Madame Bovary: The Origin Of Emma And Nora
.... and how these viewpoints had an effect on the
personalities and actions of their characters.
Gustave Flaubert was born on December 12, 1821 in Rouen, France to
a wealthy surgeon. As a boy he was well aware of the incompetence in the
medical profession, and the middle class “lip service” which he portrayed
through Homais in Madame Bovary. In his college years, Flaubert began to
despise the middle class even more as he became enthralled in the romantic
writings of Hugo, Rousseau, Lord Byron, and Sir Walter Scott. In Madame
Bovary, Emma has a certain romantic aspect similar to Flaubert which is a
longing for things to be perf .....

takes Heathcliff home. Mr. Earnshaw sees a humble child in need of help.
He is not concerned with the constrains of society, which is another tenet
of Romanticism, but rather .....

.... cured
ailments ranging from sick cattle to jealousy. And if the relics didn't
seem to work, it was obviously because of the sinful man or woman who
purchased them, and no fault of the Pardoner. He had a few lines he would
routinely say to his potential customers;
“Good men and women, here's a word of of warning:
If there is anyone in the church this morning
Guilty of sin, so far beyond expression
Horrible, that he dare not make confession,
Or any woman, whether young or old,
That's cuckolded her husband, be she told

another job. So Johnny went into town and looked with no luck. He came upon

Deliverance: The Passing Of The Torch
.... It also seemed
that Ed was somewhat jealous of Lewis. Ed was jealous because of Lewis'
ability to do whatever he wanted, his willingness and ability to deal with
the outdoors, and Lewis' body build. Drew and Bobby also seemed to rely on
Lewis quite a bit, but not even as close to as much Ed did. They were able
to say "no" at first when the idea of the trip came up, although, later
they were talked into it. Whereas with Ed, he found himself saying "yes"
right from the get go. It was not until later, when Lewis picked him up,
that Ed had second thoughts about the trip. However, even after having
second thoughts, Ed was able .....

trespasser. This is where the problems for Juana and her family began.

Morrison's Beloved: The Psychological Suffrage Of Former Slaves
.... this by stating " …
it shows no sense of the timeless and unpredictable manifestations of evil
that preceded and followed American slavery" (Crouch 38-43).
However, Crouch realizes that Morrison has real talent, in that he
believes she has the ability to organize her novel in a musical structure
by using images as motifs. He also felt that the characters in the novel
served no purpose other than to deliver a message. Crouch believed that
Morrison did not want her readers to experience the horrors of slavery that
others did, but rather just to tally up the sins that were committed
against the darker people and feel sorry for them .....

Dante's "The Hermaphroditic Joyce"
.... mysterious aura, the aura
of a woman. Judging from the studies of twentieth century linguists,
Joyce's brief representation of Dante through speech is nearly flawless. To
more lucidly understand this, one must carefully examine some of the
instances at which Dante speaks in her conversation with Mr. and Mrs.
Dedalus, Charles, and Mr. Casey, and re-examine the arguments she makes.
Dante is introduced into the dinner table conversation as a silent
character. However, when the men's conversation turns to the misuse of the
preacher's pulpit, Dante begins her interjections.
All too often, women in literature remain linguistically d .....
