One Less Traveled Made All The Difference
1,012 words
Everyone is a traveler, choosing the roads to
follow on the continuous journey of life; there
exists not a path that leaves one with but a sole
direction in which to advance. In his poem, "The
Road Not Taken", Robert Frost exhibits insight and
perception in using poetic techniques to
communicate this message. The piece depicts a mans
regret at not being able to travel two roads, and
having to make a choice between the two. The
importance of making decisions is disclosed in the
narrators assertio...

J Alfred Prufrock T S Eliot

Contrary to what the title implies, The Love Song
of J. Alfred Prufrock, by T. S. Eliot, is anything
but a love song. It is instead quite the opposite.
Although the poem is open to several
interpretations, after careful reading of the
poem, the several underlying themes can be
expressed by one central idea. In the poem, the
narrator, J. Alfred Prufrock, portrays his
disappointment with the society he lives in. By
interpreting aspects of imagery, speaker and
intended audience, one can easily asse...

the last part of the poem, Prufrock shows his
final despair in life. He can not bring himself to
tell the woman that he is in love with how he
really feels. However, if he ever did decide to
tell her, it would come out as a mess. He finds
himself with no real role in life. He is no Prince
Hamlet, nor was he meant to be, but rather an
attendant lord, or sometimes the Fool. He hears
the mermaids singing, but he thinks: I do not

Comparing Great Expectations And Of Mice Men

Expectations and Of Mice and Men, are very
different. Of Mice and Men is set in 1930 s
America during the Great Depression. There was a
high unemployment rate, which meant that people
had to travel along vast amounts of land for a
single job. It was a struggle for financial
freedom, which is a theme to the novel. Great
Expectations is set in England in 1891. During
this time, death was a common occurrence and
happened often. The main character Pip begins...

Porphyrias Lover Feminist Critics
1,417 words
On the surface Brownings Porphyria's Lover is a
sadistic tale of a homicidal man who snuffs out
the woman he loves in order to possess her;
however, this is a piece ripe for multiple
interpretations. Feminist critics may view it as a
misogynist piece on the strangling of women from
then modern culture, while Psychoanalytic critics
would see it as a disturbing echo of Brownings own
morbid desires. However, it can be seen most
clearing from those who have significant
backgrounds in both Postmodern...
