As far as the characterization of the main persons in the short story is concerned, Carlier, Kayerts as well as Makola will be analyzed in the following including a direct plus an indirect characterization. Firstly, Kayerts's outward appearance is described as him being ”white“ (l.1) and ”short and fat“ (l. 2). He is the ”chief“ (l. 2) of the station. When coming to Kayert's background story, you can detect that he used to be a ”government clerk“ whose wife is dead and has a daughter. His daughter Melie was raised by his sisters (cf. p. 9, ll.38) and Kayerts worked hard for her in order ”to earn a dowry for his girl“ (p. 9, ll. 37) So eventually you can state that Kayerts is a very caring person in regards to his family. Moreover, Kayerts is painted as an emotional and subservient …show more content…
For instance, they are both stupid and lazy (cf. p. 10, l. 11), ”untidy“ (p. 6, l. 29) as well as ”child[like]“ (p. 8, l. 33). Their illiterateness is key for the whole story and is described directly in the story by saying that ”[t]he two men understood nothing, cared for nothing [...]“ (p. 11, ll. 22) because they are used to being ordered around in the safe network of society (cf. p. 9, ll. 32). Thus, their lack of education brings along a narrow-mindedness, they are ”[only aware] of what [comes] in contact with them […], but unable to see the general aspect of things“ (p. 10, ll. 17). For these named reasons they are entitled as ” two embicibles“ (p. 7, l. 39). Another important component of their personality is their relationship to each other and Makola. Here you can mention that both Kayerts and Carlier have a sincere and good relationship to each other and call each other ”‘my dear fellow‘“ (p.9, l. 13). When regarding the relationship to Makola, they both cherish him very much even though he initiated the slave trade (cf. p. 16, ll. 47). On the opposite, Makola ”despise[s] the two white men“ (p. 6, l.

The production of Honky is a satirical comedy, following the lives of five people and the language of racism. While it focuses on the plot of 5 characters, the storyline was well thought out and intriguing. One actor in specific, Gerard Joseph, who played Thomas, did an exceptionally well job at conveying emotion and projecting to the audience, in my opinion. The overall directing, from the actors to the soundtrack and lightning, seem to be presented with excellent detail. Overall, this production was well done.
The author, Melina Marchetta applies a variety of familiar and stereotypical events in the book. From cases such as the different characters, their characteristics and their reaction upon certain events that occur in the book. One great example of a stereotypical event in this book is the relationship between Josephine Alibrandi and Jacob Coote who is the school captain of a public school called Cook High. “He cracked two eggs on my glasses once” (32).
These types of expectations and pressure put into children in our society for many reason such as getting good grades and doing well at school. In Joy Luck Club June (Jing-Mei Woo) deals with the pressure in a more distinct fashion compared to the children in our society today, as she rebels from her mother’s expectations. The expectations that are set high apply pressure to kids in society and Jing. This affects everyone in their own ways, as some people quit after a while like Jing, and some try to keep up with the expectations and goals. June doesn’t try to keep up with her mother’s expectations and expresses herself to her mom in a frustrated manner.
The couples share a certain amount of love for each other but the disconnection was stronger. The protagonist’s disconnection is evident because her husband treats her like a little girl instead of a wife when he takes her “ …in her arms and called [her] a blessed little goose” (p121). The Mallard’s disconnection is also evident because her husband’s “face that had never looked save with love upon her, fixed and gray and dead” (p 15). This is not the emotion a wife wants to feel from her husband.
Stylistically, the book is arranged in rotating chapters. Every fourth chapter is devoted to each individual character and their continuation alo...
In ?A Municipal Report? O. Henry tells the story in a first person perspective through a man who thinks he is detached from the world. In O. Henry?s story we see that certain characters stand out among the rest by the details that he gives us. The author?s tone in, ?I stepped off the train at 8 P.M.,? is meant to appear nonchalant to give a feel that the narrator is merely an observer in the story. The characterization in the story is also unrealistically portrayed. Azalea Adair is a poor woman who, despite how needy she is, tells the narrator, ?You must have a cup of tea.? She is depicted as a good character without a single bad bone in her body. That would only be meant for the story since O. Henry could have set her up more realistically than a helpless princess needing to be rescued. Another character that defies human reality is Ceasar. He is shown to be a good character as well, giving Azalea his money and helping her out when she needs him. There is nothing bad about Ceasar that would make the reader dislike him. He is the classic knight in shining armor that could only be set up in a fantasy world. Next is the evil man Caswell. The narrator, who says, ?I have seen few men whom I have so instantaneous...
The manner in which an individual is raised can impact their lives forever. This idea is proven to be true with two characters from the works that were studied this semester. Although they come from completely different worlds, the similarities between these two characters and the manner in which they face the world can be associated with the relationships they had with their families. These two characters are Walter “Rorschach” Kovacs, from Alan Moore's graphic novel which is called Watchmen, and Antoinette, from Jean Rhys' novel which is called Wide Sargasso Sea. First, there is the character of Rorschach. Rorschach is a very angry character, who has a lot of psychological baggage that influences the way that he views the world around him. This worldview can be attributed in part to the manner in which he was raised: with an unstable father figure and an abusive mother. It is because of how he was raised and treated in his early life that Rorschach's personality developed the way that it did in his adult life. Then there is the character of Antoinette from the novel which is called Wide Sargasso Sea. Antoinette is an intelligent woman and originally from a well off family, yet more than that, she is a woman who is desperate for affection and very stubborn. The difficult relationship that she had with her mother and her community at large heavily influenced the development of such a personality. Furthermore, Antoinette's eventual mental breakdowns in her adult life can be attributed to how she was treated throughout her entire life, and from the way that her husband expected them develop and treated her as a result. The families of both Rorschach from Watchmen and Antoinette from Wide Sargasso Sea heavily influence the personali...
The main characters of the novel are travelling into Canada. The non-established landscape was full of wild animals, Aboriginal people, and whiskey posts. This story of conflict is entwined tightly to the story of love. Three brothers known for different qualities, an intellect, ex-military officer, and an idealist all form different relationships with their father, Henry Gaunt, an English gentleman. Therefore the theme of the story has men with money and power come to Canada with a purpose which also stays true to the historical facts because men have a commanding influence in this times social arrangement and the treatment of women gets explained in this book as a less powerful position.
In this essay the main task is going to be to develop all the characteristics about this strange narrator.
The struggle the other characters face in telling Mrs. Mallard of the news of her husband's death is an important demonstration of their initial perception of her strength. Through careful use of diction, Mrs. Mallard is portrayed as dependent. In mentioning her "heart trouble" (12) Chopin suggests that Mrs. Mallard is fragile. Consequently, Josephine's character supports this misconception as she speaks of the accident in broken sentences, and Richards provides little in the way of benefiting the situation. In using excess caution in approaching the elderly woman, Mrs. Mallard is given little opportunity to exhibit her strength. Clearly the caution taken towards Mrs. Mallard is significant in that it shows the reader the perception others have of her. The initial description the author provides readers with creates a picture that Mrs. Mallard is on the brink of death.
The story initially deals with the interactions of three characters: Basil Ransom, Olive Chancellor and Verena Tarrant. The character of Basil Ransom, a Mississippian who has fought in the Civil War on the side of the Confederates, is presented to us as head-strong, determined, full of honor and tough in his own masculinity and as someone who is aware of the world and the society which he lives in but of which he is not fully accepting. Olive Chancellor, (Basil Ransom’s cousin), a Bostonian woman, on the other hand is a hard-hearted woman who is bitter and is quite opposed to the traditional notions of women and men. She believes that the times of traditional feminine and masculine nature is in the past and that women are as equal as men in the changing future of society; she fights against the brutal nature of men with her rugged character in the narrative. The historical context of the story is the Civil War and its influence on the society of the day, Basil who lost everything in the war has to seek new employment and does not see eye to eye with the new ideals of r...

The character analysis is easily divided into three parts. Each of these is discussed in detail on this handout. Examining the character from these three perspectives will help you write an exemplary essay.
In the play, Mrs. Alving, the protagonist, is confronted with problems regarding her past and moral standards, and how those problems greatly affect her in the present. Mrs. Alving was to be a dutiful mother and wife, but she had an unhappy marriage since her husband, a well respected figure in his community, philandered with other women throughout their marriage. Mrs. Alving didn’t want to live with her womanizing husband, and left him. She ran away to her minister, Pastor Manders, whom she was in love with at the time, but was sent home by him, reminding her of her wife duties, and that he, as a minister, needed to protect his reputation. Pastor Manders is a stereotypic person, for this reason, he neglected Mrs. Alving’s problem because he believes that a wife’s duty is not to be her husband’s judge, and told her to stay with her husband instead to, hopefully, change their love for each other. With this in mind, Pastor Manders’ clerical status in the play, at the same time, contradicts Mrs. Alving’s moral standards in her marriage. Although Mrs. Alving complied with Pastor Manders’ advice, Mr. Alving’s philandering did not cease until his death. In addition, Regina, the servant of the Alving estate, is the illegitimate child of Mr. Alving and Mrs. Alving’s former maid, Joana. Regina does not know her originality since she was adopted by Jacob Engstrand, a carpenter, who lat...
