.... of his unfortunate life, as she paints a compassionate picture of him with a "look in his face that neither poverty nor physical suffering could have put there". We are led to feel pity for the man who, as a last resort, married Zeena, in an "unsuccessful attempt to escape the silence, isolation, and loneliness" of living a life where social acceptance was had at the cost of his own happiness. From the outset, Wharton creates warmth of feeling between readers and the character of Mattie. She creates an imagery of Mattie that emphasises all the qualities that she admires her .....

Without much of a growing economy, the Russian government became dependent on taxes from crude oil and other commodity exports to fund its operating budget. The hedge funds – the huge unregulated pools of private capital that search the globe for the best investments – were the transmission device from Russia to all the other arising markets in the world, particularly Brazil.

.... she could read well. Jane is actually extremely modern because she started reading as a little girl in the Reeds’ house. For example, before she and John got into a fight, Jane sat down by the window and began reading. “I returned to my book--Bewick’s History of British Birds... quite as a blank.--10” Another example of how Jane read as a child was when she read a book of Arabian tales after she got in a fight with Mrs. Reed. “I took a book--some Arabian tales; I sat down and endeavored to read.--40” This is one way Charlotte Bronte shows that Jane represents he .....

.... is referring to Macbeth's braveness in which his sword is covered in the hot blood of the enemy. After these few references to honour, the symbol of blood now changes to show a theme of treachery and treason. Lady Macbeth starts this off when she asks the spirits to "make thick my blood,".

Odysseus accepted help from a simple sheep herder in order to reclaim his home. Although these two heroes had similar adventures and shared similar qualities, they were very different. The first difference we notice between these two heroes is their lineage. Like most Greek heroes, Jason was a direct descendant of the gods. Odysseus on the other hand was not. He was a member of the Roya .....
