War Making I would like to start the essay with
the words of Chris Hedges, the author of "War is a
Force that Gives us Meaning. " War is Zen. I mean,
it's a pretty powerful moment. I mean, even colors
are brighter, and you are just thrown in a way
that, you know, would be hard to replicate
completely into the present. I mean, maybe a great
athlete feels that. But war has a way of focusing
you, focusing your mind. (Hedges, 1992). Hedges is
a past war reporter, and he approaches his theme

Cross Country Fantasy World

Nabokov's Lolita, Humbert's obsession Early
reflections on Lolita conducted both by its
admirers and detractors constituted the perfect
mixture for revolutionary novel with praise for
Nabokov's literary achievement and condemnation
for its highbrow pornography. From the critical
point of view, due to its immediate and continuous
controversy, the majority of audience has
encountered the novel with some preconception
about its obscene content. Employing an image of
his narrator, Nabokov introduced...

Form Of Revenge Roger Chillingworth Movie
1,014 words
Sin or Saint The Scarlet Letter is a highly sexual
movie remake of Nathaniel Hawthorne's classic
novel. Starring Demi Moore as Hester Prynne, Gary
Oldman as Arthur Dimmesdale and Robert Duvall as
Roger Chillingworth. The movie is in a league of
its own and thats not really a compliment.
Literary purists should be aghast at some of the
liberties taken with the original text, but the
complaints have more to do with cinematic
misjudgments and drastic change in plot than those
in the book-to-screen ...

Importance Of Being Earnest Oscar Wilde
870 words
Love is perhaps the most actively sought moral
objective of ones life. And though marriage is
often thought to be the logical consequence of
love, it is Oscar Wilde's contention in his
satire, The Importance of Being Earnest, that love
begets bliss and marriage thwarts this course of
bliss. Algernon Moncrieff spends very little time
falling in love and the rest of the time striving
toward engagement. Wilde demonstrates through him
that once one becomes intent upon achieving a
goal, the individua...

Act Ii Sc Hamlet Is Mad
1,981 words
Is Hamlet Mad? Perhaps the worlds most famous
mental patient, Hamlets sanity has been argued
over by countless learned scholars for hundreds of
years. As a mere student of advanced-level English
Literature, I doubt I can add anything new to the
debate in 2000 words, but I can look at the
evidence supporting or dispelling each argument
and come to my own conclusion. Hamlet is obviously
experiencing grief and despair right from the
beginning of the novel, with the death of his
father and his uncle...

situations every day. As late nineteenth century
playwrights point out the flaws of mankind they
also provide an answer to the controversy.
Unknowingly the hero or heroine solves the problem
at the end of the play and indirectly sends a

Part Of The Poem Second Part

Christabel by Samuel Taylor Coleridge is a poem
that precious itself of being ambiguous. This is
because, apparently, its author had conceived it
as a larger poem and said to have the complete
plot in mind. However at some point he gave up his
idea of writing it complete and published the
first two parts. The highlights of these two parts
is what I pretend to comment on inthe following
text. The thing that called my attention the most
about the poem is its vivid, if somewhat dark,
imagery. At th...
