Enduring Love Act 2 Scene 1 Analysis

The reader can feel the excitement that the children have about the house and the excitement that Connie has when she is with Eddie. When Grandmother is talking to the Misfit about his family and when Arnold talking to Connie about her family, how both, the Misfit and Connie, how they have but a wedge between themselves and their families. The light heartedness of the stories comes from several places. In "A Good Man Is Hard To Find", Grandmother's actions help the reader to see the comic side of her. She is insistent that she does not want to go to Florida, but she refuses to leave the cat. Therefore, she sneaks the cat into the car, like a child sneaking a cookie into his pocket. Ellie is the comic relief in "Where Have You Been, Where Are You Going." Ellie is in control of the music and Arnold wants Connie to believe that Ellie is the "bad guy." The good verse evil is the most compelling of these stories, Grandmother and her religion verses death and innocents verse the harmful world. Grandmother's religion did not stop death from coming nor did it help comfort her in while talking to the Misfit. Although Grandmother tried to get the Misfit to convert and change his ways, the Misfit knew that the minute Grandmother recognized him, he was going to have to kill them even though they were "good" people. Connie thought that while in her house, she could not be hurt. She was comforted by a false sense of security of the house. Arnold was like the wolf in sheep's

During an encounter with the grandmother the violent criminal, known as The Misfit, expressed that life had been unfair to him. He felt that several things in his life had conspired against him to prevent him from being a good man. This was demonstrated in the text when The Misfit stated, "I never was a bad boy” (O’Connor 458). He proceeds to state that,

Only when the grandmother is facing death, in her final moments alone with the Misfit, does she understand where she has gone wrong in life. Instead of being superior, she realizes, she is flawed like everyone else. When she tells the Misfit that he is “one of [her] own children,” she is showing that she has found the ability to see others with compassion and understanding.

The grandmother believes The Misfit is “good” because he will not shoot a lady, which is a denial in her faith to keep her moral principles. Her theory proves to be false. The only thing “good” about the Misfit is his uniformity in living out his moral cipher of there is no pleasure but meanness in life.

Another great example of foreshadowing is how the grandma’s outfit is described in the story. She is suspiciously wearing her finest clothes for just a road trip. The narrator expresses, “In case of an accident, anyone seeing her dead on the highway would know at once that she was a lady” (O’Connor 485). In addition, the theme of the story is having trouble finding good in people. The grandmother seems to be in search of a good man, but is hard to find, hence the title of the story. When the family is off their rout to Florida and gets in a car accident on a deserted dirt road, they happen to encounter The Misfit. The grandma tries to side with The Misfit and persuade him that he is a good man. She cries out, “You’ve got good blood! I know you wouldn’t shoot a lady! I know you come from nice people” (O’Connor 493). Towards the end of the story, O’Connor brings up the Misfits upbringings because the grandmother is trying to relate her good self with The Misfit’s good blood and how he must come from nice people. The narrator referred to Hiram as one of the bad escaped criminals and Red Sammy as the good owner of the Tower

Perhaps lingering memories of times past allow grandmother to conclude that good men are hard to find. While grandma comments that he is a good man, his wife comes to the table with the food and a contributing thought that no one can be trusted (as she looks at Red). To this point, even a routine stop for a bite to eat never escapes the harsh realities of the grandmother as she tries to deal with choices, and the resulting consequences from her youth.

As the story progresses, the theme changes from being comical to being violent. Also, the reader's perception of the grandmother becomes more intense . As O'Connor said, "[t]here is a change of tension from the first part of the story to the second where the Misfit enters, but this is no lessening of reality" ("On" 176). The presence of the Misfit causes the story to become more of a mystery; therefore, the actions of the grandmother also become a mystery because the reader doesn't know what to expect from her. It is a surprise to the reader to find the grandmother become so sincere. The grandmother tries many traditional methods to keep the Misfit from killing

In Act 3 Scene 1 of Romeo & Juliet, Shakespeare raises the excitement and the tension throughout the scene by using dramatic tension between the characters, provocative and threatening dialogue, strong language effects, and sharp vital violence. The scene begins with Benvolio and Mercutio coming on to stage, with Benvolio suggesting they should go home in case they meet the Capulets and the violence ensues. “The day is hot, the Capels are abroad, And if we meet we shall not scape a brawl, for now, these hot days, is the mad blood stirring.” This pathetic fallacy and strong image of mad blood creates an expectation in the audience of violent events to come. This expectation seems to be met fulfilled quickly

These are elements of random foreshadowing that helped the reader understand why the grandmother believed so strongly that a good man is hard to find. This would be a prelude to the horrific events that would later unfold when the grandmother encounters the misfit who by all intense purposes was not believed to be a good man.

The next night Cecilia raced to the garden trying not to get caught bring her poems to an area unknown to most of the nurses.

    At the beginning of the story, the reader encounters the grandmother’s flawed view of “a good man” during her conversation with Red Sammy. The conversation displays her misinterpretation

But first, I was reminded of a joking around type of thing from when I first met e: biblecodewisdom.com/code/nuns-sew-err-coyote-and-road-run-ner-satan-example {nuns sew err coyote and road run ner satan example} Some e-s came up with the cartoon to put the clown on e. It was somewhat the way it was with e; he often failed are my viewpoints and often was theirs back then in various ways. I was "crying-laughing" about it when I met e. At this point, I know e had some great song versions; it is just e was earning so much pain and losing at everything with the long term view in mind (and of course Jesus would stop e with several things), and anyway, e succeeding at tricking people earned him pain and a number of problems with eternity in mind.

In Act 2 Scene 6 of Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare uses the characterization of Romeo and the conflict of their secret marriage to emphasize the overall message that love and fate are interchangeable.

What is love? This definition from Dictionary.com states that love is “a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend”. Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is by far the best love story because of all the different types of love that are present. There are many different forms of love in the play, but, the ones that show the most are unrequited love, friendship, and romantic love.

“O, what a deal of scorn looks beautiful in the contempt and anger of his lip! A murd’rous guilt shows not itself more soon than love that would seem hid: love’s night is noon. – Cesario, by the roses of the spring, by maidhood, honor, truth, and every thing, I love thee so, that maugre all thy pride, nor wit nor reason can my passion hide. Do not extort thy reasons from this clause, for that I woo, thou therefore hast no cause; but rather reason thus with reason fetter: love sought is good, but given unsought is better.” (Shakespeare. Twelfth Night. 3.2.144-156).
