Roller Coaster Second Quatrain
1,143 words
In his English sonnet When I Have Fears (pg. 17,

the human emotions felt when dealing with death. I
believe that Keats wrote this poem to describe the

sonnet takes a roller coaster course throughout
the poem from one quatrain to the next. With
careful examination one can see that Keats used
the first quatrain to describe a state of utter
confusion, the se...

Nabokov's Lolita, Humbert's obsession Early
reflections on Lolita conducted both by its
admirers and detractors constituted the perfect
mixture for revolutionary novel with praise for
Nabokov's literary achievement and condemnation
for its highbrow pornography. From the critical
point of view, due to its immediate and continuous
controversy, the majority of audience has
encountered the novel with some preconception
about its obscene content. Employing an image of
his narrator, Nabokov introduced...

nearly every other aspect of the novel. Another
theme is just the opposite of death: life.

Although Nathaniel Hawthorne s The Scarlet Letter

inviting the soul to wander for a spell in abysses
of solitude; to lose itself in mazes of inward
contemplation. The voice of the sea speaks to the
soul. The touch of the sea is sensuous, enfolding
