It is thus notsurprising that he was relaxed and unconcerned about his circumstances at the company ashe entered the employee lounge to attend the late-afternoon welcoming reception for his newsupervisor. The new manager of accounts payable, Kristin, had been transferred to Steven’s divisionfrom a similar position in another subsidiary of the company because of her proven talent fororganizing and improving the efficiency of operations there. A no-nonsense type ofmanager, Kristin was experienced and determined to perform her new assignment with thesame vigor that had brought her so much success throughout her career. At the reception, Kristin circulated through the room, introducing herself to her newsubordinates and asking each of them if they had any suggestions that would help make thepayables section a better place to work. When she approached Steven, he told her aboutsomething that had been on his mind lately: that people seemed to him to gain promotionsand be given opportunities to work overtime based on who liked them, and not on the qualityof their work. In reply, Kristin politely stated that she would do everything that she could tosee that whatever...

...27 January 2014 Pride and Prejudice: Marxist Theory Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen illustrates how money shapes the attitude and the behavior of people. The main idea that Jane Austen presents is the Marxist Theory. This theory states that the underlying reason for . Elizabeth Bennet, the protagonist of the story, faces many characters who believe that money is the underlying factor to which someone should marry. A main example of this is Elizabeth’s mother Mrs. Bennet, who in fact believes that all of her daughters should get married, however marriage is not entirely about true love; Mrs. Bennet’s view on marriage is that her daughters should chase after a man who have great wealth. Throughout the book, Jane Austen consistently shows the upper class looking down toward the middle class, which is fairly ironic for the fact that they are not that poor if they are considered to be middle class. To continue, Jane Austen’s portrayal of, not all but quite a few, wealthy characters summarize the main theme of the novel, which is the power of societal reputation and money. In Pride and Prejudice nothing was further stressed than having economic power, money, and marriage. The first quote, “It is truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.” (Austen 1) establishes what type of book this is going to be. Right out of the gate this quotation introduces the importance of economic power; this also shows the reader(s)...

...Holloway English 4 9 December 2015 Social Statuses in Jane Eyre In Bronte’s Jane Eyre, the main character Jane is an orphan who lives with her very rich aunt. In the book, the issue of social status and slavery comes into play, and Jane encounters these different status’s and even in conflict trying to determine her own. Many times within the book, her social status changes and her perspective of who she is, compared to the other around her, is constantly changing.

...casually help them load all their possessions into a truck. Sound scary? That’s because it’s supposed to. The borrachero is real and dangerous. The active substance is scopolamine and is extracted from the Bugmansia plant, also known as Angel’s Trumpet, which grows wild throughout the Andes. The stories about criminals chemically making people compliant are an urban myth. There’s plenty of mystery surrounding scopolamine and it’s ability to create submission. Nazi doctor Joseph Mengele, known as the “Angel of Death”, supposedly experimented with the drug as an questioning aid. The CIA had a similar idea and investigated it as a truth serum, but it was unsuccessful. It’s mentioned in a number of Hollywood movies, including “Where Eagles Dare”, “The Guns of Navarone” and “Robocop 2”. So it’s not surprising that scopolamine pops up in the international press every once in a while. There are stories of politicians forced into smuggling suitcases of cocaine; men who handed over all their money to prostitutes; or the jeweler who gave away all his stock because of a scopolamine-laced business card. They’re the kind of stories you’d definitely pass on to other travelers to warn someone about the dangers of people who...

...borders on villainy. Discuss the characterization of Mr Rochester in jane eyre in light of this statement. Mr Rochester is different and varies from the idea of the conventional tragic Byronic hero. Byronic heroes are usually extraordinarily handsome or appealing physically. However, from a physical point of view, Mr Rochester is not in any way handsome in a traditional sense. In chapter 13, he is described as “having broad and jetty eyebrows; his square forehead, made squarer by the horizontal sweep of his black hair. I recognised his decisive nose, more remarkable for character than beauty; his full nostrils, denoting, I thought, choler; his grim mouth, chin, and jaw—yes, all three were very grim, and no mistake. His shape, now divested of cloak, I perceived harmonised in squareness with his physiognomy”. Although his craggy looks should in fact make him a social outcast, he overcomes his physical “deformities” by having a passionate and colourful personality, making him one of the most sensual and interesting characters in jane eyre. People are drawn to him despite his physical appearance, and he has a high standing in society (although this could be attributed partly to his wealth). Next, Byronic heroes are wounded physically and/or emotionally—vulnerable in some way. We first encounter Mr Rochester when his horse slipped on the ice, causing him to fall and spraining his ankle. He needed to rely to Jane for help to get back to his horse, Mesrour. Jane's momentous meeting...

...Essay Luong A7-02 English Literature Division - HUFS Nguyen Hien Luong A7-02 Teacher: Nguyen Tuan Ky On the inspiring development of Jane Eyre’s character in the Charlotte Bronte’s novel of the same name Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre is a master work of 19th century English literature and a powerful symbol of the triumph of self will over circumstances. Jane Eyre overcame very trying — or should we say impossible — circumstances to obtain her personal freedom and self-determination at the end of the story. Her success is a powerful inspiration to millions of readers around the world. However, in my opinion, the most inspiring about the novel is not Jane’s success itself, but her character development, which served as the catalyst for this success. This essay aims to illustrate the uniqueness of Jane’s character development, and attempts to explain why this unique development took place. What makes Jane’s character development special and unique is the fact that this type of development is not at all typical for people who were physically or mentally abused (as Jane certainly was during much of her ten-year stay at her uncle’s house). As a matter of fact, these people often grow up carrying with them emotional wounds that can never be healed. As a result, they are more likely to develop difficult personalities and turn into rebellious and violent individuals who see life and other human beings with much hatred. A research (Cathy Spatz Widom, "The Cycle...

...To Have Pride is To Have Vanity Jane Austen quoted,” Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.” The Crucible demonstrates this quote greatly. I have always felt that as humans, vanity is one of our most faulty talents and that it is very hard to do one without the other. Vanity is an over abundance of pride on oneself. Pride is a feeling of satisfaction in something a person has achieved or is well at. The two terms can flow very easily together to form an unnecessary end. John Proctor shows an excellent example in act four. As he goes to sign the confession, given by Danforth, he rips it in half after signing it. Danforth goes to ask him why he had just done the unthinkable and Proctor answers with unwavering vanity that it is his name, to sign the confession would be to sign his name off as a hoard of lies. John shows much vanity in this scene by the emotions and pride in his tone. He has too much pride in his name and himself that it costs his...

...around image in society, that could drag them down for the the rest of their lives and certain female expectations were amplified due to gender. Pride and Prejudice is an ordinary novel at first, but has complex layers showing the female struggle, one being woman’s image in society. In the 19th century, women were harshly judges on behavior, manners and the financial aspect of their marriage. If a woman was in her mid-twenties and unmarried, she could, and most likely would, be considered an old maid, even at the prime age of twenty-five. This could lead to harsh gossip seeping through society , and a great amount of mockery by other married women, even family like Lydia, because in that day and age, women were gossiped about more than men, “Jane will be quite an old maid soon, I declare. She is almost...

Chapter 1 I t is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters. ‘My dear Mr. Bennet,’ said his lady to him one day, ‘have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?’ Mr. Bennet replied that he had not. ‘But it is,’ returned she; ‘for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it.’ Mr. Bennet made no answer. ‘Do you not want to know who has taken it?’ cried his wife impatiently. ‘YOU want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.’ This was invitation enough. ‘Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of England; that he came down on Monday in a chaise and four to see the place, and was so much delighted with it, that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to take possession before Michaelmas, and some of his Pride and Prejudice servants are to be in the house by the end of next week.’ ‘What is his name?’ ‘Bingley.’ ‘Is he married or single?’ ‘Oh!

... I soon discovered that some of these masterpieces left me cold, including those written by Henry James, Joseph Conrad and especially Jane Austen. Although I would never deny that they were great writers, their words did not resonate with me. After reading 50 or so pages of ?Pride and Prejudice,? I found myself wondering what all the hype was about. I was left cold by an endless round of country balls, dinner parties and arch dialogue that always sounded self-conscious and somewhat artificial. To illustrate: Elizabeth Bennett, the major character who is based on Jane Austen herself, is in one of her frequent 'cutting' exercises with Fitzwilliam D?Arcy--reminiscent of an old Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy movie. Like Hepburn and Tracy, these two spend most of their time hating each other until they finally discover that they really are in love. (I myself had a different take on the matter. In my experience, people generally start off in love and then discover that they really hate each other, especially after being married for a few years--excluding me of course.) Austen writes: "I am perfectly convinced by it that Mr. Darcy has no defect. He owns it himself without disguise." "No"' -- said Darcy, "I have made no such pretension. I have faults enough, but they are not, I hope, of understanding. My temper I dare not vouch for. -- It is I believe too little...
