... of death, its inevitability and its finality.
The absurd is a revolt against tomorrow and as
such comes to terms with the present moment.
Suicide consents to the absurd as final and
limitless while revolt is a an ongoing struggle
with the absurd and brings with it man's
redemption. One can see now why Sisyphus is the
absurd hero. He is conscious of his plight: it was
his scorn of the gods, hatred of death, and
passion for life that won him the penalty of
rolling a rock to the top of the moun...

Robert Frosts The Road Not Taken is a symbolic
poem of the complications people must face in the

imagery to make his poem more complex for the
audience. In the first stanza, Frost attempts to

century society. The treatment of these women was
also extremely negative; they were expected to
stay home and fulfill domestic duties. Literature
of this time embodies and mirrors social issues of
women in society. Henrik Ibsen uses Nora Helmer in
A Doll House to portray the negative treatment of
all women throughout society during the nineteenth
century. Many women characters throughout American
literature reflect the same conflicts and
attitudes of ...

Critical Analysis Of Barn Burning By Faulkner
900 words
At first glance, the story Barn Burning seems just
to be about a tyrannical father and a son who is
in the grips of that tyranny. I think Faulkner
explores at least one important philosophical
question in this story were he asks at what point
should a person make a choice between what his
parent (s) and / or family believes and his own
values? The main character and protagonist in this
story is a boy named Colonel Sartoris. In this
story, Sarty is faced with the decision of either

Gina Marchetti uses a keen eye to closely analyze
and uncover the underlying themes present in the
1957 film Sayonara. Marchetti argues that, if
anything, the film is much more involved with
civil rights than it is with any serious ant-war
or anti-racism message. Her point is well made and
defended by the many examples given of how
instances of conservative behavior, often
masculine characters craving control, overshadow
any hint of moral lesson ...
