... semblance of her own gentleness. By contrast,
the creature unfailingly enrages Victor, causing
him to lose self-control and become violent.
Whilst the feminine roles are flat and manipulated
to affect the character and actions of the male
roles, the latter are considerably more defined.

The Spiritual And Physical Dimensions In Birthmark

Fred Allen Wolf notes in Taking the Quantum Leap
that it was not until the 20 th century that
scientists realized that to observe is to disturb,
for observation breaks the wholeness of nature. If
observing disturbs, then when a scientist tampers
and tries to perfect nature the result can only be
disastrous. The goal of most scientists is to
observe and understand the mysteries of nature.

Love Lust And Obsession In The Great Gatsby

There is a fine line between love and lust. If
love is only a will to possess, it is not love. To
love someone is to hold them dear to one's heart.
In The Great Gatsby, the characters, Jay Gatsby

reality, this seems to be a misconception. In The
Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald portrays the themes of
love, lust and obsession, through the character of
Jay Gatsby, who confuses lust and obsession with
love. By the end of the novel however, Jay Gatsby

nothing was pronounced as noting in Elizabethan
times, and it seems reasonable to presume that the
pun was intended by Shakespeare to signal the
importance of observation, spying and
eavesdropping in the play. As a plot device, these
