Number of words: 1952 - Number of pages: 8.... for Brontë's use of fire imagery - fire, as is with the passions, can provide warmth and comfort, but can also burn.

Fire imagery i .....

An Analysis Of Hawthorne's Short Stories
Number of words: 801 - Number of pages: 3.... uses faith as the carrier of a flaw. That is, she does not contain
enough self-control, or faith to refuse the calling of the Devil. Even with the
emotional plea from her husband, “Look up to heaven, and resist the wicked one,”
(1590) Faith cannot resist the Devil's temptation and has “uncertain sorrow,”

is a good example of how Hawthorne uses a woman to symbolize a deeper
significance, in this case, it is to evoke the hypocrisy .....

Number of words: 488 - Number of pages: 2.... does not see past the cloud which has slowly been built up in Valle del
Sole. The cloud which prevents most people from seeing how the failure to be an
individual rules the town, and how anyone with the nerve to be unique is
ostracized. Cristina's father's failure to understand this leads to the decline
and eventually their total destruction of the family structure.
In many ways, the story of the character Cristina in the novel is similar
to the story of Saint Christina. They both endure considerable suffering for

On The Island: A Review
Number of words: 1232 - Number of pages: 5.... life
and has accepted this with quiet resignation. She still looks for signs of
affection however, but they seem few and far in between. She has virtually
no relationship with Annette whom she sees as a representative of the new,
efficient generation. While Doris does not fear progress, she fails to see
the use for many of the modern products.

expressed, as it is more of a general feeling throughout the story. As his
wife, she is constantly wagi .....
