    Bertram Cates Quotes

    IN DEPTH: As his jailer, Mr. Meeker, points out, Bertram Cates is not a criminal type. A quiet, unassuming twenty-four-year-old, Cates is innocent, naïve, and wondrous about the world—and he suffers emotionally as a result of the townspeople’s treatment of him. He struggles to stand up as an individual even as the crowd opposes his views and actions. Although he remains idealistic throughout Inherit the Wind, he often needs Drummond’s encouragement to persevere with his cause. Cates doubts himself at times, especially when Rachel pleads him to admit his guilt and beg forgiveness.…

    Mattie's Character In Ethan Frome By Edith Wharton

    Mattie had shown that she was passionate towards Ethan since she seemed to be very comfortable around him and marked him as trustworthy. Mattie would lean towards Ethan when she is frightened. One example is when a loud noise vibrated through the forest. She had “shrank closer to Ethan, and quickened her steps” (26). This shows trust among them since Mattie had instinctively moved towards Ethan. During frightening situations, Mattie showed that she would rely on Ethan to protect her. In addition, Mattie shows that same trust in Ethan when she destroys Zeena’s pickle dish. She completely believes that he would rectify that issue even without asking him his method: “Completely reassured, she shone on him through tear-hung lashes, and his soul swelled with pride as he saw how his tone subdued her. She did not even ask what he had done” (47). These reasons of trust and comfort had led to Mattie’s overall passion towards…

    Ethan Frome Theme Essay

    Both of Mattie’s parents had died, so she came to live with the Fromes. She became a caretaker of the house and Zeena. About a year into staying with the Fromes, Zeena decided to send Mattie away since she suspected that Mattie and her husband were having an affair. Ethan was extremely upset because Mattie did not have anywhere to go. Zeena won the argument, and Mattie was sent away. Ethan took Mattie back to the station where they confessed their love for each other. Mattie made a bold statement by saying, “we’d never have to leave each other any more” (Wharton 143). The two were standing by a coasting hill, and at the bottom of the hill was an enormous elm tree. Mattie had the idea to sled right into the tree so the two could truly be together forever. Ethan went along with the idea, but the couple failed with their plan. Mattie needed the Fromes, but she needed Ethan to love her back. Ethan gave her the feeling of rebellion and…

    Tess of the D'Urbervilles Paper

    The main relationship in the novel is between Tess and Angel. At certain points in the novel, they do have true feelings of love for each other; however, their feelings are undermined by each of their pasts. Angel thinks Tess is a "fresh and virginal daughter of Nature." (158) He then discovers about her relationship with Alec, and he rejects her. His rejection demonstrates his double standards, because he has just told Tess that he has had a relationship with a woman in London, which he believes is acceptable behavior. Tess does not reject him for this, but Angel, when told about Tess's past, rejects her completely for many years. Angel's choosing Tess to be his wife is a cruel irony, because he chooses her, based on a quality in her that he later believes she does not have. When he finds she is not the innocent girl he imagined, his love is not strong enough to overcome his judgment of her sin. "He could regard her in no other light than that of one who had practiced gross deceit upon him." (297) In the end, after the passing of time, Angel finds he is able to forgive Tess because he does love her deeply. He says, when he hears she has killed Alec, "‘I will not desert you! I will protect you by every means in my power, dearest love; whatever you may have done or not have done!'" (437) But by then, it is too late to enjoy a life together, because Tess has already committed a real sin in murdering Alec and is condemned to hang.…
