The Romantically Impaired Pruf
.... three major themes. The first of these is the time theme. Drenched with anxiety, Prufrock says: "And indeed there will be time." Prufrock uses time as an excuse to remain comfortable in his undisturbed universe. By opening the fourth stanza with: "And indeed there will be time," Eliot echoes the memorable line: "Had we but world enough and time' from Andrew Marvell's seductive poem, "To His Coy Mistress." Ironically, Prufrock does not feel compelled to seize the day(Pagnattaro 108). Prufrock re .....

The Scarlet Letter 2
.... interfering (Hester: “Why hast thou not avenged thyself on me?” “I have left thee to the scarlet letter”replied Roger Chillingworth.). But for Dimmesdale he had a whole different plan. He came back to town as a different person with a different name. Now he was Roger Chillingworth (We don’t know his name before the first scaffold incident), a well-appreciated and educated physician. He came to help Dimmesdale, who was very sick. He became his close physician and they became v .....

.... prison and pleaded for her not to reveal the fact he was her husband. He’d be ashamed to marry a disgrace people looked down on. However, he too should have been ashamed. He also committed sins. The first was marrying Hester. Although she had no desire to become hitched to him, he ignored that fact. The love was unrequited. The other sin was when he judged Reverend Dimmesdale and spent hours scheming up plots to make him lose his sanity, while he pretended to be his loyal friend.

The Scarlet Letter Theme Symbo
.... so many meanings throughout the book? The answer is that each time there was an event occurring at the scaffold, each of the main characters was present. The place that Hawthorne chose to unite the characters and hoard symbolic meaning was the scaffold. In the second chapter, entitled “The Market-Place,” the reader is first introduced to Hester Prynne as she serves her punishment on the scaffold with her child, Pearl, in her arms. A careful survey of this scene reveals her minister Dimmesda .....

He is not cured from his guilt until he and Hester agree to leave the colony and return to England. “The excitement of Mr. Dimmesdale’s feelings, as he returned for his interview with Hester, lent him unaccustomed physical energy, and hurried him town ward at a rapid pace.” (p. 197) After this ‘interview’, he becomes stronger and more energetic. His energy is comparable to the energy he had when he .....

storming into tears and weeping in her sister’s arms. She
felt no horror or shock, just grief that this person, this
“friend”, had passed away. “She did not hear the story as
many women have heard the same, with a paralyzed inability
to accept its significance. She wept at once, with sudden
wild abandonment, in her sister’s arms.”(12) The irony had
finally creeped through into her life, her inexplicable and

The Study Of Imagery In Adrian

in the end of the description, he reveals her actual age – 47 – which is rather ironic for such an appearance. Last and the most obvious, Adrian’s Russia Trip turns out to be ironic:
“Saturday, August 17th: There is no cruise ship. There are no passengers. Each member of our party is paddling their own canoe. I am crouched inside a two-man tent. Outside are swarms of huge, black mosquitoes. They are waiting for me to emerge. With a bit of luck, I will die in my sleep.& .....
