And when ordinary fellows like you and me attempt to cope with their idiosyncrasies the results can be bungling. Most women are moody and whimsical.

Rose For Emily 1 St Edition
2,013 wordsA Rose for Emily A Rose for Emily might be interpreted in so many ways. Author stresses that A Rose for Emily is a ghost fairy-tale. On the other hand, the plot of the story has lack of any abstracts dedicated to a straight demonstration of ghost, therefore it is difficult to support Faulkner's point of view. In spite of it, the stories there are elements such as sense of times, few episodes, and some other evidences for Faulkner's tale. The Griersons home represents a shift from old to new by h...

Hamlet And Ophelia Series Of Events
1,685 wordsThe Madness of Hamlet and Ophelia It was fascinating to look at how many characters in Shakespeare s plays poked at the brink of insanity. It seems to me, the plays couldn t have been tragedies if this didn t happen. In the plays we read, important characters evolved into madness, the plot thickened, figures died, and the tragedy prevailed. It was really interesting to see how this series of events would be an ongoing theme in the Shakespearean plays. Even though the same outcome was to be expec...
