Nora finally seeks indaendance from Helmer "you're not the man to help me with that, I ust do that alone". Nora experiences somewhat of an enlightenment reflecting on how she has been treated in life: "he called me his doll-child... I went rom Daddy's hands to yours".

Nick Carraway’s passive nature leads to the many mishaps in the novel, which stresses the idea that not being evil does not necessarily make someone a good person. “I’m inclined to reserve all judgements” (1) Nick states at the beginning of the novel, which instantly sets up his passivity. His passiveness sparks complications early on, such as when Tom takes Nick to meet Myrtle in secret. Nick tags along because he “had nothing better to do” (24) and seems to have little qualms about the fact that Tom is cheating on Daisy openly.

Everything is being arranged according to the possibilities … Katiusha knows where everything is.

Besides the point that he does not want his own daughter to get hurt by another man, but he also cares about his reputation too. Polonius was devoted to King Claudius at the time, and since Claudius was not in a good relationship with Hamlet, Polonius does not want his daughter to embarrass him by being in a relationship with Hamlet. Polonius’ words to Ophelia showed that he is a person who cares more about material well-beings and his own reputation than his daughter’s happiness. When Ophelia was explaining Hamlet’s actions, she said that “He hath, my lord, of late made many tenders of his affection to me” (108-09). The word “tenders” has three meanings: kind, money, and to give.

Anne did not like all of the people she stayed with, like Mr. Dussel, but she did not discriminate. That could explain why she said that she believes people kindhearted deep down. Anne could have decided to hate Dussel and skip his Hanukkah gift, but she did anyway and that contributes to the quotes later said about others.

Margaret also takes care of Ellen...she is also the wife of Ellen’s father if you didn’t know already. She seemed caring and sweet kinda like I am unless you get annoying which is a lot of people but I’m able to keep quiet. Then we have Tam..who was known to not be nice or trusting but he earns Ellen’s trust by saving her. They may or may not like each other….well it kinda seemed like it, mostly how Tam gave her a kiss when she kinda protected him and cared for him, when she thought he might have died...but he was faking. Also if you wanted to know how Margaret lost her pelt and wasn’t able to go home I will now tell you.

Therefore, he believes that children are the only people who aren’t “fake”. In the end, Holden’s infatuation with phoniness boils down to him feeling like he doesn’t fit into a society in which he doesn’t want to conform to fit into. Baer and Gelser agree by stating that, “Reconsidering the concept of therapeutic landscapes in J.D. Salinger’s “The Catcher in the Rye” Holden’s main obstacle was staying “a child without defiling childhood by his current reality.” (Baer and Gesler, 410) Similarly, Daniel Mendelsohn states, “one of the novel’s many markers of Holden’s problem, which is a refusal to grow up. The allergy to change, the inability to countenance compromise and the self-congratulatory contempt for anyone who has done so...” (Mendelsohn, 1) Holden reasons people are phonies because he cannot accept the fact that people's behaviors, personalities, and actions will always change when surrounded by other people because it is a force of nature that everyone learns to do so that they can survive in the
