When he attempted to murder Bessie, his motivation came from intense fear of the consequences of "letting" he .....

class one may certainly feel that an intelligent, passionate and
opinionated young woman such as Jane Eyre should deserve and be capable of

complete disregard for her feelings or pr .....

In The Heat Of The Night
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 393.... arrested Sam Wood Virgil also proved him innocent. Even though Gillespie didn’t like to be proven wrong by anyone (none less a Negro) he respected Virgil for his great detective work. At one point in the novel Gillespie and Tibbs shake hands and I think that was the high point of this mutual respect. Virgil didn’t respect Gillespie that much in the beginning and most of the middle of this story but in the end Virgil respected Gillespie. I think it was good that Virgil did not respect Gillespie because Gillespie was using Virgil for his scapegoat. At the end .....
