Her “anger at the conditions of motherhood…become translated into

Peeking Behind the Masks In Cold Blood, Streetcar Named Desire, and Fences In life, we all attempt to project some kind of personality to others.

Richard II. Henry believes that by gaining the throne of England he has done an honourable deed, yet he admits that the fighting and bloodshed could continue, A. . . ill sheathed knife . . . @ (I.1.17). He, also, admits that his own son, Prince Hal, is not honourable enough to occupy the throne, Asee riot and dishonour stain the brow of my young Harry" (I.1.17).

the soldiers to shoot them, they had to deliberately go against their nature to kill the babies. Another example from Night is when Rabbi Eliahu’s son leaves him. His son was never told to leave his father, he made his own choice. The fact that Elie Weisel was able to stay with his father shows that this was neither nature nor nurture.

Later on, however, he uses deceptive means to detect any foul actions his son may be committing while he is off on his own in Paris.

The mask also allows the slave to have an identity without the master’s detection.
