Truman Capote’s tone for pages 103-104 reflects a feeling of perplexity and anecdotic. The reason of perplexity exists in consideration of being given details on the Clutter family being murdered. The apologia of the anecdotic tone exists in view of how Capote gives a vivid description on how the murders actually happened and how the assassins left them and what their intentions were. These two pages make the reader feel the irresolution of the crime scene.
I believe that Billy was the most heroic character in “Billy Budd” than Captain Vere. He was a man that did not argue or be mad even though he was forced on a naval ship. He was generally kind and was liked by other sailors. Even when Captain Vere made him be hang, he accepted the situation, and sacrifice himself for other problems that could happen if he was not punished. While in the other hand.
The detail increases the sinister sense when the narrator describes Mr. Clutter’s murder. The deaths of the Clutter Family seemed like a terrible case, since “a total of eighteen men” had to be assigned to take care of this “case full time”.

The second character that I would like to talk about from the story "Guest of the Nations" written by Frank O 'Conner is Bonaparte. Bonaparte was the narrator throughout the story. His duty was to watch the hostages in the house and make sure they didn 't escape. He in the end had to shoot Hawkins the British soldier that had been captured to put him out of his misery after the first shot by Donovan didn 't kill him. He didn 't like his duty to kill them and wouldn 't have shot at them had they tried escaping since they had became his friends.
Blindly accepting the works of an inaccurate writer, Danny remains unconvinced, too mentally weak to question the information, even when his own friend doubts the credibility of the material (153). Rather than rising above the situation and overcoming it, Danny demonstrates weakness by allowing himself to feel trapped, as he directly tells Reuven he feels and by not exercising discernment in his
How could you ever compare a huge burly monster to a royal, wealthy king of Scotland? Well, when both of these contrasting characters both scare their entire society around them, the comparison is easy to make. The titles of these two novels, Grendel and Macbeth, are just simply named after the main characters is not just the only similarity between these two works but they are have the same themes and character traits that contribute to them. John Gardner’s novel Grendel and Shakespeare’s play Macbeth were written in completely different time periods but these classics are similar actions, character development, beliefs, and morals of the story.
By organizing the novel, this way, the reader learns more about the criminals backgrounds and the complications that lead them to their arrest. Rather than allowing the reader to get attached to the victims of the crime, as most crime novels do, the reader becomes more attached to the murderers of the story. Personally, I felt more connected with the criminals. Smith and Hickock, than I ever did with the Clutter family. Throughout the story, the townspeople’s information only gives the reader a glimpse of the Clutter’s life.

Throughout the Play Macbeth written by William Shakespeare, Macbeth is a man who goes through different characteristical shifts. With the clear use of different analytical techniques in the play macbeth, It makes it easier for us, the readers to deeply follow along from beginning to end. The two techniques that set this play apart from its close competitors are the use of irony and vampirism. These two techniques thoughtfully mentioned in the play macbeth are also related to the Book How To Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas C. Foster. After reading chapter 26 “It’s he serious?
No protagonist’s journey is complete without an antagonist there to reap in their sorrows. One could argue that King Lear there is no protagonist, but there are clear antagonists. Edmund, bastard son of Gloucester, is one of these painfully obvious villains. Every motive he has is to make himself the victor and drag someone else down. The treachery of Edmund’s villainy enhances the meaning of King Lear by putting him in situations that are not only dramatic, but outrageous.
