... set. These views were expected to be adopted by the contemporary reader as evidenced by the frame narrator changing his view of London as "the biggest and the greatest town on earth" to being a "monstrous town… marked ominously on the sky… a broading gloom of sunshine…" It is important to realize, however, that both the frame narrator and Marlow absent information as affected by their own background and white, European upbringing and also personal experiences. Hence negative views on women and (unconsciously) African natives and strong views on colonialism and to a lesser extent racism arise. Marlo ...

Since the wall is not “walling” anything in or “walling” anything out (33). Though the speaker sees the wall as having no purpose, he does name at least one good thing about it. The thing that ...

... Meter plays a very important role in poems because it gives the poet another tool to help convey the feeling of the poem. Dickinson used this metrical pattern to convey to the reader that the bird did not feel natural on the ground. The meter forces the poem to be read very jumpy and quick, much like how a bird acts while on the ground. Even though the bird is on the ground for a short amount time it still acts cautiously because its natural habitat is in the sky. And the he drank a Dew From a convenient Grass– And then hopped sidewise to the Wall To let a Beetle pass– When the bird finally flies away ...

Using Oedipus as an ideal model, Aristotle says that a tragic hero must be an important or influential man who makes an error in judgment, and who must then suffer the consequences of his actions. Those actions are seen when Oedipus forces Teiresias to reveal his destiny and his father's name. When Teiresias tries to warn him by saying "This day will give you parents and destroy you" (Sophocles line 428), Oedipus still does not care and proceeds with his questioning. The tragic hero must learn ...
