Wu Tang Clan Grand Central Station Writers
1,122 wordsCan one think of a better way to describe something, other than by comparison to another familiar, known object? This is indeed the idea behind the metaphor. Metaphors are composed of the tenor, the subject matter that is being referred to, and the vehicle, the metaphorical term itself. Many great writers have utilized metaphors to create illustrious pieces of work. The metaphor is a useful tool in description and evoking a certain tone that the author wishes to create. Metaphors can be subtle o...

Importance Of Being Earnest Oscar Wilde
772 wordsIn todays world we are all exposed to comedy. We see comedy in a variety of ways. These ways include: movies, plays, situational comedies on television, and stand up comedians. However, there is something very different about the typical comedy today compared to the play The Importance of Being Earnest written by Oscar Wilde. The modern comedy usually uses characters that are funny or actors that are known to be great comedians. What I mean by this is that the characters are not usually serious ...

Marlow Describes Kurtz Actions
1,830 wordsThroughout his narrative in Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, Thomas Marlow characterizes events, ideas, and locations that he encounters in terms of light or darkness. Embedded in Marlow's parlance is an ongoing metaphor equating light with knowledge and civility and darkness with mystery and savagery. When he begins his narrative, Marlow equates light and, therefore, civility, with reality, believing it to be a tangible expression of man's natural state. Similarly, Marlow uses darkness to dep...

Men Are Equal Point Of View
1,677 wordsAlthough these three poems are written by two very different authors, they both share a similarity in one aspect: they both confess to how the speakers truly look at their fathers. The first and second poems, "Daddy" and "Happy Father's Day, " by Patrick Middleton, confess to feelings of regret, self-hatred, forgiveness, and a hidden love.

Context Of The Story Good Hands
554 wordsThe Epilogue of the Tempest by William Shakespeare is an excellent-if not the best-example of Shakespeare's brilliance. In 20 lines Shakespeare is able to write an excellent ending to his play, while speaking through his characters about Shakespeare's own life and career. Even more amazingly, he seamlessly ties the two together. In the context of the story Prospero's monologue makes perfect sense. He has lost his magical power, so his "charms are o'er thrown, and what strength [Prospero] have's ...

Amp Quot Iambic Pentameter
1,588 wordsIn order for a poem to be classified as a sonnet, it must meet certain structural requirements, and Sonnet 138, & quot; When my love swears that she is made of truth, & quot; is a perfect example. Shakespeare employs the traditional rhyme scheme of the English sonnet, the poem is made up of three quatrains and a rhyming couplet, and iambic pentameter is the predominant meter. However, it would be an error to approach this poem as a traditional Shakespearean love sonnet. It is a 'love' po...

Importance Of Being Earnest End Of The Play
1,797 wordsSatire in The Importance of Being Earnest After reading The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde, one would possibly realize that this piece of writing is a conservative 19 th century farce. Prohibited engagements, false identities, domineering mothers, and lost children are typical features of almost every farce. However, this is only on the surface in this play. Wilde's parody always works at two levels. On the one hand, the writer ridicules the behaviors of the high society while on the...

Chelsea House Publishers T S Eliot
541 wordsOver the past several centuries the tragedy of Hamlet has divided both critics and readers alike. T. S. Eliot deemed it an artistic failure, while Sir Laurence Olivier called it pound for pound, the greatest play ever written. Perhaps T. S. Eliot was caught in the tunnel of his own criticism and failed to see the larger picture. Through Shakespeare's brilliant use of language, characterization, and Hamlets soliloquies, Hamlet has stood as a literary masterpiece for almost four hundred years. Alt...

At other times, when he is bound to act, he remains puzzled, undecided, and skeptical. He dallies with his purposes, until the occasion is lost. Hamlets first scene with his mother reveals ...
