George Eliot Technological Advancement
416 words
Technology advances with time. Though,
technological advancement is needed to move a
civilization forward, it also has its downsides.
With more products and services available, it is
impossible to live a life of relaxation as people
once did long before. In George Eliot's "Adam
Bede, " one can see the difference in the purity
of "old leisure" and the corruption of modern
leisure through Eliot's use of diction, imagery,
and personification. The words that George Eliot
utilizes in Adam Bede, demon...

T S Eliot Heart Of Darkness

n T. S. Eliot's poem The Hollow Men, T. S. Eliot
contrasts his straw-filled hollow men with the
"lost violent souls" of Mr. Kurtz and Guy Fawkes.
Mr. Kurtz is a character in Joseph Conrad's Heart
of Darkness. T. S. Eliot is saying that it is
better to have met death and to have strong
opinions than to sit idly and remain stagnant.
Both Eliot and Conrad are portraying the general
society to be decaying. The hollow mean are in a
state of stagnation. They can neither choose life
nor death and are t...

Ginsberg Howl A Counterculture Manifesto
2,093 words
... heir intellectual practices are being accused
of obscenity. They are in the land where they are
labeled as mad, though nobody understands that the
whole land is a big flat madhouse. There are
different images of Rockland, which share the same
theme of The Waste Land. In fact, Howl becomes a
scream from a paddy wagon where even a scream has
structure. Cynthia Ozick observes, Ginsberg's
Howl, the single poem most representative of the
break with Eliot, may owe as much, thematically,
to The Wes...

Silas Marner The Rural Life
429 words
The life that could be lived in a village at 1861,
which was so near of the time of the Industrial
Revolution, is a simple life. People at that time
were simple minded, and care most about their
work. They do not understand much of their
religion, as it is exemplified in the novel. We
could see that when Mrs. Winthrop talks about that
she does not understand much of what she hears or
read on Sunday services, still she believes since
her heart in relief to what it said. When Henry
Austen analyses...

Death And Rebirth Bible Dictionary
1,193 words
In the book of Ephesians in the Bible, Paul
describes the rebirth of the world upon Christs
death, emphasizing the Ephesians new life (2: 4 -
5). This theme of death and rebirth is present in
the poem Journey of the Magi, which, I will argue,
is structurally and internally divided into three
stages; corresponding to the sacrament of penance:
contrition (guilt), confession and satisfaction.
To understand this poem, one has to understand the
impact that Christ had on the world. At the time

Living With The Dead Quot Opp Art
756 words
Stephen Spender " Ritualistic" is, it
seems to me, the word that best describes
[Eliot's] attitude to life. He had a vision of the
relationship of the living with the dead through
the patterns of rituals that extend into the
modern world the parties that remain unaltered
from the past. He thought that when these rituals
were disrupted and when, in deed, the observance
of them was not the foremost aim of the living
there would be no connection of the living with
the dead, of the present...

T S Eliot Stanza The Speaker
1,314 words
Prayer for Tradition 9; In the poem A Song for
Simeon, T. S. Eliot uses ambiguity and religious
allusion to convey decay and death of the old
order to make room for modernity. Examining the
imagery in the poem and the tone used allows for a
better idea of what the speakers attitude is
toward these changes, and perhaps a hint of how
the author himself feels. The view the speaker
takes toward the changes he believes are to come
is one of fear. He feels threatened by the thought
of the way of li...

a love poem about a beautiful woman and all of her

the egotism of modern poetry, the sacredness of
writing, and the spiritual hunger of our

Levertov, who died on December 20, 1997, was much

Postmodernism is hard to define, because it is a

Postmodernism followed modernism, which is the
movement in visual arts, music, literature, and
drama which rejected the old Victorian standards
of how art should be made, consumed, and what it
should mean. In the period of high modernism, from
