.... just that, when he wrote what is considered by many as the “Great American Epic”. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, “The great American epic,” may be one of the most interesting and complex books ever written in the history of our nation. This book cleverly disguises many of the American ideals in a child floating down the Mississippi River on a raft with a black slave. On the outside of the story, one can see an exciting tale of heroism and adventure; however, that is not all. The book shows Mark Twain’s idea of the classic American idealism, consisting of .....

The darkness is set to "hide" the actions of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth "Come, t .....

.... written by Charlotte Bronte, mysticism is one of the prevailing themes. One of the first occurrences of a mystical situation is when Jane gets locked up in the Red Room where her uncle had died.
