Catherine felt that she could never relate to the environment because she felt she was a totally diverse from the environment. She was not a person that could speak for herself. Claire helped her sister after her father’s passing to try to get her back into the environment that remained absent to Catherine for so long. Catherine was a very shy person. There is an extreme disconnection of who Catherine is and what she presents herself to others. When Hal noticed she had a lot of math books in her room she told him they were just a window dressing. The disengagement between who she is and what she presents herself to other people is an inability to effectively communicate. Catherine gave Hal an extremely complicated proof which was her

I found myself sympathizing with Catherine throughout reading Proof. Catherine was a talented, intelligent 25 year old girl who gave up her education, dreams and desires to care for her ill father. For someone so young and had so much going for her she didn’t give it a second thought to care for her father. I found this really remarkable because how many would give up their lives to care for another especially a person as young as Catherine. I felt for Catherine because she struggled losing a sense of who she was. After Catherine’s father passing, she became withdrawn, depressed and was going through a difficult time. A visit from her father’s ghost shows how worrisome he was about her. “I’ve seen you. You sleep till noon, you eat junk, you
As the novel progresses, Catherine begins to understand Isabella’s actions and the way she treats certain people including herself.
Catherine’s internal conflict is placed on a pedestal, emphasizing character development and growth as well as decline. Her choices throughout the book are a decision between reality and daydream, often resulting in the latter being chosen in an attempt to meet the expectations of other people. As Meyer pulls the reader into the Kingdom of Hearts, with its grandiose balls and talking turtles, Catherine’s
Catherine of Northanger Abbey personifies the ideal of the ‘Virtuous Woman’ differently from Evelina as Catherine is far more familiar within the customs of fashionable society. She has the luxury of free speech (in comparison to Evelina) but does not have the keen ability of perception over social situations. This is due in part because Catherine is so lost in her world of stories that she tries to make her life parallel to that of the characters in her Gothic texts. This trait of hers, a naivety
By showing her dislike for Thorpe, she was proving that she was able to think for herself and form her own opinions. She did not allow herself to be manipulated by anyone, and an element of that shone through when she said “If I could not be persuaded into what I thought was wrong, I will never be tricked into it” (Austen 68). Although Catherine is quite young and naïve, she shows maturity in not letting herself be

1. I think that Hemingway was foreshadowing the outcome of the novel by saying that the right thing is not always the most popular thing to do. In this case, Henry was saying he wouldn’t do things unless he really wanted to. Henry never really wanted the baby with Catherine because their relationship would have another variable in it. It was then foreshadowed when the baby died and his relationship with Catherine is permanently damaged.
Negative correlation is the relationship when one variable increases and the other variable decreases. Hemingway creates negative correlation throughout his novel, A Farewell to Arms. Hemingway uses a series of literary devices to exhibit negative correlation between the main characters. Henry and Catherine’s relationship illustrates the negative correlation between love and pain.
While Caleb claims to his friends and co-workers that Catherine is over-sensitive and disrespectful, Catherine (at the same time) claims to her peers that Caleb is insensitive to her needs and doesn't listen to her. Further
Firstly, Jane Austen interests us in Catherine by using strong language for Catherine's character. On page 80, at the
When the two first meet, Catherine is still dealing with the death of her fiancé in
In the novel Catherine is depicted as the weak, dependent woman to Henry’s stoic independence. Her character gives hints to a deeper meaning as to who she is. Not just by what she says but what she also does. Even though Catherine is in a foreign country in the middle of a fierce war working tirelessly to tend to those wounded men. It’s the recent death of her fiancé that leaves her so vulnerable to the advances of a man. Therefore, as soon as she meets Henry it’s not technically love at first sight due to her hesitation, but something that would give her a distraction from what’s going on in the world around them. She allows herself to be molded to “fit” his wants and needs giving herself entirely into the relationship. However, she doesn’t allow herself to be disillusioned that anything more can come from what they have. Having lost her fiance she’s too afraid to lose anyone else,but she enjoys the distraction that Henry gives.
