Marlow Describes Kurtz Actions
1,830 words
Throughout his narrative in Joseph Conrad's Heart
of Darkness, Thomas Marlow characterizes events,
ideas, and locations that he encounters in terms
of light or darkness. Embedded in Marlow's
parlance is an ongoing metaphor equating light
with knowledge and civility and darkness with
mystery and savagery. When he begins his
narrative, Marlow equates light and, therefore,
civility, with reality, believing it to be a
tangible expression of man's natural state.
Similarly, Marlow uses darkness to dep...

Men Are Equal Point Of View
1,677 words
Although these three poems are written by two very
different authors, they both share a similarity in
one aspect: they both confess to how the speakers
truly look at their fathers. The first and second
poems, "Daddy" and "Happy Father's Day, " by
Patrick Middleton, confess to feelings of regret,
self-hatred, forgiveness, and a hidden love.
However, Sylvia Plath's "Daddy" expresses a morbid
hatred and disgust towards the father figure in
her poem. The confessional voice is evident in all
three, b...

Sites The brain (and, by
implication, the Mind) has been compared to the
latest technological innovation in every
generation. The computer metaphor is now in vogue.
Computer hardware metaphors were replaced by
software metaphors and, lately, by (neuronal)
network metaphors. Such attempts to understand by
comparison are common in every field of human
knowledge. Architects and mathematicians...

Give The Reader Carl Sandburg
1,475 words
In this assignment I will gracefully compare and
contrast two short poems. In my selection for the
poems, I kept in mind that the two poems needed to
have something in common metaphorically or
thematically. After many hours of browsing (or
about 30 minutes) I came upon two poems that
contained an ultimately strange connection
metaphorically and in content. Interestingly, the
two also had numerous differences. The first poem
I encountered was "The Sick Rose" (1794) written
by William Blake. Soon ...

the theme of souls and their attainment of

culture; but one of the most striking themes is
that of the veil. The veil provides a link between

Concept Of Love Celestial Bodies
1,032 words
The Perfect Love On any given day at the airport,
couples in love can be seen saying goodbye to one
another. Everyday, thousands of people are forced
to say goodbye to a loved one for a period of time
for one reason or another. People react to this
period of separation in a number of ways. Some
cry, some smile, and some do nothing. In John
Donne s poem, A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning,
the concept of love and separation is addressed.
In this poem, Donne is able to use metaphors in
order to he...

John Keats When I Have Fears As John Keats When I
Have Fears As A Representation Of His Balance Of
Creative Manifestation A Balance of Creative
Manifestation In his brilliant poem, When I Have
Fears, John Keats uses several metaphors to
explain the three principal things that he will
miss when he cease (s) to be. The third quatrain
deals with his lover, whom he fears he will not
live long enough to love completely, which
ironically was the case in his real life. In the
last two lines of the poem...

[" After great pain, a formal feeling
comes" ] is obviously an attempt to
communicate to the reader the nature of the

Reuben A. Brower There is no question here of
tones playing against a traditional form; rather,
an original rhythmic form grows out of the
dramatic setting and the initial commitment in

condition all that is said, and the speakers first
words show what form his dreamy talk will take.

Thomas R. Whitaker " Portrait of a Lady,
" which is really another paradoxical
self-portrait, amusingly renders the descending
movements of that fiber of swift attention with
which Kora in Hell was primarily concerned The
descent, of course, is not merely visual. The poem
moves, through interior dialogue, from an easy
formalized tribute toward a more disturbing
contact. The witty and sentimental style of
Watteau or of Fragonard (whose " The
Swing" does leave a slipper hanging...
