Suicide Off Egg Rock Suicide Off Egg Plath
994 wordsEven in her earlier poems, Sylvia Plath displays an unhealthy preoccupation with sex, madness, morbidity and obscurity. There seem to be a number of common themes running through all of Plath's poems, which encapsulate her personal attitudes and feelings of life at the time she wrote them. Of these themes, the most prevalent are: sex, madness, morbidity and obscurity. The whole concept of sex to Plath appears to be a very disturbed and resentful one. This is conveyed strongly through the poem Ma...

Shakespeare Dramatic Genius Portrayed As A Comic Character Shylock
1,218 wordster> Modern Humanitarianism has run riot on Shylock. Discuss. The Merchant of Venice is concerned with two issues that were of importance in the Elizabethan Age: Jewry and Usury.

Philosophy In Edgar Allan Poe The Black Cat
1,243 wordsThe philosopher Thomas Hobbes is quoted as saying that life is nasty, brutish and short (Landry). This certainly turns out to be the case for the people and animals who live with the alcoholic, abusive, and murderous man in Edgar Allan Poe's The Black Cat. One shudders as he describes the horrific thoughts running through his mind. Even more terrible and shocking are the senseless acts of cruelty, and later murder, that he carries out upon his cat and wife. Edgar Allan Poe evokes a sense of terr...

Derided By Vanity Driven And Derided By Vanity Story
931 wordsIn the short story Araby, the author, James Joyce, uses many different techniques to convey the discoveries that the main character realizes about himself, and life.

First and foremost, Araby is a story of the discovery of what love is (and more importantly what it isnt) - but beyond that, it is a complex analysis of the ironies inherent in self-deception. On one lev...

Day Ohara Poem
355 wordsIn his poem, The Day Lady Died, Frank OHara refrains from using all the conventional patterns of elegiac poetry. Instead of the common reflection of grief, utilizing tragic laments and a recount of greatness now gone, Ohara's seemingly ordinary poem very subtly evokes a sense of loss. At first, Ohara's poem appears to be the account of a very typical day. His classic I do this and I do that style, accompanied by the simplistic description of his trivial daily, contribute to the sense of. He gets...
