The Great Gatsby: A Total Failure
Words: 798 / Pages: 3

.... people in the Middle West-all dead now.” (Fitzgerald. p65) This shows that Gatsby wanted to kill his past even though he couldn’t since his father was still alive. He did visit his father two years before he died. However, he never went as a son but as a generous rich man. Mr. Gatz said, “He come out to see me two years ago and bought me the house I live in now.”(Fitzgerald. p174) Gatsby could only express himself in terms of money or rather his wealth represented him as a man of high status. He had no respect for himself because he went around telling people lies about himself and his family and the way he based his life he would be a n .....


Audens Dystopia - The Merchant
Words: 1459 / Pages: 6

.... world. The flawed world is the materialistic and bustling city of Venice. The impeccable world is the fairy-tale city of Belmont. Despite Belmont's perfection, a bit of justified hatred from Venice would ruin its innocence. (Paradise lost.) Alas, as Auden suggests, there are no utopias. In Venice, time is of the essence. If one were to momentarily forget the real world, one would be trampled down by its massive stampede of events, bonds, et cetera constantly being made, ubiquitously in its domain. Shylock and Antonio are just one pair of culprits adding to the ultimate imperfection of Venice. However, the bond made between Shylock and Antonio s .....


The Invisible Man: Summary
Words: 2274 / Pages: 9

.... with the narrator recounting his memories of his grandfather. The most remarkable, and eventually the most haunting, of these is his memory of his grandfather's last words in which he claims to have been a traitor to his own people and urges his son to "overcome `em with yeses, undermine `em with grins, agree `em to death and destruction, let `em swoller you till they vomit or bust wide open." These words remain imprinted in the narrator's mind throughout the book, although he never fully understands their meaning. His grandfather's words eventually serve as catalyst for his subsequent disillusionments, the first of which occurs directly after he g .....


Judith Guest's "Ordinary People": Summary
Words: 1474 / Pages: 6

.... of individuals who, as children, experienced parental indifference or inconsistency. Though a successful tax attorney, he is jumpy around Conrad, and, according to his wife, drinks too many martinis. Conrad seems consumed with despair. A return to normalcy, school and home-life, appear to be more than Conrad can handle. Chalk-faced, hair-hacked Conrad seems bent on perpetuating the family myth that all is well in the world. His family, after all, "are people of good taste. They do not discuss a problem in the face of the problem. And, besides, there is no problem." Yet, there is not one problem in this family but two - Conrad's suicide an .....


1984: The Structure Of The Novel
Words: 397 / Pages: 2

.... the children. Winston does not think the Party should allow the hangings to be public. Winston writes about when men will be free, when the truth exists and when what is done cannot be undone. Also, Winston thinks about Goldstein. He says how Goldstein has a lot of influence on some people. Still, the majority of the people hate and despise him. He is always the face of hate in the Two Minute Hate and everywhere else, but for some people like in The Brotherhood, he is a hero. Winston thinks about the brotherhood and wonders if it is a myth or a reality. Therefore, Winston's conversion to Party doctrine becomes obvious when he writes in hi .....


Bartleby And A Gathering Of Old Men
Words: 1318 / Pages: 5

.... time he is totally uninvolved and does everything in a superficial sort of way. He refuses to do tasks that should be a routine part of his duties. For example, when his boss asks him to examine some copies of financial accounts, Bartleby not only refuses to comply but will not explain his reasons: "What is wanted?" said he (Bartleby) mildly. "The copies, the copies," said I hurriedly. "We are going to examine them. There" and I held towards him the fourth quadruplicate. "I would prefer not to," he said, and gently disappeared behind the screen. "Why do you refuse?" "I would prefer not to"(20). Bartleby's actions show that he is an outcast of s .....


Good Country Irony-good Countr
Words: 862 / Pages: 4

.... upon children”. It seems that for a “good country person” she has a perverse curiosity in the macabre. She particularly enjoys hearing all the details of how Joy/Hulga had her leg literally blasted off in a hunting accident. As the story moves on we can see the conflict between Mrs. Hopewell and her daughter Joy/Hulga. Joy/Hulga treats her mother with disdain, and does everything she can to emphasize her own individuality. She professes to believe in nothing. She is a proud intellectual and has little doubt of her belief in “nothingness.” However, ironically in the end she is proven to be very much like her mother in tha .....


Candide 2
Words: 1603 / Pages: 6

.... story, but rather in the context of the story as it is written. One of the voices that is present throughout the story is that of irony. The story itself is ironic since no one can take Swifts proposal seriously. This irony is clearly demonstrated at the end of the story; Swift makes it clear that this proposal would not affect him since his children were grown and his wife unable to have any more children. It would be rather absurd to think that a rational man would want to both propose this and partake in the eating of another human being. Therefore, before an analyzation can continue, one has to make the assumption that this is strictly a fictio .....


The Stranger 2
Words: 596 / Pages: 3

.... then we’d be pals.” (Camus, 29) Meursault remains quiet in the conversation, but eventually does speak up: “I didn’t say anything, and he asked me again if I wanted to be pals. I said it was fine with me: he seemed pleased.” (Camus, 29) It really made no difference to Meursault if he was stated as a friend of Raymond’s or not. The way that Meursault does not contribute to the conversation and that it is just “fine with [him]” to be friends creates an image of indifference. This image continues to grow as Raymond continues to talk to Meursault. Raymond goes on to tell of his problems with women, .....


Fahrenheit 451: The Meetings Between Montag And Clarisse
Words: 446 / Pages: 2

.... in which Clarisse states " But you're just a man, after all " (7). This statement by Clarisse makes Montag think of a time when he was a child during power failure, and he wishes it not to end. In Montag's second meeting with Clarisse, the two of them find a dandelion and Clarisse tells Montag of rubbing it under his chin. Clarisse explains " If it rubs off, it means I'm in love "(22). Clarisse rubs the dandelion under Montag's chin and Clarisse remarks "What a shame, you're not in love with anyone " (22). Montag thinks that he is in love, but realizes that he is not in love and not at all happy. In the third meeting, Montag begins to feel that .....
