of those she's marked for death, come the revolution. This hobby links her closely with the reoccurring theme of fate, while all she knits is death into her list. These names are mainly the ones of the French aristocracy who she plans to kill. The reason behind her vulgar temptations is not only the growing poverty, and extremely poor living and working conditions in France. The actual reason for her vicious dreams date back to the fate of her own family. Madame Defarge’s sister was raped and killed along with her brother who was murdered by members o ...

... the thoughts and opinions of the masses and it does this by creating a reality where everything suits whatever it is the party needs to be believed. This is accomplished in three ways. The first is revisionism or the act of changing facts such as history so that the Party is always made to look good and mobilize popular opinion against its enemies. The second way the party creates an artificial reality is through artificial scarcity. There is no need for the constant warfare but if the need no longer existed for the construction of the tools of war that productivity would instead be put towards the manufacture of goods which could actually raise the standard of living.

During this trek for truth the narrator came into contact with several individuals ranging in social status from town commons to the Sheikh of the district, educated men such as lawyers, artists, and musicians, and many local shop tenders. Many of these individuals were in touch with the faith that was beginning to grow in the narrator, understanding the desire and thirst to know this man of miracles.

... of her physical attributes. The Wife of Bath is gapped tooth. "Gat-toothed was she, soothly for to saye. Upon an amblere esily she sat" (p.91, ll. 470-471) This physical feature is attributed to lust and passion. The fact that she could ride a horse easily also could take on sexual connotations (Maclaine 32). The horse she "rides" so well could actually be her husband. Early in the Wife of Bath Prologue, The Wife of Bath declares that experience is more important to her than knowledge. "Experience, though noon auctoritee, Were in this world, is right ynough for me" (p.117, ll. 1-2) She is confid ...

Some may argue that in saving Jim , Huck saves face for the human race, giving a sense of hope for the future. However, Huck must go about freeing Jim in an underhanded manner, lying and stealing his way down the river. ...

... as though they could fly, but few have ever actually felt that they were flying. Even those users who report they are flying report more of a blurred sense of flying, not the clear experience one has while dreaming, or like the experience Alice has falling down the rabbit hole. Another connection to dreams is the pattern of things appearing and disappearing in the novel. Oftentimes, in dreams, things appear and disappear for no apparent reason, much like the experience Alice has throughout her journey in Wonderland. Alice finds things appearing when she comes across the glass table with the small golden key on it. "There was nothing on it but a tiny golden key . . . There seemed t ...
