My Foolish Heart

As seen in the play Mid Summer Night's Dream, there are many different ways in which foolishness is present throughout the comedy. The city of Athens, represents law and order. It signifies the human struggle to suppress irrational tendencies and foolish behavior. It prevents the Athenian couples from showing their true emotions for one another and keeps the magical fairy world separate from civilization. However, the enchanted forest is where emotions start to take over. It leads the characters

Roll Of Thunder Hear My Cry by Mildred Taylor uses Cassie Logan as a durable and courageous girl that will fight in what she believes in. Cassie proves her courage by standing up for herself against Lillian Jean Simms,also willing to fight whoever heart papa,and standing up for Little Man when he got switched. Cassieś actions proved that she is a outspoken girl that won´t give up in what

then ignores his son's recommendations on the basis of age and seniority as follows:  "You consider it right for a man of my years and experience to go to a school a boy?" (Scene 3, Line 95).  His anger intensifies until he explodes at his son, "Fool, adolescent fool!" (Scene 3, Line 114).  At that point, Creon was far too immersed in his own foolish pride to recognize his perverseness. His hubris had reduced him into a raving lunatic only capable of destructive behavior.

In attempt to restore his honor, Achilles “raged on... day after day he ground his heart out, waiting there, yearning…” (1.581, 585-586). Agamemnon refuses

foolishness, arrogance, and hatefulness.     In other words, Odysseus is very foolish throughout the book. Homer, book 10. p.916 says, “...while Odysseus is sleeping the men open the bag, thinking it contains gold, and silver. The bad wind thus escapes and blow the ships back to Aeolus’ island. The King refused to help them again, believing not that their voyage has been cursed by the gods.”  Consequently, Odysseus was foolish by not telling his crew about the winds and being selfish being stealth about

said “Every impulse of feeling should be guided by reason” (A Quote from Pride and Prejudice). Unlike Jane Austen, the characters in the famous play by William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet do not have a guided reason therefor resulting in their foolish impulse. In Romeo and Juliet, two families of the same rank are enemies and have never gotten along, Capulet and Montague. Capulet and Lady Capulet have a young daughter named Juliet while the Montague family has a son named Romeo. At first sight

women since their marriage. Gatsby is so in love with Daisy, he asked Nick to assist him get close to Daisy. Throughout the story, Gatsby had many conflicts because of Daisy and took blame at the end, is he really heroic or a foolish man? In my opinion, Gatsby is a foolish person because he spends money on parties and for his lover. At the beginning of the story, we know that Gatsby loves to spend money on parties, but what reason he does so? A greater understanding of Gatsby spends on parties to

to start thinking about my future and just about life in general. As I got older, I realized that I really should take some of these lessons to heart, because these people were very experienced in life and there words would end up benefiting me. Now that I look back I actually should have listened to those people when I was younger considering how problematic I am today. Though I’ve been through a lot, everything I’ve been through has gotten me to be successful personally.

characters truly outstanding. I believe Severus Snape and Sydney Carton are universally good characters. Some may believe it is foolish to compare a timeless and classic novel to a modern story of wizards and magic. Many people dismiss the Harry Potter series entirely, deeming it childish. However, both of these stories have beautifully written characters that I hold dear to my heart. Sure, at first, it is understandable and easy to assume that they are cold, distant, and unlikeable, yet throughout their
