Gabriel

As well as offering a structure for the novel, religious concerns dominate the content as John mulls over the expectations that he will follow his father, Gabriel’s calling and be a preacher. Throughout John’s story, a lot was expected from him; he was expected to live the holy life, to pour his soul into the religion and accept it as a part of his life, and most importantly, “everyone had always said that John would be a preacher when he grew up” (pg.1). All of these expectations from his…

Gabriel, consequently, represents – like the Town-Ho – a worldview antithetical to Ahab’s own, further confirming that Ishmael does not want to craft one image of the whale. That Gabriel does in some ways seem to predict the future (“‘thou [Ahab] art soon going’” to die, and indeed Ahab does) may lend at least some credence to his view of the whale: at the very least, it is not something to be tampered with (Melville 254). Gabriel may also be Ishmael’s way of telling…

To the colonizer, the effort of transforming a country until it no longer seems unfamiliar can be recognized as noble, the lesser culture has been converted into a mirror image of their own great civilization. To the culture being dominated this mirror is most similar to one you would find at a carnival; they look into it and see a twisted, hardly recognizable version of what they once were. The colonization of a country by a greater power impacts the internal culture of the country not only…

influence their choices. Gabriel Olondriz is one of these characters. He had done something so large that it ended with him receiving a life sentence to Colva Prison. “I had so much evidence. Unfortunately for me, I was naive. My office was raided. The same night, there was a terrible fire at my house.” This quote was found on page 116.

Both of which contain story elements that seem to be common in all types of literature. There are many different story elements but in both stories, there are a few that stand out to me, but one of which I feel spoke strongly to me was the secrets of the women in both “The Dead” and “A Doll’s House”. What I mean by this is in both stories the women held until the end…
