.... /… Bold was her face, handsome, and red in hue. / A worthy woman all her life…(31)" These passages depict a woman who has a normal physical appearance and who is good at making clothes, a typical female ability. The general prologue does not show the strong willed, intelligent, independent woman that the Wife of Bath is. The Wife of Bath only reveals this in her own prologue. Chaucer does not go into much detail about the Wife of Bath because he only reveals what he sees. The Wife of Bath Contrary to this, Chaucer brings to life the Squire by his description .....

.... think of him. The more obsessed he becomes with Kurtz, the more he sets himself up for the horrible reality of what his new idol was truly made of. Upon reaching Kurtz's station, Marlow¦s disillusion begins to set in. He is greeted by an English-speaking Russian whom he takes for a man who on the surface is deceant level-headed person, but after short conversation it is apparent to Marlow that he is talking with a disturbed individual, but that was not what bothered Marlow. Hearing of and seeing the acts committed by Kurtz made Marlow uneasy, and even afraid. It .....

.... to listen to him. He yearned for someone to listen to his ideas without asking questions: when he suggested moving the fire to the beach, he just wanted a ship passing by to see them. Piggy mimicked adults, he did not run about in a savage nature, he was good. Being the only boy that wasn't violent, shows how diverse Piggy was from the other boys on the island. "I got the conch I tell you" Piggy screamed in attempt to gain the boys' lost attention, "I tell you I got the conch." Good finally prevailed and Piggy gained the boys' attention. Never once did Pig .....

.... that his whole life was contaminated by the meager existence of the treasure. The decease of his son, and the tension between Juana, his wife, and him, triggered Kino’s breakdown. Because Kino was exceedingly possessed by the prosperity the pearl might possibly produce for him, he even assaulted Juana, as a result of her recognizing that the pearl and the greed it caused was gradually diminishing Kino and her community’s lucidness. Although Kino assumed that selling the pearl would improve his family’s level of affluence; his dreams, and goa .....

.... Bernard, though, is flawed according to his culture on the inside and out. “’He’s so ugly!’…’And then so small.’ Fanny made a grimace; smallness was so horribly and typically low-caste’” (46). Bernard’s looks pushed him to be an outsider. His physical insufficiencies cause him to be different mentally.

.... men, Judy’s personality leaves quite a bit to be desired. She is a very arrogant self-centered person, whose philosophy in life is, “do every thing for me”. She knows that these men who such desire her will sacrifice life and limb for her, and she not only excepts that, but also usually makes them prove it. Judy looks out for herself only, and does anything that will benefit her. This is typical behavior from the Jazz Age, however it is taken to an extreme in this case. Judy’s good look, and ability to manipulate men, comes with a price. She may have the looks, b .....

.... his high aspirations, Faustus still has desires of the flesh, as he requests a wife from Mephostophelis: “…I am wanton and lascivious and cannot live without a wife.” (p. 43) Here Faustus is shown to have internal conflict between godly aspirations and human aspirations.

After selling his soul for twenty-four years of power and knowledge, soon realizes what he has done. He tries to repent his bond with the devil, yet the devil will .....

.... across the bay” (79). Gatsby Himself later states “She only married you because I was poor…It was a terrible mistake.” (131). These quotes explain Gastby’s belief, that if he becomes rich, he will be able to obtain love from Daisy. This is quite contrary to the ideas of Ben Franklin represented in this quote “Content makes poor men rich; Discontent makes rich men poor”, this quote explains that life itself is the reward, not the things that money can bring to it. Many wealthy people assume that it is their right to ha .....
