Paradoxes In Man And The Universe By Pascal

The Degeneration Of Order In Lord Flies
1,479 words.".. Lord of the Flies is not, to say the least, a simple adventure story of boys on a desert island" (Epstein 204). The elements of Lord of the Flies -- a tropical island, a group of schoolboys without adult supervision, a herd of wild pigs -- may seem to be the elements of a perfect Utopian fantasy. Instead, they are the elements of a nightmare, a Utopia that quickly disintegrates into, first, chaos and then a dictatorship based on fear and ritualized brutality. However, the novel is also not ...

Mother And Sister Tells The Audience
1,626 wordsFrom the beginning, the figure of the narrator shows that Williams' play will not follow the conventions of realistic theater. The narrator breaks the conceptual 'fourth wall' of naturalistic drama by addressing the audience directly. Tom also tells us that he is going to give the audience truth disguised as illusion, making the audience conscious of the illusory quality of theater.
