All Quiet on the Western Front Chapter Summary By:
Jesse Cody All Quiet on the Western Front is an
anti-war novel from the opening chapters. Many
critics of the novel in the early days after the
publication of the novel blamed Remarque for
writing for shock value. They did not want to

Balance Of Power Napoleonic Wars

"To understand Europe between 1789 and 1850 is to
understand that European events were a reflection
of what happened in France. " The ascent of
cohesive protection arrangements in
nineteenth-century Europe emerged within the
context of immense social and political shifts
that swept the continent. Some historians argue
that European politics was changed between 1789
and 1850, characterized by a fundamental
alteration in the governing norms, rules, and
practices of international relations. Most sc...

Save Her Husbands Life Henrik Ibsen
1,012 words
A play serves as the authors tool for critiquing
society. One rarely encounters the ability to
transcend accepted social beliefs. The play
reflects controversial issues that the audience
can relate to because they interact in the same
situations every day. As late nineteenth century
playwright, Henrik Ibsen points out the flaws of
mankind and also provides an answer to the
controversy. Unknowingly the heroine solves the
problem at the end of the play and indirectly
sends a message to the audienc...

There Justified Revenge Justified Revenge There
are many themes to Emily Bronte's Wuthering
Heights. However, the most dominant theme is that
of revenge. This is especially true in the second
half of the book when Heathcliff's malicious plan
of revenge comes to life. Many believe Heathcliff
to be inhuman, some even describe him as sadistic
and demonic. Heathcliff's revenge may involve a
pathological condition of hatred, but it is not at
bottom merely neurotic. It has a moral force.

1917) Aspects of Degas work mainly, his ballet
paintings from the 1880 S have long been popular
with a broad audience; too much so for their own
good. But he has never been a popular artist like

crowds and bored everyone else. Degas was much
harder to take, with his spiny intelligence (never
Renoirs problem), his puzzling mixtures of
categories, his unconvention...

been the century of Socialism, Liberalism and
Democracy, it does not follow that the twentieth
must also be the century of Liberalism, Socialism
and Democracy. Political doctrines pass; peoples

be that of authority, a century of the Right, a
Fascist century. If the nineteenth was the century

may be the century of collectivism and therefore
