Just like it states in line 55 in the passage, Don Jose is doomed by his love to Carmen. He made so many mistakes to ruin his own life. Don Jose career is lost forever as well as his future as a solder. Jose’s relationship with Micaela was also doomed by Carmen and his mistakes. Don Jose lost everything because he fell in love with Carmen. He lost his career, his future as a solder and finally his relationship with Micaela. Don Jose career was lost by his love to Carmen because he let Carmen escape from jail. By doing so he got punished and entered jail himself. One detail is “As punishment for helping her to escape. Don Jose goes to military jail…” He sends his time in military jail and not as a solder guarding prisoners in jail. Carmen ruined Don’s career and dreams forever, and wasted time from his life and his career. But after all that happened Don fell in love with her. Another detail is “…and passes each moment thinking only of Carmen.” He fell in deep love with her. Carmen doomed his career but Don fell in love with her anyway. …show more content…
No one will accept him even Carmen. One detail is “when he is released. Don Jose deserts the regiment and follows Carmen into the mountains. He knows he has dishonored his name, but he is hopelessly mesmerized by the coquettish factory worker, Carmen.” After all, that happened and he is still thinking to go to Carmen. Carmen gets bored of him and throws him out and looked for another man. He is now worthless to everyone even himself. Don Jose will kill Carmen. Another detail is “Don Jose stops her outside the bullring and begs her to return to him. Carmen refuses. Mad with jealousy, Don Jose stabs Carmen to death. The curtain closes as he is arrested.” And Carmen ruins his life again. After he killed her, he entered jail for the second time and this future was lost
Dagoberto Gilb, an esteemed author, wrote the short story, “Love in L.A.” Jake is stuck in LA traffic in his ‘58 Buick on Alvarado Street, underneath the overpass of the Hollywood Freeway. He imagines having a better car with a FM radio and crushed velvet interior. He rearends the car in front of him because he is too involved in this daydream of freedom. He checks his car for damage and then goes up to the Toyota. He asks the lady how she is doing and if her car is damaged. He hopes that something is wrong so that they can talk more. He asks her out for breakfast or coffee and she rejects both offers. She asks for his driver's licence, but he claims that he left his wallet in his pants from the previous night. Instead, he writes down a fake
Learning is important for countless reasons, the most important reason being that it molds a person into who he or she is. What people choose to learn, and also what they choose not to, create the core of their opinions as individuals. Though people do not admit it or openly declare it, it is fair to say almost everyone is self centered. Because of this, and the fact that learning dramatically affects a person, learning is not only thrilling, but also expressive. Furthermore, since learning is expressive, its meaning varies from person to person, therefore making each person’s experiences with learning unique and life changing.
Our lady of Guadalupe is the most venerated and respected by the Catholics. The appearance of the Virgin caused a great commotion in the Catholic Church. Ever since the Virgin's first appearance, Catholics have respected and acquired so much faith to the Virgin. The lady of Guadalupe has so many faithful followers that believe in her without any hesitation because of the miracles that she has made for the people that were once suffering and were miraculously helped by her. Because of the help that she has provided for those who were suffering people never forget her and they celebrate the day of her appearance every year by doing parties in her honor. The Lady of Guadalupe’s appearance certainly changed the belief of Catholics and, I believe
Throughout the time I spent between the covers of The Prince of Los Cocuyos, I was astounded by Richard Blanco’s dynamic relationship with the novel’s sole “antagonist”: his abuela. It seemed that no matter how many times he was chagrined at her attempts to negotiate the English language, or was forced to repress his very personhood to meet her traditional standards of manhood, she never ceased to be a pillar of support for a young Richard Blanco. But beyond his grandmother, Mr. Blanco made it quite clear that he was surrounded by a pueblo of family and friends throughout his childhood and adolescence, a village that would confound his “becoming” but foster his growth, make him question his identity and yet be intricately connected to it. It
If asked, “what is the most important thing a person needs?” one of the most prevalent answer would be money. However, do people think about the negative influence money has on them. In the short story “El Tonto Del Barrio,” the author, José Armas uses characterization, irony, and symbolism to show how money makes people greedy for more.
The character of Demetrio Macias proves to be quite ironic. One facet of his character reveals his determination to find Pancho Villa’s army, while the other side of his character parallels the extraordinary qualities Pancho Villa had as a hero. People viewed Pancho Villa as a revered hero who pushed out foreign "proprietors" and fought for the common man. On one hand, there is the compassionate man who helped those in need and rescued orphans providing them with food, education, and a home. On the other hand, there was the ferocious general who destroyed villages and killed innocent victims. Villa was generous and helpful to his followers, of which he insisted on loyalty and trust, but to those who violated his trust and authority, he was merciless and cruel. We can clearly see the similarities of these two leaders when we analyze their noble actions. Demetrio’s reluctance to stop ...
The book and movie of Don Quijote de La Mancha has many differences and similarities. There are a lot of differences in the book and movie. First, in the movie Sancho is in the beginning of the movie with the scene of him about to shave. In the book, Don Quijote meets Sancho later on and starts the journey with him. Second, Don Quijote fights two other knights in the movie. He wins the first fight and then loses the second fight. In the book, there was no fight with any knight. Third, in the movie Don Quijote has more than one adventure. In the book he only has one adventure and it ends when Don Quijote is sleeping in bed at his home. There are many similarities in the book and movie as well. First, Don Quijote fights the bags of wine in both
One of Claudio’s symptoms of his tragic flaw is being gullible ultimately guided the story from beginning to end. In the beginning, when Don Pedro wooed Hero for Claudio, Don John took advantage of Claudio and tried to turn him against Don Pedro, telling him that Don Pedro wooed Hero for himself. Hearing this news, Claudio bid off Hero… Without even checking if what Don John said was true. Claudio responded to something somebody else told him, without having an opinion or even evidence to back it up. Conversely because Claudio fell for that trick so easily, Don John saw an opportunity to form an evil plan involving
Don John is the illegitimate half brother of Don Pedro in the play. Don Pedro is the Prince of Aragon and is highly respected throughout the play, whereas Don John is treated with cautious attention and indifference. In Act one scene three, Leonato greets Don Pedro rather enthusiastically and respectfully,
Tricking her to believe that Don Pedro himself has feelings for Hero: ‘I will assume thy part in disguise, and tell fair Hero that I am Claudio, and in her bosom I’ll unclasp my heart, and take her hearing prisoner with the force and strong encounter of my amorous tale. Then after, to her father will I break: and the conclusion is, she shall be thine.’ - Don Pedro. o (Act I, Scene I: Lines 276 - 282). It is reported to Don John by Borachio that “…The Prince should woo Hero for himself, and having obtained her, give her to Count Claudio.
John said that “...the lady is disloyal” (49). Claudio was in disbelief, saying things like “Who, Hero?” and “Disloyal?” showing that he was very confused about all of this. That was until John said that he could show Claudio that it was true. Claudio agreed to go out one night with a few others. The group was lead by Don John who was showing them Borachio and another woman making love rather than Hero and another man. Claudio believed what he saw and so did everyone else so yet again, Don John had succeeded in tricking them into thinking that someone else was doing something bad. This ended up with Claudio making the biggest mistake in the entire play. In Act 4, Scene 1, Claudio and Hero are getting married officially until Claudio says he won’t marry Hero. He then goes into a huge tantrum, saying things like “Not to be married, not to knit my soul to an approved wanton” (66) and in the end Hero faints. The people that were left there made a plan to make it seem like Hero died so that Claudio’s love, as shown when the Friar says “She dying-as it must be so maintain’d-” (72) for her would be rekindled and he would love her again. This plan ends up working, but only after Claudio goes through so much to show his
In the Prologue, Miguel De Cervantes describes a parent’s unconditional love. It states, “It sometimes happens that a father has an ugly son with no redeeming grace whatever, yet love will draw a veil over the parental eyes which then behold only cleverness and beauty in place in defects out to be the signs of comeliness and intellect. In my opinion, I believe that he is not describing a physically ugly son, but instead a person with an ugly personality or ugly character. This describes a person who is unkind, mean, rude, disrespectful, or selfish. A parent’s unconditional love is what leads to the veil pulled over the eyes that is described in Don Quixote. Parents mainly see the good in their kids because they love their kids and want the
... change his life to do things for the better. It was the terrible past that he constantly is reminded of as his driving force. The same goes for Dulce Rosa, without Tadeo missing his key happiness to come and find her, she would have him live with his guilt of not having to live with the women his soul could ever love (Charters 47). It seems as though it was all meant to be for the both them. It was all at the cost of the Senator Anselmo Orellano. War is not something that an individual should wish upon another person, until after reassessing the repercussions of it.
Don John and Don Pedro are so different it’s surprising they're even brothers. The Book Much Ado about Nothing by William Shakespeare has a wide cast of characters. They all go through the same story while experiencing very different changes, and in some cases are complete opposites to each other. But there are two very different characters that stood out to me, Don Pedro and his brother Don John. Don Pedro is very calm and friendly to just about anyone while Don John is sly and doesn’t care about anyone other than himself. Don John (DJ) is a character foil to Don Pedro because he highlights all the good characteristics of Don Pedro (DP). The specific places in which they are character foils are in their actions, personality, and social status.
The lines selected for analysis are Act II, Scene I, lines 277-291, when Antonio is trying to reassure Sebastian that killing his brother—the King of Naples—is a good idea and well worth the effort. As the reader knows, Antonio usurped his brother, Prospero, and became the Duke of Milan. This sets the stage for his attitude towards Sebastian’s wanting to kill his brother, King Alonso. Because of Antonio’s past actions he sees nothing wrong with getting rid of a family member for personal gain, but his reasons for doing so began at a young age and have been etched into his brain. Antonio’s psychological depth reveals that he is a man jealous of his brother’s rightful power, and stemming from that is his insecurity and lust for power wherever he may find it (in this case, having power over Sebastian). Antonio is not a good person, has few conscientious thoughts, and is now trying to convince his companion to follow his lead. If Antonio’s brother, Prospero, was to hear the selected lines, he would say that the only time Antonio thinks about performing acts that will get him power, by eliminating those who currently have it, is when it is to his advantage. He would say that Antonio devises plans to get rid of leaders when they are at a disadvantage, and he at an advantage, because he doesn’t feel that he could succeed otherwise—his insecurities kicking in. I don’t think Shakespeare agrees with Antonio, and there are two examples in the play to support that.
