Summary On The Taurus Express

In the play, Mary Warren was one of the girls that was seen in the woods by Reverend Hale. When they go caught she told him that she was not participating she was just watching. In the book she felt guilt for the poppet, and it causing suspicion on Elizabeth. She was also scared of Abigail, because of the things that she did and she she wanted John Proctor to love her the way she loved him. ( Miller 2)

Author also surprises readers, when he introduces conflict between a couple that used to love each other deeply. Diverting the story from love to betrayal, author develops an irony. In the story, reader sees two examples of betrayal. Ms. Maloney, while talking with her tired husband, finds out her husband no longer want to keep their marriage. Without giving any kind of reason, Patrick betrays her wife with a decision of breaking marriage. Mary shocks, when her husband, boldly, says, “ This is going to be bit shock of you”(P. Maloney) Author creates a total opposite picture of Patrick by describing him as a husband who used to give her wife surprises; he is now giving her shock in the middle of her pregnancy. Mary, who was previously shown as “anxiety less”(Dahl), with “a slow smiling air”(Dahl) and “curiously tranquil”(Dahl), had began to get upset and now inculcate her eye with a “bewildered look.” After betrayed by her husband, she, without any argue, she goes to the basement to look for frozen food. She decides to have leg of a lamb as a last dinner with her husband, but she smashes the frozen leg in to Patrick’s head with killing him. Mary betrays her husband by killing him and takes revenge of her betrayal. Later, Author confirms her as a murdered with the statement of “I’ve killed him”(Mary) from her own lips. Dahl, in the story,

Robertson Davies, author of Fifth Business introduces the readers to two of the main characters of the novel, Dunstable Ramsay and Percy Staunton. These two were friends, but they still had a lot of tension between one another. This caused Dunstable to provoke Percy in the beginning, which causes them to have a snowball fight. As they had this fight someone got hit but it wasn't Dunstable. It was the pregnant, Mrs. Dempster. This one incident is where the chain of guilt begins. Dunstable felt so guilty that the snowball had hit Mrs.Dempster but he felt even more guilty when he heard about her premature birth and infancy of Paul Dempster. After this incident, Dunstable became very responsible towards Mrs. Dempster. He accepts his guilt and tries to resolve it.

Explain Mary Warren's predicament. What consequences does she face from Abigail and the other girls, Danforth, and Proctor if she goes against each of

They brought her down to the station to be questioned. There were two people in this tight, dark, eerie room. The police and Miss strangeworth stared intensely at each other for what felt like hours. It was silence but you could hear Miss Strangeworth crying of fear. The officer began to ask simple questions. He started with the ‘who’ of this investigation. “I am the only one writing these letters” she confesses “But I have a letter on almost everyone in this small town.” The officer asks for how long she has been writing these letters

While each proses a serve of justice and determination to do the right thing; the men approach the crime scene emotionless, indifferent and determined to go in and get to the bottom of the mystery as quick as possible, and push aside the little details. Little do they know that the things they are putting off could be very essential to their case? For example, in a conversation between the attorney and Mr. Hale who remarks, “..I said to Harry that I didn’t know as what his wife wanted made such a difference to John..” who was interrupted by the attorney in mid conversation and interjects, “Let’s talk about that later, Mr. Hale. I do want to talk about that, but tell now just what happened when you got to the house.” (1127) Meanwhile, while the men are out on their hunt for clues, the women stay in the kitchen to look through Mrs. Wright’s things and discuss a motive for why she killed her husband. Glaspell proposes a plan that by looking deeper into circumstances, you may in turn fully understand its true meaning; leaving no stone left unturned.

Mary is very manipulative in that she is able to create the character of the poor, pregnant wife, whose husband has just been murdered. She is able to convince the police to take pity on her, to mix her a drink and then to even eat the evidence, the leg of lamb that she has left in the oven. "Why don’t you eat up that lamb that is in the oven" (Dahl, p. 17). Mary realizes that if the police find the evidence she will go to jail. Her quick thinking and manipulative character results in the police officers eathign the evidence and therefore she cannot be charged of this crime. These actions show the complex character that Mary Maloney truly is.

Mary Warren is guilty of causing hysteria in the story by fabricating and planting evidence. An example of Mary being guilty of fabricating and planting evidence is when Proctor questions her about how the poppet got into his house, Mary says “,glancing about the avid faces: Why-I made it in the court-sir and-give it to Goody Proctor.” (Miller 75) This shows that Mary is guilty of fabricating and planting evidence because she’s “glancing” at the “avid faces” before answering Proctor about the poppet with the needle in it. This shows that she knows that she is guilty of this charge. She knew that putting a needle in the poppet means that someone will get and she wanted to give it to Goody Proctor so that she’ll get framed. Another example of

This is where the reader knows more then the characters, having seen the murder from Mary’s point of view and now watching the police officers discuss the crime. Also ironic, is that the police officers are doing Mary a huge favour by eating the evidence, making her practically undiscoverable. What is also special about the story, is that in the very beginning, Mary Maloney is described as a weak woman, only devoted to her husband and submissively in love with him. The reader is completely shocked when she murders her husband.

Due to Holmes’ suspicion he and Watson desired to investigate further; they departed to Stoke Moran. They revealed some interesting clues. First of all, the bed was clamped to the floor, there were metallic bars on the windows, along with a forged bell chord attached to a ventilator. Holmes soon found out that the ventilator was connected to Dr. Roylott 's room. This made Sherlock curious, wanting to know more. Helen was a young woman who was frightened of the strong and abusive, Dr. Roylott. She had prearranged to switch places with Sherlock and Watson so they could resolve the case once and for all. She exchanged places after Dr. Roylott was “asleep”. When Sherlock and Holmes arrived to Stoke Moran, they waited and waited. During the middle of the story, both the mood and tone shift. The mood soon became petrified. The tone soon also became something else, challenging. Sherlock Holmes and

While the men in the story where playing Sherlock Holmes looking for evidence that Mrs. Wright killed her husband, they missed the bad fruit and the bread left out of the bow, a quilt that was not finished and had a few bad stiches, an unclean table and a birdcage that was empty. They were so determined to find specific clues of the murder, that they missed the clues of the emotional abuse that Mrs. Wright was subjected to from her husband. They were also so busy criticizing everything that Mrs. Wright did or did not do, that they missed everything that was right in front of their eyes. They even slipped with some sexist remarks Mr. Hale says ‘Well, women are used to worrying over trifles’, not realizing that the women were in the room.

For example, the murderers begin warning Ratchett of his approaching death with ominous letters. The group constantly sends threatening letters, and notes about the Armstrong case to Ratchett that eventually starts to make him seem paranoid and crazy. People around him just believe he is losing his mind, so they ignore him until he is actually dead. Furthermore, the assassins attempt to mislead the detectives when they purposely leave belongings of the murderer in Ratchett’s room to make it seem as though they are trying to incriminate that person. Colonel Arbuthnot is the only person on the train who admits to smoking using a pipe, so the pipe cleaner found in Ratchett’s room makes it seem as though someone is trying to frame him. This makes the detectives feel as though Colonel is innocent, which is another example of the processed thinking the murderers do. Finally, Ratchett is stabbed twelve time, which is both a metaphor, and part of the revenge. The group feels as though proper justice is not served in the Armstrong, so they stab Ratchett twelve time-- symbolizing twelve jury members, as well as a stab for each other as revenge. Poirot realizes the connection when he says, "And then, Messieurs, I saw light. They were all in it. . . . A jury is composed of twelve people-- there were twelve passengers-- Ratchett was stabbed twelve times" (306). The metaphor and emotion behind the stabbing makes it clear that the murder of Ratchett is an act of pure vengeance. In conclusion, the most meticulous manner the murder is conducted is the manner in which the murder is

Not only do they lie to the other passengers of the train and the reader, but also to the great detective Herlcule Poirot. “Lies- and again lies. It amazes me, the amount of lies we had told to us this morning… There are still more to discover.” (Christie MOE 61). The ego of the passengers and isolation are in sync to the theory as they are all in small space with so much hatred towards the man that it drives them enough to kill him. Being so tight in a small compartment leads them to all kill Ratchtte for what he did to the little girl of Daisy Armstrong together and knew what they were doing. The passengers have it set in their mind that they want to kill him in which they do but never speak a word of it to Poirot. “If ever a man deserves what he got, Ratchett... Is the man... I'm Rejoice I was end. Such a man wasn't fit to live!” (2.13). In closing, both novels show the ego/illness by all the guests on the island and train committing a murder, lie about themselves, and hold inner disires that only the reader learns to find out.

Mrs Hayward is a contradictory character who is established through Stephen’s fragmented memory to be both a character of smiling perfection and a broken woman, sitting in the dust weeping. She is both the embodiment of a perfect British wartime wife and a character of suspicion; a spy, a traitor, the epitome of deceit and the focus of two young boys’ overzealous imagination.
