.... arrangement, I procured a green folding screen, which might entirely isolate Bartleby from my sight, though, not remove him from my voice." The quotation describes how the narrator secludes Bartleby from society. Even his window, usually a form of escape, results in Bartleby being trapped behind another wall, thus reinforcing his total isolation. The irony lies in the fact that the narrator, while trying to isolate Bartleby, becomes affected by it, so much so that he appears almost human. Instead of dismissing him on the spot for refusing to copy, proofread or leave the premises, he tries to find other employment for him, and even consider .....

.... of pre-Hasmonean times, approximately 170 B.C. They were first written about by Josephus, who was impressed by their seemingly innate ability to forecast the future. Josephus described how Judas, perhaps the most famous Essene, successfully predicted that the ruler of Judea, Aristobulus, would kill his brother. It is believed that the Essenes were one of the first all-male monastic orders, and it is uncertain whether they were exclusively Jewish in origin, or if the group had roots in Greek philosophy as well. Organizationally speaking, the Essenes were a singular entity, presided over by a president, who was obeyed unconditionally. There were .....

.... chest. Both Hester and Dimmesdale’s marks burn as a daily reminder of sin and unholiness. It is only fitting that Roger Chillingworth, a learned scholar and a makeshift physician be the Black Man of the forest, and represent an evil force in the novel. Hawthorne uses Chillingworth as a symbol of science, which is a common theme in many of his works. Hawthorne’s dislike of men of science is also evident in many of his texts, like “Rappaccini’s Daughter” and “Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment”. In both these stories a man of science, either Rappaccini or Dr. Heidegger, represent some form of evil. In the story, .....

He believes that if we have the ability to formulate and pose the question of Being, then we must also possess the answer to it. Heidegger’s term “Dasein� can be unde .....
