Write a character analysis on “The Bet”

Please write at least 3 paragraphs if you can I really need to submit within the next hour.

Answer:

THE BANKER: The banker, who is young, affluent, and somewhat irresponsible at the start of the play, believes that death is better than life imprisonment and is the one who makes the famous bet with the lawyer. His fortunes have failed him in his latter years, and his money has diminished, turning him into a desperate man. The banker, like the ordinary people that the lawyer begins to loathe, is ruled by his desire to retain his fortune at all costs. He chooses to assassinate the lawyer the night before the bet is due to his worry that the lawyer would become wealthy and successful with his money, while he will become a beggar. The banker is tortured with remorse and self-hatred for placing the bet in the first place after seeing the lawyer's message and learning what he has been through physically and psychologically. Nonetheless, he decides to keep the letter hidden in his safe to protect himself from the lawyer's probable retaliation. The banker is a multifaceted figure who reflects both unfavorable and salvageable aspects about the human condition.

THE LAWYER: Initially, the lawyer claims that life imprisonment is better than capital sentence. In accepting to the bet, he demonstrates the same rashness as the banker, and he is foolish in prolonged his sentence for the sake of some mistaken pride. Unlike the banker, though, he is solely responsible for his own safety. As the years pass in his cell, he matures, finally dedicating himself to reading as much as he can and developing his mind. He is a completely altered man by the conclusion of his 15-year term—extremely knowledgeable yet absolutely disdainful of all worldly goods, believing that they are deceptive mirages that blind people to the transience of existence. He is resentful of others and considers himself superior to those who have "bartered heaven for earth," i.e., those who live in sin.By the conclusion of his term, the lawyer is so thin that he is difficult to look at, prematurely aged, and seems unwell, according to the banker. This outer image is in stark contrast to the lawyer's inner sense that he has improved. He eventually abandons the bet by leaving his cell only five hours before his earnings are to be distributed.

THE WATCHMAN: Although the banker's watchman is primarily missing from the story, he is present to ensure that the lawyer does not flee. The watchman has undoubtedly sought cover from the terrible weather and gone asleep when the banker attempts to sneak into the garden wing late at night before the bet is supposed to terminate. Later, he rushes to the banker to inform him that the lawyer has fled by climbing through the window.

Read the excerpt from Votes for Women:

Taking a more aggressive approach to women's suffrage was arguably more impactful in the short term. Alice Paul learned how to use this aggressive approach in England and brought it to the United States. For a while, she held a leadership position with the National American Woman Suffrage Association. She helped organize the March on Washington held on March 2, 1913, the day before President Wilson's inauguration. The parade was led by a human rights lawyer riding a white horse, and behind her women marched in costumes reflecting the nations that had already given women the vote. Multiple floats, bands, brigades, and costumed women paraded on through Washington, D.C. However, during the parade of protest, some men attacked the women and behaved poorly, and the police did nothing to stop it. The actions of the men led to an inquiry, which brought women's suffrage significant public awareness. However, some women did not agree with Paul's methods. Paul ultimately formed a separate group, which became known as the National Woman's Party. This group of women held marches and hunger strikes. They were also the first organization to organize a picket of the White House in January 1917. While their choice to picket during World War I angered some, their methods did make an impact and paved the way for women's suffrage to become law.

Both peaceful and aggressive approaches contributed to the ratification of the 19th Amendment on August 18, 1920. On November 2, women across the nation voted, which marked the beginning of the ongoing struggle to reform the rights of women in the United States.

Read these lines from the poem. They refer to the biblical story of Samson.


Upon the pillars of the temple laid

His desperate hands, and in its overthrow

Destroyed himself, and with him those who made

A cruel mockery of his sightless woe;

The poor, blind Slave, the scoff and jest of all,

Expired, and thousands perished in the fall!


In the Bible, God gives Samson immense physical strength. But Samson is tricked by evil people into losing his strength. The evil people capture Samson, blind him, and make him a slave. Samson asks God to give him strength once more so he can seek revenge on the evil people, and God does. Samson destroys their temple, killing many of them, and killing himself in the process. Longfellow compares the slaves in America to Samson.


How does this allusion affect the tone of the poem?



A. The poem sounds like a religious lecture or sermon, designed to inspire slaves to rise up against their masters.



B. The poem’s tone is stern, comparing slaves to the evil people who captured Samson.



C. The poem sounds like a caution that slavery does not only harm slaves, but may damage the entire country.



D. The poem’s tone is critical of slaves because they do not stand up for themselves the way Samson does.
