Julius Caesar and Character

¶ … prim geography teacher. She is a disciplinarian who adopts strict rules for her classroom. Her teaching style is a common-sense method with her former students and citizens of Liberty Hill regarding her as the embodiment of wisdom and gentility. Like Miss Dove, Leiningen believes in hard work, refusing to leave his estate despite a swarm of soldier ants nearing his property. Early in the story it is shown he is wise as well.

"First he had vanquished primal forces by cunning and organization, then he had enlisted the resources of modern science to increase miraculously the yield of his plantation." However, there are some differences. For example, Miss Dove is strict, reprimanding David Burnham for swearing. "Nothing is achieved by swearing," Miss Dove's sentence read. "Twenty Times." Leiningen is not like that with the people he works with on his estate. He encourages them to stay with him to fight the ants.

The Indians trusted Leiningen and followed his orders out of respect for him, not because he disciplined them. They both show kindness and wisdom. For example, Bill, one of Miss Dove's best pupils, was poor and unkempt. Miss Dove helped him by giving him odd jobs, even purchasing a suit for Bill for his graduation. That kind of selflessness is seen in Leiningen when he floods his plantation to save his men.

Even though he lost a year's worth of crops, he stopped part of the ant threat with that act. Another key difference between both characters is Leiningen is spontaneous and Miss Dove adheres to routine. Even after she had the surgery, she went into detail about what ever class needs to review. Leiningen when the ants attack him, decides to use the petrol against them and save himself from the vicious attack. Both Leiningen and Miss Dove have people around the care for them and admire their abilities.

However, they do so from different standpoints. Leiningen is an aggressive person whereas Miss Dove is passive and formal. In terms of the five clues, this can be gleamed from Holmes' explanation to Watson. "...he explained in the early hours of the morning we sat over a glass of whisky and soda in Baker Street." The first clue was keeping the simpleminded pawnbroker away for several hours each day. The second clue was the strong motive taken from Spaulding's willingness to labor for half pay.

The third clue was his 'disappearing act' into the cellar. The fourth clue was the state of Clay's trousers: "worn, wrinkled, and stained." The first and most significant clue was their demonstration of not caring about getting Wilson out of the way by closing the League offices. Part 2 The main difference in character between Michael and Earnest is familiarity. Earnest is coming of age and then grows to become an old man with the reader experiencing this. Michael is at first seen as a stranger Simon addresses.

His motives are not all that clear as seen when he stares beyond the shoulder of the nobleman, smiling for a second time during his stay there. "A man came to order boots that should wear for a year without losing shape or cracking." This enigmatic personality is what differentiates the two. The similarities are seen in the character's development. Both experience events in the story through a time span of years and therefore learn through time.

Both also are sensitive to other people as seen with Michael realizing the nobleman needed leather slippers for his death and Ernest recognizing the slight flaws in the four men. Another similarity is Michael is an angel and knows God's word, so does Ernest who acquires the position of the local lay preacher. In terms of experiences, Michael came in as an assistant to Simon, learning the way of God through the various times he smiled, earning back his wings.

This is like Ernest through his experiences with others and gaining knowledge from those events. Another similarity is Ernest delivering his sermon and Michael explaining to Simon why he became his assistant. These actions mirror the lessons and word of God. The differences in experience begin with Ernest finally achieving the resemblance of the Great Stone Face and then walking away, back to his home. "Here he is, now! Cried those who stood near Ernest.

There! There! Look at Old Stony Phiz and then at the Old Man of the Mountain." It was as if he did not accept it whereas Michael did accept his wings and became an angel again. Ernest's experience took a lifetime to learn whereas Michael's took a few years. The similarity in experiences for Much Afraid and Tailor are routed in despair. They both endure hard circumstances like Much's cousin's unwanted attention and the Tailor's rude employer Mrs. Lowe. Both see the pain from these experiences and suffer along.

The differences begin with the Tailor's patience and calm demeanor. Even amidst all the difficulty experienced with Mrs. Lowe and his son dying, he remains calm. The same cannot be said of Much who has the desire to dance, shrieking in gear when she sees the black Hawthorne-looking seed. The other difference is Much tries to make her life better by trying to reach the High Places whereas the Tailor remains dutiful.

The last difference is Much Afraid despairing in the end realizing she may never reach the High Places and the Tailor simply accepting his position in life, finishing Mrs. Lowe's dress and adding the pleat. "Mrs. Lowe looked down upon her bosom. There the frill lay, beautifully pleated. The character differences for Much Afraid and Tailor begin with their gender. Tailor was "a tall man, taller than the servant, middle-aged." Much was a young girl.

The tailor expressed a kind of 'closed tranquility' that was in stark contrast to Much's beset feelings from her cousin's advances. The similarities in character are in terms of appearance. Much Afraid is ugly, with deformed hands and a crooked mouth. The tailor wears a long faded robe and his tall appearance is jarring. Another similarity is they both endure uncomfortable situations like Much's cousin wanting to marry her and Tailor dealing with an over-demanding white woman that changes her requests frequently.

The third similarity is Much had no real hope to her situation, like Tailor's, "All vestige of hope had now disappeared from his face." They were in predicaments that bred despair. Part 3 In terms of character, they are both kings. King Saul must rule his kingdom as does King Creon. Saul bound his people to an oath, "Curse be anyone who eats food before evening comes, before I have avenged myself on my enemies." Another similarity is both Saul and Creon do things because they must as king.

From Antigone's sentencing to Saul's pursuit of the Philistines, both are responsible towards their roles. From Antigone: "Am I to listen to everybody? She has broken the law!" The difference in character is the willingness to accept responsibilities as Creon wants to enjoy the mundane everyday things whereas Saul pursues his job with fervor and passion.

"After Saul had assumed rule over Israel, he fought against their enemies on every side: Moab, the Ammonites, Edom, the kings[c] of Zobah, and the Philistines." In relation to similarities in action, King Creon was recently crowned King at the beginning of Antigone like Saul when Samuel told his people that God has chosen a king. (1 Samuel 10:1) The act of taking the throne is a key similarity. A second similarity in action is when King Saul asked the Israelites to support him and fight.

King Creon asked for support in leaving Polynices body to decay and be eaten by carrion animals. "When Creon, their uncle, assumes rule, he commands that the body of the rebel Polynices be left unburied." The rally of support is a similarity in action. The third similarity is displeasing the gods/God. Saul burned a sacrifice that Samuel was to do. (1 Samuel 11:12 -- 15) Creon did not bury Polynices and that made the gods angry. In turn he lost his wife and son.

"Slaves lay Eurydice's body before the altar in front of the palace." Differences in action begin with the reigns of Creon and Saul. Saul had a good reign in which people loved him up until he burned a sacrifice. However, Creon did not have the same success at any point during his reign. People even asked him to free Antigone and bury Polynices. "Set free the maiden from the vault, and build a tomb for the dead outcast." A second key difference in action was how they became king.

Saul as anointed king by prophet Samuel. Creon became king after the end of a civil war. A third difference in action is that Saul killed himself (1 Samuel 31) while Creon stayed alive, dealing with his mistakes and regrets. Baard and Anders were close as brothers all throughout their early lives up until the point their father dies, to which they grow apart. As they put their father's belongings up for auction, both fight over their dad's watch.

The victor and possessor of the watch is Baard and that is when they truly distance themselves from each other. As years pass, Baard builds up a modest amount of wealth while Anders is poor and raises a family. Baard tries to reconcile with his brother by placing the watch inside Ander's barn. However, he accidentally sets it ablaze. He feels guilty and upset but has no time to think about it as Ander's wife notifies him of Ander's illness.

When they reunite, they are both happy to see each other and become close again. Anders dies after and Baard chooses to take care of his brother's family. Anders is a hardworking man who is liked by his community and is strong although as he got older he grew thin and pale. "He wore the same clothes he had worn when the brothers were together, although now they were old and patched" Before when he was single, he had no intentions of starting a family.

However, in the end he had a family and was poor. Baard on the other hand was average, but was kind and loving to his family until his greed over the watch changed him and led him to eventually gain a small amount of wealth. In time, he eventually developed a kindness toward his brother that began with a wish of reconciliation after seeing Anders.

"That day Baard made a solemn vow that he would make up with his brother, come what might." Their actions and their desire to be together and then distance themselves from each other, and then reconcile are the key similarities with their finances ad state of health their differences. Part IV He breaks the 8th commandment for stealing the ribbon that himself.
