The main character, Cleofilas at the beginning of the story had a painted picture that all romances are just like the ones she saw on her television from back home.

The relationship between Mariam and Laila grows overtime into an unbreakable love. Mariam is a vulnerable character that experienced hardships and negativity throughout her life. Her reliance on faith and religion gave her hope. Laila however, has had a positive upbringing from modern parents. Her education is what made her a strong and intelligent girl. Their personalities contrast to bring the best out of each other. However at first, in fear of being overshadowed by Laila, Mariam says “If [Laila] thinks [she] can use [her] looks to get rid of me, [she is] wrong. [Mariam] was here first. [She] won't be thrown out” (225). As Mariam has never been a priority to anyone in her life she was very defensive over her role in the house. As jealousy embarked upon Mariam,
Hot white lightning flashed across the foreboding sky echoing in the clear blue eyes of the woman sitting, observing the gale before her. Penelope sat in her dark chambers, one candle lit on the table offering a cold warmth. Everything seemed dark to Penelope after the disappearance of Odysseus. She stood slowly, the pain of her loss bearing into her bones causing the slight deterioration of her physical and mental state. A goblet of wine was left untouched from when a servant left it to soothe the queen’s frayed nerves. Penelope’s mind was a tapestry woven with brilliance and ideas, but with time sprinting by after Odysseus left for Troy the tapestry had begun to unweave itself, a once brilliant pattern faded with age and longing for a ship
The imagery used in the story is to help exhibit the respect and admiration that the narrator has for Clarisa. An example of said admiration is when Clarisa arrives home from the parade for the Pope distraught and confused. “I combed her meringue hair high on her head, tied it with a ribbon, and then sat down to accompany her through this crisis, not knowing exactly what it was,” (Allende, 438). This gives the reader a clue about Clarisa’s age, as well as provides a brief description of Clarisa. This text also gives insight into the narrator’s feelings towards Clarisa, and how concerned she is for Clarisa’s well being. Throughout the story Allende hints at the fact that Clarissa is at an age where she has become more fragile and certain activities become too much for her body to handle. “She was exhausted when she reached the house, with the din of bells and cheering still ringing in her temples” (Allende, 438). This
Drea, seated across from Joan at the Cup and Sword Tavern, grinned at her friend. Drea was thrilled to learn of Joan’s pregnancy and grateful for her friendship. It had been a lonely few years, raising Wallace without a father, but Drea’s new relationships with Alis, Carina, and Joan had drawn her out of isolation. This was the first time in years Drea had gone out for an evening meal with a friend, though she experienced a dull pang of guilt for leaving Wallace with the neighbor.
Cleofilas feels that she could not do much, but she becomes hopeful about her situation. For instance, Cleofilas has to remind herself why she loves her husband when she is changing the baby’s Pampers, or when she is mopping the bathroom floor (Cisneros, 1991, p. 249). Cisneros emphasizes that many women who are controlled and abused often feel that they need to remind themselves why they married their husbands. Cisneros points out that when an individual loves someone they should not have to ask themselves why, nor worry so much about getting hurt.

Contrast is one of the artistic techniques of composition poem at all levels – structural, semantic, compositional, ideological and aesthetic. The girl performs a ceremony in honor of St. Agnes, which, according to legend, should help her to dream her betrothed. Like Shakespeare's Romeo, a boy secretly sneaks into the castle of his beloved, both of them are united, and together they secretly leave the castle at stormy night. The tender is replaced with a tempest, quietness with loudness and the world of two people is changed by the world of lovers against the world. Like Shakespeare, in the history of Porphyro and Madeline the fantasy is mixed with reality, it is adorned with a passion for life. On the one side, there is a beauty of women, lovemaking, moonlight, refracted through the bright colors of stained glass, aroma of overseas fruit and treats. Meanwhile, the reality is symbolized in the poem with a life and horrors of feasting
In The Eve of St. Agnes, Keats finds out a happy alternative of Isabella, Lamia, and the other darker odes linking with death or failure. The major theme of this poem is the celebration of human love and as the representative of critics it is an “imaginative projection of young love” (Stillinger, 1999, p. 38). There is no other way of reading the poem than of an intense, happy, achieved love that makes it the contrast of Isabella. It is a romantic love which has the heavenly experience and through Keats’ magic Madeline and Porphyro fell they are in heaven. The poem tells the story of Madeline and her lover Porphyro who are deeply in love but their families are against of it. Madeline is practicing a St. Agnes' Eve ritual to fulfill her dream

Furthermore, in the public space of the city, albeit this time La Plata, Lala feels lost even though the corner was bustling with people; the spectacle of the first lunar eclipse of the century did not distract her from her discomfort. The next day Lala, who was in a service station a block from the Institute, ``felt like she was frozen and it wasn't because of the weather'' (99). Yet again the repercussions that spatial divisions in the city have on Lala are demonstrated; because she does not feel like she belongs in the city she feels lost within it. Furthermore, her relationship with the public realm is demonstrated when Lala was getting picked up by the dog trainer she knows:
The Rage of Achilleus He was ruthless and cruel, blinded by the sight of attaining glory before death and by gaining revenge for loved ones that were killed in battle. The rage of Achilleus plays a significant role in displaying many different aspects of humanity and its imperfections. From one perspective, Achilleus is a ruthless character forced to choose to die a glorious hero or live life in obscurity. From another viewpoint, Achilles is a symbol of human emotion and sadness after which he soon realizes the effects of his fatal flaw.
This leads to Claudius deciding to try and kill
Holmes represents his failure and his condemnation. When Septimus sees Lucrezia break down and cry, he feels nothing. This makes him “[descend] another step into the pit” (90) and give in to his lack of emotion. Lucrezia sees she is losing her husband, so she calls in Dr. Holmes, and is told “[t]here [is] nothing whatever the matter” (90) with Septimus. While this is a relief, at first, to Lucrezia, this signifies to Septimus that “the verdict of human nature on such a wretch was death” (91).
