Rochester And Jane Fire And Water
1,950 words
Critics such as Adrienne Rich argue that Jane Eyre
has to choose between the "temptation" of
following the rule of passion by marrying
Rochester, which would have made her dependent on
him and not his equal, or of living a life of
complete renunciation of all passions, by marrying
St John Rivers. Fire and water imagery symbolizes
the two forces competing for dominance in Jane
Eyre, both on a personal and metaphorical level.
Throughout the novel, such imagery is used by
Bront, in keeping with her...

Mother Funeral Pay Attention
1,246 words
Emma and Meursault were both strangers to society
because of passion; Emma needed passion in a
society that condemned it while Meursault refused
passion in a society that promoted it. As early as
Part I Chapter 5, Flaubert makes it evident that
Emma is searching for passion. Before she was
married, she mistakenly thought she was in love
and therefore agreed to the marriage that could
not consummate her desire for a passionate
lifestyle. The world Emma lived in was constantly
trying to downplay p...

... ng her inner emotions. Calixta and Alce move
to a window to watch the storm, and when lightning
strikes nearby, Calixta staggers backward into
Alce's arms, and for a moment he draws her "close
and spasmodically to him" (p 210). Alce has
apparently not, until this point, sensed the
passion that Calixta feels: "The contact of her
warm, palpitating body when he had unthinkingly
drawn her into his arms had aroused all the
old-time infatuation and desire for her flesh" (p
210). Chopin presents bo...

Moral Principles Human Spirit
2,220 words
The Balance of Power Throughout the semester, a
theme that has guided our thoughts has been the
idea that the self is the capacity to have
capacities. Through what we have read, written
about, and discussed, we have been trying to come
up with our own answers to the questions about the
self; what a capacity is, how we find them, which
ones are essential to human flourishing, what we
do with them once they are found? Yet all of these
questions lead us to answer that final and
defining question of...

The Aesthetics of Passion and Betrayal In The
Passion of Joan of Arc, Carl Theodor Dreyer uses
the vitality of spatial relationships in each shot
with the human face and its ability to convey
unspoken emotion in his portrayal of the demise of
Joan of Arc. Unlike most film, the message is
almost entirely told by just the eyes and
expressions of the actors. There is very little
reliance upon props and background. The camera
angles and close-up shooting accentuate emotions
and reactions. The editin...

Causes And Effects Psychological Egoist
1,887 words
In his Treatise of Human Nature, David Hume
outlines his theory of human morality. Hume? s
argument is the notion that human morality is not
based on rational thought and reason, but rather
is a consequence of our passions. Because passions
themselves can never present themselves as the
product of any sort of reasoning, it would be
illogical to ever judge a moral action as rational
or irrational. This, therefore, raises the
question, what is the role of reason in moral
thinking? This paper will ...

Male Dominated Society Place In Society

Although Charlotte Bronte uses Jane Eyre to
represent a modern woman, she fails to do so for
Jane is forced to accept her role as a woman in
the Victorian patriarchal society, which defines
her character and determines the outcome of her
life. Jane lives in a world and in a time where
society thought women were too fragile to ponder.
Women at the time have barely any rights at all
and are not allowed prominent positions. Male
dominance is the biggest obstruction at each stop
of Janes journey thr...

Constraints Of Society Feminine Sexuality
2,399 words
In Kate Chopin's short story The Storm, the
narrative surrounds the brief extramarital affair
of two individuals, Calixta and Alc? e. Many
critics do not see the story as a condemnation of
infidelity, but rather as an affirmation of human
sexuality. This essay argues that The Storm may be
interpreted as a specific affirmation of feminine
sexuality and passion conjoined with a
condemnation of its repression by the constraints
of society. If one is to attempt to interpret The
Storm, it becomes nec...

Doesn Acute T Don Acute T

These two texts are examples of allegories. On the
surface they are both exiting adventure stories
about people being stranded on desert islands.
However both texts can also be interpreted as
moral messages. In Lord of the Flies Golding
explores the theory of atavism, that is whether
the boys (representing human kind) are naturally
evil but have had their nature stifled by the
ritual of society, and whether when society is
left behind people will naturally decent into
savagery and malevolence. I...
