After overcoming all of the wicked witch of the West’s obstacles, Dorothy kills the witch herself by melting her with water. In doing this, Dorothy freed the winkies from the witch’s tyrannical rule.

Romeo finds Juliet drugged and assumes she is dead. He kills himself then she awakens and sees that he is dead and kills herself. (Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare) Example

She sees them as her perfect little angels who can do no wrong. Because she is blinded by the beauty, she comes up with excuses for the children’s misbehavior by envisioning ghosts. The governess wants to meet with Mrs. Grose to discuss what she saw the previous night: “But she was a magnificent monument to the blessing of a want of imagination, and if she could see in our little charges nothing but their beauty and amiability, their happiness and cleverness, she had no direct communication with the sources of my trouble” (Chapter XI). At this point, the governess is convinced that she is seeing ghosts and takes it upon herself to protect the children. Mrs. Grose however “lacks imagination” and is not convinced that she is seeing ghosts.

It is my own smile.”(251) He recounts this as Charles Halloway is about to shoot the Dust Witch with the bullet that is going to end her life. This is because the weakness of the carnival as well as the Dust Witch’s is laughter, so by shooting the Witch with a smile she will perish. This shows dramatic irony because the audience already knew what Charles was up to when he was carving in the crescent “moon” on the bullet. The reader is also aware that he’s about to kill her while the Witch is completely unaware. This portrays her as naive, as she assumed that Charles wasn’t going to come up with a plan to kill her on the stage

Within the first chapter of the book, the Countess and Count arrive at Buttercup's family farm. The Countess is attracted to Westley, which makes Buttercup jealous, therefore starting Buttercup and Westley’s love affair. At the beginning of the film, Buttercup and Westley are shown falling in love.The whole introduction to the story is rushed compared to the book, which uses roughly 30 pages to describe how they fell in love. Another difference between the two versions can be found in the kidnapping scene. In both adaptations Buttercup attempts to escape by diving into the dark water.

The ghost represents both Kafka’s descent into the supernatural and serves as his ultimate ordeal. Kafka is split between whether or not to love the ghost as he realizes the ghost is a younger version of Miss Saeki, the head librarian at Komura Memorial Library. The current Miss Saeki also agrees to this relationship as she makes love to Kafka later in the novel.

And thou and Romeo press one heavy bier.” (III.ii.60-61) In Act 3, Scene 3 Romeo much rather be dead than be banished and Friar Lawrence explains how ungrateful he is to be alive and that Juliet still loves him. Similarly, in Act 4, Scene 3 where Juliet is about to take the sleeping potion, she expresses how she would not mind if the potion killed her or caused her to go insane, but if she was alive and well she kill herself immediately.
