JOHN UPDIKE'S A & P AND JAMES JOYCE'S ARABY John
Updike's A & P and James Joyce's Araby share many
of the same literary traits. The primary focus of
the two stories revolves around a young man who is
compelled to decipher the different between cruel
reality and the fantasies of romance that play in
his head. That the man does, indeed, discover the
difference is what sets him off into emotional
collapse. One of the main similarities between the
two stories is the fact that the main character,

Roman Polanski Unanswered Questions
1,141 words
The last moments of a production are important
because they can greatly alter the audiences'
interpretation of the entire play. This is
especially true in William Shakespeare's Macbeth.
A number of unanswered questions such as whom is
responsible for Macbeth's fate and whether peace
is restored to the kingdom, gather at the end of
the play Macbeth. In each of the different
productions, directors Orson Wells, Roman
Polanski, and Trevor Nunn allude to these answers.
Shakespeare's play ends with Ma...

H G Wells Time Traveller

... disposition. The only way the Time Traveller
changed throughout the story was in his knowledge
of the future of mankind. This knowledge, I
believe, made him more prepared and confident in
his own time and place. However, he needed not be
confident, for in the end, he didnt stay in his
own place for long. Though the Time Traveller was
the main character in the story, the narrator was
probably the most important. He was one of the men
at every dinner, so his insights into the story
were very a...

The Time Machine Compared To Nineteen Eighty Four

The Time Machine by H. G. Wells and Nineteen
Eighty Four are two excellent science-fiction

century, The Time Machine explores the Fourth

Harold Bloom Shakespeare Plays
2,608 words
The speculation about the authorship of
Shakespeare's plays has been going forward for
nearly 200 years, and many academic theorists say
that it does not matter who supplies the texts to
the laboratories of critical deconstruction.
Harold Bloom, by all odds the most appreciative of
our Shakespearean scholars, suggests that too full
a knowledge of the playwrights life might cast a
pall on the prodigy of his genius. It is enough
that the plays exist, spells of light or falls of
gentle rain, and, b...

especially in the United States, enjoying certain
respectability even in some academic circles.
Wells and Taylor were largely argued upon their
trial to give a clear answer to the question
ahead. So, if not Shakespeare of Stratford, then
who? Probably the strongest candidate is Edward de
Vere, 17 th Earl of Oxford (1550 - 1604), whose
biography as the putative author of Shakespeare's
plays appears almost too good to be true.

Hamlet s Insanity is it real? In William

shady towards the middle to the end of the play
while talking to others. In several scenes it

Genetic Engineers Nineteenth Century

Everywhere in popular culture today, one finds
deep-rooted anxieties about science, technology,
and the fate of the human species. Thus, in recent
films such as The Fly, Jurassic Park, Species,
Godzilla, and Deep Blue Sea, as well as in shows
such as Prey and, of course, The X-Files, the
focus is on biological mutations, experiments gone
awry, and the creation of monstrosities. Such
media texts are responding, in part, to chemically
saturated, increasingly synthetic, ozone thinning,

Louisa May Alcott York Henry Holt

Louisa May Alcott and Little Women The morality of
the 19 th century Victorian Era is renown in
modern times as a standard, from which the society
of today has deferred from in as many ways as
conceivably possible. Yet there were those at that
time whom thought even then that the moral
integrity of youthful society was degrading at a
vicious speed. So when a novel filled with
didactic tones, professing the assets of domestic
ism along with feminism, appeared in 1868, parents
were clamoring to bu...

Dead Sea Time Machine

exception. In view of this, there is a great deal
which can be concluded from the respective ways in
which the tale is presented. Wells prefaced his
romance by a sketch in the old PALL-MALL GAZETTE,
entitled The Man of the Year Million, a priori
study that made one thankful for ones prematurity.
After that piece of logic, however, he tried

of elaborate puns and allusions that all reinforce
the central idea that the old (black) god Ra is
about to reclaim his throne and his power over
men. In addition, Reeds marriage of " popular
