In addition, every tombstone is engraved with the cheesy sentimental sayings that are common on gravestones which portray the people below as angelic, sacred beings. However, as the old man describes, many were far from sacred which increases the tombstone heresy. For instance, one gravestone claims that below lay the beloved son of his widowed mother when in reality, the mother and son hated each other. The old man goes on with his sermon to preach that many of these people were even fake Christians and not actual

Dr. Seward is the owner of an asylum, and so should presumably have his patient’s well being at the forefront of his mind. But the way that he manages Renfield--and by extension his asylum--seems oddly relaxed, unprofessional, and even unhealthy. However, Seward’s overall handling of his patient is not fully due to individual failings as a medical professional. His behavior towards Renfield is largely emblematic of views in the mental health field in the late 19th century. Any behavior that Seward does display that seems eccentric even by those standards were fostered by viewing a man

In act three, scene three Othello, the main character quotes, “ O blood, blood...”. What is happening is at this point is Othello has been informed by Iago that Cassio has been sleeping with his wife, Desdemona. Othello throughout the act is oblivious to what is occurring around him as his mind is too clouded on his love for Desdemona.

It states there are two ways of thinking of moral reasoning and four player perspectives in games. The two ways of thinking are choosing moral logic or video game logic. Moral logic is choosing choices based on morals, and video game logic is based on the best solutions to finish the game. The first player perspective is treating the characters in a social way and sometimes respecting morally. This could be when a person plays the role of the character and only performs actions the do-good character would. In The Stanley Parable, it's when the player chooses endings best for Stanley.

“You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world… but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices.” -John Green. I think this quote means how it’s inevitable that you will get hurt eventually. In the present or future you could try to minimize the pain of hurt that comes your way. You could try to minimize the pain by finding the person who may or may not hurt you and go from there. I think this quote is significant to the story because these lovers who were lonely and hopeless found each other, and fell in love knowing the outcome would hurt more than anything before. This formed them and a new chapter in their life that they will forever remember. Every memory they made, every kiss they had, or every tear they shared will

A well developed setting gives a reader a clear intuition on how the characters will behave, but the best developed characters provide unpredictability in terms of how much they defy the expectations assigned to them based on setting. The setting of a novel encaptures many things, ranging from era, climate, and environment. Setting automatically has effect on characters-be it in terms of their physical appearance, emotional maturity, language, or age but the depth of a character oftentimes changes based on setting. In “Dracula,” “Parable of the Sower,” and “The Flowers,” each respective female protagonist-- Mina, Lauren, and Myop, changes and grows positively. The shifts in setting foster character growth; each character become more enlightened and self sufficient. Furthermore, each story relates to Plato’s “The Allegory of the Cave,” in that as each character ventures further away from the circle of their own comfort and knowledge, they become progressively less ignorant and more informed.
