Ethan Frome
... from an illness and once his mother died he could not bear the thought of being alone. His wife was seven years his senior and always seemed to have some kind of illness. It seemed that all she ever did was complain, and he resented this because it stifled his growing soul. Since his wife was continuously ill, and her cousin needed a place to stay, they took her in to help around the house. Ethan took an immediate liking to her cousin, Mattie, because she brought a bright light upon his dismal day. He seemed to have found someone that cared for him, was always happy, and could share his youth, unlike his sickly ...

An Attempt At A Rhetorical Ana
... as the literary elite. He says he is speaking to the audience as “consumers” (134). He tries to overcome the notion that the studying of literature is not a necessary part of the process of learning to read and write.
He stresses the importance of the imagination and it’s appearance in our reality. He states:
The fundamental job of the imagination in ordinary life, then, is to produce, out of the society we have to live in, a vision of the society we want to live in. (140)
He provides several examples to advance his claim. The cliché receives much of his attention. He emphases that not only does Commun ...

Exotica - Character Analysis
... evolves into an unbreakable chain of dependence. The characters seem completely real even while they appear to be acting without any apparent explanation - and then seem even more real when we understand them.
Exotica clearly illustrates the importance of character in film. It is common in the classic Hollywood film to simply portray one principle character and create the story around him/her. However, Egoyan's Exotica differs in this respect, as he portrays five principle characters, each with separate desires, and unifies them via the complex and tangled narrative in such a manner that by the end, these pe ...

Othello - Iago
... his success has been built upon his honest reputation, perceptive nature and ruthless motivation.
Iago's importance to the play is revealed through the significance he has in determining the direction of the plot. Just like a masterful puppeteer, he has forcefully steered its' direction. Shakespeare, at the very beginning of the play does not bother to develop the character of the protagonist, Othello but rather places greater emphasis on plot development. We are immediately introduced to Roderigo and Iago and are privy to their conspiracy to undermine Othello. With a masterful stroke, Iago subdues Roderigo, his ...

Canterbury Tales - In And Out
... Wife of Bath’s fantastic tale to Absolon’s jamming of a hot iron into Nicholas’ rectum in the Miller’s tale, examples of such invasion and inversion represent the foundations of most of the tales’ plots. Chaucer exposes his fundamental device in the opening stanza of the General Prologue. The first five lines of the poetry address only major natural forces—"Aprill with his shoures soote," (1) and, "Zephirus…with his sweete breeth" (5). Life forms, first grain and then birds, grow organically from these bricks of the earth. The poet creates a chain of existence molded into a comforta ...

Successful Relationships And Short Stories
... are many instances in the short stories in which I have read where two
characters are unable to grasp the concept in which I am putting forth. A
prime example would be Miss Dent and Mr. Blake from John Cheever's "The Five-
Forty-Eight." In this story, Miss Dent and Mr. Blake start with a working
relationship which escalates into a one night stand. Neither character has
communicated what their intentions or hopes for this encounter is. Miss Dent is
coming from the angle that she cares for this person, and would like something
more from this affair. She articulates this to him later saying "All I wanted
was a ...

Jobs Are Not For Everyone
... place that is the worst to work at is a grocery store. The tasks one is asked to do as an employee of a grocery store are unimaginable. I think that being employed, especially to a grocery store, is not a good idea for teenagers because there are usually unintelligent people running them, it infringes on teenage lives, and some aspects of most jobs are disgusting.
Bosses are probably the most difficult part of being employed to me. At the grocery store that I worked at for a short period of time, I remember being constantly pulled aside and being told that I wasn’t bagging the groceries properly. The strange ...

Our Grandmothers By Maya Angel
... a brief description of the setting through imagery. “She lay, skin down on the moist dirt, / … the whispers of leaves…/ the longing of hounds…” (“Our Grandmothers”, 1-4). These lines are very effective to the readers because the imagery behind these lines allows the readers to feel the cool breeze blowing, hear the leaves rustling and even sense the smell of fear; everything that one could think of to enhance the setting of a plantation. Reading this poem is an escape from modern day life. As readers, we observe everything that the narrator and the main character experience ...

Amadeus Dramatic Vs Historical
... lies on the character of Antonio Salieri and his obsessive jealously of Mozart. To convey this plot, it was necessary that Salieri had motives enough dislike Mozart. So it was necessary to build a character that was extremely competent but with no talent at all to contrast with a genius who behaved badly. With this, Salieri would have reasons to be jealous.
As his first attempt to convey his plot, Salieri is shown as a musical hack as we can see in this extract:
“Bewildered, MOZART does so (halts and listens), becoming aware of SALIERI playing his March of Welcome. It is an extremely banal piece, vaguely – but ...
