    Charles Dickens Ambiguous Characters

    Charles Dickens portrays Madame Defarge, Sydney Carton, and Charles Darney as morally ambiguous characters.

His past experiences gave him an insight of morally ambiguous characters to use in his novel. Madame Defarge can clearly be described as hasty, vengeful, whatever nasty adjective seen fit.…

    Jesus Shaves By David Sedaris Faith Based On Cultural Opinion

    At first the narrator seems selfish, to be honest, on the whole Easter Bunny and Bell from Rome discussion and his incapacity to accept the tradition of the French. However, the narrator shows he has grown in his own religious dogma, he was able to make a connection with the other students and especially with himself. Behind all of the jokes and dialogue there is a message shared with the readers that is much more complex than it appears to be. Through the characters it is expressed that traditions and religion are much more than the food, family, and gifts, but instead what is most significant is our own faith. In the end the characters were never able to come to a resolution about Easter, but the effect that this discussion had on each character and their own faith is what truly matters.…
