Sense Of This Word Jane Eyre
1,362 wordsMaking or Breaking Community (1) Elizabeth Gaskell's novel Mary Barton can hardly be referred to as the exceptional literary masterpiece. Nevertheless, from a certain point of view, the value of her novel is higher than the value of other books, written about the same time by different authors. This is because, in her novel, Gaskell creates a very realistic image of Victorian society, often at the expense of over complicating the plot. In order for Mary Barton to be read as rather documentary th...

J Alfred Prufrock Lack Of Courage Gay
795 wordsIs J. Alfred Prufrock Gay? When we read T. S. Eliot's The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock you almost get the feeling that Prufrock is gay. In fact, when the story is read a bit more in depth you can conclude that he is gay. The first flag that is raised to our attention of prufrock being gay is the fact that not once do we hear the name of his so called lover or even him calling her a lady.
