In the beginning of the story, Henry Adams describes his solitary existence in San Francisco in which his work put ...

Antonello da Messina created the Portrait of a Young Gentleman in 1474. This is the picture of a man, as the title denotes, and we can presume that this is the actual likeness of an individual, as the characteristics of the face seem to be particularly telling even to the point of depicting unflattering details, like the big nose. Dressed primarily in black, with a grey undershirt, the man is presented in a three-quarter view staring directly at the viewer, confronting him/ her with what art historians call a ‘steady gaze’ (‘Portrait of a young gentleman’). The clothes of the man, although simple, seem to ...

The modern South Korean pop culture has formed under the influence of Westernization, improvement of the socio-economic situation and decline of the role of Confucianism in the society.

However, the biggest changes happened during the last half a century in the ideals of female beauty and attitude, ...

Molière produced a number of satires that criticised the lifestyle of the rich and famous in France. In particular, Molière looked to tease the extravagant manner, style, ...

However, when the mother’s own egg is used the surrogate is not being asked to give up something that is non-replinshable (Gentleman, 2008). The move to outsource surrogacy to poor countries leaves women vulnerable to being exploited through the need to earn money through surrogacy. In addition, these women may go through numerous pregnancy and births and be looked at as little more than a baby factory affecting their dignity (Nilanjana, 2011). It is ...

Despite this outward happiness, by the end of the play he abruptly takes his own life. Robinson, in describing the hyperbolically good qualities of Cory, seeks to surprise his audience by showing that even the people’s perception of Cory as happy is proven false. There are ...

Many writers have found themselves writing about society in an indirect way through the features and attributes they reflect in their writings. The same can be said about The Beggar’s Opera by John Gay which was a representation of class boundaries and therefore had an impact on the consciousness of the public. The conventions that Gay uses continue to influence society today as it satirizes and mocks what society creates as societal stereotypes. Class boundaries in London at the time had caused major disintegration that became inevitable because of the nature of the problems that the disintegration caused. The ...

Based on a novel, written by Emily Bronte entitled “Wuthering Heights”, it can be ascertained that indeed, the mistreatment of Heathcliff by both his Master and Catherine epitomizes his struggle to grow with the social latter class system.

Despite the fact that Heathcliff was adopted by Mr. Earnshaw, his son Hindley mistreats him by leaving him ...

Women are objectified in patriarchy. They have to use their sexuality in order to live a decent life and get what they want, because their position in the world doesn't allow them to achieve that kind of success alone.

Women are victims in a male dominated world and their only chance is to marry preferably a rich man, who will support them.
