Introduction

Robert Smithson examines the protocols of the standard modern aesthetics. His arguments point to the development of a limitlessness approach into art inspection, whereby art may exist in the mind of the observer in an abstract fashion. He sees the natural world as the foundation on which the ideological characters of people’s concepts emerge. Smithson indicates that boundaries and protocols do not exist for all artists in the same way. The mind of the artists is as vast and abstract as the earth’s surface. In earth projects, both real and fictional elements interact and trade places. According to ...

The short passage is evidence as to the suffering and agony that the monster, Frankenstein, experienced as a result of his loneliness and the grotesque sight that he was taken to be.

Waiting for Godot

Waiting for Godot by the Irish writer Samuel Becket is a powerful play attesting to the inevitable suffering inherent in human existence.

As the play opens, the audience or reader meets Estragon, or rather Gogo, who is struggling ...

It is a fact that jazz music remains a crucial role player in Baldwin’s short-stories evident in most of his essays and novels. In his most anthologized short story “Sony’s Blues” Baldwin uses jazz to depict the struggle of two young brothers as they attempted to live righteously in a world of hatred and oppression.

Ver Der Kolk (1996) opines that "traumatized people lead traumatic and traumatizing lives", because they tend to re-victimize themselves, inflict self-injury, and externalize their trauma by victimizing others. The childhood trauma may trigger severe psychological reactions like Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) that may affect the individual by subjecting him or her to severe depression and alcohol or drug dependence ( ...

Introduction

With that being said, Henry David Thoreau’s literary piece The Battle of the Ants, found at the twelfth chapter of Walden, is a great example of this actuality. The story tells of how a simple story of war or battle between two species of ants, which are different in size and color, can serve as a reflection of the main implication of humanitarian conflicts in today’s reality. Thoreau used black and red ants as an allegory to depict the inequality between ...

Why Kafka Wrote the Story

Kafka wrote the story to explore the chaotic nature of the universe. The term “metamorphosis” centers on absurd, wild, and irrational nature of the world inhabited by human beings.

It always turns out that harsh sacrifices must be made to achieve this universal happiness. Nevertheless, our world society seems to be adamantly geared towards achieving some form of this ...

Introduction

Literature, besides being a form of art used for expression, preserves customs, morals, and cultural ideals. The written word gives people a deeper context of the lives and livelihoods of people, places, and events (Kronick, 23).

Each generation adds its experiences to literary accounts and passes on to the next one. For instance, people can learn and imagine, with accuracy, as much about the life and times of William Shakespeare by interacting with his literature and that of ancient ...

William Faulner’s ‘As I Lay Dying’ is a literature piece depicting the social interaction in a family setting.

On the other hand, Gatsby’s blooming interest on Daisy opened him up to a profound change. ...
