Holden’s childish ways cause him to never mature and figure out who he is as a person. We see many signs of Holden insecurities throughout the book, like the fact that he contradicts himself. An example of this would be when Sally and Holden are in the taxi and he tells her he loves her, he then counties to say, “It was a lie, of course, but the thing is, I meant it when I said it” (Salinger 139). Someone who is confident would not lie and play with the emotions of someone else. Another example of Holden contradicting himself would have to be when he hired Sunny, a

Forswear it, sight!’ Furthermore, Friar Laurence too, expresses the belief. In Act 2, scene 3, Friar Laurence says ‘[young men love] not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes. Here Friar Laurence remarks on Romeo’s instincts, tending to change his lovers quickly. To put it simply, Romeo’s desire for a lover has clouded his judgements and he cannot distinguish the difference between true love and mere physical

Unity. Equality. Superior happiness. All of these generalities are the empty promises guaranteed by a collectivist society. Anthem’s constructed society—built on endless restrictions and laws—falsely propagates these ideals and unknowing citizens blindly accept them, ignoring their own aspirations.

In all, the conch shell represents logic and intelligence, and was furthermore taken for granted by the boys. In conclusion, logic and intelligence are often disrespected and forgotten in society displayed through many symbols in The Lord of the Flies by William Golding. The symbols of logic and intelligence are Piggy, Piggy’s glasses, and the conch shell. Piggy was disrespected and ignored like society stereotypes intelligence.

We are all told that there is a wrong and right way to live our lives. These people are referring to conforming and not conforming to society. Conformity is a noun that means, “compliance with standards, rules, or laws.” The degrees of conforming go from wearing clothes in public like everyone else to following everything everyone does. There are many pieces of literature on this topic. A novel, short story, and poem proves that conformity is the dull way to live life and keeping individuality may be hard, but is worth it.

He also describes children running up to the carriage offering themselves to him explicitly. Although Gregorio is slightly disturbed by these occurrences, he still remains emotionally aloof. The novel’s audience, however, will no doubt be made extremely uncomfortable by the situation, which grates against modern-day morality. The role of women and children, in this scene at least, is relegated to satisfying the carnal desires of men; they are

Candide's carelessness can also come from his love for Cunegonde, his lover. The reader may assume that Candide’s love for Cunegonde blinds his judgement and results irresponsible and inattentive behavior. “When a man is in love, is jealous, and has been flogged by the Inquisition, he becomes lost to all reflection” (Voltaire pg 22). What Voltaire was trying to say was that a man is not himself when he is in love or is jealous. All Candide wants is to return to his lover so he would do anything to see her again.

It is not until that she realizes that he was in fact serious that she becomes somewhat distraught with him for rejecting her as she is. As the story progresses the audience can relate and sympathize with Georgiana as she is essentially the victim of her husband’s judgement and shock of what he claims to the birthmark to act as an ailment of her beauty. Aylmer goes on to calling her near perfection were it not for the birthmark, however as many would agree that in real life there is no such thing as perfection. Georgiana progressively begins to see her husband change and show his true nature. He becomes angry with her and does not trust her, leading to Georgiana essentially losing

He condemns Romeo’s love as “feckless. Even though Friar Lawrence agrees to the marriage in the end, he seems to know that things will go wrong. The advice he gives to Romeo just before he gets married is particularly relevant, “these violent delights have violent ends.” (Rom.2.6.9) this serves as a reminder of what the prologue says about how the “star-crossed lovers” are doomed. Friar is also worried that Romeo is so wrapped up in his feelings that he will let things get completely out of control, so he warns him to keep control of his

Other themes such as many men being dishonest, unfaithful, and cowardly are lost during the transition from the paper and pen to the big screen. Instead the movie stereotypes men as being superior, loyal, and heroic. While women are portrayed as being fragile, dependent, and weak. The movie also adds another theme which is not present in the novel which is when one steals or takes what is not his, there are consequences one must face. As was evident when Herakles took something which was not his and was punished by losing his dear lover
