Heathcliff has no regards for other people 's feelings because he

Even though at the time such action was a crime, she had her own viable reasons to do so. As Nora has said, she did it for her husband, and not only for his health but also his pride. Torvald is a very prideful man who has always been the major financial contributor of the family, and as he became ill, he was no longer to support the family as before. Under the circumstances, borrowing money from someone else to cure his illness would be a harm toward Torvald’s personal pride, as he would never allow his family to be in debt, let alone having his wife to leave the comfortable household to work in order to pay for him.

Putting Lennie out of his misery is the best option George had. Lennie depended on George for everything. Lennie wouldn’t be able to survive without George.

This is what made them fail. Equality was just overly persistent, and they had no means of force to stop him from rebelling since they relied on complete cooperation from the society. Equality believed in his individualism, and rebelled to make his own path. He dared to love his woman of choice and the career that he had a passion for. For these reasons, he was incompatible with the incorrect

He is powerful and influential, constantly part of a scheme or plan. He is not concerned with honesty as he is willing to deceive Hero to win her heart for Claudio, in which Don Pedro asks, “Was’t not to this end that thou began’st to twist so fine a story?” (Shakespeare 1.1.305-6). He works at keeping the peace even when he is accused of stealing Hero for himself; he simply states that the rumors are false. Even when confronted by Leonato, he again says “nay, do not quarrel with us, good old man”(Shakespeare 5.1.55).

He became arrogant in his ways and detoured from the successful path of tradition. “And yet for glory-- how could I have won a nobler than by giving burial to my own brother?” , Antigone proclaimed this statement in a rebuttal against Creon. Creon stated, “Now verily I am no man, she is the man, if this victory shall rest with her and bring no penalty.” Creon feared his power would be in jeopardy if Antigone’s actions went with no punishment; however, Creon’s arrogance blinded him to the fact that Antigone would remain triumphant over Creon, even with a punishment.

Yes, you can love others before you find the one, but did Romeo even really love Rosaline? No, he most certainly did not. Romeo was again only infatuated with Rosaline, as he was with Juliet. In the text it states “She hath, and in that sparing makes huge waste, for beauty, starved with her severity, Cuts beauty off from all posterity. She is too fair, too wise, wisely too fair, to merit bliss by making me despair.

Even when something bad happens to Blanche, she copes by making a lie to cover up her emotions. After Blanche was raped and Stella did not believe what had happened, she falsely told her sister “…the rest of [her] time [she] is going to spend on the sea…”(pg. 148) when in reality she was just leaving because of the rape. Blanche often made up stories to escape the humiliation in her life. Within A Street Car Named Desire by Tennessee Williams characters demonstrate that how one views one’s self is not always realistic.

Individuals tend to think of a “hero” as a kind person, someone who saves the entire population from a dreadful misery. Hernan Cortes, a Spanish soldier and conquistador, is a hero (in the minds of some) for acting courageously and enhancing Spain’s economy with the gold taken from the Aztecs. But as glorious as he may seem, he also killed many Mexican Natives and Aztecs and caused many unnecessary battles and disruptions for them. Aside from disease, Cortes also majorly disrupted the Aztec culture and religion  by converting many to Catholicism. Depending on what facts were taken into consideration throughout his life, he could be seen as a hero, or a villain.

In a lot of stories, the characters are what makes a “great story,” but most characters a very different from each other, just like in the three stories, The Sniper, The Most Dangerous Game and Harrison Bergeron. They all share the same trait. Even though the characters share the same trait, they differ in their own ways. A way the Characters all share a similar trait is that Rainsford, Harrison and The Sniper are all very “brave.” One way the Harrison is very brave is that he stood up against a government who kills and locks up people that are “over average” “(different or better than normal).”

Edmund follows Joseph Cambells model for becoming a hero and overcomes several obstacles to do so. Edmund struggled with himself and others around him when it came to crossing whether to accept the call of heroism or not. Edmunds root cause of strife was in his insecurity in himself which caused him to make selfish decisions in order to be accepted. He refuses to support Lucy in the beginning stages of his adventure in Narnia, and by doing so makes himself vulnerable to the White Witch’s temptation. Edmund also struggles with his pride when he is confronted the possibility of becoming the only kind of Narnia.
