Insult

reason Miss Brill took the insult to her coat so personally, leaving the park immediately and putting the coat away quickly when she returned home (129). I eventually came to the conclusion that the lady with the ermine toque helps to foil Miss Brill’s character, making the insults from the young couple carry more weight and stand out more, while the eiderdown coat represents Miss Brill’s dreams and hopes for the future, helping to explain her reaction to said insults. Later on, I will discuss…

In modern society, courage is a difficult trait to find. For many people, it takes a while to learn what courage truly is and display it throughout whatever troubles come their way. This was the case for some of the characters in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Two of the main characters learn the true meaning of courage throughout the story. At the start of the novel, Jem believes bravery is never turning down a dare, or touching the side of the Radley house, but as the story…

I knew what was going to happen; pain, agony. But I still went, I had to. One by one, insult by insult they broke me down; “Weird”, “Ugly”, “Fat”,…

Montresor’s impulse to kill Fortunato was borne out of “the thousand injuries” (Poe, 377) and sparked by insult. “Being a descendant of a powerful aristocratic family, Montresor could not possibly let Fortunato insult him with impunity” (Baraban). Based on the context of the story, Montresor’s grudge was years in the making. It is apparent that supposed slights and insults caused such hate for Fortunato that Montresor became subject to his base desire to kill Fortunato. “This story lays…

of your tongue, and so good continued, but keep your way, i’ God's name, I have done” (I.I.139-141). The insults that Beatrice is throwing Benedicks way are so vicious that he has to walk away when he runs out of witty comments to throw back.

The only reason that the vicious insults stop, is because of a fraudulent scheme that is made to get Beatrice and Benedick to fall in…

Abruptly, and without explanation, Clifton charges towards her and begins to stab her, screaming gendered insults at her, and exclaiming that she should “die, b***h”. The gendered insults, and underlying hostility that Clifton harbours towards women, due to a prior relationship that had gone bad, can be examined through the lens of feminist theory, which critiques gender…

The Case Against Utilitarianism In John Stuart Mill’s Utilitarianism, he explains that the amount of pleasure and pain is what dictates the morality of actions. An action is justified if it brings more overall pleasure than pain to people. While it is generally agreed upon that pleasure is good and pain is bad, I believe that these qualities by itself cannot determine morality. Utilitarianism is not the right ethical theory to follow because utility is not inherently measurable and pleasure and…

Trampas and the Virginian first encounter through a gambling game. Trampas gets upset with the Virginian and insults him with an insult that was not acceptable at the time except among good friends. When Trampas uses this insult, the Virginian tells him, “When you call me that, smile!”(pp. 29-30). From that moment on the two characters were enemies. This shows that friendships do not always form and that relationships…
