Mikhail Lermontov’s ‘A Hero of our Time’ is set in the 1840s, a crucial time in Russian history. Pechorin was a revolutionary character in Russian literature due to his cynical and amoral personality that alienates him from all social strata. ‘A Hero of our Time’ generated a large amount of outrage from the public due to Lermontov, claiming Pechorin to be the ‘hero’ of our its time. ’Bela’ is a framed narrative portrayed from the views of an old friend, Maxim Maximych, however, the story told by Maxim Maximych suggests it is an unjust and biased view of our ‘hero’ thus we as readers are to depict the true ‘hero’ Pechorin is. Examining the chapter ‘Bela,’ his actions signify his capability to damage a society, demonstrating him to be the callous and manipulative character he is.

Non-fiction writings, such as a history or biography, are based on facts, real events, and real people. These writings can be presented as either objective or subjective and written in the form of personal essays, reports, and biographies. But, no matter what type non-fiction, the factual content of these writings can always be questioned as to whether or not it is actually accurate. In fact, many non-fiction sources, even if they focus on the same topic, often give different facts and information that does not match up with what another source says. As evidence, various non-fiction sources containing information on the “unsinkable” Molly Brown display multiple variations of her life story. Looking at different sources of Molly Brown’s

The purpose of this critique is to analyse the influence that gender has on the characters and the storyline of James Bond’s Skyfall (SOURCE). To understand the influence, a constructivist perspective on gender will be incorporated. The constructivist theory explains gender to be learnt patterns of behaviour which are influenced by cultural norms (SOURCE). As a result, the critique will examine how the depictions of gender and crime in Skyfall incorporates the western attitude towards gender roles and violence, as well as making reference to the relationship between gender and power.

In the daily job, you have 4 days of work meaning you got a 3 day weekend so that's pretty awesome. If you have a 3 week break you can hangout with your family or have some me time and have a great

In William Le Queux novel, Guilty Bonds (1895), Frank Burgoyne encountered various evasive characters that exposed him to a Russian society that nearly destroys him. Frank’s attempts to please his wife, Vera, taught him about the instability of the Russian government and the futile endeavours of the terrorist organization that failed to execute the Tsar of Russia. By using Frank’s experiences throughout the story, William Le Queux was able to formulate an image of Russia that elaborated on both the nation’s political turmoil and societal unrest.

Women in Goldfinger were objects that were used for Bond’s entertainment. On the other hand, women in Spectre were different, and they became strong characters who had a clear purpose in the film.

While American and British authors developed the two distinct schools of detective fiction, known as “hard-boiled and “golden age,” simultaneously, the British works served to continue traditions established by earlier authors while American works formed their own distinct identity. Though a niche category, detective works reflect the morality and culture of the societies their authors lived in. Written in the time period after World War I, Dashiell Hammett’s The Maltese Falcon and “The Gutting of Couffignal”, and Raymond Chandler’s “Trouble Is My Business” adapt their detectives to a new harsh reality of urban life. In “hard-boiled” works, the detective is more realistic than the detective in “golden age” works according to the
