Poetry of Langston Hughes, a True Afro American
Writer No African American poet, writer, and
novelist has ever been appreciated by every ethnic
society as much as Langston Hughes was. The poetry
of this writer tried to evoke the spirit of life
in the hearts of his black fellows. Critics argue
that Hughes reached that level of prominence,
because all his works reflected on his life's
experience, whether they have been good or bad. He
never wrote one single literary piece that did not

of a perfectly balanced society, a communist
society. Simply put, a communist society is one
where all property is held in common. No one
person has more than the other, but rather
everyone shares in the fruits of their labors.
Marx is writing of this society b...

century in France. This literary stream encouraged
writers to express their ideas, feelings, and
values by means of symbols or suggestions rather

Stephen Vincent Ben? t, Editor Excerpt from the
Foreword to For My People Straightforwardness,
directness, reality are good things to find in a
young poet. It is rarer to find them combined with
a controlled intensity of emotion and a language
that, at times, even when it is most modern, has
something of the surge of biblical poetry. And it
is obvious that Miss Walker uses that language
because it comes naturally to her and is part of
her inheritance. A contemporary writer, living in

and meaningless promises. This becomes evident in
the first few lines. We first learn of the empty
words of Goneril and Regan as well as their hatred
for their father, King Lear. This becomes the
center of the play and also leads to the madness
that the king suffers from. The first words that
Goneril speaks are totally empty and are the
complete oppo...

Prince Of Denmark State Of Mind

Hamlet Knows Exactly Where He is Going Madness
fascinated William Shakespeare's contemporaries,
perhaps in part because it was still not entirely
clear how or when madness as a disease was to be
distinguished from demonic possession or spiritual
ecstasy. Mad characters were a staple of William
Shakespeare's stage and such figures were

exploration and implicit criticis...
