- 13671: Grapes Of Wrath-the Journey Th
- ... instance, in The Grapes of Wrath, Steinbeck describes the unrelenting struggle of the people who depend on the soil for their livelihood. One element helping give this novel an added touch of harmony is Steinbeck s ability to bind these two ideas into one story: the never ending struggle to survive and primacy of the family. The journey of the Joads serves as a suitable vehicle for the delivery of Steinbeck's message and theme on three levels. The first is literal: he uses the journey and its ever-changing environment to put the Joads through many situations. The second level is general: the journey of the ... can be seen as the same that forced farmers to become migrants from the dust bowl westward or of any mass migration since the beginning of time. The third level is the symbolic level: Steinbeck s novel can be analyzed by the commonly used mathematics principle of fractals. This relates to The Grapes of Wrath by enlightening the reader of the fact that many things are identical at different levels. ...
- 13672: Friedrich Nietzsche
- Friedrich Nietzsche Some call Friedrich Nietzsche the father of the Nazi party. Was Nietzsche's ideas twisted and warped by a needy country? Nietzsche himself despised the middle and lower class people. Was it Nietzsche's Will to Power theory that spawned one of the greatest patriotic movements of the twentieth century? These are some of the questions I had when first researching Friedrich Nietzsche for the following paper. Friedrich Nietzsche, at one time called "the arch enemy of Christianity"(Bentley, p.82), was born into a line of Protestant Clergyman on October 15, 1844. During Nietzsche's early years, he gave no indication that he would not follow in his families' clergy tradition. As a boy, Nietzsche considered himself a devout Lutheran. At age six(two years after his father passed ...
- 13673: Love And Lovability (wuthering
- ... Lovability There is no character in Wuthering Heights who is completely lovable, who wins our sympathy completely. (Bloom 99) Love, in one way or another is the force which makes people unlikable. In Emily Bronte s Wuthering Heights, people s adoration for one another is the reason why no character is completely lovable. Receiving too much attention spoiled Catherine Earnshaw. Heathcliff was disliked because he had to grow up without a real family to love ... get her present, she responded by grinning and spitting at the stupid little thing. (41) Since she was used to getting everything that she wanted, she became haughty and had no respect for other people s feelings. Why canst thou not always be a good lass, Cathy?

- ... Marius, leader of the Populares which supported agrarian reform and opposed the Optimates (Comptons Encyclopedia).

Caesar's marriage in 84 BC to Cornelia, the daughter of Marius's associate was a political Match (Lindsay Salo).

- 13675: Mrs. Cage (a Play)
- ... caged" behind a wall of briars and Snow White is trapped inside a glass coffin. Ironically, both princesses were caged by a madwoman who was once a caged bird herself. The Greek story of Medea's Revenge, tells of Medea, a woman who feels so rejected by her husband that she kills their children because their features and mannerisms are like those of their father. The forgotten godmother, the jealous stepmother, and Medea all represent caged birds gone mad. In Nancy Barr's play, Mrs. Cage, Lillian Cage is a perfect example of a woman whose mobility has been reduced by mainly her marriage, her social standing and upbringing. Mrs. Cage was trapped in a stifling marriage where ... was simply a status symbol to her husband. She helped him project the type of image he needed as an attorney. Mr. Cage paid her little attention after Elizabeth was born and this caused Lillian's slow but obvious progression from a caged woman to a madwoman. It may have begun with her ironing his shirts. One of Mrs. Cage's favorite memories is of the times when Mr. Cage ...

- 13677: Canterbury Tales, Franklins Ta
- WHEN PIGS FLY!!! Throughout the Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer, participants of the pilgrimage tell stories to entertain one another. These stories, while amusing, tend to have an underlying message, one being the Franklin s Tale. The Franklin s Tale is the most moral tale that has been read. It is not told to make the other pilgrims laugh, rather to explain an extremely important lesson. Throughout life, people say many things that are ... such eloquent and florid description of the Franklin because he wants to convey to the reader that the Franklin is an honest, wise, and decent man that can be trusted and learned from.

Therefore, concluding that the description of a character directly relates to ...

- 13679: The Metamorphosis: The Last Four Pages
- The Metamorphosis: The Last Four Pages At first glance, the final four pages of Franz Kafka's novel The Metamorphosis seem to be meaningless. This assumption, however, is anything but the truth. The final four pages, although seeming to be of no importance, serve to show the reader how the Samsa family changes as a result of the main character's, Gregor Samsa's, death. The family's changes are best exemplified in two different scenes: the scene at the kitchen table, and the scene on the trolley. During the scene at the kitchen table, there is a ...
- 13680: The Scarlet Letter: Darkness Illuminated
- ... heart in his novel The Scarlet Letter. The use of light in order to fortify this psychological theme confirms its significance in the novel. As though he were weaving an elaborate tapestry, Hawthorne meshes light's intense symbolism into his characters' natures until a chef d'oeuvre manifests itself upon the loom of the reader's intellect. This tapestry serves as a subtle background upon which the characters' sinful hearts are bared. As Hawthorne navigates the reader through the passages of his dark tale, one follows Hester as she goes to Governor Bellingham's mansion. Light is reflected by almost every aspect of the extravagant dwelling. Through the narrator's words, we see the Governor's house as Hester sees it: "...though partly muffled by a curtain, it [ ...
