Oedipus never insisted that it was better to live blind than to die. But he did say that he blinded himself because:

"What use had I for eyes? Nothing I could see would bring me joy."

"What was there for me to look at, to speak to, to love? What joyful word can I expect to hear, my friends? Take me away, out of this country, quickly, take me away. I am lost, accursed and hated by the gods beyond all other men."

So what he's saying is that he is doom-fated and not even sight would bring him joy.

Dorian Gray appreciated Basil as a friend. Though Basil was attracted to Dorian Gray, there was nothing deep about it since he was only in love with Dorian Gray's appearance which gave a huge change on Basil's artistic skills. Dorian Gray appreciated their friendship. When Basil finally had the guts to tell him about his affections, Dorian was already a changed man. His mind was preoccupied with other thoughts like the mysterious painting, emptiness and guilt for all his evil deeds.

He was bored of his conservative morality, and annoyed by his good advices.

Lilliput is filled with tiny people, and is a tiny place, though the Lilliputians think that they rule the world.

Lilliput is England and Blefuscu is France. Gulliver showed how the Lilliput emperor had a thirst for power and wanted to get rid of his enemies, the Blefuscans, though they really hadn't done much wrong at all. Gulliver did not like England.

Today, we use the word "Lilliput" in our everyday language, meaning tiny.

The main characters represent different branches of the church.

The book "The Silver Kiss" is about a girl named Zoe who is in grief of her mother dying from cancer. In the dead of the night, the beautiful, but frightening Simon comes to her house.

Simon seems to understand the pain of loneliness and death and Zoe's brooding thoughts about her dying mother.

Simon however, is one of the undead. A vampire, seeking revenge for the gruesome death of his mother 300 years ago.

Does Simon dare to ask Zoe to help free him from this lifeless chase and its intolerable solitude?

The book is honestly very sad but beautiful and well written.

Ralph represents the leader archetype, Jack embodies the archetype of the rebellious instigator, and Simon embodies the archetype of the wise and spiritual figure. Each character demonstrates different qualities and behaviors that align with these social archetypes throughout the story.

Miss Havisham hears of Pip through Mr. Pumblechook.

Excerpt: 'And couldn't she ask Uncle Pumblechook is he knew a boy to go and play there? Isn't it just barely possible that Uncle Pumblechook may be a tenant of hers, and that he may sometimes - we won't say quarterly or half-yearly, for that would be requiring too much of you - but sometimes - go there to pay his rent? And couldn't she then ask Uncle Pumblechook if he knew a boy to go and play there? And couldn't Uncle Pumblechook, being always considerate and thoughtful of us - though you may not think if, Joseph,' in a tone of depest reproach, as if he were the most callous of nephews, 'then mention this boy, standing Prancing here'--which I solemly declare I was not doing--'that I have for ever been a willing to slave to?' ~ Mrs. Joe Gargery; wife of Joe Gargery, blacksmith.

I think it's free verse. Blank verse is unrhymed iambic pentameter, whereas free verse is verse with no regular rhyme or metrical pattern. I don't believe Murder In The Cathedral is unrhymed iambic pentameter.

It also symbolizes her growing interest in him and the emotional connection she is developing with him. Additionally, the act of drawing Rochester allows Jane to express her feelings in a creative way.

Long John Silver pretends not to know Black Dog in order to maintain his cover as a loyal member of Captain Smollett's crew. By denying his past connections with Black Dog, Long John Silver avoids suspicion and protects his own interests, as Black Dog is associated with piracy and illegal activities. This deception allows Long John Silver to advance his own plans and gain the trust of the crew.

The way I see it, Stephen is in fact expressing his frustration at his fellow countrymen, very preoccupied at that time with mourning an idyllic past, without taking the necessary steps in order to invent a glorious present or future. What Irishmen did (in Stephen's opinion, at least) was to complain and lament the British domination, at the same time betraying their leaders (the betrayal and subsequent death of Parnell influenced Joyce tremendously).

To better understand this affirmation I suggest you read something about The Irish Revival.
