Why Is Lady Auley Evil

Atwood opens her speech using colloquial language. The informal nature of her language makes her speech more accessible for the audience and the humour associated with the colloquial phrases engaging. It sets the casual atmosphere in which the speech is delivered.

Characterization plays a major role in the impact of the text. The main character Audley is depicted as an evil woman who killed her first husband without remorse and who threatens her new husband. Audley threatens her husband by explaining to him what she has done to ex-husband, who happened the treated her as he is now treating her. In other words she implied that he can possibly end up like her ex-husband, if he does not change the way he

The different side of Arthur Radley is he was very mysterious. Being locked away in your own basement by your own father. He was locked for several years almost acting like a ghost occasional times he would leave his house. No one knew

Salem Witch Trials Abigail Williams is a cruel and selfish person who always wants what she wants, and for many reasons she is to blame for the Salem Witch Trials. First off to show how cruel she is, when they were dancing and ‘conjuring’ spirits in the woods with tituba she tried to kill Elizabeth Proctor with a curse. The reason she did that is because she fancies John and does not want anyone but her to be able to have him, including his own wife, this is one example of how she thinks about her and herself only no matter what cost. Although John had an affair with Abigail seven months prior he and Elizabeth had worked things out and were happy once again. Another reason for her doing this to try and get John is when she was younger her parents were killed by indians in front of her, so you could say that John

Arthur Radley, also known as Boo Radley, is the children's childhood mystery man. The rumors circled the entire neighborhood and the absurdity of them ranged from watching people at night to eating raw squirrels and cats. Scout, Jem, and their friend Dill took a special interest in Boo Radley, but what they did not know was that Boo Radley was watching their lives unfold. He served as their protector and even provided gifts to the children to get them through the hardships they went through. ¨Summer, and he watched his children's heart break. Autumn again, and Boo's children needed him.¨(Lee, 374) Despite the horrendous rumors that the children believed about Radley, he is an empathetic person and did not judge them for believing what they believe and saves the children's lives. Empathy was also shown towards Boo Radley from an unexpected character, Mr. Heck Tate, the Maycomb sheriff. ¨...Mr. Finch, taking the one man who's done you and this town a great service an' draggin' him with his shy way into the limelight--to me, that's a sin.¨(Lee,369-370) After saving Atticus's children, Mr. Heck Tate knew that the town would not leave Boo Radley in peace, and decides to change the story to keep Boo Radley out of the limelight. Empathy was carefully conveyed in the character of Boo Radley, and Mr. Heck

Miss Merriweather talks about how Mrs. Roosevelt and the others “up there” were being hypocrites in trying to accept the black people and live along with them. “At least we don’t have the deceit to say to ‘em yes you’re as good as we are but stay away from us. Down here we just say you live your way and we’ll live ours.” (313) Through irony, Lee is able to show how the women are blinded by their own prejudiced mindsets. The view that the missionary circle women have towards the black people leads them to blindly call Mrs. Roosevelt a hypocrite, even though they are themselves being hypocritical in trying to coexist with them. Instead of trying to live along side and interact with black people, the women are blinded by their narrow-mindedness to the point where they can’t see that what Mrs. Roosevelt is doing is beneficial in accepting black people as equals. Other than racial intolerance, the children also have a simple prejudice against Boo Radley. One example of this is when Jem gives Dill a “description” of Boo Radley based on previous biased ideas. “There was a long jagged scar that ran across his face; what teeth he had were yellow and rotten; his eyes popped, and he drooled most of the time.” (16) This shows how prejudice about how Boo Radley looks and acts leads to ignorance and blindness in actually knowing the truth about him. This biased mindset is observable in the children, because they are brought up in a

The narrator is portraying a woman who is looked down upon because of her mental illness, but women at the time were often seen as childish or too emotional. “Then he took me in his arms called me a blessed little goose,” (Gilman 5). The narrator’s husband, John, treats her almost like a father would treat a daughter. The narrator is belittled because of her inability to act like women at the time were expected to. “Victorian values stressed that women were to behave demurely and remain with in the domestic sphere,” (Wilson 6). During the 19th century, women were expected to simply care for the children and clean the house. Most of the time, women who aspired to do more than that were not considered respectable wives. “Because the narrator is completely dependent on her husband and is allowed no other role than to be a wife and a mother, she represents the secondary status of women during the 19th century,” (Wilson 5).

Alison defies one's expectations. Described by the narrator as a church-going woman nonpareil, she presents herself unflatteringly in her prologue. Blinding herself to her immorality with her verbose diatribe, she interprets the scriptures, classical literature, and mythology to suit her immediate needs. By interpreting Alison's tale as wish fulfillment, however, one can grasp for a handle to her motives, hopes, and agenda. The hag exploits the knight as a means to an end, to be young and beautiful. As she gets older, Alison's fading features will not sustain her narcissism. To love herself, she must be beautiful, even if only in the eyes of her next husband.

Mr. Radley is a shy, kind man who has never harmed a soul is constantly misjudged by society. He is referred to as a mockingbird because of his innocence. His innocence is shown when he tries to become friends with scout and Jem by leaving them gifts. His innocents also comes out when he saves Jem and Scout from Bob ewell. Scout knows it would be a sin to bring him to trial for the death of Mr. Bob Ewell, because hurting Mr.Radley would be like “shootin’ a mockingbird”(Lee 276).

She was not only physically ugly, but she did not treat her husbands with respect or dignity either. She would beat her husbands, if she felt the need to. If she in return would get beaten, she would gain some love for her husbands. In fact her fifth husband, Johnny, routinely beat her, and she loved and respected him most of all, “He struck me, still can ache, along my row of ribs…but…I think I loved him best, I’ll tell no lie.”

Furthermore Abigail has shown she can not be trusted. For example, she lied about conjuring spirits in the woods and when the other girls said they should tell the truth she told them they would be hanged so we have to lie. She would say are make any one tell a lie to stay out of trouble. She accused others of witchcraft

To Kill a Mockingbird takes place in Maycomb, a small town hit by the Great Depression. The families in the town are stereotyped by their past generations. People in the town believe that heritage is an important part of your character if your family has a history of violence, addiction, laziness, etc. people will see you as such. One person stereotyped is Boo Radley. Throughout the book, he’s seen as a dangerous and threatening person, but we soon learn this is not the truth.

Arthur Radley is a sweet and giving man, who grew up under unfortunate circumstances. He is seen as a gentle and innocent mockingbird. His parents destroyed his

Macbeth is Shakespeare’s shortest play containing 28 scenes in total. Of these, Lady Macbeth appears in or is referred to in 11 scenes. In the last two scenes, she is briefly discussed by Macbeth and the doctor, and then she contributes nothing more than a cry off-stage, and in two other scenes, she has a total of seven lines. This means she is on stage for barely one-third of the play, yet she ranks as one of Shakespeare’s greatest female villains and one of the most notorious female villains in Western literature. In a well-structured essay, account for the power of Lady Macbeth as a character and as a villain.

One of the females that has the most flaws compared to the other women is Abagail. Evidently, she is portrayed as being the antagonist in the play. From the way Miller displays Abigail, she is shown to be a prevaricator, thief, and a guileful person.
