English Term Papers and Reports
Was The Wife Of Bath A Feminis
1141 Words - 5 Pages

.... She constantly emphasizes the negative connotations associated with women throughout the ages, and believes that all women are inherently that way. The Wife of Bath describes women as greedy, controlling, dishonest creatures. Although it seems contradictory, she has no respect for her body or the rights of women, and is an insult to true feminists everywhere. The commonly used example of the Wife of Bath's so-called "feminism", is the incident in which she rips pages out of her husband's extremely sexist book. He proceeds to hit her in the head, causing her to fall to the floor in pain. This seems like an act of female liberation, but it is far from that. She did not think t ....


Families On The Fault Line
1437 Words - 6 Pages

.... families from being acknowledged and dealt with, and that, for these "invisible'' Americans, the shrinking economy has brought fear and anger, hopelessness and helplessness. Rubin sees an shocking rise in white ethnicity as frustrated white working-class families seek to place the blame for their problems on ethnic minorities--an attitude, she claims, that has been fostered by national administrations as a way of deflecting anger about the state of the economy and the declining quality of urban life. Rubin warns that failure to recognize the suffering of the working-class family and to seek solutions for its problems jeopardize ``the very life of the nation i ....


A Portrait Of The Artist
616 Words - 3 Pages

.... be quiet sure, Stephen, because it may depend the salvation of your eternal soul." It is almost like the priest had been reading the life of Stephen and knew that he had other worldly wishes. This final comment puts Stephen into mood that would in fact change his mind. During this time when Stephen is leaving the meeting James Joyce uses imagery as before in the novel to compel the reader to think of Stephen the artist. "A quartet of young men ….. stepping to the agile melody of their leader's concertina". This is where Stephen starts to think of the dull "passionless life that awaited him". These troubles lead him into thoughts of the symbols of the church especial ....


Ernest Hemingway
2997 Words - 11 Pages

.... upset at anything which disturbed her perception of the world as beautiful. She hated dirty diapers, upset stomachs, and cleaning house; they were not fit for a lady. She taught her children to always act with decorum. She adored the singing of the birds and the smell of flowers. Her children were expected to behave properly and to please her, always. Mrs. Hemingway treated Ernest, when he was a small boy, as if he were a female baby doll and she dressed him accordingly. This arrangement was alright until Ernest got to the age when he wanted to be a "gun-toting Pawnee Bill". He began, at that time, to pull away from his mother, and never forgave her for his ....


Ovid The Poet
1815 Words - 7 Pages

.... many poets of that time, Ovid's father wished him to be a lawyer. His father sent him from his home in Sulmo, where he was born, to Athens to obtain a legal degree and study rhetoric. "Indeed rhetoric was the core of Roman education in Ovid's time, as it had been for almost a century before his birth as it was for centuries after his death" (Luce 785). When his formal training was complete, Ovid studied philosophy. Ovid then came home to start a serious career. "It did not work. Fathers of poets seem to have a penchant for trying to turn their male offspring into lawyers, doctors, or engineers. Usually this stratagem is effective because most sons are not poets. Most father ....


The Theme Of Evil In Literature
840 Words - 4 Pages

.... king. For all he knew, Duncan would have choked on his breakfast and died, but he didn't take that chance. Macbeth's selfishness was opitimized when he dealt with Banquo and his son, whom the witches said will be king after Macbeth. He had Banquo murdered, and his son's "absence is no less material" (Shakespeare III.1) to Macbeth. Of course Macbeth wasn't the only one who began his reign of evil with selfishness. Jack, in Lord of the Flies also begins tearing the island apart when he becomes extremely selfish. "I'm not going to play any longer...not with you" (Golding 127) is what he said to the group, right before he broke away and formed his own clan, where he was the ....


Wutherinng Heights
2535 Words - 10 Pages

.... her only means to free her soul toward the outer world. In other words, her writings was the means by which she could search and question her personal knowledge on society. Wuthering Heights develops the search for knowledge or truth that subsequently damns and saves her emotionally charged characters: Heathcliff searches for the knowledge he might one day rest with Catherine Earnshaw; Catherine Linton searches for the enigmatic truth behind the family secrets. Knowledge for the players is one of construction and deconstruction of character. I will thus prove that, while Catherine Earnshaw gains knowledge toward perdition of mind and soul, Catherine Linton undergoes a dec ....


Essay On Caesar
410 Words - 2 Pages

.... honorable man. Brutus is a scrupulous man, whose virtues endure. "No not an oath, If not by the face of men, the sufferance of our souls, the time's abuse-If these motives be weak, break off betimes, and every men hence to his idle bed; So let high sighted tyranny rage on, till each man drop by lottery" (Shakespeare 399). Brutus said that if the conspirators do not join for a common cause, then there is no need for an oath because the conspirators are self-righteous, and they are serving the romans. If the conspirators don't bind together, then each man will go his own way, become a weakling, and die when it suits the tyrants caprice. Brutus is advocates peace, freedom and l ....
