Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Prince Hamlet
1,046 wordsIn William Shakespeare's Hamlet, Prince Hamlet replaces the letter that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are carrying to England with a forgery of his own making, thus sending these two men to their deaths. He does this without giving it a second thought and never suffers from any guilt or remorse for his actions. Considering that these two men were friends from his youth, this would at first glance seem to reflect poorly on his character. However, one must consider carefully the characters of Rosen...

Designated As An Antihero Role As Protector Frederic
1,948 wordsOne central feature of modern life and literature is the dearth of traditional heroes and heroines, persons of unusual courage and strength who act boldly on behalf of their friends and allies. In classical literature they were often the children of one mortal and one divine parent, and thus their deeds were favoured by the gods. In more recent literature a hero or heroine was still bold, noble, and courageous and often one who sacrificed ones power or even life for others. Thinking of Frederic ...

Falling In Love Romantic Love

Nature serves as a refuge from society where we can find solutions to injustice and unhappiness. This play is a comedy and thus has a happy ending but it is not a fairy tail.

Contemporary Literary Criticism J Alfred Prufrock
1,450 wordsThe so-called Love Song The ironic character of The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, an early poem by T. S. Eliot (1888 - 1965) in the form of a dramatic monologue, is introduced in its title. Eliot is talking, through his speaker, about the absence of love, and the poem, so far from being a song, is a meditation on the failure of romance. The opening image of evening (traditionally the time of love making) is disquieting, rather than consoling or seductive, and the evening becomes a patient (Sp...
