In the case of this play, the reader could argue that Eddie's tragic flaw is either denial or, to begin with, the incestuous feelings for his niece, Catherine. Most of the time, the damage caused by a tragic hero's downfall usually hurts not just himself but often his community and family around him are strongly affected as well. Once again, Eddie's betrayal does both of these things. Firstly, his community was affected because Marco shouted to all the neighbours in the surrounding scene that Eddie killed his children, or so he claimed. Marco made these claims because he was so furious at Eddie’s betrayal and hence wanted to make Eddie seem as a villainous character.
I think Grant acts this way because his own teacher, Matthew Antoine, acted the same way towards him. It’s kind of his way at revenge. Grant has a lot of anger through the beginning of his visits to Jefferson. He didn’t want to be bossed around and told what to do any more like he was at the Pichot house, and that’s exactly what his aunt was doing to him. Even though Jefferson is the one that is locked up, Grant is also, in a sense, in jail.
It seems as though he wants to shelter her and Brabanzio is very busy being a senator but wants so spend time with her and coddle her. He gets upset because he feels like the relationship that he has with Desdamona is being betrayed. The betrayal comes from the race jelousy of Desdamona being married to a black man, Othello. "Look to her, Moor, if thou hast eyes to see. She has deceiv'd her father, and may thee.
Therefore, I believe Manon hates her husband. This gives the impression to the reader that Manon is always negative and is harsh towards her husband, making people believe she is not loving towards him. However, the narrator’s restricted viewpoint could lead us to believe that she is biased and unreliable because she is narrating only from her point of view. Also, at the beginning of the games, Manon has a sympathetic tone towards the slaves and feels sorry for them because she says, “I couldn’t watch anymore.” This suggests that Manon feels ashamed of what she is letting her husband do to the slaves and that she feels sadness building up inside of her towards the slaves being treated horrifically. The dynamic verb of “watch” shows to the reader that Manon feels a little bit of pain towards the slaves and that she feels that they are only being used for torture.
In Both texts, Nan Dear and Jess’ father experience discrimination and racism and that’s why barriers are put up, because they don’t want the protagonists to deal with the isolation and mistreatment. However, by doing this they’re putting up additional barriers to fitting in. In “Rainbows end” Nan Dear is always warning Dolly ““you watch who you’re mixing with. Hard to tell a good man from a bad. Bad one will promise you everything, then do the straight opposite just like that” we can tell that she is talking from experience and she says it how it
Lennie's previous problem with a woman at Weed and Curley's wife's aggressive manner combined with Curley's paranoid bravado and immediate dislike for Lenny make a conflict concerning the three characters inevitable. When George lies to the boss by telling him that he is Lennie's cousin, he reinforces the suspicion that there is something suspect about their friendship. The boss cannot understand that two men would have any concern for each other unless they were bound by familial connections, and George's lie demonstrates that this view is widespread. George, in particular, has cares that occur beyond a narrow scope of self-interest, a view that clashes with the widespread individualist mindset. He is in some ways comparable to Candy, whose care for a decrepit old dog marks him as a weak and sentimental
She continues to face a volley of harsh words and as always got to make efforts to defend her father for his decisions but the racist remarks do not stop. These remarks just show how cruel children can be to other children. She feels the need to defend her father to Francis, her cousin. He was also taunting her with accusations: "At a safe distance her called, `He's nothin' but a nigger-lover'." Racial injustices and segregation continue to cause upheaval in their lives
Brooks also presents her through Martyn’s perspective as evil and sub-humanly disgusted, the thought of her makes him feel physically ill, in order to show how much Martyn needs her to prove his assumptions wrong so that he can grow up and mature. In another way, Aunty Jean is important because Martyn projects the anger he feels towards his father and her, onto her persona. Every time he sees her he becomes angry or irritated so he assumes that she is also angry at him. Martyn feels that this justifies his hatred of Aunty Jean that in reality stems from his father: ‘Furious is the first word that comes to mind. Mad, ugly and furious.’ The adjective ‘furious’ describes how Martyn is both angry at Aunty Jean and scared of her and what she might do at the same time, the reader sees that he has absorbed his father’s fear that

In Robert Bloch “Sweets to the Sweet”, Irma’s evil and vindictive ways, was a result of the abhorrent treatment she received at the hands of her father. [What is a transition you can use to help connect this paragraph to the previous paragraph? Please refer to our above discussion for strategies.] She was neglected, physically abused and tormented. At times, when he says to the governess, “Give that little witch a beating,” (21), he is advocating for a stranger to abuse his child.
