Emma: All Human Beings Are Judging
.... without being punished.
Hardy, on the other hand, was totally sympathetic with his heroine.
Tess, under his pen, was a totally tragic existence condemned by God. She
did not have the desire to break out of the repression of morality; instead,
she upheld the moral code that caused her miserable life. Only in the end
did Tess fight back and kill Alec, but she did not do it for her own
liberation but for the love of another man. Hardy implied the idea that
women were always subordinate to men. He appl .....

Beowulf And Samuel Beckett's Waiting For Godot
.... end of the idea are able to experience the feelings
that a character is experiencing in the work. For example, in order for a
reader to feel how and understand why Vladimir and Estragon feel as though
they do while they wait, it is essential for that reader to either
understand or experience the same feelings that Vladimir and Estragon are
experiencing. Vladimir and Estragon are waiting; waiting for Godot, to be
exact; and Beckett wants the reader to feel as if he or she were waiting
also. Along wi .....

A Doll's House: Role Of Women As The Comforter

important. Ibsen in his "A Doll's House" depicts the role of women as
subordinate in order to emphasize the need to reform their role in society.

relationship are emphasized through Nora's contradicting actions. Her
infatuation with luxuries such as expensive Christmas gifts contradicts her
resourcefulness in scrounging and buying cheap clothing; her defiance .....

Interpretation Of Rushdie And Kazantzakis' Stories

Upon the climatic ending of each novel, I would effortlessly
integrate the author's deluge of spiritual dynamism with my own. This
produced an ethical conflict in my mind that fought to distinguish what
prominence God had maintained in my lifetime. I could scarcely believe that
such literature would not have a profound effect on an individual who
possessed strong religious background (this assimilates the decision of the
exodus Rushdie has maintained contrary to the threats of the Isla .....

of hardships that many people faced and some still do to this day.

1960's. He was a college graduate from a small town in Minnesota. I could
not imagine graduating college and then being asked to fight in some war
that you could care less about. Tim made it through boot camp and he was
sent off to war. At one point he even thought about going AWOL. That idea
was changed as he sat in .....

Catcher In The Rye: Holden Portrayed As A Troubled Young Man
.... to go to town, he looks out of the window of his
room, opens it, and packs a snowball from the snow
on the window ledge. He begins to throw it at a parked
car, but doesn't because the car "looked so nice and
white". Then he aims at a fire hydrant, but stops again
because that also looks "too nice and white". Finally
he decides not to throw it at anything and closes the
window...What Holden sees through the window is for
him a visual embodiment of what he unconsciously
seeks: a st .....

A Report On: Laurence's The Stone Angel
.... Like Hagar, Lees has no
actual faith in religion, and says that "I kind of mislaid it and when I
went to look for it, it wasn't there". Lees' religion was the cause of his
greatest loss, when his son died in a house fire while Murray and Lou Lees
were at the Tabernacle. This loss created a permanent distrust in religion
for Murray Lees, something Hagar also has. The loss of a child reminds
Hagar of the loss of her son, John, which allows her to trust Lees' opinion
of religion. Unlike Mr. Troy, who .....

Zinn's A People's History Of The United States Of America
.... colonists whose plight was ignored by the ruling
bourgeoisie, and most importantly, the rising class and racial struggles in
America that Zinn correctly credits as being the root of many of the
problems that we as a nation have today. It is refreshing to see a book
that spends space based proportionately around the people that lived this
history. When Columbus arrived on the Island of Haiti, there were 39 men on
board his ships compared to the 250,000 Indians on Haiti. If the white race
