Death Of A Salesman 2
Words: 1121 / Pages: 5

.... his impending misfortune, but instead, has made a series of mistakes leading to his downfall. We can see that Willy does not purposely create this harmful situation for himself, he is only ignorant that certain actions of his are wrong, which contribute to his self-ruin. Willy Loman thusly personifies the attributes of a tragic hero as proposed by Aristotle. Willy, with a house, a car, a job, two sons whom he adores, and a supportive, caring wife, seems to have everything that any man could ever want. He manages, however, to alienate himself from these things that he loves near the end of the play as he slips into a self-induced state of altered reali .....


The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn: Early Influences On Huck Finn
Words: 1065 / Pages: 4

.... Huck Finn. Nevertheless, they attempt to make Huck into what they believe will be a better boy. Specifically, they attempt, as Huck says, to "sivilize" him. This process includes making Huck go to school, teaching him various religious facts, and making him act in a way that the women find socially acceptable. Huck, who has never had to follow many rules in his life, finds the demands the women place upon him constraining and the life with them lonely. As a result, soon after he first moves in with them, he runs away. He soon comes back, but, even though he becomes somewhat comfortable with his new life as the months go by, Huck never really en .....


Crime And Punishment--is Rasko
Words: 781 / Pages: 3

.... (247). Raskolnikov was strongly prompted to murder Alyona when he recalled a conversation that took place between two ordinary men in a bar. One declared: I could kill that damned old woman and make off with her money without the faintest conscious-prick.... For one life, thousands would be saved from corruption and decay.... Besides, what value has the life of that sickly, stupid, ill-natured old woman in the balance of existence? (63) Raskolnikov reasoned that it would be honorable to kill Alyona since it would supposedly benefit humanity, but the fact that “ordinary” men had the same idea should have immediately put a stop to .....


The Wife Of Bath
Words: 1343 / Pages: 5

.... of marriage. Her extensive knowledge and education on matters of the heart have been acquired through experience, and through the conventional means of learning. Through her tale she explains herself, in a sense. She speaks of a wise, but ugly old woman. A handsome young knight happens upon the old woman. She asks him what he is seeking. The young knight explains to her that he, as punishment, was sent on a quest to discover what women desire most. The old woman's answer is a simple but costly one. In exchange for her assistance, the old woman demands that he oblige her one request. The knight hastily agrees that he will allow her the .....


In The Mind Of The Pardoner
Words: 741 / Pages: 3

.... to make the people free in giving pennies—especially to me”. Thus, covetousness is both the substance of his sermons as well as the mechanism upon which he thrives. He clearly states that repentance is not the central aim of his preaching, by mentioning “my mind is fixed on what I stand to win and not upon correcting sin”. Rather, his foremost intention is to acquire as many shillings as he can in exchange for his meaningless pardons. In this regard, one can argue that although the Pardoner is evil, he is not a dissembler. His psychology is clearly not guided by hypocrisy because he does not conceal his intentions und .....


Comparison Of Kafka's "Metamorphosis" And Dali's "The Metamorphosis Of Narcissus"
Words: 1109 / Pages: 5

.... Greek mythology, Narcissus was a beautiful young youth, who fell in love with his own reflection, and then drowned while trying to embrace himself. His body was never recovered, but a flower, which was named after him was. The left side of this painting shows the kneeling Narcissus, outlined by the craggy rocks of what could only be Cape Creus's. On the right side of the painting, the scene has morphed into a more idyllic and classical scene, in which the kneeling Narcissus has become the statue of a hand, holding a cracked egg, from which emerges The Narcissus flower. This painting reminded me of the first chapter of Metamorphosis, where the ma .....


Superstition In The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn
Words: 746 / Pages: 3

.... witches away. "You do that when you've lost a horseshoe that you've found, instead of nailing it up over the door, but I hadn't ever heard anybody say it was any way to keep of bad luck when you'd killed a spider."(Twain 5). In chapter four Huck sees Pap's footprints in the snow. So Huck goes to Jim to ask him why Pap is here. Jim gets a hair-ball that is the size of a fist that he took from an ox's stomach. Jim asks the hair-ball; Why is Pap here? But the hair-ball won't answer. Jim says it needs money, so Huck gives Jim a counterfeit quarter. Jim puts the quarter under the hair-ball. The hair-ball talks to Jim and Jim tells Huck that it say .....


The Scarlet Letter: Guilt, Strength And Revenge
Words: 1532 / Pages: 6

.... a book that contains and utilizes symbols within its characters and its setting. One very important symbol and character was Pearl Prynne, the daughter of the adulteress. Throughout the story Pearl is shown looking at or playing with the scarlet letter on her mother's bosom so as to mock her. "... Pearl took some eelgrass and imitated, as best she could, on her own bosom, the decoration with which she was so familiar on her mother's - a letter - the letter "A"... (Hawthorne 174) Later in the story Pearl refuses to acknowledge her mother because of the fact that she is not wearing the scarlet letter. "Seen in the brook, once more, was the shadowy wrat .....


Response To Civil Disobedience
Words: 932 / Pages: 4

.... over state authority. Very often, the best authors, whether it be of a novel or an essay, clearly state their opinions and facts using various literary techniques and devices. From reading other Thoreau works, such as excerpts from Walden and Excursions, I was able to infer that he has his own unique, unmatched writing style. Most ordinary and banal writers start their essays with long, tedious descriptions of the point they are trying to convey. But like all great writers and thinkers, Thoreau begins his essay with a strong, captivating sentence: "That government is best which governs least" (222). Thoreau's opening line grabs and lets t .....


The Secret Lion: Symbolism To Reinforce The Theme
Words: 557 / Pages: 3

.... a river polluted by sewage, to the boys it symbolizes a place for them to rebel and yell words they are not allowed to speak. Also the grinding ball found in the story symbolizes “ perfection”, it symbolizes the boys’ childhood’s. When the boys bury the grinding ball, they bury their childhood along with it. The symbolism Ri’os used in his story illuminated the theme, which is change is unstoppable , and that change is always accompanied by loss. In the story “Miss Brill” the author Katherine Mansfield uses symbolism to reinforce and illuminate the theme. Miss Brill is a very lonely lady, she’s all alone. Miss Brill sits in .....
