Gwendolyn Brooks Black Man
1,250 words... rity and doubt. She is telling her lover that this is how their love was Surely But I am very off from that. This opening line is very powerful in its meaning. It is as if she was going to write another line about how sure their love is, but then she stops. Their relationship is no longer so sure. In fact, what she is saying in the octave has a very detached meaning. Surely she could go to find him, but she doesnt, surely he stays certain, but is he certain? Is their love still certain?

Epic Of Gilgamesh Gilgamesh And Enkidu
1,169 wordsSocrates view of death in the Phaedo, Crito, and Apology is complex. His argument tries to prove that philosophers, of all people, are in the best state to die or will be in the best state after life because of the life they lead. Socrates views are sharply contrasted in The Epic of Gilgamesh. In fact, he would probably say that Gilgamesh had not lived the proper kind of life and his views of life, and death would lead to an unsettled existence in the afterlife. Socrates view of death, from his ...

Emily Dickinson Love Themes
655 wordsLove Theme's in Emily Dickinson's Poetry In evaluating Emily Dickinson's biography and poems, I surmised that excluding the love of father, brother, and her deceased nephew, Emily's knowledge of romantic love, by first-hand experience, is questionable. The pure-of-mind reader may believe that what familiarity she had about love matters might have been based mainly on her extensive reading of literature. Emily was an avid reader and was particularly fond of, among others, Ralph Waldo Emerson and ...

Harold Pinter The Menacing Silences In Truth
3,612 words... rt's 'night out', thereby, is well within an endless series of interlocked rooms, each bigger & yet smaller than the other! In The Lover (1962), the iconic social differences between the married wife & the elegant whore, between the socially accepted husband & the widely denied external lover, all turn blurred. They all become the same again to mock at traditionally accepted universal truths as they subvert radically at the face of a linguistic & textual identically. Pinter's most stage-succ...

Seven Stages Opening Scene
2,015 words1. Introduction Characters have always been and still are the focal point of every play. This is not surprising, since it is they who make up the whole story. Judging by the way they talk and gesticulate, they do not only determine their own personality but they also develop the plot, the social context, the atmosphere and the theme of the whole play. Language is the most important factor, when it comes to identifying and analysing a certain character type. The picture that we, as the reader, ge...

State Of Affairs Ben Jonson
999 wordsBen Jonson These poems of Ben Jonson are immortal pieces of poetry. His love is not passionate but metaphysical in nature. My picture left in Scotland beautifully describes the physical and metaphysical nature of love in its very subtle manner. Is love the attraction of physical mould or a spiritual attainment? Since ages love is being raised in various philosophies and its greatness being ascribed in words and spirits both. But what makes love different is its silent absorption over the sandy e...

Brothers And Sisters Cycle Of Life
1,138 wordsWhitman Sung of Sensuality Walt Whitman was at once more sensual in his imagery than any of his contemporaries.

Certainly he talks of love and sexuality too, but even his sensual imagery was often shocking to people of his time.
