I chose William Faulkner’s short story A Rose for Emily for this essay. The work was first published in 1930. The movie I used for comparison appeared in 1983 and was filmed by Lyndon Chubbuck. Both film and story have similar main aspects. They describe a death and life of 74-year-old Emily Grierson who was a town’s heritage. People found that the woman killed her lover Homer Barron and lived with his body like with husband for many years. While Chubbuck saved the main idea, he made several changes that had impact on movie’s perception.

Tobacco that basically comes from the plant known as nicotiana tabacum has been utilized for many years. It can be chewed, sniffed, or smoked.

In many instances, authors use powerful ideas that shift their readers in a way that intrigues their every day understanding of life. It is not debatable that Robert Browning and William Shakespeare were legendary writers of their time. It is also not ironic that although there are years separating the two writers, their work contains similar themes. As a common ground for my comparisons, this paper examines the common ideas and how the themes are brought out in William Shakespeare’s “Othelo”, and Robert Browning’s two poems “My Last Duchess” and “The Laboratory”.

Watson appreciates the test from a chemical point of view, but fails to see any practical utilization of it. His doubts are quickly shattered by Holmes’s explanation of the test’s significance in a crime investigation as he points out that: “had this test been invented, there are hundreds of men now walking the earth who would long ago have paid the penalty of their crimes” (Doyle, ASIS 16).

Corruption is a popular theme in Shakespeare’s plays; almost always when corruption is interjected into his plays it is preceded by jealously. In the play Hamlet, King Claudius succumbs to the sting of jealously as a result, he totally corrupted himself.

He wants what his brother has and he wants it now. Claudius is so driven by ...

I had read Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare for a few times and always thought that only their parents were guilty in their death as they did not know them to be together.

Many people think that only Romeo and Juliet made a wrong decision which led to such a terrible end of the story, but this is not true. In this story many people interfered in the relations of these ...

"Lady Lazarus," a poem written in tercets, seems to face two realities: her own, and her perceived connection to the the Jews who had to face the worst types of torments imaginable. We may never know the full extent of what Jews and other minorities had to face during this time, but this dimly toned poem certainly tries to show an almost telepathic glimpse into their pain.
The first tercet looks to be based on autobiographical fact. "I have done it again./

One year in every ten/I manage it--" (all quotes are directly from Lady Lazarus, Plath).

Here, the tone is immediately ominous. The poet has done something. This is rarely a good thing. ...

Othello, the 1603 masterpiece of the master playwright William Shakespeare is more psychological than artistic, derived from Donald Metzer’s “Concerning the Stupidity of Evil”. Dr. Johnson says that his [Shakespeare’s] drama is the mirror of life; that he who has mazed his imagination, in following the phantoms which other writers raise up before him, may here be cured of his delirious ecstasies, by reading human sentiments in human language, by scenes from which a hermit may estimate the transactions of the world, and a confessor predict the progress of the passions (Johnson. p. 14). Shakespeare portrayed life ...

The romantic era has a significant place in literary history. Running its course from 1780 to 1850, novelists and poets alike flocked to this genre as a form of expression. It was a bold and daring way to define one’s self. Conflicting with the current trend of enlightenment, it went beyond the single-minded philosophy enlightenment had adopted, allowing novelists and poets to transcend everything they and their readers believed writing and reading to be. Human nature was unvarying, and free in its emotion. The church had long since attempted to block this humanity from the world, but romanticism attempted to join ...

The theme of racism in ‘Harlem’ by Langston Hughes
All literary works have various elements such as theme, imagery, setting, rhythm, metaphors and characters, each used in a specific way to express the views of the author/poet, about the society in which he/she is a part of. Using these elements, an author drives home his/her point of view on worldly affairs. According to Laurence Perrine, there are two primary purposes for any literature – to entertain and enlighten. While entertaining is the easier part, Perrine opines that a literature should do more than just entertain, if it is worth scholarly scrutiny. Harlem ...

Life is full of many decisions, some small and some big. But in the end they normally reduce to only two important decisions, either of which could lead to two separate outcomes. Such decisions are so hard that years after we have made them we still wonder which was the correct choice. In Kazuo Ishiguro’s short story, ‘A Family Supper,’ the author symbolically – and often – uses the duality of the number ‘two’ to describe several things. This concept of ‘two’ describes the duality each character’s dichotomy, alluding to two possible outcomes for the story’s ending whether ...

On the apex of the hierarchy was priest or Brahmans. ‘The priests, or brahmanas (anglicized as “Brahmins”) occupied an elite position in this early, village-based society’ (Berkwitz 14) While telling the reason of the highest position of Brahmin Berkwitz (p.14) states, ‘they were ...

The mythical presence of Socrates and his legendary acceptance of the poisoned drink have always fascinated the philosophers and historians alike. What makes the historical and philosophical character of Socrates even more elusive is the fact that Socrates himself did not write any big volumes of philosophy and the sole vessel to his philosophical contributions are the reminiscences of his equally gifted student Plato. Due to this indirect nature of the knowledge being passed down, one can never be sure of what Socrates really believed in as there are many conflicting views presented by other philosophers who were directly ...

Literature

The American literature in the 19th century produced colorful plays, novels, fiction, poetry, essays and native literary pieces. The boundaries of the 19th century American literature were restrictive and presented three challenges to explain the narrow understanding due to the prolonged 19th century, the expansion of literature among genre and the asymmetry of the U.S. and America (Castronovo 1). In the case of famous writers Edgar Allan Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne, a comparison of their works has given their audience the opportunity to play with their imagination by feeling a mix of emotions that may bring them to an eerie, sublime, ...
