However, apart from the sexual deviations he engages in with the hospital medical staff, his ultimate object of desire is his wife Claire. She is also the object of his vindication. His metamorphosis is his plea for obliging her to gratify him in ways he was denied before. Kepesh remembers the first two years of his relationship with his second wife Claire as a time of deep affection and intense sexual prowess on his part. The last year, though, was a year of menopausal ineptness, which Kepesh remembers with a lot of remorse, “As it was, the strong lust her physical beauty had aroused in me during the first two years of our affair had been dwindling for almost a year now” (7). Actually, Kepesh regrets the fact that Claire is a “voluptuous”
Love, hate, life, death, and medicine; the five crucial parts of ABC’s hit TV show, Grey’s Anatomy. Grey’s Anatomy is a show that first premiered on March 27, 2005. The script was written, produced, and even created by Shonda Rhimes. Some people consider Shonda to be evil based on the plot of the show, and I do too. On the other hand, she did create a show that many people enjoy to watch including me. I am still an active watcher even after 14 seasons of this show. Even though I like the show so much, I found areas in the show to critique that include the plot and the actors.

In Ken Kesey’s novel “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”, the nurse Miss Ratched is a fine example of a realistic fictional villain. Possession of three key components is essential in identifying what makes Miss Ratched a villian. Motive is what drives the villain to commit the very acts that allow them to be considered evil in the first place, and often drive their entire being as a character. While they must possess motive, they must also have a sense of morals that coincides with their motives (typically evil, or distorted) and follow their moral compass in a way that often causes trouble for those around them. Additionally, a villain is frequently associated with their opposite; the hero who combats them. Kesey’s character perfectly aligns with these three categories of what makes a villain, and it is unquestionable that she is the villain of the novel.
