Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Oedipus Complex
1,621 wordsWilliam Shakespeare's Hamlet has always provided literary critics with a rich source for character analysis.

Science Fiction Los Angeles
1,243 wordsIn The Martial Chronicals, Ray Bradbury provides a glimpse into the future that not only looks at people from a technological standpoint, but from a human one as well.

(Bryfonski, 68) Ray Douglas Bradbury was born on August 22, 1920 to Leonard Spaulding and Ester Bradbury in Waukegan, Illinois. He began his writing at...

Causes Of The Salem Witch Craft Trials
1,111 words... Hanson was certain that the girls were not possessed, but clinically insane (x). And that, he explained, may have been the result of witchcraft which, contrary to popular belief, is psychogenic, rather than occult. That means that the girls may have experienced their hysterical symptoms as a result of their fear. Regardless, the girls were insane, Hanson contended, long before any clergyman got to them. Another possible explanation for the girls insanity was ergot poisoning, a common problem...

Number Of Missions Colonel Cathcart
2,212 wordsLife is filled with situations that are very difficult to find an escape. Even once in a while, life presents a situation that is beyond difficult, and completely impossible to escape from.

Set in the final months of World War II, Catch- 22 tells the story ...

Saturday Evening Post Comedy And Tragedy
1,618 wordsSince the dawn of literature and drama, comedy and tragedy have always been partitioned into separate genres. Certainly most tragedies had comedic moments, and even the zaniest comedies were at times serious. However, even the development of said tragicomedies left the division more or less intact. Integrating a total comedy and a total tragedy into a holistic union that not only preserved both features, but also blended them into a new and harmonious entity remained elusive. That is, until Catc...

Offer Is Made Breach Of Contract

Tale Crimes Committed
2,523 wordsThe Style and Genre of Lady Audley? s Secret Lady Audley? s Secret, by Mary Elizabeth Braddon, is a novel of many elements. It has been placed in many different style or genre categories since its publication. I feel that it best fits under the melodrama or sensational genre, and under the subgenre of mystery. It contains significant elements of both types of writing, so I feel it is best to recognize both, keeping in mind that melodrama is its main device and mystery is a type of Victorian melo...

Joseph Heller uses the insane situations of the setting and his characters to show a unique perspective on World War II. A small Army...
