Do characters display any similar qualities/traits in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and William Golding's Lord of the Flies?

In both Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and William Golding's Lord of the Flies, due to the character trait of hotheadedness, characters regress to acting on instincts rather than on rational thought; furthermore, their instincts drive them to act upon wild, passionate emotions.

In Romeo and Juliet, Tybalt serves as one example of a character who acts based on the primal instincts of wild, passionate emotions as a result of his hotheaded, fiery temper. One example can be seen in even the very first scene. The moment the two Capulet servants, Sampson and Gregory, break out into a fight with the two Montague servants, Abraham and Balthasar, Benvolio rushes out to break up the fight, saying, "Part, fools! / Put up your swords; you know not what you do," and according to the stage direction, "beats down their swords" with his own (I.i.50-51). Yet, Tybalt sees Benvolio with his sword drawn and, rather than rationally assessing the situation, as a result of his fiery temper, is driven by his instincts to conclude that Benvolio has started a fight with the servants and rushes out with his own sword to join the fray. Had he had a calmer, more rational temper, Tybalt would have used his rational thoughts to recognized what Benvolio was really doing and joined him in trying to make peace.

Similarly, in Lord of the Flies, the boys on the island are driven by instincts to act on passionate emotions rather than on rational thought. Such instincts lead to heinous acts, including the murders of Simon and Piggy, and it is primarily Jack, an equally hotheaded and even arrogant boy, who leads the boys to act upon their wild, instinctive emotions.

Is there a word/phrase for "unperformant"?

As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...

A man has a garden measuring 84 meters by 56 meters. He divides it into the minimum number of square plots. What is the length of the square plots?

We wish to divide this man's garden into the minimum number of square plots possible. A square has all four sides with the same length.Our garden is a rectangle, so the answer is clearly not 1 square plot. If we choose the wrong length for our squares, we may end up with missing holes or we may not be able to fit our squares inside the garden. So we have 84 meters in one direction and 56 meters in the other direction. When we start dividing the garden in square plots, we are "filling" those lengths in their respective directions. At each direction, there must be an integer number of squares (otherwise, we get holes or we leave the garden), so that all the square plots fill up the garden nicely. Thus, our job here is to find the greatest common divisor of 84 and 56. For this, we prime factor both of them: `56 = 2*2*2*7` `84 = 2*2*3*7` We can see that the prime factors and multiplicities in common are `2*2*7 = 28` . This is the desired length of the square plots. If you wi...

What warning does Chuchundra issue to Rikki?

Chuchundra, the sniveling, fearful muskrat who creeps around walls because he is too terrified to go into the center of a room, meets Rikki in the middle of the night. He insults Rikki by begging him not to kill him. He then insults him by suggesting that Nag might mistake Chuchundra for Rikki. He says, "Those who kill snakes get killed by snakes."  He issues this warning to Rikki not to help keep Rikki safe but as a way of explaining why Rikki's presence gives him, Chuchundra, more reason to fear.  Chuchundra starts to tell Rikki what Chua the rat told him--but breaks it off when he realizes he might be overheard by Nag. He says, "Nag is everywhere, Rikki-Tikki." Rikki threatens to bite Chuchundra to get him to talk. Even then, Chuchundra won't overtly reveal any information. But he does say, "Can't you hear, Rikki-Tikki?" This is enough of a clue for the clever mongoose. He listens carefully and can just make out the "faintest scratch-s...
