- 1161: Robert Browning
- ... London, England on May 7, 1812. He was raised by his father, also Robert Browning, and by his deeply religious mother, Sarah Anna Weideman-Browning. His often indulgent parents gave him the freedom to explore new literary and philosophical ideas of the time period, yet he was also instructed to believe the unexplained mysteries of the Christian faith(Miller, 1953). His mother, who had strong ties to the congregational church, took ... of Shelley, a known aethist, taught Browning to be an independent free thinker. After reading Shelley's book, Queen Mab , Browning became an aethist and a vegetarian(DeVane & Smalley, 1984). He rejected his mother's world to gain a sense of liberty and independence(Irvine & Honan, 1974). This faith change at such an early age seemed to lead to a continual spiritual inconsistency throughout his life.

Robert Browning considered Shelley to be moral because he was "true, simple hearted and brave"(cited in Payne, 1967, p.198). He found him to also be a man of religious mind because Shelley was "everywhere taking for granted some of the capital dogmas of Christianity, while most vehemently ...

- 1165: Jay Gatsby And Dick Diver
- ... counter a life which had become confused and disordered. Order and chaos pervade The Great Gatsby, with Nick declaring his belief that codes of conduct are needed to control human behaviour. He wishes for the world to be in uniform and at a sort of moral attention forever, and Gatsby also seems to be lost in the world of parties he has created, and not quite in control, despite his efforts.
