The Scrivener’

Perhaps the most sophisticated aspect of Melville’s story is in how effectively he lures the reader into focusing on the character of Bartleby. The scrivener’s inscrutability is oddly compelling and invites one to try and “understand” Bartleby, to fashion a diagnosis, even imagine a treatment or cure. But the story is about perspective itself, the perspective of the lawyer, who can only assess and try to make sense of his enigmatic clerk within the confines of his own singular world view. True, his is the ethic of Wall Street and the pragmatic rationalism that defines the class of people ...

The very thought of such a thing happening is almost unimaginable, inconceiveable, and unthinkable – not only in modern times – but in any time in history. Men ...

What does the necklace in Guy de Maupassant’s story “The Necklace” symbolize?
The necklace symbolizes the superficiality of wealth and class. The necklace that Mathilde borrowed from Madame Forestier represented a life of wealth and social recognition that she desired for most of her life. However, when it was discovered that the necklace was made from paste was not worth more than “five hundred francs” (de Maupassant 6). This suggests that the life of wealth and status is empty, superficial, and meaningless.

What is one of the major themes of the Guy de Maupassant’s story “The Necklace”? Discuss each of these.

Abstract

This proposal presents a plan for the study of how inter-ethnic conflicts develop in newly decolonized countries around the world.

This leads to failed policies on integration and the homogeneity of the military. The poor and unresponsive intervention of the Executive arm of government in a bad situation causes minorities to pick up arms and seek their right.
This paper proposes that the findings of the preliminary literature review be tested on ...
