Gentleman Callers Chewing Gum
937 wordsTennessee Williams describes Jim the gentleman caller as the long delayed but always expected something that we live for. This idea can be applied to many other instances in the play, where something is long delayed but at the same time expected by certain characters. There are instances of covering up the truth, especially by Amanda. Amanda has always tried to protect herself from the brutal reality of life. We can see this from the way she tries to convince herself that Laura should be fresh a...

Comedy And Tragedy Doc Daneeka
938 wordsComedy and tragedy have always been separated into separate categories. Certainly most tragedies have humorous moments, and even the craziest comedies were at times serious. Nevertheless, even the development of tragedies left the division unharmed. That is, until Catch- 22. Joseph Heller does not deal with these issues in the normal fashion instead he criticizes them and the society that help carry these things out. Heller in fact goes beyond criticizing, he satirizes. Joseph Heller manages to ...

Goethe Faust Faust Puzzle Wagner
900 wordsFaust: a figure defined by the characters in which he interacts. In Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Faust first part, Faust is a famous character of self-inflicted tragedy. The characters such as Mephistopholes, Wagner, and Gretchen imply those feelings, impulses, needs, and wants that many may face during a lifetime. Goethe's story of Faust illustrates an interesting path that one may follow at a universal point where we feel we do not know our purpose and feel pinned down by the sadness of the se...

Sunlight As A Symbol In The Scarlet Letter
969 wordsNathaniel Hawthorne uses a sizeable number of symbols in his book, The Scarlet Letter. These include rose bushes, letters, trees, scaffolds, colors, etc... One of these many symbols is that of sunlight. However, its application throughout the book is poorly and inconsistently used, conveying different meanings and significance.

In such an approach, history might well prove to be more interesting; it certainly is more instructive.

Criminal Justice System Police Discretion
958 wordsPhilosopher, Ronald Dworkin and H. L. A. Hart refers to discretion as "the hole in the doughnut" (doughnut theory of discretion). In this standpoint, discretion is the vacant area in the middle of a ring consisting of policies and procedures. To be able to make choices freely is called a strong sense of discretion. Discretion lies within the hole of the doughnut. Individualized judgments are often made by police officials, everyday. However, the loose definition often seems to be a bit of a chal...

End Of The Play Romantic Ideals
1,172 wordsLove and war are two concerns which are often regarded as societal ideals. George Bernard Shaw's Arms and the Man is a pleasant and humorous attack on both. Shaw uses humor as a vehicle of thought thus tending to obscure his subtle satire on war and the genteel classes and his exploration of the romantic-realist spectrum in human disposition (Davis 274). These romantic ideals make up the essence of the plays satirical instances and develop the theme of realism. Shaw satirizes romanticism within ...

Resistance To Change Resist Change

The organizational goal always is benefits greater than costs. People are affected in different ways by a change. Some may benefit while others suffer a loss. Frequently there is no clear-cut 100 percent benefit of all. The supportive and collegial models of organizational behavior imply that management will consider each individual ca...

Worker Bees Dominant Male
1,187 wordsAltruism is thought of as being behaviour exhibited by one individual to benefit another, with no direct gain but at some cost for that first individual.

Genetically this gain tends to refer to the fitness of the individual i. e. their reproductive success. It was Darwin who first suggested the problematic paradox introduced by some alt...

Horatio And Marcellus Kill The King
1,496 wordsHamlets Melancholy accounts for his depressed, pensive, and sometimes hot-tempered disposition. In no way is Hamlet apathetic or lethargic; he merely hesitates. This hesitation is not due to a bestial oblivion, as the critic suggests, but to his thinking too precisely, which is that pensiveness that makes him melancholy. The author of the criticism states that Hamlet is apathetic or lethargic. On the contrary, he shows great emotion throughout the play. In fact, he intentionally exaggerates and ...
