Music Rock People
562 wordsRock has been blamed for many things in society such as rape, murder, and suicide. It's human nature to both need a reason for why something happens, and to pass the blame to someone and / or something else. In 1690 's Salem, witches were blamed for all misfortune and innocents were hung. In 1930 's and 1940 's Germany, the Jewish faction of society was blamed for all that was wrong, and put to death. Now in the 1990 's and 2000 music is blamed, will it have the same fate? Music has noconscioune...

Methods Of Thinking Children Of The Irish British
1,448 wordsSwift's "A Modest Proposal", in which he suggests that the problem of Irish poverty can be solved by the sale of the children of the poor for consumption, is above all things a criticism of human faults: extremism of thinking, greed, pride, hypocrisy, intolerance, and insensitivity. His use of iron is evident even in the title: the idea that not only should poor Irish children be eaten, but that they should be bred for eating is certainly anything but modest. Swift's plan is that through irony, ...

Fathers Murder Moral Character
884 wordsIn the drama Hamlet, ideas have been formed to explain Hamlets inability to avenge his fathers murder. Such premises are that Hamlet is pretending to be emotionally disturbed and is secretly plotting to carry out his revenge and that Hamlet is so corrupted by grief that he is really insane and incapable of action. There are many instances that support the idea that Hamlet is pretending to be crazy in the play. The plot begins when Hamlets fathers ghost appears and charges him to avenge his murde...

Kill And Eat Animal Nature
1,171 wordsA Mirror Has Two Faces: Connecting with Our Animal Nature in I remember watching nature shows on television and seeing natural predation. There on the screen lions stalk, chase, kill, and eat their prey. A true vision of animal nature. Humans are also animals, therefore, possessing animal nature. This animal nature can be witnessed every fall as thousands of hunters across the United States forge into the woods to stalk, kill, and eat their prey. Most hunters even display the heads of their prey...

Oedipus Rex By Sophocles Robert Fitzgerald
1,143 wordsOedipus Rex, by Sophocles, (as translated by Dudley Fitts and Robert Fitzgerald), is replete with dramatic devices - one of which is known as Sophoclean Irony. Sophoclean Irony can be divided into two terms: unconscious and conscious irony. Unconscious irony occurs when a character speaks what he believes is the truth, but the audience (fore-armed with knowledge of the truth) knows that it is not. Conscious irony is evident when a character knows the truth but is reluctant to reveal it: thus, he...

Instances Of Parallelism In King Lear
1,216 wordsMany twists and turns characterize the television soap operas of today. Subplots are a distinctive trait of these daylight dramas, for they keep audience on the edge of their seats. Subplots keep the material fresh and the audience wanting more. Shakespeare uses secondary plots as a literary device to greatly dramatize the action of the play and to spark a contrast to his underlying themes in King Lear. The secondary plots can incalculably improve the effect of dramatic irony and suspense. The e...

Tom Couldn't Stand Demaine Oil Man People
969 wordsOut of the five main characters in the Great Gatsby, I disliked Tom Buchanan the most (however his wife Daisy was a close second). He just didn't seem like he was a nice person, and he also seemed extremely self-absorbed. I don't believe that he and I would choose the same values that we would consider important in guiding our lives. One of Tom's important values is wealth. He was very rich and thought that it made him superior to other people. He enjoys showing off his possessions, " I've got a...

The Scarlet Letter By Hawthorne
987 wordsThe Scarlet Letter by Hawthorne Nathaniel Hawthorne addresses the question of national morality in his work The Scarlet Letter. Through a careful examination of the central characters of the work and an understanding of the underlying ideas of Hawthorne, a view on national morality emerges. Hawthorne criticizes the fundamentalist Puritan characters, particularly Dimmesdale, by showing their hypocrisy and displaying the failures of Puritans and their form of a national morality. The treatment of ...

Meursault Has A Passion Passion For The Truth Life
1,066 wordsMeursault is a man who will not lie to himself. In Albert Camus The Stranger, his actions and reactions display him as an immoral man, expressing apathy towards society. He will not feign emotion, nor use religion as a vehicle to give his life meaning. Meursault has a passion for the truth, which allows him to have an open mind. These things make Meursault the immoral person that he is. At his trial for murdering an Arab, Meursault's inability to relate to the conventions of society puts him at ...

Both works are satirical in temper, and take a rather grim look at the human condition exists, as well as the attributes that compose it. Neither author is pr...

Support The Death Penalty Capitol Punishment
1,433 wordsIt is a time of mourning for the United States. They are now being compared with the countries they, themselves, condemn. The death penalty is cruel and unusual because it breaks sacred amendments and commandments. The death penalty should no longer be an option. According to many people, we have progressed since the barbaric stone-age, (Alexander 1) yet our Judicial system does not seem to show it. Murdering someone is a barbaric act, whether it is by an individual, society, or our government. ...

Gregor Traveling Salesman
1,598 wordsFranz Kafka was different, a man bent on portraying changes everywhere. Kafka was also a man consumed by death, consumed by the fact that he might eventually die. One man who was greatly affected by his fathers negligence of him, and a social deviance about him which held him back from interaction. Such a man was so afraid about what society thought of his writing, that he never widely published his works, and even asked a friend to burn all manuscripts. Not only was Kafka Jewish, he resented th...

He realizes that by escaping his earthly body through death he will still remain in the prison of painful thoughts. Hamlet, the thinker, cannot escape his conscious self and in that realization decides, to be. The foundation of his choice is solipsistic in nature.

Marlow And Kurtz Integral Part
547 wordsThough Conrad did not learn English until he was twenty-one, he still mastered the language and artfully uses it in Heart of Darkness. One sentence of his is particularly striking, as it sums up the views that he condemns throughout the novella. The accountant, one of the first imperialists Marlow meets, says to him, ? When one has got to make correct entries, one comes to hate these savages? hate them to the death. ? This sentence is a perfect example of the typical imperialistic belief that Ma...

Catcher In The Rye Holden Caulfield
1,147 wordsJ. D. Salingers The Catcher in the Rye provides a provocative inquiry into the crude life of a depressed adolescent, Holden Caulfield. Without intensive analysis and study, Holden appears to be a clearly heterosexual, vulgar yet virtuous, typical youth who chastises phoniness and decries adult evils. However, this is a fallacy. The finest manner to judge and analyze Holden is by his statements and actions, which can be irrefutably presented. Holden Caulfield condemns adult corruption and phonine...

Lear And Gloucester Regan And Goneril
1,083 wordsIn King Lear, Shakespeare has greatly utilized secondary plots and its parallelism to the main plot. The effective usage of subplots in King Lear, as a form of parallelism, clearly emphasizes the flaws and strengths of prominent characters. Using such literary device permits the audience to understand the emotions of the essential characters in the play. Specifically, the parallel between Lear and Gloucester displayed in the play is evidently intentional. Both men initially commit wrong acts by ...

Reality seems valueless by comparison with the dreams of fevered imaginations; reality is therefor abandoned.
