The Celtic Voice In Walter Scotts Waverley
1,128 wordsThe Celtic Voice in Walter Scott's 'Waverley' One aspect of this novel which may not have received its due attention is Scott's emphasis on the strength and vitality of traditional Scottish culture, especially folk poetry and music. The presence of such an element is hardly surprising, in as much as Scott's first important literary work was an edition of Scottish folk ballads ('Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border', 1803). The Celtic cultural aspect of 'Waverley' is scarcely mentioned by the author...

Earl Of Gloucester King Lear
1,463 wordsThe images of sight given, taken, or abused resonate deeply in King Lear from Kent's first imperative, "See better, Lear" (I. i. 158), to the painful images of a stumbling, eyeless Gloucester. Such imagery, drawn both dramatically and verbally, illustrates well the theme of consciousness. Consciousness in this play refers to seeing the world without through the lens of the world within.

Men And Women Nature Of Life
2,068 words... de of their immediate dramatic context has the unfortunate tendency to immortalize a passage as some special insight into the nature of life when it is, in fact, quite the reverse. The speech of Jaques is, along with the advice of the Polonius to his son, the most famous example of this problem.

The entrance of ...

Ahab experienced quite similar emotions. The main theme of Moby Dick was revenge, but it is not secret that m...
