Artist As A Young Man Portrait Of The Artist
1,063 wordsDantes The Hermaphroditic Joyce One of the most powerful nuances of any writing is the dialogue within the story. In literature, it is all too often that characters live only in the jaded voice of the author and never truly develop as their own, or are not strongly opinionated in a manner which contrasts the opinions of the writer. It is also unfortunately true that the women depicted in most male-authored literature do not often sound realistic, or how most women one would speak to in the cours...

Waiting For Godot Vladimir And Estragon
342 words1. God One of the main themes that is displayed throughout Waiting For Godot is the idea that life on earth is more or less a long and confusing wait for God. This theme magnifies the idea that the infamous Godot is actually God and that the play is built upon a structure of Christian morals. With this in mind, it is easy to see how Beckett incorporates questions that are often raised by struggling Christians. One inquiry that is risen is simply, does God exist? Beckett displays this doubt throu...
