Why does Daniel feel like everything he's cared about and worked towards is being threatened by Leah?

According to Rosh, Daniel has a soft spot which holds him back from being the fierce, loyal Zealot that he could potentially become. After Simon brings Daniel the news that his grandmother is dying, Daniel returns to the village to find out that his sister is possessed by demons once again. Unlike the other villagers, who fear Leah, Daniel is sympathetic towards his sister. He remembers all of the fun times they had when they...

According to Rosh, Daniel has a soft spot which holds him back from being the fierce, loyal Zealot that he could potentially become. After Simon brings Daniel the news that his grandmother is dying, Daniel returns to the village to find out that his sister is possessed by demons once again. Unlike the other villagers, who fear Leah, Daniel is sympathetic towards his sister. He remembers all of the fun times they had when they were younger and recalls her radiant personality. Daniel realizes that he needs to sacrifice his life on the mountain to return to the village in order to take care of Leah. Although he does not want to leave Rosh's band on the mountain, he cannot stand to see his sister in such a terrible condition. He feels like everything he's worked towards for the last five years has been threatened by her. Instead of making weapons and robbing caravans for Rosh, he will have to provide for Leah in the village. After his grandmother dies, Daniel travels back up the mountain and informs Rosh that he will be living in the village in order to take care of Leah.

Had King Solomon been the janitor, with all his...

How can I analyze Moon and Six Pence by Somerset Maugham?

In "Moon and Sixpence," loosely based on the life of Paul Gaugin, Maugham presents a study of the tension between the "civilized" life of 19th century Europe, and the lead character's desire to throw off the shackles of bourgeois life. Charles Strickland is a middle-aged English stockbroker with a wife and family. By abandoning his domestic life, Strickland commits what many in European society would consider a gross betrayal of one of the foundations of...
