Jackie Room Eyes
575 wordsJackie stared at the piece of paper with trembling hands and then back at me, her eyes danced uncontrollably with joy. Elated, she held onto the letter tenaciously and ran around the room in a frenzied madness. "Grandfather Morgan, is dead!" she proclaimed, her pale arms gesticulated wildly as she re-read short extracts from my grandfather's lawyer's letter in her formal tone, which was occasionally punctuated by short bursts of laughter. "He's dead, " together, we proclaimed again and again in ...

Point Of The Play Make The Audience
733 wordsMichael Frank Noises Off is a 2 hour classical farce that appears at first to be one play; but, after the Second Act, one can clearly see that it is composed of two plays running parallel to each other that are: Nothing On, a sex farce, and the backstage farce that takes place whilst the cast rehearse for the final leg of the Nothing On tour. The two plays meld, as the characters make their exits from Nothing On and entrances to the backstage tomfoolery. Whilst the characters come and go from on...

Turn Of The Screw Miss Jessel
1,389 wordsIn Henry James' novella The Turn of the Screw we are presented with an unreliable governess that tells a story about a haunted mansion. The novella is so ambiguous that at the end the question still remains: do the ghosts exist or is the governess going wildly insane? The film version, directed by Jack Clayton is much less ambiguous, but with evidence of both sides. The Innocents leans more toward the fact that the ghosts do exist and the children are possessed, although they might not realize i...

Tones In A Small Place By Jamaica Kincaid
562 wordsThe overall feeling the Jamaica Kincaid relays to the reader in A Small Place is very negative. All through out the book she bashes at the way-of-life on her native island Antigua by the politicians and tourists. I think that the two major tones in A Small Place are cynical and livid. Cynical is described in the dictionary as believing or showing the belief that people are motivated chiefly by base or selfish concerns; skeptical of the motives of others. Kincaid talks cynically through out the b...

Edgar Allan Poe Modern Critical Views
1,244 wordsThe short story writer which I have chosen to research is Edgar Allen Poe. After reading one of his works in class, I realized that his mysterious style of writing greatly appealed to me. Although many critics have different views on Poe's writing style, I think that Harold Bloom summed it up best when he said, Poe has an uncanny talent for exposing our common nightmares and hysteria lurking beneath our carefully structured lives. (7) For me, this is done through his use of setting and narrative...

Love For Heathcliff Third And Final

Irony is often times used in novels to raise the reader s interest by making the novel more unpredictable. This literary phenomena is employed frequently in many novels, especially frequently in Emily Bront s, Wuthering Heights. Though the novel is full of irony, in fact it seems to be bursting through the cover of the book itself, there are three instances that are particularly impo...

Lowood Institution Thornfield Hall
760 wordsThe role nature played in Jane Eyre's life parallels itself in many peoples lives. I cannot count the many instances that I was having a terrible day and the weather outside was absolutely dreary. Often, days began as sunny but turned cloudy and my mood coincided along with it. Nature constantly spoke to Jane; it reaffirmed thoughts and feelings for Jane and it also gave an insight to the reader about characters. As a little girl, Jane was treated harshly. Mrs. Reed cared little for Jane and thi...

House Of Usher Fall Of The House
819 wordsFall of the House of Usher " During the whole of a dull, dark, and soundless day in autumn of the year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens? " is the opening sentence to the ever strange The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe (1373). This sentence pretty much simplifies the mood of this gothic tale of death and the supernatural. This story encompasses a unique setting which acts out the story by itself.

Stoops To Conquer Chain Of Events
1,662 wordsTHE MISTAKES OF A NIGHT Oliver Goldsmith, born the son of an Anglo-Irish clergyman, established himself during his brief career as an essayist, poet and dramatist with great comic insight into the social mores of Georgian England. His dramatic triumph She Stoops to Conquer (1773), is a dramatic irony, that is a play of manners. Rather than referring to the play as She Stoops to Conquer, one can make a case that The Mistakes of a Night may be a more fitting title. While not the central figure of ...

To see is to know the absolute truth, but to missed is to have the allusion of truth, which would eventually prove itself to be merely a cloudy fa ade. In F.
