Quotes In Jonathan Harker's Count
The quote stated above is respectfully the first quote which shows the audience that there is something quite strange about the Count. The Count is stating that he does not sup. Then after being how polite and hospitable, one would think that it is certainly odd that he did not sup along with his “company.” The audience may start to think that while Jonathan Harker sups, that the Count may be up to something.

    This quote is taken place when Brent reaches the hospital and Brent is in a lot of physical pain and believes things will be best if he just dies. However, this last sentence states that Brent doesn’t want to die anymore. The author wanted to write these specific lines, because as a reader one can see the growth in Brent’s character and perception. We see in the beginning of the book how suicidal and self-destructive Brent was, from hiding knives in his room to his many suicide attempts. The wanting to kill himself is slowly subsiding while Brent is learning to appreciate life and his friends and family.…

    Captain John Yossarian possesses this aggressiveness, lack of morality, and courage characteristic of anti-hero, stemming from a desire to stay alive as long as possible. Major Sanderson diagnoses Yossarian, saying, “‘You have a morbid aversion to dying... You have deep-seated survival anxieties… It wouldn’t surprise me if you’re a manic-depressive!’” (Heller 303). This quote is important because it tells the reader why Yossarian is so aggressive and dishonest; he will do whatever it takes to stay alive. Clevinger also explains Yossarian’s behavior: “...a homicidal impulse to machine-gun strangers, retrospective falsification, and an unfounded suspicion that people hated him and were conspiring to kill him” (Heller 20). Along with this quote,…

    The final technique that Swift employs to exacerbate tensions between the British and Irish as a result of Ireland’s struggling economy is a satirical ethos, impersonating an economist to suggest that without British cooperation, eating children is the only viable resolution to Ireland’s economy. Swift diction reflects this purpose as he employs economic jargon repeatedly throughout the essay, including as “commodity, yield, computed, per annum, and net profit” (Swift) . He contributes to the persona later in the essay, when he makes realistic calculations to “prove” that cannibalism will benefit the economy , such as “subtracting thirty thousand couples” to find that “there will remain an hundred and seventy thousand breeders” (Swift 6). After…

    In the Narrative of the Life of Fredrick Douglass, Douglass uses rhetorical devices to convey his meaning that slavery is the worst possible experience for humanity in a contemptuous tone. Douglass states, “the wretchedness of slavery, and the blessedness of freedom, were perpetually before me.” This use of antithesis in parallel structure is used to convey his meaning by contrasting the two ideas of slavery and freedom, showing how extremely awful or beautiful each is and to show the differences between them. The use of the word “wretchedness” creates a contemptuous tone in this quote. He then goes on to state that upon arriving in New York he felt “like one who had escaped a den of hungry lions.” This simile is used to show the extent of his fear when in the south, showing how slavery is the worst experience for humankind. This comparison is made using a scornful tone, shown by the dehumanizing of the South through slavery. Next, Douglass explains that during his stay in the North “[he] was afraid to speak to any one for fear of speaking to any one for fear of speaking to the wrong one, and thereby falling into the hands of money-loving kidnappers, whose business it was to lie in wait for the panting fugitive, as the ferocious beats of the forest lie in wait for their prey.” Douglass writes this long sentence for the rhetorical effect of imitating the style of a person ranting, or speaking uncontrollably due to fear to show the horror of slavery. This is written in a bitter or scornful tone through his descriptions of the fugitive kidnappers. Douglass also includes that “[he] saw in every white man an enemy and in every colored man cause for distrust.” This almost equal parallelism is used to compare the common fear Douglass had for both races. The negative outlook on both races shows Douglass’s disdainful tone. Douglass further explains his outlook when he states his motto at the time was “Trust no man!” This…

    An innocent black man charged for raping a white woman- the trial that teaches Jean Louise “Scout” Finch about society’s prejudice. In the Great Depression, slavery had ended but blacks were still segregated and treated as less than whites. Therefore, blacks were stereotyped as untrustworthy, evil, and savage, especially around white women. The symbolism of the sinful killing of an innocent is shown throughout Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird through the use of simile, the corrupt justice system taking away the naiveté of children, and the comparison of Boo Radley.…
