He is afraid if he searched his soul long enough, he would find something to show, but it might be how happy he is that this burden is finally lifted from his shoulders. Elie still does not want to admit to himself he is happy his father died. He can tell that deep within himself, the horrors of the Holocaust have torn him down and stripped him of his emotions, but he doesn’t want to admit it to himself. He is afraid of who he has become. This proves how torn Elie is about his father, and how the terrors of the holocaust have deprived him of his emotions, destroying the bond between him and his

Unlike Creon who has a Catharsis, Okonkwo doesn’t experience this moment of Catharsis as he should for being the tragic hero in Things Fall Apart. Instead Okonkwo experiences his death as his downfall, “then they came to the tree from which Okonkwo's body was dangling, and they stopped dead.” (Achebe, ?). Due to Okonkwo’s downfall being his death, Catharsis was out of the question. Leaving Creon to be the ultimate tragic
Some of those antipathetic to this argument believe that Romeo is most at fault for the death of the couple because of his impetuous decision to commit suicide. Romeo would have never felt as if he needed to do this if the plan wasn’t set in the first place. Friar Laurence knew there could be major consequences if the plan failed, and this time they proved to be pernicious. “Her body sleeps in Capel 's ' monument,And her immortal part with angels lives”(V.I). Romeo would have never received this misguided information if it wasn’t for Friar’s overall plan, plus his lack of communication.
Chris McCandless may have seemed unprepared and crazy, but he was in fact completely sane and capable of surviving in the Alaskan bush. This, however, did not sway critics on their opinion of McCandless and his actions. Chris was labeled as mentally disturbed and his death was deemed foolish and pointless (Krakauer, 70, 71). People who read the boy’s story thought his death could have been prevented if he had been more prepared, or just prepared in general.
No matter the degree of sin each of us commits we are estranged from God to some capacity. It is common for the human person to fall prey to the approval of the world and forget or ignore God, who loves us despite the numerous times we reject Him. He even states how he remembers in his youth that he had wept for Dido for committing suicide because of love (The Confessions by St. Augustine, book 1), but he didn't weep for his own sins and transgressions for God. He could empathize with the tragic plight of a character in a book, but he didn't or couldn't recognize his own tragedy. I think it's all too common for a person to see the faults in someone else and feel sorrow for them, but at the same time, they are unable to acknowledge their own faults and get to the root of their sin.
In A Separate Peace, the reader can see that Finny’s death was part of a chain reaction caused by Gene. His death shows that a person not knowing their identity and who they are could affect other people and not just themselves. Although Gene didn’t directly kill Phineas, we can see how Gene being so overly obsessed with trying to be someone he’s not affected several people. He lost his identity and it cost someone else’s life rather than his own.
Although coercive treatment is done with good intentions, in some cases there are chances that they fail and lead the patient down a far worse downward spiral. In another personal account called “No Time to say Goodbye” by Carla Fine, Carla recounts her husband’s death and he life preceding his
So this makes his real- life experience connect so closely to the story he had written. He experienced loss in real life along with in his story. In the story, the narrator had also lost his daughter to polo, although he didn’t exactly explain his feelings, he showed that it did affect him. Which makes me think that maybe Baldwin was the type of person to hide his feelings and act tough even though things affected him. He tried not to dwell on things, but realize that he can feel
For instance, in the novel Christopher thinks that his mother is dead. However, she is actually alive and Christopher’s father has been lying to him this whole time. Perhaps if the book had not been written in first person, the readers could have been given insight into why the dad lied instead of telling the
Jeff still however, forgets things, or repeats things over again, oh and when hes nervous he stutters, but other than that he has recovered remarkable from his brain
The death came as a shock to me as well, even after watching the whole series countless times and knowing the plot from the heart. But even so the death didn’t mean anything to me. I always thought that it was only natural for death to occur, and that it was a normal thing to deal with in life. This was my sheltered, and inexperienced point of view, and I didn’t realize
