Apples, Oranges, &
Psychos!
Introducing… HeathcliffThe only person who I truly had a connection with was my beloved
Catherine
I was a poor orphan child in my youth, and I got no respect!
Heathcliff was a very resentful individual
because of his horrid childhood
experiences.
The defining moment…All of Heathcliff’s defining moments revolve around
Catherine. From her transformation into a
“proper young lady” to the moment she died during childbirth. It all effected
Heathcliff.
I’ll never forget the day Catherine
came back… It was the day I died
inside.
Most influential relationship…
Heathcliff’s most influential relationship
was the only real relationship he had. His
love for Catherine motivated all of his
actions.
I loved Catherine so much! *sob*
Society views…Heathcliff feels that
society will never see him as more than a lower class rouge. For the most part,
his assertions were correct. Everyone but
Catherine treated him like dirt.
*Humph!* Well I don’t need anybody
anyway!! Except for you
Catherine!!
What Heathcliff thinks…
Most people see Heathcliff as the
creator of his own destruction.
I don’t care what other
people think!! I jut want my Catherine!!!
Distinguishing characteristics…
The most distinguishing
characteristic about Heathcliff, is that he is spiteful towards everyone, except
Catherine.
No, it’s the fact that I am so handsome!!!
Biggest mistake…Most people agree that Heathcliff’s
biggest mistake was coming back to
Wuthering Heights for revenge rather than
to better himself.
I thought that was a
rather good plan myself…
Ahh, symbolism…The most symbolic
item in the novel were the two estates,
Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross
Grange. They represent the two
different societies and social structures.
Yeah, and I own the first one!!
Never regret…
Heathcliff will never forgive himself for that time he and Catherine went running through
the marshes and Catherine was bitten by
the Linton’s dog.
WHY! Oh why did we run across
that blasted dog!! You would still be mine if it weren't for that night!!
All the likes, and dislikes…
Heathcliff really enjoyed all the time he spent with his
Catherine.Most
definitely!However, he hated the way he was treated so
differently, especially by his beloved Catherine.
I was no different than
the rest of those
monsters!
Goodbye Heathcliff! It’s been a pleasure!
Next to appear…Hamlet!Hamlet’s family life was that of a carefree prince.
He lived peacefully at home and studied
abroad, until his father died. Then his family life dissipated into nothing.
I loved my life…that is
until my good-for-
nothing uncle destroyed it
The defining moment…When Hamlet’s
mother remarried his uncle, whom he later found out had
murdered his father, well that
right there shattered his
world.
That good-for-nothing uncle of mine, and don’t
even get me started on my
mother!
The most influential relationship…
Hamlet’s most influential
relationship was his friendship with
Horatio. Throughout
Hamlet’s trials and tribulations,
Horatio was by his side.
*tear* I love that man…
He’s my best friend…
Society views…
Society sees Hamlet as a prince gone mad. Most people attribute this as excessive grief towards the death of his father.
However, Hamlet sees the society that surrounds him foolish and power
hungry
There is method to my madness, I am not as crazy
as I look.
What Hamlet thinks…
Hamlet believes that everybody feels his
plan for revenge was warranted, given the
circumstances, but that he was foolish for
waiting so long to put his plan into motion.
I knew I shouldn’t have procrastinated, now people think I am a
fool!
Distinguishing characteristics…
The most distinguishing thing about Hamlet is his
determination. Even though he may
procrastinate, he never gives up his fight for revenge against his uncle/king Claudius.
Aye, I never give up a good
fight.
Never regret…The one thing that
Hamlet regrets the most is not killing Claudius
when he had the chance in the prayer room. All of
his misfortunes could have been avoided if he hadn’t procrastinated.
I should have killed him
when I had the chance!!!!
More symbolism…Alas, poor
uncle Yorick, I knew him
well…
The most symbolic item in Hamlet is the skull of uncle Yorick. This skull
depicts Hamlet’s views on life and death. How
important we are in this world means nothing
when we are gone and our bones return to the
dust.
Biggest mistake…
Hamlet’s biggest mistake was the one that he regrets the most. The fact that he could have killed Claudius when he had the chance.
I really need to stop
procrastinating
All the likes, and dislikes…Above all, Hamlet dislikes his uncle, who killed his father.
Hamlet likes the family like he used to know and have before his good-for-nothing
uncle destroyed his life.
That good-for-nothing uncle!
I really hate that guy…
That’s all for Hamlet – Bye Hamlet! It’s been great!
Last, but not least, Hedda!
Hedda Gabler’s family life was a
slightly dysfunctional one. She was trapped in a loveless marriage with a husband who loved nothing more than his research.
Silly George, always has
his nose in a book.
The defining moment…
The defining moment in
Hedda’s life was when she handed
Eliert Loevburg one of her pistols so he could kill
himself.
“Do it beautifully
Eliert!”
The most influential relationship…
The most influential relationship that
Hedda had was the one with Eliert. He was the one person that she was really close to and had a connection with.
I was too much of a coward to
see it though…
Society views…Society sees Hedda as a rich, high class socialite, that comes from great wealth.
Hedda, however, sees society as a
restraint to women. She wants to break out from societal
views by controlling a man.
To control a man’s
decision would be the
ultimate power!
What Emma thinks…
Well, it doesn’t matter what they think,
because I’m the one with
the gun…
Most readers see Hedda as a
powerful woman that chases after
weak desires, and ultimately
has no real inner strength herself.
Distinguishing characteristics…
The most distinguishing characteristic
about Hedda is her desire to
chase after weak desires, in order
to obtain a feeling of strength.
Hey now, watch it,
or I’ll shoot…
and I won’t miss…
Biggest mistake…
Emma’s biggest mistake was
being so focused on trying to
change a man’s destiny.
Well, if Thea
could do it, so
could I!
Even more symbolism…The most symbolic thing
in this story was the manuscript. It
represented the bond that Thea had with Eliert. It
reminded Hedda that she had no control of a man, and her childhood friend who had less than her,
did.
I’m burning
your baby
Thea!!!
Never regret…
The thing that Hedda regrets most
is not having the courage to shoot
Eliert when she had the chance. Or
possibly to tell Eliert her true feelings when the time
came.
I should have shot him when I
had the chance!
All the likes, and dislikes…
Hedda likes power and having the ability to control
men.
That’s all folks! Say goodbye to Hedda Gabler everyone!
And? Why shouldn’t
I?
It just isn’t fair!! What she’s got
that I don’t? But, she hates the fact that a woman like Thea was able to do it first, and with the man that she cared for.
The End!
Thanks for watching!!
