Symbolism In The Great Gatsby
.... cutouts of classic novels and not the real thing, it was only their appearance that satisfied others, but Gatsby was so intent on being respected that he purchased the real novels with little or no intention of reading them or ever using them to his academic benefit.
The settings in the novel were also very symbolic about the people. In the past when people were settling, they would head West took look for new opportunities and a chance for wealth, however that direction was reversed in The Gre .....

Symbolism In The Long Rain
.... efforts to keep the men calm and low to the ground one man decides to run. Soon the man is nothing more than black charred remains. At first this seems like a terrible and singular event, but as the story progresses we realize this is a daily occurrence on Venus. I believe that the storms represent the peril that we feel constantly lurking around the corner in our lives. I think the storm represents the life and death struggle we feel going on within ourselves sometimes.

Symbolism In The Scarlet Lette
.... go in the forest and rest. This short scene actually represents Hester̀¼ daily struggles in life, another theme in the Scarlet Letter. The light represents what she wants to be, which is pure; the movement of light represent her constant denial of acceptance. Hester̀¼ lack of surprise and quick suggestion to go into the forest, where it is dark, shows that she never expects to return to her old station in life. She has isolated herself for so many years, it becomes a way of living. Another way light a .....

.... indicative of her nature. The story directly supports this point in the phrase "Faith, as the wife was aptly named . . . " (184). Faith is persistent in trying to keep goodman Brown off the path of sin in the first part of the story: " . . . pr'y thee, put off your journey until sunrise, and sleep in your own bed to-night" (184). Hawthorne does an excellent job of turning the main characters into symbols that are prominent throughout the story.
Nathaniel Hawthorne also uses different objects in .....

Symbolism Of The Scarlet Lette
.... She didn’t know her mother without it. There is a place in the book where Hester removes the scarlet letter and Pearl is outraged. She seems to be unaware of her mother’s existence without this symbol, which began as a punishment and seems to become more of a symbol of pride in all that Hester as gone through and achieved.
Hawthorne’s repetition of the usage of symbol in this novel is proven to be extremely effective. The scarlet letter is originally something the reader .....

The Mariner views the sea snakes as “slimy things … upon the slimy sea.” (ln. 125-26) Only when the Mariner realizes the beauty of God’s creatures and what he has done does the weight of the albatross and his guilt fall away. At this time, the Mariner is able to pray. The albatross is a symbol u .....

.... and atmosphere where faith exists.
Hawthorne’s tale places the newly wed Puritan Brown upon the road to what may or may not be a true conversion experience. The conversion experience, a sudden realization brought about by divine intervention, a vision, or perhaps a dream, easily translates into the dream of Hawthorne’s work and allows the author to use Puritan doctrine and the history of Salem to argue the merits and consequences of such a belief.
At the story’s outset, Young G .....

He states that, although the text is laid out by the author, the words on paper have no relevance until the reader creates meaning for them: "from the very beginning, the meaning is no longer contained in the words, since it is he (the reader), on the contrary, who allows the signification of each of them to be understood; and .....

Realism And Credibility In Mol
.... connected to the fact that both novels belong to the earliest English novels. There was no fixed tradition that the authors
worked in; instead the novel was in the process of being established. The question arises whether the two works lack a certain roundness in their narrators.
In Aphra Behn's work there is both a rejection and an acceptance of traditional plots: the Surinam episodes are far from established plots. The story is innovative, for example, inasmuch as the hero is black and enslaved. .....

Realism In A Raisin In The Sun
.... told you you had to be a doctor? If you so crazy ‘bout messing ‘round with sick people - then go be a nurse like other women - or just get married an be quiet" (38). This passage shows that Walter is clearly a chauvinist, and does not believe in his sister’s desire to be a doctor. Similarly, Beneatha does not believe in Walters aspirations of becoming a rich entrepreneur, and thinks he is rather foolish, incapable, and will resort to any means to make money. "Oh, God! Where is the botto .....

Rebecca
.... of her. Rebecca is in many ways similar to the story of Cinderella, a classic Gothic Romance (Masterplots 3). The main character is a poor, inexperienced girl who falls in love with a wealthy, lonely, man. Mrs. Danvers is equivalent to the evil stepsisters, trying to destroy the main character. Both stories also have a ballroom scene in the middle that ends unexpectedly. Rebecca has a twist though, that changes the story dramatically. An investigation begins to find the cause of death of Maxim' .....

When the new Mrs de Winter came to take Rebeckas place Mrs Danvers went furious. Not only could she not stand with the thought that someone was going to take Rebeckas precious place and the one to do it was a joke. In her eyes a shy brat that even the servants laughed at.

Simon looked; it was a beautiful white rabbit hanging from a rope on the back of a 4x4 flatbed. "Dawn, I would have loved to shoot that sucker. I haven't caught one all year," Simon answered.
"Simon," Norton passionately responds, "look into the eyes of this creature and tell it that you will not have any remorse for killing them."

At a different point in the narrative, Fleming notices flags "here and there . . . the red in the stripes dominating" (89). Gunfire, as one should suspect, is usually described in red terms. "Knifelike fire from rifles is later referred to as "beams of crimson" (164). Anger, although more metaphysical than gunfire, also seems naturally connected with the color red. At the end of the text, .....
