... too much of a burden on the Macbeths. The blood represents their crime, and they can not escape the sin of their actions. Macbeth realizes that in time he would get what he deserves. Since he can not ride himself of his guilt by washing the blood away, his fate may have been sealed. They try to use water for vindication, but Macbeth says that all the water in the ocean could not cleanse his hands. He imagines the blood from the murder staining the ocean red. Lady Macbeth differs from her husband in this aspect. She believes her conscience would be cleansed at the time her hands are physically cleaned.

... this dream, if it is to be interpreted in this way. On the same token, Raskolnikov's compassionate side could be represented by the little boy. The child, watching the beating, realizes the absurdity of it. He even rushes to Mikolka, ready to punish him for killing the mare. This illustrates Rodion's internal struggle while contemplating the murder of Alyona. His humane side, the child, tells him to live and let live. And his "extraordinary" side, according to his definition, tells him that he should eliminate Alyona altogether, for the good of man kind. On the other side of the coin, Raskolnikov could be represented by the mare itself. However, the burden which the mare ...

By the end of this story he says a key line which proves he has achieved higher self-awareness due to all the encounters he has faced when he states, “we must cultivate our garden.” Although ...

... is actually afraid of him. When the hand is moved she is calmed again, but only until the morning when she sees it again. I still do not understand why she kisses it. She gives in and accepts the fact that she will see the hand every day and constantly be reminded of the fact that this man is a stranger. I feel bad for the woman, but on the other hand she was foolish to get involved so heavily with a man she barely knew. I wonder why the idea of leaving does not cross the young woman’s mind. Why does she not leave in the night or leave the next day explaining to the man that she has made a mistake. If I were in such a position I would not think twice about backing out. The woman ...

... purpose of the plot in The Trial is to show the downfalls of a judicial system that is run without the public’s knowledge or input. Kafka wants the reader see the flaws in their judicial system and to become actively involved in the judicial reforms. He wants the reader to see that these flaws should not just be brushed off as mere inconveniences. He uses K. to show the life-altering (and in K.’s case, life-ending) effects that judicial flaws can have on the public. His arrest, his search for answers, and his trial and eventual execution all show this. The purpose of the plot in The Stranger is to show how the judicial system’s officials misconceptions and prejudices can cause major flaws ...

... knew that he had a problem, that he need to do something about his face; but Stradlater thought that he was a great guy. He actually thought that there was nothing wrong with never washing his razor. I think that what mad, Holden so made Stradlater was perpetrating in other word being "phony" every time he went out all GQ after using that filthy razor. Another instance is when he calls that girl in New York, Faith Cavendish, that Eddie Birdsell had brought to a dance at Princeton. Anyway he called her and she almost went off until Holden drooped Eddie's name. Then all of a sudden "she was getting friendly as hell." The same person said "if you think I enjoy bein' woke up in the middle-" ...
