He eats too much, he drinks too much (although not as much as his son, Brick), and he loves other women too much. He is the "epitome of Southern masculine virility and assertiveness (158)" (Crandell 112)

Big Daddy and Brick love each other and yet they hurt each other deeply. They lacerate each other as each makes the other face a terrifying truth-Brick, in a bitter and shameful defense against his father's probing, and Big Daddy, because his love for his son will not allow him to throw his life away" (Editors)
In this family immortality is not a promise of an afterlife in heaven or hell. It is holding on to the property, continuing the family line -- the seed of Big Daddy Pollitt" (Tischler 89)
The only thing he feels deprived of is a deep emotional connection with Baba, which he blames on himself. He thinks Baba wishes Amir were more like him, and that Baba holds him responsible for killing his mother, who died during his birth (Al-Saudeary 233-249)
The Kite Runner offers its readers a complex look into political history through an individual tale of friendship, betrayal and jealousy. This book also gives an insight into immigrant communities in the United States; it gives a closer look at what it means to be away from your homeland (Aubry and Timothy 25-43)
This suggests that one can atone for his sins, and Amir was definitely a repentant man by the end of the novel. The book, I believe can be read as an allegory, and the character of Amir can be summed up to be compared to the nations of the world (Jefferess 389-400)
Kite Runner: Character Analysis of Amir The author Khaled Hosseni wrote and published the book, The Kite Runner, in the year 2003 (Miles 207-209)
Amir is a very complex character; he is seen in three dimensions: the selfish and confused boy in Afghanistan, the regretful and guilty man in America, and the fully grown man who is finally doing some good returning to Afghanistan. Amir is the narrator as well as the protagonist of the novel and is a Pashtun and Sunni Muslim (Shamel 181-186)
Since the story is told from the perspective of the narrator it may be safe to say that the story is reflective of the narrator: "There was a time when courtesy and winning ways went out of style, when it was good to be bad, when you cultivated decadence like a taste. We were all dangerous characters then" (Boyle, 1986, p
The suicide of Willy Loman has long been debated. Many believe he so because his dreams will never be reached, while others think he does so after Biff declares his love and Willy knows he has failed his son (Phelps pg 239)
Following the emotional clash between Biff and Willy in which Biff collapses in his father's arms declaring himself to be nothing, nothing at all Willy immediately begins to analyze the meaning of the exchange (Phelps pg 239). " Willy's immediate reaction to it is to conclude: "Biff - he likes me!" To which Linda and Happy quickly respond with enthusiastic reinforcement: "He loves you, Willy!" And "Always did, Pop" (Miller pg 133)
.Hearken! And observe how healthily -- how calmly I can tell you the whole story" (Poe, 37)
We ought to be quite cautious regarding asking for complete motivational clarifications from the gods, for we observe that Agamemnon possesses no desire of blaming them for anything, but little he comprehends their will. Actually, he does not even state the order of Zeus to castigate Troy, however, just stresses the horror of the suggested sacrifice (Cowley, n
Apart from minor details, we see Aeschylus making modifications in the background accounts of the characters before the major action of the play via the details given in the parados. The chorus' very first statement of Agamemnon presents to us an essential adjustment: Menelaus and "Agamemnon, my lord, twin throned, twin sceptered, in twofold power" (Fong, n
It also establishes a heavy atmosphere, which infuses the rest of Agamemnon. Of importance is the choice of the chorus not to focus on the victory and glamour of the campaign, but, on the difficulties and defeats (Hill, 2012)
Upon assuming a masculine appearance, Viola almost instantaneously develops a remarkable wit -- a typical masculine trait, which was most likely suppressed within her unconscious; up until now, it must have found expression via her brother. However, though perceived as a man by everyone around her, Viola is well aware of her true feminine nature, falling for Orsino (Dreher, 1986)
Intriguingly, Viola chose to conceal her femininity at the play's beginning. Her apparently-deceased brother is probably the physical manifestation of Viola's animus, akin to Lady Olivia's situation (Dunning, 2015)
