    I would agree with both characters in certain ways since each captain showed different aspects that made themselves unique. Grant, for example, was a great soldier that only care about the future of the nation. On the other hand, Lee was the image everybody wanted to follow. His personality was higher than Grant’s, and his desire of keeping the old aristocratic mentality was the nation’s example of loyalty. But, they both had the same purpose which is keeping the American nation as one united country.

  • Inspector Goole Character Analysis

    1642 Words  | 7 Pages

    Inspector Goole is a mysterious figure. His name calls to mind the word 'ghoul ', which is defined as an evil spirit or phantom ghost, Although he is deeply bothered and concerned by Eva Smith 's suicide and the concept of societies morals. He is ghost-like in the sense that he doesn 't officially exist. The fact that we don 't officially know who or what the inspector is at the end of the play leaves whether Inspector Goole is real or not open to interpretation of the individual members of the audience. My personal belief he is that of something similar to that of the ghosts of christmas from Charles Dickens’s “A Christmas Carol” who 's purpose is too make a person aware of their morals and force them to confront their wrong doing.
