Literary Analysis Of The Red D

... describes the masque as “a gay and magnificent revel” in which “the prince had provided all the appliances of pleasure.” This creates a joyous and blissful mood, and shows that the masque, for the most part, was a rather jubilant occasion. However, Poe also illustrates how a gigantic ebony clock, located in the westernmost apartment of the abbey, causes “the giddiest to grow pale” with the sound of a loud, deep, and rather peculiar note when the clock strikes each hour. The “uneasy cessation of all things” resulting from t ...

To Kill A MockingTo Kill A Moc

... unfairly is Calpurnia, as you can see when Aunt Alexandra tried to get Atticus to fire Calpurnia, because in her eyes, Calpurnia wasn't a good enough female role model (p.136).

Aunt Alexandra is a bigot and doesn't see the character of Calpurnia, just the color of her skin. Another person who is treated like an inferior is Scout by her teacher, because she knew how to read. "She discovered that I was literate and looked at me with more th ...

A high mimetic hero is superior to other men but not to his environment. He is a leader. "He has authority, passions, and powers of expression far greater than ours, but what he does is subject both to social criticism and to the order of nature." (Theory of Modes, Northrup Frye) King Henry has all of these. Henry is viewed by society as an pitiful King due to his b ...

The Wierd Sisters In Macbeth

... In normal circumstances, Macbeth would have ignored them. So the witches called him by his name and his current title just to catch his attention.
