.... Gimpel chose to ignore common sense. Gimpel was a fool despite his self-denial. As a necessity of his community Gimpel served the purpose of bread maker and as in all societies he served also as the scapegoat. Gimpel could have been an integral part of his society but instead he was untrue to himself and he was lost. The townspeople treated Gimpel much like the court jesters of the renaissance period, turning the baker into the village harlequin. Although the target of many pranks and antics, they were not directed at him for intentional harm. He was t .....

.... it to their fullest. All of their resources would be used to combat all of those in favor of a Utopian society, and would eventually win. The poor probably would not fight for it, for they are afraid of the rich, and know all of the power they hold. Teaching children while they are young is the key to a successful utopian society. This is why isolation is needed. If a Utopian society is started in the middle of England, children would have too much influence from surrounding territories. An island would be the only way to maintain a Utopian society, wh .....

.... thus the book ends on a harsh, cruel note, topped off by the lack of understanding and compassion of an extraordinarily immoral and cruel man. Whatever Steinbeck’s intent for writing such a jarring ending, he leaves the reader with a powerful sense of the world’s immorality.   In this book there were several characters, but only a few had significant roles. I would have to say Lennie is the protagonist of the book even though George is an extremely critical character as well. Lennie Small is described as being a monstrous man .....

.... being the necklace which she eventually loses and tries to replace. Instead of hiding the truth and facing the music, which was harder, to take than when she lied. The old adage which says," What a tangled web weave when we first start to deceive." We humans can't handle the truth. We think we know what is the truth. What that really is just bullshit. It's arrogance-playing tricks on our minds making us think we are in control of our lives. If we really were in control of our lives then why can't we control every little aspect of it that gives discomfort? Be .....

.... is to get MacBeth to feel as she does. She does so by questioning his manhood in saying: Art thou afeard To be the same in thine own act and valor Which thou esteem'st the ornament of life, And live a coward in thine own esteem, Letting "I dare not" wait upon "I would," Like the poor cat i' th' adage? (I, vii, 40-46). "She feels in an instant that everything is at stake, and ignoring the point, overwhelms him with indignant and contemptuous personal reproach." (Bradley, 81.) She seems to welcome the darkness into her when she says, "C .....

.... The story is about a man’s literal and spiritual journey and how they parallel each other. On these journeys, Coleridge imaginatively explores the supernatural. He makes the story and the Mariners experiences more interesting. The Mariner experiences moral error and physical decay that changes his view on life during his journey. In the first part of the story, the Mariner and his crew come across an albatross, a "pious good omen," "That made the wind blow," a mysterious, supernatural quality. The crew of the ship welcome it "As if it had been a Christ .....

.... Ironically, Oedipus remains ignorant of the fact that he himself was the transgressor; he was jinxing himself. When the blind prophet Teiresias is summoned to shed light on the subject, he warns Oedipus not to be overly presumptuous and assures him that the future will come of itself and the past will surface when need be. Initially, his rash, self-righteous internal character begins to surface and with his increased frustration Oedipus begins to adversely affect his relationships with others, particularly antagonizing his friends and respected members of t .....

.... and Hell, nicely chronicled through letter correspondences during the time in Moksha. The title of Doors of Perception, lifted from poet William Blake, inspired rock singer Jim Morrison to name his group "The Doors." Then in 1963 Huxley with his wife by his side ingested a dose of mescaline while on his deathbed. Aldous Huxley’s, Brave New World shows humanity, that an obsession with a utopia, as they world they live in, will come with great cost and is near impossible as he shows that the problem is knowledge destroys value of life. As man has progressed .....
