Homer Hickam Sr. is the most influential person towards his son, nicknamed Sonny, because his negativity motivates him to strive to do better. Homer Hickam Sr. is not supportive of Sonny's aspirations to build a rocket. Homer's negativity makes Sonny to strive to work harder in order to prove his father wrong. Homer exclaims, "'This is the end of it' he said over his shoulder as he shook out the last bag of saltpeter, 'and this time I mean it.

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.

When left to themselves without laws or consequences for their actions, humans reveal an ugly and chaotic side of themselves. This horrid side of humans is ultimately lead by Sigmund Freud’s concept of the human ID, which describes the evil and twisted side of the human mind. This concept of inevitable anarchy due to a lack of laws is exhibited in William Golding’s novel, Lord of The Flies. Through notable characters such as Jack, Roger, Ralph, and Piggy, Golding elucidates how even once civilized, people can immediately change based on their environment. The lack of a strong government and strict laws leads these boys into an ultimate anarchic war which threatens their survival and their chances of getting rescued from the island. Multiple characters such as Piggy, get killed due to this lack and inability of the boys to follow 18th century philosopher, Cesare Beccaria’s, belief of a strong judicial system to hold people accountable for their actions. The boys responsible for Piggy’s death (Roger and other hunters) are simply let go without any punishments or consequences. Eventually, this barbarous and savage war almost leads to the island being devastated by a fire created by Jack’s tribe to capture Ralph for simply trying to bring back law to the island.

When Ralph realizes that he is on what resembles Ballatyne's Coral Island, he is thrilled, casting off his clothes in a gesture symbolic of his rejection of the restrictions of the life at the boys' school from which he has been evacuated. But, it is the voice of reason in Piggy, who immediately is concerned that order be established. However, he is ineffectual at creating this order because of his physical appearance--he has thinning hair like an older man, and also more like an older man, he is fat--and because it is Ralph who finds the conch and blows it, summoning the other boys. Moreover, Ralph seems more suited to the role of leader because he is "the golden boy," handsome, confident, and appealing as a model to the others, while Piggy is intimidated by the appearance of the red-haired Jack Merridew, leader of the choir in his formidable black uniform.
In the novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, by Ken Kesey, the author uses motifs and character thoughts to emphasize the fine line that exists between imagination and reality and how simple it can be to blend the two. The idea that the truth can be constructed intentionally, without basis on factual events, is apparent in society with the increase of false realities seen in technology and media; the attempted use of tools to distinguish the two from one another illustrates the complexity of their union.

“ As I am now, I am no wife for you”(Ibsen 887) This statement is from Henrik Ibsen’s play, A Doll House, is a play based in 1879, and it sets the tone of the remainder of the story. Ibsen seems to be making a statement that women need to mature and be independent before they have a family of their own. All of the women in this play leave their loved ones behind to gain their independence. Ibsen’s statement and character portrayal helps make Ibsen’s play take on feminist characteristics.

This is exemplified through Nora, minor characters such as Krogstad’s wife and the Nurse, and Christine. With this being one of the major themes
