.... religion and even to just fiy vertical movement of non-Aristocratic, intellectual citizens. When Anton Mesmer came to Paris, he brought ideas of "invisible fluid" that flowed throughout our bodies. When the harmony of these fluids was disturbed, that is when people became ill. He believed that through electricity, baths and a trained "mesmeris," diseases, and all other troubles, could be cured. He likened his "animal electricity" or "animal magnatism" to that of gravity, fire, light and electricity, The system of complex theories put forth by Mesmer could be discussed at great lengths and, in time, they were. His and many other "scientifi .....

.... his wife he shall suffer in the flesh. I will have command over his body during all his life, not he." In other words, she is saying that she will have total control over herself, her husband, and their household and very specifically, "...not he". This can be interpretated that her husband will not have the same privileges as her in the sense that he is like a 'slave' and she will 'command' over him.. This quotation seems as if the Wife of Bath is leaning toward the feministic opinion. "Nevertheless, since I know your pleasure I'll satisfy your physical pleasure." This was said by the Wife of Bath and supp .....

.... Breathe forth a mystic speech in fitful sighs"(1186), he is basicallyy saying that nature's pillars or the pillars of life provide something special or mystical. Unlike Eliot, he uses images of beauty that are sensual. He says,"Perfumes there are as sweet as the oboe's sound Green as the prairies, fresh as a childs caress"(1187);Baudelaire wants the idea of nature and sexuality to dance through ones head in a very positive manner. Finally at the end of the poem he states,"Like myrrh,or musk,or amber,that excite The ecstasies of sense, the soul's delight."(1187)Once again the notion that the senses are in tune with nature can be seen in this quote, w .....

.... movie that steers clear of the typical type set of the war film genre. Movies like Platoon and Apocalypse Now took us into the heart of the savagery of war and its torment upon the individual. Courage Under Fire contrasts greatly with these movies by showing that acts of valor do not necessarily result from the savageness of the battlefield. The real subject of the film is not a specific war, but the military ethos and its effect on many individuals. The movie begins as many war films have, on the battlefield. Lieutenant Colonel Nat Serling (Denzel Washington) finds himself in an impossible situation, under heavy attack at night in the middle o .....

.... his wife does not love him. Lust is a very powerful feeling and it tempts John right into bed with Abigail. He commits adultery and Elizabeth does not forgive him. She finds ways to punish John and make him feel more remorseful. For example, Reverend Hale asks John to recite the commandments and he forgets one, Elizabeth then says sarcastically, "Adultery, John" (Miller 1211). Elizabeth responds in such a manner that John feels such pain in his heart. At one point John is fed up with her heartless manner and says, "Spare me! You forget nothin' and forgive nothin'....I have gone tip toe in this house all seven month from there to there without .....

.... Madame Bovary. Bersai states that Flaubert make Emma’s dreams seem important and gives it “dignity” but at the same time ridicules her fantasies. Bersani also writes that Flaubert detaches himself entirely from the community that he writes about. Although there are parts of the book that displays the narrator as a member of the society. For example in the start of the novel the introduction of Charles seem to me made by a person who was involved in the action. There are other parts when Flaubert seems to know all the innermost thought of the characters. In other word Flaubert portrays his narrator as one who is all know and .....

.... that she did not feel at all. He said to himself that she was too light and childish, too uncultivated and unreasoning. Then at other moments he believed that she carried about in her an elegant and perfectly observant consciousness from the impression she produced. He asked himself whether Daisy’s defiance came from the consciousness of innocence or from her being, essentially, a young person of the "common" class. After getting to know Daisy, he was confused about getting to know his and her emotions. It is far evident that Winterbourne does not come to conclusions about people easily. He was very much influenced by the biases of hi .....

.... story until it is forced out of her. Only then does she feel it a necessity to admit witchcraft was a part of their dance. She doesn't admit she is a witch, rather that Ruth and Tituba were. The Putnam's are the next to enter the play. Goody Putnam had lost seven children to birth and her only surviving daughter, Ruth, was not able to wake, just like Betty Parris. She was among those in the forest. Both Putnam's are quick to blame a witch for what has happened to Ruth and for what has happened to them in the past. Parris still fights the idea of witchcraft but is getting closer to accepting it as truth. Through the conversations between Abig .....

.... Jing mei had a totally different perception about China before her visit. She imagined China to be not so Americanized. Jing mei saw China as a Communist country. She envisioned a poor country containing small villages, with people who would not have the slightest idea of what it felt like to have the same luxuries that many Americans are fortunate to have. She later found out that she was totally wrong. Right from the beginning she was surprised as she arrived at the train station where she saw crowds of people wearing drab Western clothes, as she described, with spots of bright colors and old ladies in gray tops and pants that stop mid-calf. She .....

.... the leading role, is only mentioned by name, he is not in the story itself. The essay will also show that a romantic tension between the principal characters can only be experienced once in the whole story. In chapter two Katharine Anne Porter's short story Rope will be discussed and the fact will be proved that an insignificant incident can lead to very serious violence and various kinds of tensions between a married couple. In addition the tension comes into being through what is not said that is through repressed feelings. I will also speak about the fact how persons through mental violence come back to the 'original' situation between two lov .....
