A Midsummer Night’s Dream

... them to shapes, and gives to airy nothing A local habitation and a name. Such tricks hath strong imagination That, if it would but apprehend some joy, It comprehends some bringer of that joy; Or in the night, imagining some fear, How easy is a bush supposed a bear! (V,i,2-22) Theseus, in Scene V of A Midsummer Night's Dream, expresses his doubt in the verisimilitude of the lover's recount of their night in the forest. He says that he has no faith in the ravings of lovers- or poets-, as they are as likely as madmen are to be divorced from rea ...

Decameron

... Alatiel as an object when her father, the sultan of Babylon, promises her hand to the king of Algarve (48). Alatiel has no say in who she marries.

Elduc In 2000

... Eliduc lies to both women. However, my version of Eliduc, is written in 2000 mode. The society has metamorphosed into a chaotic blend of moral dysfunction. Many are unwilling to mend broken relationships. Instead, they choose to lie, cheat and deceive those who have been faithful and true to them. The repercussions of these betrayals are far more nauseating than Guildeluec’s reaction to Eliduc’s affair. Beware, if you loved Marie’s version this might be too intense for some readers. First, the names of the characters are a bit more m ...

Barn Burning: The Symbolism Of Fire

... rashly destroying the property of whoever he thinks wronged him. Abner definitely has a lack of respect for other peoples property. This side of Abner that thinks he can destroy anything to make things better relates perfectly to fire. Fire destroys anything in it’s way, and has respect for nothing. It will not stop until it is forced to quit. Just like fire, Abner does not respect boundaries. He stops at nothing and respects no ones property. Abner’s son, Sarty, was the person trying to stop this “fire” when he was not going ...

Great Expectations

... to take care of the garden. Then they just appear to be loving, compassionate people. Really they are paying someone else to do the hard work to make the family seem loving on the outside but nobody will ever really know how those kind of people are on their dark mysterious inside spirit. Dickens also supported the belief that houses represent people. In , Dickens used the houses of the characters to represent the state of the characters spiritually, physically, and emotionally. Mrs. Havisham has been frozen in time just like her hous ...

Propaganda is spread to the animals they are supposed to represent. Old Major He is a pig who is very old. He has seen the lifestyle the animals live and is dissatisfied with it.

The Tories

... that since she is a Tory she is probably grossly exagerating the treatment of the man in hopes to persuade her friend (Mrs. Lightbody) that the rebels are evil and inhumane. One could relate it to the propaganda used by many countries during wartime. The second letter by an unknown rebel was written about a year later and also describes the tar and feathering of a Tory man. His description is more of what I’ve always believed a tar and feathering to be: humiliating and a chance for the public to punish a person themselves. The re ...

Night Out On The Ritz

... magic around us”(89). The old Charlie Wales lived during the economic boom of the 20’s, or other wise known as the jazz era. He lived a good life. During that time, he spent a lot of time drinking and throwing away money: “ he remembered thousand-franc notes given to an orchestra for playing a single number, hundred-franc notes tossed to a doorman for calling a cab”(90). Sometimes just acting childish with his friends Duncan Schaeffer and Lorraine Quarrles: “We did have such good times that crazy spring, like that night you and I s ...

Lord Of The Dead

... other perspective involves what Benhabib calls “the fungibility of identity,” suggesting that identities are more active and flexible constructions.2 Correspondingly, each of these views yields a different view of politics; both of which, I will suggest, can be seen as quite limited, but for different reasons. For example, many identity theorists, and postmodern feminists generally, will balk at having Catharine MacKinnon put forth as an exemplar of their views. If she is an advocate of identity politics, it is only in a very specific se ...

“The Legacy Of One.”

... I was born. My dad had always been a strong role model to me, the kind of man you see in movie pictures and what not. He worked hard for everything he had even though it wasn’t much. To get to the point we were a great family, my dad, and I. My mother was never there though. That led me to do a lot of stupid things, but my dad was always there to try to understand why I did them. Until one warm, Saturday at my grandparents house. It was my dad and I, having a great day, watching cartoons! Everything was going great, until my dad wanted to ...
