The Satire Of Jonathan Swift Revealed
.... hand he, “was
under great difficulties between urgency and shame”, and after the deed says
that he felt, “guilty of so uncleanly an action” (Norton,2051). By revealing to
the reader Gulliver's shame in carrying out a basic function of life, Swift
comments on the self imposed supremacy of English society. By humbling their
representative, the author implies that despite the belief of the English to be
the most civilized and refined society, they are still human beings who are
slaves to the same forces as every other human being regardless of culture or
race.
On the second voyage, Swift turns the tables on Gulliver and p .....

The Scarlet Letter: Review
.... be seen in both lights. Either they
can be perceived as just upholding the law -she committed a crime, they enforce
the law. On the other hand are they going to extreme measures such as wanting
to take Pearl, Hester's daughter, away just because Hester has deviated from the
norm, all to enforce an unjust law that does not even apply to this situation?
Although the subjects of the novel do apply to important issues in
history and could have had influences on the time period, they were not great.
During the times and in the Puritan community this did not have a large affect
on anything. Sure, they did not want anyone .....

Frankenstein: The Subjectivity Of The Character "Safie"
.... theorists, such as Benveniste who said, "Consciousness of self [or
subjectivity] is only possible if it is experienced by contrast," argue that
one's subjectivity can only exist in their relation to the Other(85). The
subject's relation this "Other" depends on which aspect is being examined. For
example, when dealing with gender, it would be the relationship between Man and
Woman and when dealing with nationality it would be the relationship between
Native and Foreigner. Thus, the character of Safie was defined in terms of her
relationship to those around her. In the Turkish society, her role would have
been to fulfill p .....

The Subtle Humor Of Pride And Prejudice
.... an actor, it becomes all the
more noticeable to the audience. An author can exaggerate a character in order
to make fun of them. Austen exaggerates many of her characters and therefore
makes caricatures of them in order to emphasize their ridiculousness. Mrs.
Bennet is such a character. Her extremely unpleasant manner and reactions
causes readers to delight in the situations which Mrs. Bennet places herself
into. Mrs. Bennet's harsh tongue and simple mind causes the reader to laugh,
because it is so exaggerated that the reader thinks that such a person cannot
exist. Mr. Collins is another exaggerated character in the novel. .....

.... and they don't know each other because
they are often separated from each other. "
-Martin Luther King
The stereotypes in this novel are fairly common but the fact that they
are accepted and used so openly in public is what astonishes me. I think people
in the community, even if they do disagree with what is being said or done,
they will say or do nothing because they are afraid of going against the
majority of the community and become a victim of prejudice themselves. Atticus
was one of the few who actually stopped and listened to himself without b .....
