Rappacini in Nathaniel Hawthorne's Rappacini's
Daughter, his scientific experiments prove to be
more important to him than his daughter Beatrice's
wellbeing. His selfishness leads to both the

The Triumph of Nature over Civilization: The
Disintegration of Dick Diver The exact nature of
Dick Divers descent throughout the course of
Tender is the Night is difficult to discern. It is
clear enough that his disintegration is occasioned
by Nicole's burgeoning independence, but why or
how her transformation affects him this way is
less than obvious. Moreover, it is not at all
apparent what is at stake, more abstractly, in
this reciprocal exchange of fates. In this paper,
I will propose a read...

Failure Of The American Dream Great Gatsby

On one level the novel comments on the careless
gaiety and moral decadence of the period. It
contains innumerable references to the
contemporary scene. The wild extravagance of
Gatsby's parties, the shallowness and aimlessness
of the guests and the hint of Gatsby's involvement
in crime all identify the period and the American
setting. But as a piece of social commentary The
Great Gatsby also describes the failure of the
American dream, from the point of view that
American political ideals confli...

Circle Of Hell Dantes Inferno

In Dantes Divine Comedy, Dante incorporates
Virgil's portrayal of Hades from The Aeneid into
his poem, and similarities between the Inferno and
Hades can be drawn, however Dante wasnt attempting
to duplicate Virgil's works. Although the Hell
depicted in Dantes Inferno is essentially based on
the literary construction of the underworld found
in Virgil's Aeneid, in their particulars the two
kingdoms are quite different. Virgil's underworld
is largely undifferentiated, and Aeneas walks
through it w...

Green Light At The End Love For Daisy
2,846 words
In Fitzgerald s Gatsby, Gatsby is not great and
not Gatsby (his real name is Get). He is a
criminal who has involved himself with Wolfsheim.
He has committed crimes in order to buy the
possessions he feels he needs to win the woman he
loves, who is another mans wife. Thus a central
question for us, as the reader is, why is Gatsby a
hero? Why, does Fitzgerald invite us to cry out
with Nick, Theyre a rotten crowd. Youre worth the
whole damn bunch put together. In Gatsby, Gatsby
is a hero because o...

Jay Gatsby American Dream
760 words
F. Scott Fitzgerald emulates the American Dream as
something corrupt, and not easy to achieve. The
American Dream is made up of a long social ladder,
and it is often impossible to be accepted at the
top of this social ladder. In The Great Gatsby
Fitzgerald portrays Gatsby as the epitome of the
American Dream. However, there is a fine line
between what many of us think is the American
Dream, and what Fitzgerald thinks is the American
Dream. One must be able to differentiate between
Gatsby's ideal...
