Hamlets mother gets poisoned, Ophelia drowns so it seems no character is safe in the play and lastly Hamlet himself dies which really pulls the archetype through basically the entire story. One of the best quotes from the play that pretty much sums up death is “Thou know'st 'tis common; all that lives must die,…

ourselves in a state of depression when we aren’t able to fulfil our own expectations. “Death of a Salesman”, by Arthur Miller is a play that I would focus on psychological criticism because of the problems the main character, Willy Loman, faces and how he is blinded by it all.

I thought I saw him nod. ‘For you, a thousand times over,’ I heard myself say” (Hosseini, 371). The phrase “for you, a thousand times over,” symbolizes Amir’s transformation into a more selfless and more loyal character like Hassan, for Hassan always said that phrase to Amir.

The book is so seamlessly written that it is not merely lifelike but also, in the best sense, novel like. It narrates a story in a skillful manner, with much attention to character.

“shut up, Bobby Lee,” the misfit said, its no real pleasure in life. I feel that only two characters changed throughout this story, which were the grandmother and the misfit. I feel that the other characters of the story; not only did not have much time to change, but after the car accident they were not able to have a life changing moment like the misfit and the grandmother.
