Sylvia Plath Mental State
1,310 wordsThe role of a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead is ultimately to breed, and nothing more. Cooped up in a nondescript room with nothing but her own thoughts and painful memories for company, the narrator, Offred, shows many signs of retreating further and further into her own world, and becoming slowly more unstable throughout the course of the novel as her terrible new life continues. The most common and by far the most disturbing example of this is the use of imagery and symbolism in the book....

Wrote About Artists Lucy Lippard Art
691 wordsPostmodernism and Feminism Definitions of what postmodernism is and how it is related to feminism seem to vary with every citation. This taken into consideration we may say that postmodernism is simply what anyone wants it to be, changed to suit their view on the matter. Perhaps that is what the person who coined the phrase wanted it to be, an entirely personal piece of art that is not supposed to be interpreted by anyone else. Therefore, a postmodern art critic would have to be someone who inte...

Joseph Conrad Heart Heart Of Darkness
1,239 wordsFeminist Imagery in Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness Many feminist critics have used Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness to show how Marlow constructs parallels and personification between women and the inanimate jungle that he speaks of. The jungle that houses the savages and the remarkable Kurtz has many feminine characteristics. By the end of the novel, it is the same feminized wilderness and darkness that Marlow identifies as being the cause of Kurtz's mental and physical collapse. In Heart o...

Social Hedda Theatrical
503 wordsHedda Gabler is not an easy character to get to know. At first reading she seems a bitter personality portrayed in an old-fashioned script set in an out-outmoded and foreign society. How could a woman in 102 -year-old play possibly be understandable or relevant to the late-twentieth-century student? However, upon further examination, Hedda Gablers fictional reality not only offers us the opportunity to observe the art and social concerns of Ibsen's day, but extends to us a paradigm by which we m...
