.... landscape represents society, cold and emotionless. The curtains, representing Jane's passionate nature, symbolize how Jane's fiery personality alienate her from society. A short while later, John Reed, representing a male-dominated society, enters the room in search of Jane. When John attempts to assert his dominance over Jane, she is unable to control her passionate nature and retaliates. As punishment for giving in to her fiery side, Jane is locked inside the red-room. Obviously, the color red is of importance here. Red is the color of fire and heat, and represen .....

.... and important than Kay, Sir Ector and the other people who had always 'ruled' him. I think that the Wart was a better person to Kay and although he may not have been superior to Kay, he certainly had a better personality and was kinder than Kay. With Merlyn's 'education', the Wart learned not only how to lead well, but also to be a better person, and Merlyn taught him much about how to treat other people with respect and to relate better with them. When the Wart meets Robin Wood and Maid Marion, he learns through Marion that women are no different to men and should be treat .....

.... art and expression of variation from the society existed. People must face their problems and overcome them, and love requires commitment and is greatly appreciated. John was rather a Renaissance man trapped in a world where none of his necessities in life existed. He was disgusted at their orgy-porgies, their belief of take, take, take not give, give, give. Total happiness did not exist to John in a world which lacked expression of the arts. It was rather total torment. Throughout the novel John continues to fight and believe for what he believes in while the surround .....

.... hung if they took the large sum of money home, because “People would call us robbers—a strong gang”. This shows how easily it was to get killed back then, one false accusation or claim that was believed by some would lead to death. Also represented in the tale are the moral codes of conduct that were followed during the time. Since the main characters were drunken rioters, we would presume that almost all the moves they made were ‘evil’ in a sense. They were constantly drinking and cursing at each other, disrespecting their elders, being extremely greedy, and then eventually mu .....

.... a vicious assault on his friend Gus. Bigger commits both of the brutal murders not in rage or anger, but as a reaction to fear. His typical fear stems from being caught in the act of doing something socially unacceptable and being the subject of punishment. Although he later admits to Max that Mary Dalton's behavior toward him made him hate her, it is not hate which causes him to smother her to death, but a feeble attempt to evade the detection of her mother. The fear of being caught with a white woman overwhelmed his common sense and dictated his actions. When he attempted .....

.... castle are crowded with what seem to be peasants who are obviously in different states of peril. When Oedipus exits the castle into the courtyard to confront the peasants the actor playing the role does an excellent job of portraying the cocky swagger and demeanor that Sophocles seemed to bestow upon him on the page. Although we quickly notice that none of the actors are wearing masks, which would have been the case had this been a production that was taking place in the time of the Ancient Greeks, which brings up another point. There are a large number of actors in this pla .....

.... behave like the typical man or woman. Throughout the Sexton's fairytale children are treated much differently than the typical child is treated. All of the adults in the story treat children as though they are property. They use them for what they are good for. "Little child, Little nubkin, Sweet as fudge,You are my blitz. I will spit on you for luck, For you are better than money" (Sexton, 101) In this quote Sexton is saying how parents have children in order to take advantage of the benefits of having children. If you have children society treats you much differently. .....

.... and seized her by the shoulder; anger/ Doubled his strength, he threw to the floor”(510-511). Beowulf is extremely loyal to his people. “Proclaiming that he’d go to that famous king, Would sail across the sea to Hrothgar, Now when help was needed”(114-116) describes Beowulf’s reason for his journey to Hrothgar to save his people from Grendel. In another line, Beowulf is described as: “that noble protector of all seamen”(596). This proves he really cares about the likes of other people and what happens to them. Another example of his loyalty is when he is battling the .....
