Benito Cereno Centered Ness

slavery, this is not the major idea of the story.

the entire story every main character displays
signs of idiocy. Unfortunately, the most important
decision-maker in the story, Captain Alaska
Delano, falls into this category. Melville's story
is told through a narrator. He purposely tries to
let the reader slowly ...

View From The Bridge Mac Beths
1,152 words
The whole of this play involves symbolism, on many
different levels. The end scene, in which Eddie
takes his own life with his own knife is symbolic
of the self-destructive nature that led to such an
ending. As Arthur Miller wished to write a modern
Greek tragedy it is likely that the symbolism of
the dagger is Eddies sexuality, which drove him to
his drastic actions and eventually death. During
the confrontation earlier in the play Marco raised
a chair like a weapon, symbolic of the fight yet
