attention to making the setting of the novel as
detailed as possible. The city of Casterbridge can
almost serve as a character on its own, having its
own personality and affecting other characters in
the novel. Hardy uses the setting as a literary
device to strengthen the personalities and
complexities of characters in the story.
Throughout the novel, Hardy uses the setting
either to reinforce character ...

What is that on your hands? Didnt you wash them?
In elementary school, those were common questions
that I was asked by my peers in response to the
reddish-brown designs on my hands. Occasionally I
would keep my hands in a fist, just so I wouldnt
have to deal with those questions. My answer to
them was always, Its Henna, and YES, I did wash my
hands. At that point my answer was rather simple,
as I was not prepared with a ten-minute speech for
them as I am today. Henna is a natural dye

State Of Mind Sexual Desire

Violence and sexuality are usually the theme for
action movies. In Hitchcock's Psycho, violence is

To most people, taxidermy is a hobby; in Norman s
case, stuffing birds can be viewed as a sign of
violence and sexuality. Hobbies are usually
regarded as innocent activities of casual
interest, designed to help ...
