Jean Paul Sartre Circle Of Hell
792 words
From folklore to fairy tales there is the use of
violent action to convey a specific message to the
readers because violence never occurs without
having a point to be made. Violent scenes often
are the most gruesome and horrific yet they can
contribute to the entire meaning of a work.
Violence in a story always has a hidden purpose,
and is there to enhance the inner meaning of the
story while offering an extremely graphic visual
to its readers. In Dantes The Inferno and States
No Exit, there are...

gloomy town more vivid. He uses gloomy references
to create the mood of the story, and then changes
to bright light references when talking about
Mangans sister....

Sir Lancelot Descriptive Language
1,352 words
In any piece of lyrical poetry, authors must
masterfully use the language of the poem to covey
the intended meaning. In order to ensure the
meaning is not lost, it is imperative that the
author incorporates various aspects of the
narrative to escalate the poem past its face
value. Alfred Tennyson's poem The Lady of Shallot
is no exception to the rule. From lines like blue
unclouded weather and the gemmy bridle glitter
free, one can draw that descriptive language is
Tennyson's tool to revealing t...
