    Lady Macbeth Quote Analysis

    "Look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under it (Act 1, Scene 5, Page 3)." This quote was said by Lady Macbeth and I found it interesting because, this quote is actually being compared to Lady Macbeth instead of Macbeth. The flower is being compared to her by how she treated other people. For example, when the king came to her house/castle, she actually treated him well. Also she was being compared to the serpent because, she actually want to kill the king. So the quote is saying that Lady Macbeth is nice and kind on the outside, but evil on the inside.…

    Lord Of The Flies Quote Analysis

    First of all, the government doesn’t always protect the patriot and defend the patriot the same way the patriot does for the Government. This is evident in numerous moments in American history and it is also shown all throughout the novel,\ “Lord of the Flies”. Simon was a very devoted and efficient member of the island community. He often listens and follows what Ralph and Piggy say. Although, this sense of loyalty and trust that Simon had toward Ralph ultimately lead to his demise. One of the major issues that the community of children had in the island was the constant fear of the beastie, an imaginary monster that lives in the jungle, that cause the “Littluns” to have nightmares. Simon finds out there isn’t a beast, instead it was a dead skydiver. He runs back to inform everyone that there is no beast but his community turns on him and kills him (quote). When the oldest of the community realize what they have done, they covered up his death by dragging his body into the sea and convince the littluns that he was the beast by saying "I expect the beast disguised himself”. Simon died trying to help his community,…

    Macbeth Fate Quotes Analysis

    To begin with, in the play Macbeth. It is difficult to avoid fate, because the protagonist Macbeth is directly given the approach of fate by the witches through a seductive mean. This realization was quoted by the witches, they said,"[a]ll hail, Macbeth Hail to thee, thane of Glamis/all hail Macbeth Hail to thee, thane of Cawdor!/ All hail, Macbeth Hail to thee, thou shall be King hereafter!" (Shakespeare 1.3.49-51). This quote demonstrates that the witches are helping out Macbeth to give him future information. This quote could have been avoidable if Macbeth was not told that he will become the thane of Glamis and Cawdor, because him knowing the future it allows him to plan events that will allow him to become king faster. Macbeth started…

    Macbeth: Significant Quotes from Scene IV

    Significance: The purpose of this well known quote is to communicate to the audience the witches’ intentions. The witches chant this line all together over a concoction they are preparing and the purpose of this is to increase the dramatic tension and visually portray how purely evil they can be. The translation of this line is to increase the hardships and misfortunes of the mortals (human beings) around them. The witches repeat this line thrice in this scene; the number three associating with evil and the witches clearly intending to want to increase the hardships of mankind for their mere satisfaction and entertainment.…

    The Author to Her Book Tpcastt

    The first effect of the birth imagery is to present the speaker's book as a reflection of what she sees in herself. Unfortunately, the "child" displays blemishes and crippling handicaps, which represent what the speaker sees as deep faults and imperfections in herself. She is not only embarrassed but ashamed of these flaws, even considering them "unfit for light". Although she is repulsed by its flaws, the speaker understands that her book is the offspring of her own "feeble brain", and the lamentable errors it displays are therefore her own.…

    Esther Greenwood's Distorted Sexual Views

    This time she wouldn’t tell anyone for the fear of being put to the “death machine” or rather “emptiness machine” with secret knives wrenching out her child. This time I’ll do it by myself, squatting, on old newspapers in a corner alone; or on leaves, dry leaves, a heap of them, that’s cleaner. The baby will slip out easily as an egg, a kitten, and I’ll kick it off and bite the cord, the blood returning to the ground where it belongs; the moon will be full, pulling. In the morning I will be able to see it: it will be covered with shining fur, a god, I will never teach it any words.…

    The Lord Of The Flies Quote Analysis

    Published in 965, Joseph Krutch’s article, Can We Survive the Fun Explosion, exemplifies man’s capacity for evil. Making the specific claim, “when pleasure becomes the summon bonum, the pursuit of happiness may be getting out of hand,” he underlies the idea that every man has evil within them. William Golding makes the same claim in his novel, The Lord of the Flies. To portray this claim, The Lord of The Flies places a group of school children on an abandoned island. As they fail to maintain a civilized order and their innocence, it becomes clear that several of the boys ae capable of evil. Golding uses he literary devices of characterization, diction, and…

    Macbeth Inside Quotes

    In the play Macbeth, one notices many times where one can jump to conclusions about what someone says or their actions. “Things are not always as they seem; the first appearance deceives many.” This quote is said by Plato. This quote is very broad and one thing that one can take from it is that one shall not judge a book by its cover. In today’s time period people tend to jump to conclusions about someone or something. In William Shakespeare’s tragedy Macbeth, the theme things are not always as they seem is shown through Macbeth, Lady Macbeth and the witches.…

    Macbeth's Ruthless Quotes

    Macbeth is King Duncan’s cousin, a courageous warrior and a loyal nobleman. He comes back from the battle against the Norweyans with his new title, Thane of Cawdor, since he defeats the former Thane of Cawdor, the traitor. He then meets with the three weird sisters and the sisters tell him about his “bright” and “successful” future, the sisters tells him that he will become king and Banquo’s descendants will become king. This awakens Macbeth’s inner ambition and leads to Macbeth’s downfall. Macbeth becomes more and more ruthless and selfish after each crime he commits, and in the meanwhile, he falls deeper and deeper and eventually hits the ground and could never come back up again.…

    Analysis of the Setting in Domby and Son by Charles Dickens

    The image of two gaunt trees combines visual and audial effects played by the onomatopoeia (‘rattled rather than rustled’) and colour adjectives ‘blackened’, ‘smoke-dried’. This image symbolizes death and the absence of emotions. The distinctive simile between the ‘chandelier’ and ‘vault’, expressed by comparison ‘a monstrous tear’, stresses the connotation of humidity which is connected with the bleak atmosphere of the passage.…
