Knowledge plays an incredibly large part of Mary Shelly’s novel, Frankenstein. I think that Victor’s obsessive and unhealthy search for knowledge is the true cause of his suffering. Not only does he neglect his friends and family while working to create the monster he puts his own health in danger. “I had worked hard for nearly two years, for the sole purpose of infusing life into an inanimate body. For this I had deprived myself of rest and health.” In this quote we see that Victor stops at nothing to find if he would be successful with his creation. Victor has made this project such a main priority that once it is completed and the creature comes to life he does not know what to do. Since Victor has met his goals and done what he said he wanted to do he does not want to deal with the being he just created so this becomes a problem for him. We see that Victor was very troubled by this whole experience when he says, “You seek for knowledge and wisdom, as I once did; and I ardently hope that the gratification of your wishes may not be a serpent to sting you, as mine has been.”

This mask depicts Jack’s identity from the book Lord of the Flies. Starting from the bottom of the mask, there is a quote from Jack which is one of the last things he says before leaving Ralph’s group: “I’m not going to play any longer. Not with you”. This quote is significant to Jack because not only does it show the end of the impact on Jack that the tamed and edified society Ralph has developed, it shows how childish he is. Before Jack says this, he puts Ralph’s conch on the grass in front of him and cries.

Lord of The Flies William Golding’s, “Lord of the Flies” is about a group of schoolboys who are deserted on an island, yes, but it is also so about power, and who has control over one another. So when the leader of the stranded schoolboys, Ralph, holds a meeting, and a young boy named Percival informs everyone via Piggy, that he thinks he witnessed a giant squid emerging from the ocean, I thought, Maybe the giant squid Percival thought he saw wasn’t a giant squid at all. Maybe it represents something else. What else could a giant squid represent than just a giant squid?

In the story “Hop Frog” by Edgar Allan Poe, Hop Frog is justified in his act of revenge at the end of the story because the king is cruel and abusive toward him and Trippetta, and the king forcibly takes Hop Frog and Trippetta from their homes against their own will. First of all, Hop Frog is justified for his revenge because the king is cruel and abusive towards him and Trippetta. After Trippetta pleads for the king to spare Hop Frog, “he pushed her violently from him, and threw the contents of the brimming goblet in her face” (Poe 902). This is a very disrespectful and cruel way to treat someone who is a servant. The king knows Hop Frog dislikes wine, but he still makes him drink it anyways.
