questions must be evaluated before arriving to
those answers. Usually when I am asking a question
I go through a mental process of evaluating the

evaluation of the question is to rule out the
other possible answers. Is evaluation the key to

carefree attitude made her seem constantly content

that she lead. To the common observer, she would

The Deeper Side of Prufrock: A Personal Analysis
Thomas Sterns Eliot wrote the poem The Love Song
of J. Alfred Prufrock over a period of six years
and published it circa 1917 at the ripe old age of
twenty-nine. As his first published poem, Prufrock
revealed Eliot's original and highly developed
style. Its startling jumps from rhetorical
language to clich, its indirect literary
references, and its simultaneous humor and
pessimism were quite new in English literature.

realizes he has not fulfilled his promise to the
Ghost to avenge his fathers murder. Instead, he
has thought more about his own death than that of
his fathers supposed murderer, Claudius, and is a
piteous coward for taking no action towards this
murder. At the begi...

greater than God. Anselm also states that if God

Lears Suffering King Lear One
489 words
King Lear is a perfect demonstration of the great
consequences one mans actions can cause. While
there are certainly religious Christian elements
to the story, the story is not one of morality or
hope. King Lear is a lesson, making an example of
what can come of a single, foolish, egotistical
action. King Lears action is the surrendering of
his throne to his daughters. The element of
Christianity enters here, because King is a
God-appointed position, not to be given up. Lear,
however, decides to...

Head Belittles Nelson Low Self Worth People

In O'Connor's "The Artificial Nigger" the essences
of prejudice and degradation are captured to a
great extent. Reality shows us with needless
consistency people in a need to feel better about
themselves only achieve it by being better than
someone else. Therefore every opportunity at hand,
including racism, is taken advantage as a form of
gratification. Mr. Head, the grandfather, is an
example of one of these people. He is in
