Harsh Realities African Americans
2,427 wordsComing Up of Age in Harlem Manchild in the Promised Land by Claude Brown is one of the most realistic books written about life in Harlem. Although the book is not a memoir, the main hero of the book resembles the author itself in many ways, there are a lot of details that allow us to suggest that actually the book is about life of Claude Brown himself. The main idea conveyed throughout the book is that life in Harlem was so violent and harsh in its nature, that it was not possible at all to be a...

Young Goodman Brown Vs Rose For Emily
1,776 wordsYoung Goodman Brown vs. Rose For Emily In this paper I would like to evaluate and analyze two literary works, namely, Young Goodman Brown by Nathaniel Hawthorne and Rose For Emily by William Faulkner. The reason for my choosing these two works is the following: I believe that on close reading of the aforementioned novels one can trace the similarity in the personality of the main character is portrayed as being the incarnation of twisted perception of the world and what good and evil is. Young G...

Ralph Waldo Emerson Ethan Frome
2,260 wordsEthan Frome Ethan Frome (main character of Ethan Frome) was a man who lived in his own world of silence. Ethan also lived in the small, dark town of Starkfield, Massachusetts. He was the most striking figure in his town yet he was but the ruin of a man. By many people Ethan was mistaken for an old man though he was not more than fifty-two. This narration is a far cry from the character of Newland Archer (main character in The Age of Innocence). Newland was a dashing young man who was part of New...

Social Systems Physical Strength
2,652 wordsWater Science Luhmann's theory of autopoietic systems appears to be described as politically reactionary. It happens in the strength of fact that it negates any possibility of social change. It might be a proof though for Luhmann's theory that this very critique made him a famous and influential thinker. While Luhmann was a sociologist indeed, it appears to me that also the non-Luhmannian attempts to employ systems theory as a literary theory always boiled down to sociology. Systems theory helps...

Black E Mo Jekyll And Mr
1,974 wordsJudge a book by its cover Robert Louis Stevenson and Toni Morrison develop their main characters identities through their novels Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and The Bluest Eye in a rather skeptical way. In both cases we see stories of people that are not fully satisfied with their lives. The situation is probably even worth, they do not like the context of life that they have to face in their everyday activities. The reasons to that are probably the fact that they do not look at their appearance fro...

Without the last chapter the reader is left with a dark and pessimistic theme, that absolute good and evil exist in this world and it is possible for a man to be pure evil. Alex is conditioned and unconditioned, and in the end all indications point to a malicious life of crime. He is a clockwork orange, p...

Farewell To Arms Hemingway Hero
845 wordsHemingway's Use of Heroes in A Farewell to Arms Ernest Hemingway has the tendency to use his heroes in some unheroic ways. At first the hero may seem obvious, but later on it is discovered that the true hero is not who it seems to be. In A Farewell to Arms Hemingway uses the true hero to guide the main character into becoming a hero, but fails miserably. Hemingway characterizes his heroes as people with strength, courage, and bravery, but even heroes have their flaws. For example, Frederic Henry...
