immensely from that of Dr. Jekyll who participates in charity work and has an upstanding role in society. Mr. Hyde creates a great amount of sympathy in the book. The first feelings of sympathy come within the first chapter. You feel sympathy for the young girl that Mr. Hyde tramples in the middle of the street for no apparent reason at all. The reason the sympathy is felt is because Mr. Hyde feels no remorse for what he did. “I am naturally helpless. No gentleman but wishes to avoid a scene.” (Stevenson

Death Of a Salesman Arthur Miller does manage to engage our sympathies with Willy in the first act of the play to a certain extent. He does this in many ways such as using Willy’s speech‚ his troubled mind‚ the way other characters treat him and by using themes like the past. To begin with‚ Willy Loman seems like a normal‚ yet exhausted businessman.

Boo - Who? You know that old man in every life based movie that no one seems to understand or talk to? Well‚ in To Kill a Mockingbird‚ by Harper Lee‚ not only is the “old man” of the story misunderstood‚ but labeled a killer. This sets up an odd foundation for the relationship between the children and Boo at the start of the book. This relationship could be described at best as terrified.
