... i, 122-124) Juliet is to drink a potion to make her appear dead, and later wake to be free of the shame of marrying Paris. Here, Friar Lawrence is assuring Juliet that he will send a letter to Romeo, explaining their plan. Romeo doesn’t receive that letter, and he does not know what is to happen. Free will comes with great consequences. Friar Lawrence and Juliet inflicted their own wounds by not telling Romeo of their plan. If they had taken the time to make sure that Romeo got the information, their plan might have succeeded, and Romeo and Juliet would be free to marry each other. A greater power than we can contradict hath thwarted our intents. (V, iii, 154-155) After Romeo kills Pari ...

... Daisy and Gatsby’s relationship was purely based on beauty and not friendship. The placement of the above quote was essential because it allows us to experience early in the novel how Gatsby had a relationship with Daisy. This first example of flashback by Fitzgerald proves to be effective and its placement essential because of the way it is used in the play. A second example of flashback that Fitzgerald uses is on page 104. Here, Nick explains to the reader how “James Gatsby” got his name Jay Gatsby. He chose the name Jay because James sounded to plain and it would not impress someone of Daisy’s status. It also explains Gatsby’s childhood. This is an effective flashback because it ...

... betrayal in the novel; the betrayal of himself. He betrays himself because he is unconditionally devoted to Brett, and her happiness. He is so in love with Brett that he will do anything for her even it means hurting himself. He is driven by the reality of his physical impotence and therefore gives up on Brett, although in his heart he will always love her. The last remark in the novel is very important in making us see how Jake ultimately betrays himself. He says "yes I said isn't it pretty to think so?" He is being sarcastic when he says this, he seems to have come to a realization that he stubbornly holds on to, that he and Brett will never work out because he can not have sexual relat ...

... own eyes.” (AI, Si, L64-69) This is where the supernatural occurrence is presented. It is thought by the guards to be the ghost of the newly dead king, Hamlet’s father. The next step, which is the establishment of the political realm, comes directly after. Focusing on the main characters that will have an important part in the plot does this. Shakespeare puts emphasis on these characters by giving them an abundance of lines that are important to the overall story line. Claudius, the new king of Denmark since his brother’s death, says “Though yet of Hamlet our dear brother’s death the memory be green, and that it us befitted to bear our hearts in grief, and our whole kingdom to be contracted ...

... him, and he carries the stamp of that passing moment forever. (32) This statement explains that Gene must have something that is his “stamp.” This stamp appears to define an individual-exemplifying what he stands for. It is found that this is true in the next paragraph where Gene continues, “For me, this moment-four years is a moment in history-war the war. The war was and is reality for me. I still live and think in its atmosphere” (32). Later in the same paragraph he goes on to say: America is not, never has been, and never will be what the songs and poems call it, a land of plenty. Nylon, meat, gasoline, and steel are rare. There are too many jobs and not enough workers. Money is very ea ...

... and screaming. One girl feels the urge to get naked and dance around. By now the governor has entered the scene. The maidens see him and recognize him. They all frantically run away, except two.

... know the owner of the land but is still drawn to the beauty of the scene. Frost gives a scene that is taken into the reader and digested for a time in the speaker’s mind. It shows us that it is all right to take a minute out of a hurried hour and reflect upon what is around you, whether it is a snowy wood or a quite room. Frost’s use of nature gives the reader an immense selection of symbolism to contemplate. The poem Nothing Gold Can Stay is a potent dose of symbolic nature. Nature’s first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf’s a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing can stay. ...

... may cover it (the scarlet letter) with a brooch, or such like heathenish adornment, and so walk the streets as brave as ever (pg. 53)!” Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale shows truth by his occupation. People living in Boston, Massachusetts looked up to and respected Dimmesdale because he was a minister. One of his sins was his inability to publicly acknowledge that he committed adultery with Hester and that he is the father of Pearl, Hester’s daughter. However, adultery was not his biggest sin. His biggest sin is hypocrisy. In chapter ten, he speaks of the concealment of his sins, he says, “It may be that they are kept silent by the very constistution of t ...

... why was it that I was like this. I kept thinking about it, but I gave up, probably because I did not want to worry myself about the subject. Not until a while later, did the subject jump back into my head. Another friend of mine, was making plans with me over the phone to go hang out, but she kept asking me if what we were planning to do, is really what I wanted to do. I kept reassuring her that our plans were fine, but she said she did not believe me because of the tone of my voice. I thought it strange that she would say that, but it reminded me of how I was thought of as not showing any true emotions. I realized at that point that it was becoming more evident to me of the way ...
