the main or only tragically flawed character within the play. However‚ in actuality‚ the play contains many other characters that possess varying severities of imperfection‚ some of which put the shortcomings of Hamlet‚ the title character of Hamlet‚ to shame. Despite the tragically flawed nature of Hamlet’s character‚ other characters in the play are clearly more flawed in comparison to Hamlet. As a result of this character’s imperfection‚ many of the characters within the play Hamlet are considered

I chose the book Poppleton‚ written by Cynthia Rylant and Illustrated by Mark Teague to complete my body biography on. I analyzed Poppleton the pig to be a very caring and kind hearted character. Poppleton was always putting others first in the chapter book and when he made them feel bad or sad; he would apologize for his mistakes and make a humorous situation out of it. Poppleton also would be caring because his friend was very sick and Poppleton did everything that he could in order to help his

What did you like about this script? The writer offers a unique and quirky‚ character-driven script‚ which has the potential to be wildly unpredictable with a mild bit of slapstick humor that I enjoyed. Though Pamela seemed to take the front seat in the narrative‚ I found that her daughter Syd’s character seemed to be the most agreeable. Her character felt as if she were the physical embodiment of the audience being forced to spend Thanksgiving with their family as all of their foolery behavior

I have chosen the Pardoner to expand on. In the prologue this character is described as having shoulder length‚ thin‚ yellow hair. He had bulging eyes and no facial hair. This might have been part of the reason that Chaucer judged him to be effeminate‚ describing him as “a gelding or a mare.” The pardoner is a member of the church‚ with the job of selling absolutions to the members of the church. This character could be a representation of one of the great controversies of the time regarding the

characterization‚ conflict‚ and themes. To start‚ the author uses characterization to reveal a lot about the main character through her actions‚ but her thoughts give more of a look into why she makes the decisions she does. An example of this is‚ "It’s such a joke! Peeta and I going along pretending to be friends !" (92). This is important because whenever Katniss‚ the main character‚ shows affection towards Peeta‚ the boy chosen from their district to be in the games‚ her thoughts let the reader

Ernest Hemingway – Hills Like White Elephants According to the Oxford English Dictionary‚ a white elephant has a more figurative meaning: "A burdensome or costly possession.

At first when I read through Hemingway’s short story‚ ‘Hills Like White Elephants’‚ I thought that it was merely a conversation

Pilate has a recurring motif of representing a pilot‚ in likeness to her name. This is a part of her character and choices to view the name not as it’s literal meaning‚ but how she wants it to mean. This translates to her role as a mentor to Milkman in obvious ways‚ as a pilot‚ a guide. Pilate asks herself three questions to determine what’s important to her in life “When am I happy and when am I sad and what is the difference. What do I need to know to stay alive. What is true in the world.” In
