The Lonely Lady

about Rezia is not her husband’s insanity or death but the unfriendly manner in which the world treated her. She suffered silently and alone. Even her husband Septimus for whom she left her relatives and country was indifferent to her. “She was very lonely, she was very unhappy! She cried for the first time since they were married. Far away he heard her sobbing; he heard it accurately, he noticed it distinctively; he compared it to a piston thumping. But he felt nothing. His wife was crying, and he

Snow, one of Earth’s most beautiful, and ugliest, creations, is a wintertime topic that brings with it mixed emotions, opinions and heated debates. Some people love it, others not so much. It can bring joy, happiness and laughter, but can bring just as much destruction, danger and misery. When it first touches the ground, fresh, pure, unaffected, it’s like a lovely white blanket that covers our world. However, once it becomes black, mushy and hard, we get tired of seeing it, hoping the sun melts

Texts that deal with the theme of conflict make us think. Conflict is the centre of all dramatic development in the three texts I will be discussing. These are Macbeth, by William Shakespeare, of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, and O Brother Where Art Thou’, directed by Joel Coen. There are many forms of conflict expressed in these texts. These include both emotional and physical conflict. Conflict has been brought about in many ways throughout these texts. Most of which has been fuelled by inner

Imagine a machine in which a person can experience whatever they wish. A person can undertake the craziest things. They can climb Mount Everest, swim in the ocean, and go skydiving without having money or time as a hindrance. Or imagine there is a medicine that causes a person to be much less aware of pain, both theirs and others. The pain experienced with a broken bone, or with healing from psychological hurts would no longer be present. I will be arguing that such a machine or such a medicine would

in his sophomore year who is a bit of an alcoholic. Lorraine is a smart serious sophisticated young lady who kind of got dragged into the Mr.Pignati thing but, ended up enjoying the experience ( for a while. She didn't like when he died, and she felt like it was her and John´s fault.) Lorraine felt more comfortable at his house than at her own. Mr. Pignati Angelo was a fun natured, loving, lonely old man. He misses his wife and is so excited to have new friends (John and Lorraine.)

other people around her and has a rude awakening where she becomes self-aware of who she is. Mansfield develops the character of Miss Brill through indirect characterization. One way this is done is developing Miss Brill to show that she is a lonely, older woman who inserts herself into people’s lives by “listening as though she didn’t listen” (Mansfield, Paragraph 3). Through her actions, the audience learns that this is how she tries to fit into her surroundings, saying that she’s an actress

Lady Macbeth first appears in Act 1 Scene 5, in which she is reading a letter her husband has sent her. In this letter he professes the witches’ prophecy, and when Lady Macbeth has finished reading it, we are exposed to her character through a monologue. This monologue allows the audience to develop an awareness for her thoughts and feelings. The mere suggestion of her husband’s entitlement to the throne, makes her jump to the conclusion that he will be, “and shalt be what thou art promised”. The

The Victorian Era The Victorian era was when Queen Victoria ruled England from 1837 to 1901. This was a time when it culturally changed from rationalism from the prior era (Georgian period) toward “romanticism and mysticism with regard to religion, social values, and arts.” This was also a time of peace in international relationships and economic, colonial and industrial growth. The two most important in politics were the prime ministers Gladstone and Disraeli. Gladstone was a liberal and Disraeli

dress and camisole, young lady! You’ll grow up waiting on tables if somebody doesn’t change your ways – a Finch waiting on tables at the O.K. Café – hah!” (135). Mrs. Dubose has been described as “the meanest old woman who ever lived” so it is not surprising that she would judge Scout like this. Regardless of her character, it is unseemly of her to claim that Scout will amount to nothing. The fact that Scout does not usually wear dresses or drink tea like a typical lady in her time, does not mean

I guess it's to protect our frail ladies from sordid cases like Tom's. Besides," Atticus grinned, "I doubt if we'd ever get a complete case tried—the ladies'd be interrupting to ask questions’”(Lee 296). Women in the 1930’s were viewed as delicate, and men thought that they needed to be
