Through the narrative eyes of Newland Archer, the reader sees a woman like no other woman (102). Ellen Olenska is much like Hawthorne's Hester Prynne in the way she exhibits courage and strength.

Black And White Maltese Falcon
2,037 wordsThe Maltese Falcon In my opinion, The Maltese Falcon is the best example of the detective story of the early years of XX century, which was followed by the creation of movie. Written in 1930, The Maltese Falcon creates its own rules and style for detective fiction. It was a groundbreaking book, offering up a style of writing that most had not seen before.

19 Th Century Age Of Innocence
3,243 wordsEdith Wharton's books are considered, by some, merely popular fiction of her time. But we must be careful not to equate popularity with the value of the fiction; i. e. , we must not assume that if her books are popular, they are also primitive. Compared to the works of her contemporary and friend, Henry James, whose books may seem complex and sometimes bewildering; Wharton's The Age of Innocence appears to be a simplistic, gossipy commentary of New York society during the last decade of the 19 t...

3,563 wordsIt is an unquestionable fact of life that human nature is flawed. Human beings have a variety of weaknesses that may differ from one person to the next. How one deals with this ultimately determines whether it will or will not destroy the person. The faults that humans possess stem from an open field of possibilities that they are able to choose from as they build their own character.
