Killing The King Pathetic Fallacy
1,704 wordsAt the time Shakespeare wrote Macbeth, people were interested in the idea of the supernatural and the unknown. It would have been a hot conversational topic of the day in the late 16 th century, with most folks being very suspicious of things of this nature. This seems to be one of the reasons why Shakespeare chose to write a play about this particular theme. Another reason would be that the playwright knew his work would be performed in front of King James; the King was of Scottish heritage and...

Victorian Life Through Color
1,826 wordsThe use of color in Victorian literature and art has gone far beyond simple description to form it's very own sort of diction. Whether reading Victorian prose or looking at a Pre-Rapaelite painting one is drawn in and deeply affected by the arrangement and combination of it's colors. In the two of these mediums, each color is both powerful and used precisely either to represent a trait or emotion or to compliment other colors to form a greater representation of an idea. Furthermore, seeing these...

Kobe Bryant American People
1,265 wordsEvery person everywhere in the United States is consumed by what the media tells them: what to do, what to wear, where to go to shop. People will swear up and down that they want to have their own identity, and they will even go to great lengths to attain it, yet, inevitably, they all fall into a "clique" with millions of others. Nobody wants to be a follower, but in terms of youth culture, nobody can really be a true leader. Nobody, that is, except the media. The American people, young and old ...

Act 1 Scene 5 Act 3 Scene
1,307 wordsThe death of Hamlet was caused by a number of reasons, many of which were his own fault. Although this may be disputed it is a fact that this was a tragedy, but aside from the obvious reasons (the trap set by Claudius and Laertes) there were steps leading up his death which could have easily been avoided. Probably Hamlet's most tragic flaw is that he becomes too involved in his thoughts, it is his tendency to ponder upon the possible outcome of every situation and scenario that he faces in his l...

Midsummer Nights Dream Iii Ii
622 wordsLove is a timeless topic. It will forever be the theme of popular entertainment and source of confusion for men and women alike. No one understands this better than William Shakespeare, and he frequently explores this complex emotion in his writing of great works. In A Midsummer Nights Dream he cleverly reveals the fickle and inebriating aspects of love through his mischievous character Puck. Though Puck adds much humor to the play while tormenting and drugging the lovers in the forest, he also ...

Pathetic Old Man King Of Darkness Brad
1,379 wordsChapter 1 The echoed screams of those who have been banished progress through the many corridors. Every one of them strikes fear into the minds of whoever listens. This is the place of fear, the worst punishment there is. Fear, the one thing that nobody wants, but there isnt one person who does not have a fear. Whatever this fear may be, it is multiplied one hundred fold and met every minute when you are here. Here is hell, where Lucifer, the Prince of Darkness, walks about his chaotic masterpie...

Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale Hester And Pearl
1,301 wordsIn Hawthorne's classic, The Scarlet Letter, Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale is a self-confessed coward and hypocrite. He is fully aware of the means by which he must liberate his soul from the confines of his grave sin, and make his concord with God. Yet, throughout the story his confession remains an impediment, constraining him, from then onwards, to a life of atonement. Reverend Dimmesdale's guilt complex causes him to cultivate a crop of internal conflicts. He attempts to divest himself of his pe...

20 Th Century Rhyme Scheme
1,262 wordsIn this essay I intend to look at two poems: Sparrow by Thom Gunn and Rose by Walter de la Mare. I will analyse each poem in terms of their tone, treatment, subject and verse technique and then compare them to see if there are any significant similarities or differences between them. Both poems are examples of lyric poetry. The main features of lyric poetry are strong emotional feeling and extensive use of imagery. Lyric poetry covers everything from hymns, lullabies, and folk songs to the huge ...

Religious Leaders Hard Rock
462 wordsThe song "hard rock Hallelujah" is a song which tries to correct injustice done in the world, especially in the religious sector. The leading point is that the religious leaders, who supposed to guide the moral worlds, led the world into a horrible atmosphere of lies. The rising question from the song is "if the religious leaders felt in their mission- who is to accomplish is?" - The answer is in the body of the texts: "Rock 'n roll angels brings the Hard Rock Hallelujah." In the Modern world, m...

Prologue And Tale Wife Of Bath
3,739 wordsThe Canterbury Tales By far Chaucer's most popular work, although he might have preferred to have been remembered by Troilus and Criseyde, the Canterbury Tales was unfinished at his death. No less than fifty-six surviving manuscripts contain, or once contained, the full text. More than twenty others contain some parts or an individual tale. The work begins with a General Prologue in which the narrator arrives at the Tabard Inn in Southwark, and meets other pilgrims there, whom he describes. In t...

Death Of A Salesman Willy Loan
1,404 wordsDeath of a Salesman, written in 1949 by American playwright Arthur Miller, illustrates the destructive compulsion of a man to attain a success far beyond his reach. This is accomplished through the portrayal of Willy Loan, the plays central character. Willy Loan is a pathetic character because he does not hold any possibility of victory. Unrealistic dreams which are the product of a refusal to honestly acknowledge his abilities deter any triumph that Willy may have the ability to achieve. Throug...

Great Expectations Real Life
1,379 wordsThe very title of this book indicates the confidence of conscious genius. In a new aspirant for public favor, such a title might have been a good device to attract attention; but the most famous novelist of the day, watched by jealous rivals and critics, could hardly have selected it, had he not inwardly felt the capacity to meet all the expectations he raised. I have read it as it appeared in installments, and can testify to the felicity with which expectation was excited and prolonged, and to ...

2,795 wordsPART # 2 CHAPTERS 1 - 2 Summary The UM starts out talking about the office he worked in when he was twenty-four: apparently he hated everyone there and likewise, they hated him. The narrative then derails while the UM describes the Russian national character, which he believes eliminates fools and elevates Romantics who appreciate the sublime and beautiful. Returning to his description of his life, he notes that he had no friends and was always alone, spending most of his time reading. He admits...

Slippery Slope Scarlet Letter
1,204 wordsBut (Hester) is not the protagonist; the chief actor, and the tragedy of The Scarlet Letter is not her tragedy, but Dimmesdale's. He it was whom the sorrows of death encompassed... His public confession is one of the noblest climaxes of tragic literature. This statement by Randall Stewart does not contain the same ideas that I believed were contained within The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne. I, on the contrary to Stewarts statement, think Dimmesdale is a coward and a hypocrite. Worse, h...

Sun Also Rises Members Of The Group
1,335 wordsIn Hemingway s The Sun Also Rises, each character is caught up in an elaborate social dynamic in which their manner of acting, or their style, dictates how they view and value one another. This proscribed right way of doing things shapes how Jake describes his friends, and in turn shapes the reader s view of the characters. Each character has specific attributes that either fall into the right or wrong category that help shape the reader s conception of the character. When Jake reflects on his p...
