T.S. Elliot - The Hollow Men
Number of words: 949 - Number of pages: 4

.... is emphasized by the repetition of the word "dry" in the first stanza, where we read of "dried voices," "dry grass" and "dry cellar." When he mentions the sound of "rats feet over broken glass" he succinctly and subtly prods at our anxieties about urban disease and decay, showing us a sort of fleeting snapshot, almost subliminally planted, and raising in us an instantaneous reaction of revulsion. Eliot then mentions the dead, calling them "Those who have crossed...to death's other kingdom." These people are made real by Eliot's repeated mention of their eyes. He refers to them first as maki .....

Jane Eyre Self-awarness
Number of words: 2053 - Number of pages: 8

.... make for herself in books, ballads, and dolls. The recurring theme of self-awareness I saw in Jane Eyre started from the first time Jane saw herself in the mirror which consequentially gave her a fresh awareness of her own identity. When John "throws the book" at Jane Charlotte Bronte's attempt was to both literally and metaphorically symbolize the deprivation he was instigating of any sense of herself and her rights. According to Jacques Lacan, the first identity of oneself in a mirror is the most decisive stage in human development. It provides the "awareness of oneself as an object of .....

.... that it has no intention of being. This is something of a common occurrence, and it is unfortunate how many young dreams are smashed by parents who want "only the best" for their children. Not every child is destined for fame and fortune. Many may simply wish to lead a happy, mundane life much like Laura. Amanda fails to realize that she is putting Laura through hell with her gentlemen callers and her nagging about the typing class that Laura did not want to attend in the first place. Amanda wants Laura to want what she herself wanted, and although parents raise their children and in t .....

Othello - Compared To Twelfth Night
Number of words: 802 - Number of pages: 3

.... is overcome by jealousy, the "green eyed monster." "O, beware, my lord, of jealousy; it is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on…" (Othello, III.iii 169-171) In his rage, Othello charges Iago with the killing of Cassio, his lieutenant who supposedly slept with his wife. Othello then plans to kill Desdemona. Even during the course of the killing, Othello maintains his love for Desdemona (although this might seem a contradiction.) He refuses to defile her body in any way. "Yet I'll not shed her blood; nor scar that whiter skin of h .....

Androcentricty In Things Fall
Number of words: 880 - Number of pages: 4

.... his tribe showed that in Ibo society, anything strong was related to man, and anything weak was related to woman. As a child, Okonkwo was teased by other kids when they called his father "Agbala". "Agbala" is a Ibo word used in reference to a man who had taken no title or simply "woman". Unoka, Okonkwo’s father, was the exact epitome of failure and weakness to Okonkwo. Because of this "Okonkwo was ruled by one passion- to hate anything his father had loved. One of those things was gentleness and another was idleness"(13). Okonkwo’s son, Nwoye, reminded him of his father, and he descri .....

Secular Ethics
Number of words: 368 - Number of pages: 2

.... ethics is very important for college students, because as each student begins his or her freshman year he or she has to start making many decisions based on secular ethics. Each person must choose between bad ethical decisions such as partying all the time, drinking, cheating, missing classes, and not doing homework or studying; and more desirable ethical decisions such as choosing not to drink, getting things done on time, and never giving up. The most important thing about secular ethics is that it is something that everyone can relate to. There are many types of religions, governm .....

Analysis Of Gimple The Fool
Number of words: 1042 - Number of pages: 4

.... served the purpose of bread maker and as in all societies he served also as the scapegoat. Gimpel could have been an integral part of his society but instead he was untrue to himself and he was lost. The townspeople treated Gimpel much like the court jesters of the renaissance period, turning the baker into the village harlequin. Although the target of many pranks and antics, they were not directed at him for intentional harm. He was the target though due to his accessibility and convenience. Instead of seeking Gimpel out for his talents as the baker, Gimpel’s neighbors sought hi .....

Macbeth Blood Will Have Blood
Number of words: 726 - Number of pages: 3

.... first image Macbeth sees is right before he kills Duncan. This image is not really there, yet it makes Macbeth worried. A second later, “and on thy blade and dudgeon gouts of blood /Which was not so before. (II,i, 46-47), there was blood on that imaginary dagger. Macbeth probably appeared very serious and very worried at this time. A dark and lonely setting helped to make Macbeth’s fears even greater. This vision was the first of many that eventually drove Macbeth’s heart to be cold and his mind to grow crazy. After the murder is committed Macbeth tries to clean himse .....

.... developing. It was probable that during his studies at the university he was aquatinted with the popular philosophies of two German thinkers of the time. One of these philosophers is George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, who had formulated a conception of an exceptional individual he called a “superman”. Hegel’s superman exists for good purposes. He stands above and beyond the ordinary man and works for the good of all men. The most controversial part of this superman theory that Raskolnikov obviously adopts is the Machiavellian belief that the end justifies the mean. This means that .....

A Separate Peace 5
Number of words: 738 - Number of pages: 3

.... not feel any “rush of gratitude toward Phineas,” because he does not like feeling clumsier than Finny. Instead, he blames his presence in the tree on Phineas. Finny also has the role of being the leader in their friendship. They sustain the balance of the friendship when Phineas thinks of something to do, and Gene supports him. The problem with this is that Gene only trails Finny so that he would not “lose face with [him].” Gene never speaks up when he has a problem, hereby damaging their lines of communication. Another principal factor that dissolves the bond bet .....
