In this essay, I will be discussing how Dickens presents Scrooge as a reformed man. This is influenced by a clear combination of Scrooge's willingness to make the most of his transient life, as well as his desire for warmth in his once cold heart. Therefore it can be argued that Dickens uses the caricature of Scrooge as a manner in which he can criticize the alienating effects of the abstinence from religion as well as using Bob Cratchit to...

Examples of this include Circe, Medea, and, most famously, Medusa.

Nietzsche believes that manâs behavior is instinctively related to this need for survival. Superior men are realistic; they know that they would have to face the competitive struggle with their eyes open and their hearts under control. They prefer to not exhibit any form of sentimentality and attachment, choosing rather to perform actions that are needed, however immoral. The weaker man, on the other hand, resorts to idealistic concepts to camouflage the fear and the anger that they are wholly...

I contend that this experience of difference...
