Even the poorest and most broken-spirited people are sometimes liable to pride and vanity. In Dostoyevsky's novel, Crime and Punishment, Katerina’s insanity and pride serve to highlight her unstable behavior for the purpose of revealing how she is close to her death. Katerina’s insanity exposes how her unstable behavior shows death is upon her. While Sonia was once describing Katerina as strong, she switched thoughts by explaining how Katerina’s, “Mind was unhinged. [Sonia then continues with how

struggling to control.". Another supportive quote of her loneliness is on page 31 when Hemingway wrote, “trying to send some brain waves to this outsized boy...". Finally, another big sign of Abby’s' loneliness is when Hemingway wrote, "Right away my vanity was kicking up. I was glad this young man, who had a long, lank, handsome face, a little like Sam actually, had settled himself at our nicest household possession, which was this table. And I hoped he understood the meaning of the blue tarpaper on

Many times in life, people set unrealistic expectations for themselves or for other people. This is not a very wise thing to do because people often feel disappointed and embarrassed for getting their hopes up so high. One good example of this is the narrator in the short story, Araby, by James Joyce. In the story Araby, a young man develops an infatuation with his friend, Magan’s, sister.

The play “The Importance of Being Earnest”, by Oscar Wilde, has the two main characters, Jack and Algernon, lie about their true identity. Besides creating comedic shenanigans for everyone involved, this lie communicates to us as the audience core concepts that can still be applied today. One concept is that love can be vain.

In the poem, Thomas Hardy writes, “In a solitude of the sea...deep from human vanity, and the Pride of Life that planned her, stilly couches she…” he creates a clear image for the reader where the ship is basically deep in the ocean somewhere out in a deserted area where there’s no human interaction whatsoever. In the third stanza

The expression “I would die to look that good” may be more literal then we thought. The word narcissism derives from the greek story or Narcissus, a thespian who was the one of the blue nymph Leirope, and the river god Cephisus. Narcissus was so extravagantly beautiful that anyone who looked at him would fall in love, including himself. By post adolescence he had already rejected hundreds of suiters of both genders. He had extreme hubris in his good looks and he grew to detest anyone that loved

Matthew Lewis’ The Monk differs from Ann Radcliffe’s The Italian in its portrayal of women. Since both The Monk and The Italian feature prominent female religious leaders, comparing the different ways The Monk and The Italian portray this specific group of women sheds light on each author’s attitude toward female agency. The latter refers to the ability to exercise control in pursuing individual goals. Both The Monk and The Italian depict tyrannical head nuns abusing their agency. However, the horrific
