The Influence Of Realism In Tolstoy's The Death Of Ivan Ilyich
.... became Tolstoy's target for illusion
of reality. When they went to Ivan's funeral, they thought that they “
should” or “have to” go and comfort the widow. Their real reasoning behind
everything was to see who would take Ivan's position at work. Another
example of illusion of reality is when Ivan is lying down in excruciating
pain and his wife, daughter, and son-in-law enter. Ivan sits and watches
as they ignore the pain he is enduring to argue about something as petty as
opera glasses. This seemed .....

The Effects Of Setting On Character In "The Masque Of Red Death" And "The Shawl"
.... She had nowhere to hide
as Prospero did. Yet in the end Prospero had to face death while Stella
did not, even though she was in the camp. The attitudes of the two
characters and the setting probably are what kept them alive.
In comparison of the way the setting affected character, we see
they were quite alike also. Prospero's morbid lifestyle was quite unusual.
His room of black with scarlet panes of glass, his ebony clock with a low
dull monotonous chime and the bizarre masquerade party all show .....

lies in material wealth, and in the comfort and security associated with it.
Daisy seems to be easily impressed by material success, as when she is
touring Gatsby's mansion and seems deeply moved by his collection of fine,
tailored shirts. It would seem that Tom's relative wealth, also, had at one
time impressed her enough to win her in marriage. In contrast to that,
Gatsby seems to not care a bit about money itself, but rather only about
the possibility that it can win over Daisy. In fact, Gatsby's .....

Gray's "The Epitaph": An Analysis
.... which is symbolic of how people are being treated as a whole and
the hollowness and shallowness of people in the world. Now the person is
dead, there is no other help that you could give him. "Large was his
bounty, and his soul sincere" was how the man lived, and although his soul
was a true one, he was still a marked man, and now he is only marked with a
stone that protrudes from the ground known as The Epitaph.
God is a part of life which gray dispises. He goes against the
idea of a belief in o .....

a guiding thread to his literary art. That he is not persistently a
symbolist is one of his strengths, for it means that he only turns to
symbolism when it has a distinct role to play. His symbolism generally
takes the form of allowing some obj .....

The Squire's Tale: Franklin

structure and tone of the passage does not seem to be that of an
interruption.
In praising the Squire, the Franklin mentions how he is impressed
with his "gentilly" (674) or "gentillesse" (694). If we are to believe
what the Franklin is saying, that he admires his gentillesse and that he

assume the Franklin would try and also show gentillesse. In fact, from the
General Prologue we kno .....

boring sub-plot of a man's extreme love for a woman and the catastrophic
