The Characteristics Of Kathleen OConnell's Odile For Odette

There are other characters in other stories that made mistakes too. Like general Zaroff for example. Zaroff killed people for sport because he was finding hunting animals boring. It is true that this is a super bad thing to, but Zaroff only affected a dozen or two dozen people before he was killed by rainsford. Eckels impacted the lives of maybe a million people because he stepped on a

This is a quote from the play Antigone. The question validity is not a simple one. There are many different opinions upon if this this applies to everybody. I find this to apply to everyday life.

Occasionally everyone makes atrocious decisions, and usually, these choices do not cause an enormous negative impact on their future. In the classic Romeo and Juliet, the outcome of the characters’ demise is a result of their fast pace-decisions, their ignorance/assumptions, and their lack of ability in accepting responsibility.

accidents do happen in real life, of course. So do illnesses. But when they happen in literature they're not really accidents. They're accidents only on the inside of the novel on the outside they're planned, plotted, and executed by somebody, with malice aforethought [,]

What does a person think holds the most influence; the mistake itself or the actions that fallow after seeing the daylight of their mistakes? Will the mistakes be left to suffer in silence or will that person submit to their fatalities in a humble manner? In the short story “Transformation” by Mary Shelley, the main character Guido recalls his life story and admits all the horrible mistakes he made, despite his shame and embarrassment. He’s a young man who was desperately in love with Juliet; although he was an arrogant and selfish man who disregarded Juliet’s feelings. Even after he realized he had lost Juliet forever, a dwarf convinces him revenge is the adequate reaction. So, Guido trades his appearance and life for the Dwarf’s riches. Guido believes that in order to exact revenge on Juliet and her father he needs money; the catch is this exchange will only last for three days. When he sees the Dwarf inside his own body, he realizes his own faults and his selfless act in response re-paid his debt in the end. The moral lesson of “Transformation” by Mary Shelley is that making a mistake is not the biggest issue; what you do once you realize where you went wrong is what matters. The author developed this moral through conflict and characterization.

In "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas," Ursula K. LeGuin makes use of colorful descriptions and hypothetical situations to draw us into a surrealistic world that illustrates how unsympathetic society can be. LeGuin's ambiguity of how the story will go is purposeful; she cunningly makes her case that each of us handles the undesirable aspects of the world we live in differently, and that ultimately, happiness is relative.

Philosophers, Peter Singer’s and Onora O’Neill’s attempt to draw connection between poverty and moral philosophy and how aid should be directed towards groups in absolute poverty. The aim of this paper is to provide an extensive analysis on the work of both the philosophers’ while outlining some of the limitations each of the theories has.

Utopia is any state, condition, or place of ideal perfection. In Ursula LeGuin's short story "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas" the city of Omelas is described as a utopia. "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas" presents a challenge of conscience for anyone who chooses to live in Omelas.

A third example of poor decision making is by less important characters, although less important their mistakes affect Romeo and Juliet in a very large way. Sampson and Gregory starting a fight caused the prince to hit his limit and declare death on the next person to disturb the peace in Verona. Mercutio makes two major mistakes affecting Romeo, firstly was to tell Romeo to play the field and go to the party despite his feelings, leading to him meeting and kissing Juliet. A second mistake Mercutio made was to fight Tybalt, when he died Tybalt just wanted to keep going and kill Romeo as well. When the Prince discovers Romeo has killed Tybalt, even if Tybalt was at fault he must keep his promise and banishes Romeo to Mantua. Romeos banishment is what leads to the desperate plans of both Romeo and

Othello is a tragic figure because his downfall is a direct result of his flaws: naiveté/

Life is a long journey that takes plenty of patience, perseverance, and hope. In Fredrik Backman’s novels A Man Called Ove and Britt-Marie Was Here, a common theme shared between the two novels is that one needs to live life till the end and never lose hope. There are two points in life at which every human is indifferent. The first being birth and the other death. From the second a baby gets home from the hospital, it’s life is now a unique journey that will consist of different experiences that build up it’s character and create a human that is like no other. Derek Jeter once said in a post retirement interview that, “Life is an emotional rollercoaster, there are ups and downs but the main thing is that it keeps going and ends eventually”. This means that everything has an end and nothing lasts forever in life. Life consists of both happy and sad moments and they both come and go periodically. The ultimate goal in life is to be happy for as long as possible, however sad times are inevitable and it is dreamy to believe that one will never run into problems in life. It is how one deals with the sadness that determines their character and one must always aspire for hope and happiness in order to overcome sadness. In the novels A Man Called Ove and Britt-Marie Was Here by Fredrik Backman, the two main characters Ove and Britt-Marie are left with no hope to continue their life as it has taken a tragic turn in their late ages which leads them to believe that they no longer need

Choices that people make can be seen in an evil or good nature way just like every day people even Shakespeare knew this and wanted to add this theme to his plays. In Shakespeare play The Tardy of Othello, the Moor of Venice, Othello was our hero. Every hero has flaws that lead to their undoing. Othello’s poor decisions making was caused by his flaws. His tragic flaws are that he makes poor judgment, irrational decisions, and he insecurity. These reasons are his downfall.

What might me a mistake to someone might be right for another person. But, mistakes do help a person distinguish between right and wrong. A mistake informs a person of what is accepted by the society. Mistakes are said to be the best teacher. When a person goes wrong while doing something, it stays in his mind forever. He doesn’t easily forget it and avoids repeating such mistakes. Mistakes are also indicators of risk involved. They inform us about what can possibly go wrong if a certain plan is carried out. They are similar to test points which check whether a particular procedure or step suits the task or the outcome that is

In a traditional tragic play, as pioneered by the Greeks and imitated by William Shakespeare, a hero is brought low by an error or series of errors and realizes his or her mistake only when it is too late. In Christianity, though, as long as a person is alive, there is always the possibility of repentance—so if a tragic hero realizes his or her mistake, he or she may still be saved even at the last moment. But though Faustus, in the final, wrenching scene, comes to his senses and begs for a chance to repent, it is too

     I’m sure you have heard the expression “learn from your mistakes.” If it is possible to learn from your mistakes, then it must be possible to learn from another person’s mistakes or even a ficticious character's mistakes. You may even be able to learn from their way of life. The characters may not be real people, but they can be important interpretations of real-life situations by creative authors. Everyman is a good example of this. And it still applies
