Boys On The Island Born Evil
1,086 wordsThere is hardly ever a man clever enough to recognize the full extent of the evil he does.

Sylvia Plath Mental State
1,310 wordsThe role of a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead is ultimately to breed, and nothing more. Cooped up in a nondescript room with nothing but her own thoughts and painful memories for company, the narrator, Offred, shows many signs of retreating further and further into her own world, and becoming slowly more unstable throughout the course of the novel as her terrible new life continues. The most common and by far the most disturbing example of this is the use of imagery and symbolism in the book....

Though it is a much shorter and somewhat less developed account of totalitarianism than his later work 1984, muted only by its fairy-tale qualities, it is no less frightening in presenting the dangers of blindly following a leader in a political climate of absolute power. Orwell presents to us the story of Manor Farm, run by the drunk, laggard farmer, Mr. Jones. The animals of t...
