As the years go by I sit and I wonder what will you be doing this year that year comes it's the same as the year before the next year come and it's the same I want so bad to be the person I never been which is a better me I put so much on myself telling myself you aren't good enough to be this and to do that and over years I continued to believe the lie I kept telling myself I want to be a nurse so bad but something in my head keeps saying you aren't smart enough to be a nurse when deep down…

The facade of order in King Lear is made apparent by the family unit. The family unit represents how fragile society really is on a smaller scale. When Lear gives his power away, he disregards the natural law of man, triggering social disorder to arise not only among the members of his family, but also among the kingdom. Nature is perceived as a moral compass and used to justify actions of certain characters, mostly Lear. Lear defies nature when he deems himself a master of the natural world…

and being any identity that they want to pretend to be. This can be reflected in Fortunato behavior since he is drunk and literally dressed as a fool: “The man wore motley. He had on a tight-fitting parti-striped dress, and his head was surmounted by the conical cap and bells” (Poe 248). Moreover, Fortunato does not have then intention to be seen as a fool, but on how the story develops in irony. At the end the irnoy takes over when Fortunato is fooled to go to underground catacombs, in that…

January (hence the name) and the significance of the holiday in the play is clear when considering the way in which the play capitalises on the acceptable idea of misrule. Examples of misrule in the play include the mistreatment of Malvolio, and the fool, Feste, being one of the most intelligent characters present. By capitalising on the ideas of twelfth night, the play can easily embrace the idea of misrule and the suspension of the expected social…

education, he believes Jim is the one being pig-headed because “if he got a notion in his head once, there warn’t no getting it out again” (78). The boy does not want to believe he is less intelligent than a slave, especially someone who believes he can fool easily. Instead of facing his prejudices, and his hurt ego, Huck mistakes Jim’s rigor for being stubborn. When Jim uses the analogy of cutting up a dollar in two and it holding no value to either person (78), he likens this anecdote to the…

are prime examples. Daisy is portrayed as the prime example of a woman in the “roaring” twenties. Daisy married a wealthy man, has little motivation, and desires to be taken care of. Daisy has a child, a daughter whom she says she hopes “will be a fool, that’s the best…

The video starts to play. The video is strange. The first thing that comes up is, fingers that have been crushed, across the black screen.

Further on Montag deals with multiple inner conflicts that makes him always second guess. Montag comes to realize that he is changing and is willing to accept change. In Fahrenheit 451, Bradbury writes, “And one day he would look back upon the fool and know the fool. Even now he could feel the start of the long journey, the leaver-taking the goin-away from the self he had been.” (103) This illuminates the idea of Montag changing and is coming to terms of who he was and who he is going to be. He…

Fortunato’s costume is similar to what a Jester or “fool” would have worn: “He had on a tight-fitting parti-striped dress, and his head was surmounted by the conical cap and bells” (292). This costume is very appropriate for Fortunato since he is ignorant of Montresor’s true intentions right up until the very end. He is also seen as inebriated throughout the story. Both of these characteristics describe a fool. Montresor’s costume is seen as, “a mask of black silk,” and he is wearing…
