I feel sudden sympathy for Ethan in the novella due to how restricted his existence seems to be. Ethan is presented as a tragic hero due to the fact his kindness and good will hold him back from his possible future endeavors. This effects Ethan in the long run as he starts to lose his sanity and goes beyond breaking point which leads to a catastrophic mistake and all he has left is the struggle of the long, lonely years to come. His fatal flaw was his inability to think past kindness and loyalty and look forward towards prosperity and love. He even considered calling off Mattie's suicide to feed his beloved sorrel going hungry, this showed his weakness in incredibly serious situations. No one dies in this novella. Warton still creates a terrible, memorable ending by presenting what he could have been and how he threw away himself. Ethan was always inevitably going to struggle to deal with finding first love but because they are so restricted it almost brings Mattie and him closer together with metaphorical walls crumbling around

Throughout the book their relationship grows much more stronger when they find out that they both love Shakespeare. Danny Hupfer and Doug Swieteck show how much they care about their friend Holling and they always stick together through hard times. Furthermore, they always manage to get themselves into sticky situations many times, because of their own mischievous actions.

When he thinks of Zeena he realizes his fate is to be trapped in a unbearable and boring life. This realization hits him

Responsibility The sense of responsibility is a driving force in the novel and is clearly shown through the actions of the main character Ethan Frome.

The Roman Empire is credited with the development of many great achievements. These achievements can still be seen in Rome and throughout the world. The Romans are well known for their aqueduct system and huge colosseum that are still standing today. These monumental building feats would not have been created without the use and knowledge of many different techniques. The use of cement was one of the technologies employed to build these large structures. The utilization of arches was another. Many people associate the idea of arches with the Romans. However, they were not the first people to utilize arches. This paper will concentrate on why the Romans were credited with developing the arch; what they did to improve previous cultures use of arches; and how the Romans used arches to create massive structures that are still standing today.
