Hell And Enslavement In No Exit
1,081 words
Hell and Enslavement. In Sartre's No Exit Sartre,
the most famous of the existentialist thinkers,
wrote No Exit in 1944. It was first performed in
Paris during the Nazi occupation. Sartre was a POW
during the occupation, but escaped punishment from
the Nazis. There is obviously an overall question
pertaining to the play in terms of its relation to
the historical period and the atrocities that were
taking place in France and all of Europe. Sartre
obviously knew of the racist ideology and actions

Bruce Dawe Apology For Impatience
683 words
Apology for Impatience for Gloria. On first
reading, this poem seems quite incomprehensible.
Out of context, the poem appears to be about love
and relationships. Apology for Impatience was
written in 1963 (wife dead? ) and it was written
for Gloria, his wife. Dawe rarely uses a first
person persona and it is through his use of the
first person persona and the fact that it was
written for his wife, that leads me to believe
that Dawe was not just making a comment on love,
but on his love for Glori...

Hamlet A Universal Man
1,023 words
The tragedy and situation in the play Hamlet has
been commented on as universal. Audiences of many
different cultures can enjoy Hamlet even though it
is set in an alien culture to them. The reasons
for this are that many people can relate to the
play, they feel that they are living though a
profound experience, even if nothing in the plot
of Hamlet has ever happened to them. The
experience of Hamlet is not restricted to the plot
and its characters. A large factor in this
universal acceptance is ...

The Great Gatsby Movie Review
724 words
The 1974 adaptation of the critically acclaimed
novel the Great Gatsby is directed by Jack Clayton
and screenwriter by Francis Ford Coppola, with
Robert and Mia Farrow as leads. The two actors
give excellent performances, and certainly portray
the beautiful people they are made out to be in
the book. One scene in particular that reflected
that Redford was was chosen for this part was when
the Nick and Gatsby are in suits and Nick is
perspiring in is utterly unsuitable manner of

The Crucible And Birthmark Human Failures
531 words
John Steinbeck once said that It was the
responsibility of the writer to expose our many
grievous faults and failures and to hold up to the
light our dark and dangerous dreams, for the
purpose of improvement. In other words when an
author writes a story it is there mission to write
it in such a way that it demonstrates mans
pitfalls so that upon reflection of the work the
reader will be able to better himself through the
reading of the story. Arthur Millers The Crucible

Pope And Fielding Ridiculous And Funny Story
869 words
The effectiveness of the treatment of burlesques
can be seen through two stories namely Henry
Fieldings Joseph Andrews and Alexander Popes The
Rape of Lock. These novels are two fine examples
of incongruous imitation, the form that imitates
the manner (form and style) and subject matter of
a serious work. The serious work for Fielding was
Samuel Richardson's novel Shame and the Greek
epics (homer, Virgil) for Pope. Fielding and Popes
books are from the same school that being satire,
but although...

Eighty Seven Twenty Dollars
1,036 words
One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all.
And sixty cents of it was in pennies. Pennies
saved one and two at a time by bulldozing the
grocer and the vegetable man and the butcher until
one's cheeks burned with the silent imputation of
parsimony that such close dealing implied. Three
times Della counted it. One dollar and eighty-
seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas.
There was clearly nothing to do but flop down on
the shabby little couch and howl. So Della did it.

... displays his understanding of social economic
classes through Winston. In Nineteen Eighty-Four,
Winston often takes long walks among the Prole
section, finding comfort in their masses. Visiting
the Chestnut Tree Cafe, Winston takes advantage of
the absence of a tele screen which is normally
present everywhere, monitoring every move, to
speak to an old man about the past. Winston loves
the objects of the Proles, and when he finds a
glass ornament with a piece of coral inside an
antique shop, ...

Comparing Stunt Pilot By Dillard And Spring Ehrlich
644 words
The Stunt Pilot by Annie Dillard and Spring by
Gretel Ehrlich are two very different essays and I
enjoyed one and not the other. The Stunt Pilot was
much more engaging and you felt as if you got into
the story. Spring was sporadic and I felt as if
the essay kept jumping from one thought to the
next. Throughout these two essays, the reflection
was a lot the same but the tone and voice were
very different from one another. Annie Dillard's
essay was a great look into the stunt pilots
world. Her ton...

Imagery In Reinventing America
797 words
Over the years poets have emerged with different
styles, striking every reader some how. Born in
Detroit, Michigan in 1928, Philip Levine has
molded his image as a tough working-class poet who
writes upon past experiences and the feelings
provoked. His own family problems and other
problems, such as the war in Vietnam, helped
Levine develop his poetry. To say the least he
took bad luck and made it inspiration (Gioia,
npn). The crummy jobs that young Levine
agonizingly endured would have seemed n...

Spider Woman Human Community

It is often said that a great work of art is like
a dream, full of colours, greatness and splendour.
The playful authors of Kiss of the Spider woman
and Double Hook dont escape that definition,
providing theirs readers with a writing that
perpetually dance on the boundaries of fantasy,
oscillating between realism, fairy- tale and
dream. The resort to history and particularly to
myth is a prerequisite for the entrance in this
imaginary realm. In the two fictions, the mythical
element w more used ...

A Doll s House The play A Doll s House, written by
Henrik Ibsen, was written during a time period
where society thought it was ok to oppress women
and treat them like property. In the play, the
main story deals with a stereotypical middle class
household and the values inside which relate
directly to the values of the society during the
time period. Nora, the main character in the
story, is anticipating her husband getting a high
