... of Huckleberry Finn Clemens states, "Persons attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot." There were many groups that Clemens contrasted in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The interaction of these different social groups is what makes up the main plot of the novel. For the objective of discussion they have been broken down into five main sets of antithetic parties: people with high levels of melanin and people with low levels of melanin, rednecks and scholarly, children and adults, men and women, and finally, the Sheperdson's and the Gr ...

... what Kafka wanted was a literary degree. Franz Kafka made his character, Gregor, transform into an insect in the story. Nobody wants to associate themselves with an insect, which is a lowly creature, a pest, or nuisance. This symbolizes Kafka’s depression and his poor self image. Since his family treats the insect like an outcast, that must be how Franz felt about the treatment that his own family gave him. It showed the control that his father put on him. He was not allowed to leave his room. Gregor’s parents were so afraid to take him out of the house, because he was the family secret, and they thought that would bring shame and ruin the family. Gregor’s becomin ...

... other adulterer. She faced society only to protect and be close to the man she still loved. The “impulsive and passionate nature” (54), which to Hester seemed pure and natural had to be faced under humiliation alone, without the partner of sin. It seemed as though she was paying not only her own consequence, but that of her lovers as well. Saying so herself while standing on the scaffold “I might face his agony as well as mine!” (64). Now taking on all blame she has given “up all her individuality. Now she would become the “general symbol at which the preacher and moralist might point, and in which they might vivify and embody their images of woman's frailty and sinful passion” ( ...

However, when Narcissus confronts Goldmund with his gifted observations of him, it is a valid indication of the type of relationship that has so far grown between them. "I am superior to you only in one point: I'm awake, whereas you are only half awake, or completely asleep sometimes... Natures of your kind are almost always superior to us creatures of the mind... You live fully; you were endowed with the strength of love, the ability to feel." Narcissus clearly feels that there exists a separation between himself and Goldmund ...

... the story is the fact that the story is written in third person. The narrator is not actually in the story, merely telling us of the events, and yet we still get to see inside Lt.

Also, it is odd that O’Brien the aurthor should choose the third person to write in when creating a story such as this one. Usually when an author wants the reader to feel what the main character is feeling, they w ...
