Birds Of Prey Slave Revolt
1,044 words
The character of Smerdyakov in Dostoevsky's
Brothers Karamazov appears to me to epitomize
Nietzsche's idea of the slave revolt. With a
closer look at the book we see that Smerdyakov

that he comes out ahead. Much like Nietzsche's
slave revolt, where there is an inversion of
power, and the weakling comes ou...

Cigarette Smoke Sonny Blues

James Baldwins story of redemption and musical
epiphany is filled with gritty realism and

barriers and depravity. The specific act of
smoking not only provides substance to a number of
characters within the story, but also symbolizes
