Smerdyakov
Number of words: 1765 - Number of pages: 7.... neglected his fatherly duties to his other three sons, to this fourth, he rejects them completely. He finds the controversy around the mystery of the boy's conception amusing. He employs his own son as one of his servants, as his "lackey." Although incredible attention to detail is paid to the story of Lizaveta, Dostoevsky waits to speak of the boy himself. It is as if the author is all ready separating this last son. Dostoevsky claims to not want to go into detail about so as not to distract the reader from the story. However, it is an intention set-up on the part of the author.

Lord Of The Dead
Number of words: 2432 - Number of pages: 9.... politics, it is only in a very specific sense, assuming a reified identity that is decided for women, by men, who “with their foot on women’s throats” do not allow them to speak for themselves. MacKinnon also has a crude, instrumental conception of power, especially in her view of the state as monolithic and fundamentally insensitive to women’s concerns (as she says, “the state is male”3). As a result, her view of politics is strategic and somewhat opportunistic: she appears willing to forge single-issue coalitions with any group to advance her cause, as she has with right- .....

Edna Pontellier S Character In

For example she states how Robert's encouragement while she is painting is very innocent in the beginning but eventually lead's to the awakening of her passions of her body and her falling in love with Robert. The fact that Edna falls for Robert goes against those societal roles which where followed by some many women of the 1800's. Robert plays a big role in Edna's self-development through artistry and love by being a huge source of imaginative power. Stone then goes on making references to .....

Othello 9
Number of words: 1385 - Number of pages: 6.... here is quite astounding. The nature of Othello's character is of a dark man. A dark man, not only because he is black, but also because his whole person is very mysterious. He is mysterious in that he believes there is magic brewing everywhere. With this dark side he is also very outgoing, and not very bright. It is almost too easy for Iago to trick him into believing that Desdemona is unfaithful. Though he doesn't reflect too much on his past, it is apparent that he has been very successful in many battles and earned the rank of general. The fact that he is supposed to be a expe .....

Something That Has Changed Your Life
Number of words: 633 - Number of pages: 3.... I guessed she was right, but I kept asking myself why was it that I was like this. I kept thinking about it, but I gave up, probably because I did not want to worry myself about the subject.
Not until a while later, did the subject jump back into my head. Another friend of mine, was making plans with me over the phone to go hang out, but she kept asking me if what we were planning to do, is really what I wanted to do. I kept reassuring her that our plans were fine, but she said she did not believe me because of the tone of my voice. I thought it strange that she would say that, but .....
