A further hypocrisy of Malvolio and yet another vice opposing his puritan philosophy, is his extreme vanity. He places himself on a pedestal above all but Olivia, through purposely using language above his station, seemingly memorised from books "an affectioned ass, who cons state without book and utters ...

- 493: A Critical Analysis of the Poem Entitled "Tract" by William Carlos Williams
- ... he states that the hearse should be plain and weathered, "like a farm wagon--" it could be a comment on using the common elements of life to create a poem. This would follow WCW's philosophy that poetry resides in the natural and physical world. It is the artist's job to find it and interpret it, not to create a false design that doesn't exist. When WCW refers to, "Knock the glass out!" and asks what purpose the glass serves, one must think of the reflection found in glass. Perhaps he is asking his fellow artists to quit pouring their mirrored philosophy of life into their art, and to look to the reality of the physical world for inspiration. Though the voice admonishes the conductors of the funeral to reduce the hearse to a common "farm wagon ...

More serious reservations come from the narrator, a psychology professor named Burris. However, Burris also serves as a voice for Skinner and ...
- 495: Creating the Melancholic Tone in “The Raven”
- Creating the Melancholic Tone in “The Raven” Edgar Allan Poe’s "The Raven," representing Poe’s own introverted crisis of hell, is unusually moving and attractive to the reader. In his essay entitled "The Philosophy of Composition," Poe reveals his purpose in writing “The Raven” and also describes the work of composing the poem as being carefully calculated in all aspects. Of all melancholy topics, Poe wished to use the ... further torture and anguish (95). Through "The Raven," Poe makes a personal, introverted hell strangely mesmerizing and tasteful to all.

Poe's haunting linguistic descriptions, unnerving parallelism between his life ...

- ... of The Poetic Art of A. E. Housman, says: Housman achieves the effect of the assertion of two contradictory attitudes--gaiety and grief, triumph and defeat--in a number of poems about death. Although the 'philosophy' of death in "To an Athlete Dying Young" has been discussed as an instance of Housman's perversity, no commentator, to my knowledge has sufficiently emphasized that the attitude toward death taken in the poem ... of the poem. To be able to understand Leggett's view with that of Housman's is to confuse a technique by which the poet conveys a hard to understand reaction to death with a philosophy, which has no meaning outside the poem. The sixth stanza may not seem as important as the other stanzas in the poem, yet it still plays a major role in the play. In Housman's ...

- 498: The Beak Of The Finch
- ... that: Since the full publication of Galileo's trial documents in the 1870's, entire responsibility for Galileo's condemnation has customarily been placed on the Roman catholic church.

- ... summer out of a life-long, stupid dream . . .Oh! I have suffered! Now you are here we shall love each other. Nothing else in the world is of any consequence." In keeping with Kant's philosophy, Edna's life has been riddled with reason and duty, essentially giving herself away to the people around her. This devotion to responsibility causes her to break away from her common behavioral pattern and moves her to focus on finding her inherent happiness. Ayn Rand objectivism states that a person should live life by pursuing their abilities and engaging in trade of equal value with others. Further her philosophy states that working for another's good or sacrificing your self for another's happiness goes against the very nature of existence. Edna was not engaged in the pursuit of her finest abilities. She lived ...
