Andrea Gismond 9/25/12 World Lit Reason Vs Passion In the play Tartuffe by Jean-Baptiste Moliere‚ the characters within the story are mostly driven either by reason or by passion. The two characters that stand out the most as being either the most passionate or reasonable are the servant‚ Dorine and the father of the house‚ Orgon. The views of these two characters are completely opposite‚ which result in the arguing of the two throughout the story. Although Dorine is able to provide evidence

William Shakespeare’s Othello is a play that mostly revolves around jealousy‚ trust and revenge. Throughout most of Shakespeare’s plays‚ evil characters are not uncommon‚ but in my own opinion‚ Iago has to be one of if not the most - interesting. Even though Iago might be described by some as being just "pure evil" or even "intolerable"‚ the truth still remains that people will read deeper into the play just to see what Iago will do next. Through his words and actions‚ which are carefully thought

One cannot have a successful story without a villain. A villain helps to create conflict and a plot between characters‚ this is what builds a successful story. In the play Othello by William Shakespeare‚ Iago is the ultimate villain. He will do whatever it takes to ruin Othello’s life. Without Iago‚ Othello would not be the tragedy it is today‚ but just an empty romance without any conflict. Some may believe that Iago is a victim because he was blinded by his emotions to think with his conscience

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

“Life in the Iron Mills” by Rebecca Harding Davis is a story that provokes feminism as defined by Lerner within its characters. It is easiest to see this correspondence when you break Lerner’s definition down into its integral points. Namely‚ “the awareness of women that they belong to a subordinate group”‚ one that is deemed so by society‚ that women “must join with other women to remedy these wrongs”‚ and‚ finally‚ that women should “provide an alternate vision of societal organization” that better

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

His determination to show Jack reason ultimately leads to his downfall. Character Summarization: “The booing rose and died again as Piggy lifted the white‚ magic shell...’Which is better –to be a pack of painted Indians

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
