The strongest form of loyalty is obedience founded by trust and powered by love, which cannot be replaced with intimidation and fear. When kindness is displayed to a given individual, it is capable of creating a strong core of purpose within oneself, forming loyalty through the desire to be near the one who gives them that affection. In contrast, brutality does the opposite, in hope to break that core enough for the person to resort to dependency Overall, cruelty pushes those under its control to break down, whereas kindness allows for people to strive.
This line shows Elizabeth’s inner vulnerability and inquiry about herself. Elizabeth shows that deep within herself she knew all along that John’s affair with Abigail wasn’t completely his fault. She does not just blame him for their marriage going wrong as she seemed to do earlier in the play, but instead she admits she is also capable of self-criticism. This realization helps Elizabeth forgive John, and renouncing her anger seems to bring her the feeling of personal peace. Her loyalty and real love for John are more evident than in this scene than in the entire play.

In Kiss and Tell, Alain de Botton humorously describes a situation between tactless and socially oblivious parents and their uncomfortable adult daughter, Isabel, who is on a date with her new boyfriend. Using immaturity and a lack of etiquette in the actions of the characters, multiple examples of irony, and the anticipation of Isabel’s father’s actions which all ultimately lead to a comedic effect, de Botton produces a universal experience that brings humor to the audience while commenting on family dynamics.

De Botton intentionally sets his story in a theater with an “elegantly

In the reminiscent short story ‘Celia Behind Me’, author Isabel Huggan paints a vivid picture of Elizabeth, the speaker and primary focal point of the story, advertising her as a notch under all the other kids, making her desperate for validation and acceptance from her peers. Her frenzied attempts at popularity conduce her to do and make barbaric comments, instilling the main idea of Huggan’s story, that the fear of not being liked has the ability to bring out the worst in young, vulnerable youth. “I could bash your head in I hate you so much, you fart!” Elizabeth’s vitriolic tone and cruel vocabulary towards the inferior, other odd-kid-out, Celia, delineates her as an insensitive, malicious little girl.
