Turning Point In Short Story

The author creates a sense of mystery, puzzle, which relentlessly attracts the reader through the whole work. When the author described Bartleby's character, he feels apologetic for his isolation and strange behavior. However, the author said that he depended on other people's judgments, Bartleby did not fit into the structure of established society. He would have to explain to every visitor why Bartleby violates someone invented the

In most mystery novels, the murderer must arrest and bring to the justice. In Murder on the Orient Express, there are multiple characters involved in the murder of an evil man, Ratchett. The investigator, Hercule Poirot, leaves it to the train director, M. Bouc, to decide whether to allow the possible solution that Rachett has been murdered by a single unknown intruder who escaped or to pursue the real solution that multiple characters executed Rachett as payment for his wrong doing. As the result, M Bouc chooses the first solution to protect the family. Poirot and Dr. Constantine agree. This means they ignore the multiple killers. This moral will not be acceptable. However, fully in sympathy with the Armstrong family, and feeling nothing but disgust, Poirot accepts Mrs. Hubbard’s appeal for committing the crime. There are other reasons why Poirot overlooks them. First, Ratchett is more evil

There are many relationships throughout the small part we read, in the story ‘The Palace Thief’. The few key relationship are Mr. Hundert & Sedgwick, Mr. Hundert & Senator Bell, and Mr. Hundert & Charles Ellerby.

     In William Shakespeare's Hamlet, the character of Hamlet has many relationships with all characters. The theme of relationships is very strong in this play. A relationship is an association between two or more people. Hamlet has many of these associations with , Claudius, Ophelia, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Many of his relationships are just and unjust according to the character's feelings.

1. Throughout the story suspense is aroused and maintained excellently. This is achieved by the character the author creates. Mr. Martin is characterized as a neat and cautious man, who never took a smoke or a drink in his life. Our suspense is aroused when the author states that it has been “a week to the day since Mr. Martin had decided to rub out Mrs. Ulgine Barrows”. This arouses our suspense because we are told Mr. Martin is planning to murder this woman. The suspense is maintained with Mr. Martin’s thoughts. We as an audience are given his thoughts through the use of the 3rd person omniscient point of view. His thoughts are mostly on the issue on his dislike of Mrs. Barrows. Because of this, he

All the facts the prosecutor presents are valid and true, though unrelated to his case. From the prosecutor's point of view, Meursault is a “monster, a man without morals” (96). Even Meursault agrees that "what he was saying was plausible" (99). The reader, who knows all of Meursault’s thoughts, knows how absurd the prosecution’s accusations are. Throughout the trial, Camus explains that perception means everything, and there is no absolute truth.

The main character in the story is Sherlock Holmes; he is the hero of the book, a very important factor in a mystery book. The Victorians would have loved this character because he was not a part of the police force; he was a character that could be relied on, when the police force was so corrupt. Holmes’s life was his job, as the reader gets further into the story; they see that Holmes works for personal satisfaction, ’my profession is its own

This essay will touch upon both characters and elaborate on the idea of society alienating two brilliant minds.

Evans asserts that friendship is the most important but neglected themes in Hamlet, making his case through the close reading of relationships and interactions between characters. He analyzes nearly every exchange between characters who might be friends in chronological order, recognizing the complexities and double sidedness of the interactions. Through his analysis, he alerts readers to the vast number of interpretations that can be applied to these relationships. Evans only asserts one character, Horatio, as the a clear cut and unquestionably true friend in the play. By doing this, he highlights Hamlet’s isolation and questions the motives of other characters.

This paper aims to make an analysis of the short story entitled, “The Vendetta”, written by Guy de Maupassant. “Vendetta”, which means “revenge” in the English language, is the core of this short story, and the concept from which the main character depends upon in order to survive. The story revolved around the revenge of the Widow Saverini because of the death of her son Antoine Saverini. Antoine was killed by a man named, Nicolas Ravolati, who was the object of revenge of Antoine’s mother. The death of her son, and her plot for revenge made her restless and sleepless at nights, thus, motivating her to avenge the death of Antoine.

For a moment I had the ridiculous impression that they were there to judge me” (15). In this quotation Madame Meursault’s friends are positioned in such a way that they resemble a jury. This incident is a direct foreshadowing of Meursault’s murder trial which is paralleled in Part II. Meursault’s lack of emotion in both of these instances is brought up in Part II for his murder conviction. During his mother’s funeral, Meursault takes part in a few activities that to the reader seem quite unconventional and absurd. These include: smoking and drinking coffee at his mother’s vigil, showing no signs of mourning and beginning an affair with a woman the night after the funeral. The court uses these activities against him in his murder trial because they show disrespect and irrationality. Camus has purposely plotted these events and shows their importance through repetition to foreshadow their use in Meursault’s eventual

Firstly, our production’s primary theatrical aspect is our plot structure. We begin Woyzeck with scene twenty-nine. Not only does the stage directions describing Woyzeck’s character lend this scene to be the first, the policeman’s dialogue further supports this change. The policeman repeats the word “murder,” therefore, there is no mystery behind who was murdered (Marie) and who murdered her (Woyzeck). Rather, the mystery becomes why Woyzeck murders Marie. Our stasis includes scenes twenty-nine, two, three, one, four, five, and eight in that order. The stasis therefore sets up

This easy-going, pleasant hedonism is interrupted permanently by Meursault's murder of the Arab on the beach. Not only is he incarcerated, but also he must examine the reality behind the illusion of his trial and, ultimately, of his life. Introspection has not been his metier. It takes him a while to realize that the judge, the jury, the journalists, even his own lawyer, do not wish him well. Meursault finally realizes that he is going to be convicted, not because he killed an Arab but because he did not mourn his mother's death.

“A&P” by John Updike and “I Want to Know Why” by Sherwood Anderson are both fictional short stories in which there are epiphanies of the main characters that change their lives in a negative way. The epiphany presented in “A&P” is more abrupt and lacks information about the main character’s life following his decisions while the epiphany presented in “I Want to Know Why” is more drawn out with a more meaningful follow-up on the narrator’s life. Figurative language, a heavily used literary tool, is utilized in abundance in both short stories, and both Anderson and Updike’s stories use it to emphasize the epiphanies of the main characters. After reading the short stories “A&P” and “I Want to Know Why,” Anderson’s story had a more meaningful epiphany and a stronger use of literary devices such as tone shifts, stream of consciousness, and symbolism through the use of figurative language.
