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!!
