Contrasting Marlow And Kurtz And The Theme Of Evil In "Heart Of Darkness"
.... ultimate evil, into his inner self,
can be a positive experience. By contrasting Marlow with Kurtz, who represents
the absolute evil, we can see the two products of an inner evil which has
emerged. Marlow, who defeats his evil, and gains self-knowledge, and Kurtz, who
is defeated by his darkness and falls prey to its wrath. In William Golding's
Lord of the Flies the author points out how easily people can be over taken by
the darkness, how the potential for good can be destroyed by the evil, but
ideal .....

Comparison Of Kafka's "Metamorphosis" And Dali's "The Metamorphosis Of Narcissus"
.... which was named after him was. The
left side of this painting shows the kneeling Narcissus, outlined by the craggy
rocks of what could only be Cape Creus's. On the right side of the painting, the
scene has morphed into a more idyllic and classical scene, in which the
kneeling Narcissus has become the statue of a hand, holding a cracked egg, from
which emerges The Narcissus flower.
This painting reminded me of the first chapter of Metamorphosis, where
the main character, Gregor Samsa, first realizes .....

.... is at school, he again
thinks about Eileen. Stephen gets his first sensual experience from Eileen when
she puts her hand into his pocket and touches his hand. Stephen gets quite
confused with the terms of the Litany of Our Lady so he starts to associate the
"Tower of Ivory" and "House of Gold" to Eileen. The way James Joyce describes
the scene, "She had put her hand into his pocket where his hand was and he had
felt how cool and thin and soft her hand was."(43) gives the reader the idea
that Stephen .....

Conflict In "The Child By Tiger"
.... warning, he begins a killing spree which spans
the better part of a day, and spawns a fatal manhunt. His conflict with the
society in general is characterized by his indiscriminate choice of victims.
These victims range from a police officer to an innocent black man looking out
his window, to several citizens who try to put an end to his madness. This
conflict is stopped when the mob catches up to him, and he surrenders in
soldier-like fashion. The hint of the conflict lingers, however, when the mob

A Separate Peace: Contrasting Gene And Phineas And The Struggle For Power
.... is "the capability of achieving
something." Not only is Phineas achieving something from jumping off this tree,
he is achieving power by gaining the respect of fellow classmates. Phineas'
spontaneity inspires many others to be like himself and jump off the tree.
Another example of Phineas' power is his character establishing scene of
disrespect to the school by wearing his pink shirt and the Devon School tie as
his belt. We here, again, see him as the spontaneous individual who "can get
away with any .....

1984: The Control Of Reality For Control Of The Masses
.... is the concept of creating an alternative
reality to control a mass population. The Inner Party stays in power by shaping
the thoughts and opinions of the masses and it does this by creating a reality
where everything suits whatever it is the party needs to be believed. This is
accomplished in three ways. The first is revisionism or the act of changing
facts such as history so that the Party is always made to look good and mobilize
popular opinion against its enemies. The second way the party .....

skeptical about the draft choice that Johnson was quietly pursuing.
Emmitt proved to coach Jimmy Johnson that he had made the right pick by
setting a record, three straight NFL rushing titles. Not even the great Walter
Payton or Jim Brown had ever done this. This is what labeled Emmitt Smith as
one of the best football players ever to step onto a turf or grass field. He
was quoted by Jimmy Johnson saying, "Emmitt makes everyone around him a be .....

Crime And Punishment: Is There Or Is There Not Such A Thing As Crime?
.... would fall. Laws and rules hold us to civilization.
Another way to define crime is through ethics and morals. Each person
on this Earth possesses a conscience; when we do something wrong, our conscience
makes us feel guilty, although some people feel less or more guilt than others
about certain acts; it varies individually. Based on this, one can define a
crime as the things that make us feel guilty, although some crimes do not make
us feel guilty. Some people do not feel any guilt when committing i .....

condition that he resides in, and we get to know his family situation as we read
the long letter from Raskolnikov's mother. Then we witness the murder as it is
graphically described by Doestoevsky. After reading this graphic description of
the murder, how can the reader be sympathetic towards Raskolnikov? How can the
reader believe that a murderer is the protagonist? It is, in fact, not hard to
accept this murderer as the protagonist. Raskolnikov believ .....

Critical Essay On Billy Budd
.... when this necessity is beyond human control. Since Billy is unable to
defend himself verbally, he "responds to pure nature, and the dictates of
necessity" by lashing out at Claggart. I agree with Reich's notion that Vere was
correct in hanging Billy, and that it is society, not Vere, who should be
criticized for this judgement; for Vere is forced to reject the urgings of his
own heart and his values to comply with the binding laws of man.
First, the moral issue aside, Captain Vere had no choice but t .....

Huxley uses Mustapha Mond, the World Controller, to portray the
vulgarity when he explains the obscenity of life before Utopia to a group of
students:
And home was as squalid psychically as physically. Psychically, it was a rabbit
hole, a midden, hot with the frictions of tightly packed life, reeking with
emotion. What suffocating intimacies, what dangerous, insane, obscene
relationships between the members of the family group! (37)

Alex's Analysis Of Any Abject Abuse

death, etc.) side by side with the trivial (although not to Belinda and her
friends: love letters, accessories). Although Pope is definitely pointing to
the "lightness" of the social life of the privileged, he also recognizes their
sincerity in attempting to be polite and well-mannered and pretend to recognize
where the true values lie.
Pope satirizes female vanity. He wrote the poem at the request of his
friend, John Caryll, in an effort to m .....
