High Noon stars Will Kane, a sheriff who put a criminal in jail, and now is back for revenge on the noon train which is the only way in and out of the town. "The Most Dangerous Game" stars Rainsford, a hunter who gets stuck on a island who hunts men for sport, and is the next prey for the man. The stories might seem not different or similar to some people, but the setting, characters, and themes have both similarities and differences.

William Shakespeare once wrote, “the course of true love never did run smooth.” Shakespeare’s philosophy, extracted from A Midsummer Night’s Dream, appropriately pertains to the storylines of Edgar Allen Poe’s “Annabel Lee” and Alfred Noyes “The Highwayman”. Within Poe’s “Annabel Lee”, the narrator depicts of the true love that he and his “Annabel Lee” harbored but it evokes resentful angels to pursue and murder his lover. As within Noyes’ “The Highwayman”, the narrator portrays of a love so pure between the highwayman and Bess, the landlord’s daughter, in which Bess willingly sacrifices her life in hopes of saving the highwayman from being killed but unfortunately, leaves both lovers dead. Both Poe and Noyes managed to exercise certain

While many works of fiction portray love through a utopian perspective where true love is easy to achieve, the story of Cyrano follows a failed quest for intimacy, where Cyrano’s own tragic flaws stop him from achieving the romance he dreams of. It is these same tragic flaws that help to define Cyrano as a tragic hero in Edmond Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac, and it is these same flaws that eventually lead to Cyrano’s tragic fall. However, some of these flaws are also the admirable traits of the large-nosed hero’s character that also help to define him as hero. Due to this fact, Cyrano is able to gain respect from others, but never truly reaches his ultimate goal of having Roxane’s love. While Cyrano never truly experiences Roxane’s

Many love stories end with happy endings, while others lead to tragedy. A forbidden love story is displayed in the play Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand where a love triangle is created between the main characters. This is shown specifically shown in the balcony scene with the characters Roxane, Christian, and Cyrano. The balcony scene is a representation of how the characters hide their true feelings towards one another to protect the truth. Obstacles prevent those to show true feelings and affections to the ones who mean most.

These factors allow her to successfully hide a dual life style. As the story begins to unfold, the reader learns Connie begins to assert her will and independence, by making tentative moves towards womanhood by developing a second, more adult persona to complement her growing independence. The arrival of the antagonist of the story Arnold Friend, begins the tumultuous, and nail biting climb to the climax of the story and the ultimate theme. As the image of Arnold Friend becomes clearer, the reader becomes more suspicious possibly, because the antagonist could be seen as the main character’s subconscious version of her own desires and dreams. However, as reality hits, and all the characteristics that she recognizes in him: his muscular physique, shaggy black hair, and hawk-like facial features, do not come together the way they should.

It was the driver of the car as well, her boyfriend, who was next to her during that turning point in her life. Together, they were driving towards a new place, a place where they could start a new beginning: "Your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder." For the first time after her mother had left the family, it was somebody else that took care of her and not the other way around. She had somebody besides her that supported and protected her. For the first time after a long while, she felt being loved.

Even Cyrano de Bergerac expresses fear with platonic love when he is met with the chance of seeing Roxane. Le Bret tries to convince Cyrano when he declared, “...your wit, your courage-they can earn love...I saw her face, Roxane’s, tonight during your duel. It was ghastly white. That skill, that courage got the girl. You’re half way there. Now dare to speak.” Cyrano responds “So she can laugh at this? Why, man, there’s nothing that I fear more in this world…”(31). These quotes not only show that Cyrano is very self-conscious of his nose, but he does not even attempt speak, meet with, or make contact with Roxane, unless asked to. This decision by Cyrano might be one of the most fatal decision in his life because he did not tell Roxane how he felt about her before she claimed that she had fallen in love with Christian. As well as being a precieuse, Roxane is also said to use platonic love. This is true because when Roxane was talking about Christian, and states, “...I love him. All that remains for me to say is that I’ve only seen him at the theatre”, after she has mentioned “such a man-intelligent, young, brave, beautiful”(46), she concludes qualities about Christian that can only be decided with the eyes. These quotes also explain that in Roxane’s point of view, love can be depicted in many ways, but external beauty is often the most

Christine is another fractured “Cinderella” story, Carrie for boys. Arnie Cunningham, a nearsighted, acne-scarred loser, falls “in love with” a car, a passionate (red and white)

When adopting a child, you can adopt from many different backgrounds and countries. Historically, it is uncommon for white families to adopt a child of colour or a child of a different culture than their own. Until recently, it was uncommon for white people to even be friends with people of colour. Transcultural adoption has many issues as well as well as many benefits. The goal of my research is to explain all the effects, both good and bad, and evaluate whether it’s ethical to adopt transcultural.

The balance of the love triangle is also thrown awry in the Miller’s tale. Not only if a fourth man present, Alison’s wife John (who is not even included in any form of romance throughout the tale) but Alison’s affection seem to only be for Nicholas. She is easily seduced by Nicholas and has little, to no romantic interest in Absalon, fooling him into kissing her rear and then laughing about it with Nicholas. These elements merely add to the Miller’s tale of perversion, distancing and parodying itself from the Knight’s tale of honor and true love.

The car is one of the most important elements that develops and supports the theme brotherhood. The car is a symbol that is meant to show Lyman and Henry’s close bond, and it holds the key to their definitive separation. The red convertible is also a symbol of success, and a connection to the white world for both Henry and Lyman “ I was

The lovers are in love with themselves being in love. They love each other, but are more preoccupied with being seen as lovers. They often feign mild hatred. She is extremely aware of being watched and plays with the audience for sympathy in their plight and ccasionally flirts with spectators.

The strongly placed point of view creates a characteristic voice in the story. The voice ultimately reminds one of a ‘stream of consciousness’-technique, which influences the story in general. The element of changing appellations stresses how the two kinds of processes are going on in the story; the associating way of reflecting along with the developing state of mind. The different use of how the main character titles himself from “Lane A. Dean, Jr. … Lane Dean, Jr. … Lane Dean … Lane”5 shows how he is mentally changing back and forth, emphasizing this circularly and non-linear reflection. On the other hand the naming of Lane’s girlfriend, Sheri, shows a linear development from “his girlfriend … the girl … she … Sheri … Sheri Fisher”6. The way in which the girlfriend is named gives an impression of how the main character is developing his view of the girlfriend throughout the story. From an anonymous approach, ‘the girl’, to actually addressing her by her full name “Sheri Fisher”, This use of the narrative technique creates a stream of consciousness and creates an associating but yet authentic feeling – a feeling that enlightens the complex main theme of the story.

Young Stephen's first romantic interest in the opposite sex comes in the form of his playmate, Eileen, whom he plans to marry when they are older. This assertion, although childishly innocent, is nonetheless the first suggestion that sexual and romantic relationships with women will be important to Stephen as he matures. Indeed, the appearance of punishment, romance, and inspiration at such an early point in the novel creates a sense of the interconnected effect they will have on Stephen and his art. The association of women with each of these essential elements establishes yet another link between them, and emphasizes the central role women will play in Stephen's life.
