People stick to beliefs and do not ponder on whether or not it is right or wrong. Man is extremely messed up or inhumane and there is nothing to do about it. We just move on and try to fix what we feel can be fixed. Kurt Vonnegut’s low opinion of humans in general are displayed in his works Breakfast of Champions and Slaughterhouse Five show that man’s inhumanity to man can be avoided by conscious thoughts and deeds. Kurt Vonnegut lived an extremely successful life as an author, novelist and short story writer.
Society often looks at those who are aesthetically satisfying in a pleasant way, while regarding those that are less amiable, poorly. In the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, this is the biggest mistake Victor Frankenstein makes. While the book progresses, the main character becomes more and more horrified by his creation, while, in reality, the creation is not inherently evil, rather he feels left out and lonely. As the readers become immersed in this gothic tale, they realize that each scene is designed to convey how appearances influence people. Through the Arctic settings and the imagery created by Mary Shelley, the readers can sense the real emotions of the horrid and terrifying creation.
Goodness and nobility is determined by an individual’s morality and their willingness to follow a virtuous path in their life. It is also determined by the ability of an individual to acknowledge their shortcomings and become more self-aware. In The Crucible by Arthur Miller, John Proctor is a good man as he showcases righteous morals and principles. This is shown, as he ends his affair with Abigail, protects his wife and his friends’ wives, and dies to preserve his integrity and honour. First, John Proctor shows his goodness, by refusing the physical advances of Abigail, who wishes to continue their love affair.
Also, Killer Kane doesn’t speak of his get rich quick scam, which he was sure would aggrandize him, as much in the movie as he did in the book.

I finally realized Daisy had a huge impact in this book because of the article written by Leland Person Jr. called “Herstory” and Daisy Buchanan. In the first paragraph of the essay, Person explained what other people thought of Daisy Buchanan, “To Robert Ornstein she is criminally amoral, and Alfred Kazin judges her vulgar and inhuman” (250). Person responds to these claims by stating what he believes Daisy really is, “Daisy, in fact, is more victim than victimizer” (250). Person emphasizes that even though many people believe Daisy was evil, she actually should not be faulted because she was the one that was the victim. These findings have important consequences for the broader domain of world perspective.

In Crime and Punishment Raskolnikov, a rationalistic nihilist, once proud and haughtly, learnt humility and compassion through suffering and the love of Sonia. Never proud and haughtly like Raskolnikov, Sonia belonged to the ‘meek type’ of character, and was the symbol of crushed and suffering humanity. Raskolnikov imagined himself to be an extraordinary man, not to be governed by conventional rules of society and morality. According to Dostoyevsky, “there is no reason, but only reasoners; behind every rational formula there is a formulator; behind every generalization there is generalizer” (Dostoyevsky, quoted in The Encyclopedia Philosophy,

As Stated by the author of How to Read Literature Like a Professor For Kids, by Thomas Foster, authors use certain varieties of weather conditions in order to set a mood in the story that’s relevant to the scenario present. Foster explains this action as saying, “But an author doesn't have a quick shower of rain, or a flurry or snow, or a flood or a blizzard, for no reason at all (Foster, 59).” What the author is trying to remark is that authors don't put unnecessary weather unless it contributes to the plot or the mood, sometimes even using it as means of ivory. One example of weather being used in the movie clip from Toy Story is rain. The rain didn't start until Sid was just about the release a rocket outside with Buzz attached, which
