Analysis of 2 Critical Lens Quotes

Quote:

“I like flawed characters because somewhere in them I seemore of the truth.”

Author- Nicolas Cage,

Nicolas Cage stated that, "I like flawed characters because somewhere in them I see more of the truth.” This quote is trying to say that the person likes imperfect characters. He can right away tell what type of character they are when they make mistakes. They can't hide the truth, basically. I agree with this quote because flawed characters are characters who make mistakes, so we can tell their way of character very easily. The two novels Of mice and men by john Stienbeck and Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens, are great examples that relate to this quote.




Quote:

“To gain that which is worth having, it may be necessary to lose everything else.”
Author: Bernadette Devlin

INTRODUCTION

Bernadette Devlin once stated that, “to gain that which is worth having, it may be necessary to lose everything else.” Devlin tries to state that if one wants to achieve something in life and would want total control over it, then they would also lose something else in order to achieve what they want. I agree with this quote because to win or gain something you would have to lose something. The two novels, The Pearl by John Steinbeck has a character who faces life time sacarafices inorder to acieve a goal, which is to make a better life for his family,and Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Jacobs is a about a woman who fights for her freedom, are superior examples that relate to this quote.
