.... goes on to claim the necessity of a tradition in literary criticism aswell, “No poet, no artist of any art, has his complete meaning alone. His significance, his appreciation is the appreciation of his relation to the dead poets and artists. You cannot value him alone; you must set him, for contrast and comparison, among the dead. I mean this as a principle of aesthetic, not merely historical, criticism.” He goes on to analogise the poetic process to the scientific experiment. Whilst it is tempting to see this as a negation of the creative process. Eliot’s later remarks lead us irresistibly to think in terms of the earlier alchemists and their somewhat ....

.... poet in Asia Minor before 700 B.C. Both epics deal with legendary events that were believed to have occurred many centuries before they were written. It is said that these works where used in Ancientt Greek education. Today we see These great works put in to the curiculem of almost every school in America! The Iliad is a story of the trojen war.

.... he was able to pass this personal quality onto one of his characters. The Baskerville family was a very respected one especially after Sir Charles took control over Baskerville Hall. "Though Sir Charles resided at Baskerville Hall for a camparatively short period his amiability of character and extreme generosity had won the affection and respect of all who had been brought into contact with him." (Doyle 19) The noble Baskerville family is very likely a reflection of what Doyle thought, or knew, about his own family. Another thing that is evident in the book is Arthur Conan Doyle's chivalrous side. The characters of Sir Henry Baskerville and Sir Charles Baskerville continuall ....

.... in] situation, not to the inconsistency of character portrayal." In Henry IV parts I and II we see as the romantic character that is stated in the definition above, defying everything that the Classical character, Prince Hal, stands for and believes.. He refuses to take life seriously. He believes that "War is as much of a joke to him as a drinking bout at the Boar's Head." He uses people solely for his own purposes, either for money or for food and drink. He is rude and crude to all those around him and is one of the best liars who continually gets caught in his lies but makes new ones to cover for the old failed ones. Yet Baker states that, "His presence of mind and ....

.... visit the castle. This sets the tone for Horatio's character. He is asked by the officers to speak to the spirit because he is a most educated scholar and the only one among them qualified to speak in such an intimidating situation. This demonstrates the respect shown to Horatio, although he is a nobleman. Horatio establishes his bravery during the opening scene by questioning the ghost. His actions demand respect. Rosencratz and Guildenstern are introduced to the audience during the second scene of the second act. Hamlet went to school with both Rosencratz and Guildenstern. The first encounter that Hamlet has with Rosencratz and Guildenstern is very significant. Haml ....

.... "He used to be just a regular writer… Now he’s out in Hollywood being a prostitute". Holden often thought that D.B should leave his job in Hollywood writing movies and go back to his old life writing short stories. He should do that so that he could stop trying to please the people and just please himself. Another way that D.B was on Holden’s mind was how Holden thought about the many stories that D.B. would read him at night. When thinking of this it would remind Holden of the good times at home, this was a time when he felt comfortable and was a memory that made him feel good at almost anytime. And finally D.B. affected Holden by remembering there visits ....

.... he told everyone about his fake brother Bradley. "Duddy told the boys about his brother Bradley. I got a letter from him only yesterday aft. As soon as I'm finished up at Flectcher's Field he wants me to cume down to Arizona to help out on the ranch like."(Pg.14) Duddy was also a teen who was hard to handle in life. As Duddy got older he began to know more about what to do in his life. He decided to get his owl land. This decision came from the fact that his grandfather, Simcha, had given him advice about man. He told him "A man without land is nobody"(Pg.48) So with this advice Duddy set his sights on getting himself his own piece of land.Duddy seemed like a changed man b ....

.... violent . For this reason he got up and began attacking Stella. Here is a passage from that scene: “ Men: Take it easy, Stanley, easy fellow,--Let’s all--. Stella: You lay your hands on me and I’ll—“(57) This just proves what I was saying about one of Stanley’s moods. His violence and the fact that he looses control of his actions is one characteristic which I didn’t particularly like at all about Stanley. Here’s another passage in Scene 10 that really show’s how mean Stanley really is. This scene depicts when Stanley gets into a fight with Blanche. The scene concludes on a sour note when Blanche breaks a bottle top ....
