This basically means that harming something or someone that doesn’t do anything wrong, is a sin. In the book, cruelty and vehement behavior were more visible when someone not deserving of being attacked, is attacked. The mockingbird had its own beauty that shouldn’t be messed with. “Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy” (119). The aggression of the story was due to the fact that people didn’t have empathy

We see her endeavors to bring something innocuous and great into her reality essentiacould save Mayella on the testimony box, "Atticus had hit her hard in a way that was not clear to me, but rather it gave him no delight to do as such." He says in his last comments, "I don 't have anything yet feel sorry for in my heart for the central observer for the state." Potentially every character in this book could be a mockingbird. Be that as it may, once racial preference mists a man 's mind it rapidly ends up noticeably inconceivable for that individual to take after a genuine mockingbird. This shows up the pith of why Atticus knows he should attempt to ensure the pure of whatever kind in light of the fact that in the event that he doesn 't secure the honest, he may lose the soul of the mockingbird that lives in

By putting semicolons in between the word no, it really lets the reader know that the speaker is self conscious. Instead of speaking the words, the speaker second guesses himself and decides to say it in his head. Even though night has come and everyone has left the zoo, the speaker is still afraid to let his beliefs be heard. To go along with the same scene in the poem about the monkey reaching at his backside, the speaker says “we will feel as if humanity is endangered and that our intimate moments might lap over into the animal-world.” Rice uses the literary device: simile, to set up this scene. Rice uses it perfectly in the sense of comparing our intimate moments to those of animals.

For this reason “it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird” (Lee 119). Because they don’t do anything but “sing their hearts out for us” (Lee 119). In this world, there is still some purity, which is what the mockingbirds represent. Although the mockingbird symbolism is a core tool used to share the theme of candidness, it is possible to catch the motif on other occasions. Every time Scout and Jem talk about the Radley Place, or the

Cathy Shen ENG 2D7 Ms. Munro March 27, 2017 A Curse’s Compensation in Richard III In Act 1 Scene 2, lines 1-32 from William Shakespeare’s Richard III, Lady Anne is devastated by the loss of her husband, Prince Edward and her father in law, King Henry. After she asks the halberds to set down the coffin, she laments the deaths of her family members. Her emotions then transition from sorrow to rage.

He is a symbol of destructive love because he ended his marriage and somebody 's life over jealousy “ sir twas not her husband 's presence only, called that spot of joy into the duchess cheek” (13-15). He has his wife killed because she is paying other men attention. His wife could have started it but the husband wanted control and respect and he couldn 't get it so he decided to kill her. The last Duchess was killed by her husband because she was flirting with other men and her husband didn 't like it “thats my last duchess painted on the wall, looking as if she were alive” (1-2). In this poem destructive love was showed by explaining why the wife was killed.

But there to me, Medea really does not know what being in love truly is. She seems to be hungry for it rather than feeling it. For her, Jason seemed to be on her top list of people who she is willing her every piece of her life to be with. This is where we begin to see her morality crumble up, as she loses her sanity so much, that she kills her brother

Rochester fights the social norms and tries to marry Jane no matter what. The authors of A Dialogue of Self and Soul: Plain Jane’s Progress explain how “not because he is princely in manner, but because, being in some sense her equal, he is the only qualified critic of her art and soul” further proving that Rochester is the only one for Jane (Gilbert and Gubar 352).

She never recovers from the devastating death of her young husband, indirectly caused by the nature of his sexual desire.

One strong emotional reaction is when Aibileen always mentions something about her past like with her ex-husband, Clyde and her deceased son, Treelore. It’s sad when you keep on remembering your loved ones dying and leaving you. Another strong emotion I had was when every time the maids were discriminated against. It’s not fair that just because of your color that you have to be made fun of. My last strong reaction in the book in my opinion is when the maids get fired.

The grandmothers moment of grace causes a terrible reaction from The Misfit. After The Misfit kills the grandmother he says “It’s no real pleasure in life,” which I think shows that the grandmother may have had some kind of impact on him in there discussion. In the final moments of life, redemption could always be reached. In the last moments of her life, the grandmother was a good woman, she showed compassion and care in a time of danger and

At some point in the story, Lady Macbeth’s conscience gets the best of her and therefore ultimately leads her to her somewhat accidental death. What happened to the unruly and driven woman that first appeared? Was it a guilty conscience? Was she scared her husband because of the power he had obtained? What kind of a woman is Lady Macbeth truly?
