Ethan And Mattie Falls In Love

Ethan Frome Project: # 3 Psychological Analysis
Narrator: The narrator of the story is a simple
man who tries to take on an almost futile task.
This is an almost futile task because the
townspeople such as Ned Hale and Ruth Varnum do
not like to talk about Frome. The townspeople do
not avoid the subject of Frome due to disapproval,
but rather a sense of such extreme sadness that it
is difficult to speak about. This task is to find
out about Ethan Frome's past. More specifically

Benito Cereno Centered Ness
875 words
In Herman Melville's Benito Cereno ignorance
appears to be an overwhelming theme. Although
Benito Cereno holds a powerful message about
slavery, this is not the major idea of the story.
Ignorance is the fire that fuels slavery. During
the entire story every main character displays
signs of idiocy. Unfortunately, the most important
decision-maker in the story, Captain Alaska
Delano, falls into this category. Melville's story
is told through a narrator. He purposely tries to
let the reader slowly ...

take into consideration at what time period,
relative to this story, are these views being
