Marcel Proust

Speaking on the concepts of time, memory, and narrative, "Swann 's Way" by Marcel Proust creates a literary artwork bathed in the exploration of identity through achronological excerpts. Each recollection the narrator experiences are packed with a specific and intense contextual message, providing the audience with a unique reading experience. This paper will serve as an analysis of the construction of text observed in "Swann 's Way," followed by an explication of two passages of choice and an accompanying

Marcel Proust was a twentieth century French writer best known for his novel In Search of Lost Time (À la recherche du temps perdu) and at over 3000 pages, it is one of the longest novels ever written. This book is difficult to summarize but essentially the work is about learning to appreciate life and existence, rather than focusing on the superficial aspects of the mundane. These ideas are portrayed through Marcel, who is the narrator and the principal character of the novel and by the secondary

W.G. Sebald died in a car accident and his writing career were fairly short, however, during his lifetime he was one of the most innovated writer in the twentieth century. In the novel The Emigrants by W.G. Sebald translated by Michael Hulse, has many unique elements and style of the novel. The Emigrants are written through a narrator’s perception and intervention illustrating memories, civilization, nature and culture. Sebald is an author who wrote his books without a specific writing outline or

I received throughout the entire poem is the cycle of life. The author of this poem, John Updike was born on March 18, 1932 and died on January 27, 2009. He was influenced by several different people such as: William Shakespeare, James Joyce, Marcel Proust, John Barth, and many other people. One of his famous quotes that I like is “[d]reams come true; without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them.” John Updike wrote many different things. He wrote short stories, poems, and novels

It’s the year 2014. We have discovered flight, we have been to outer space, we have the Internet. We even have GPS shoes for those who can’t read a map. What more is there to learn, to discover, to create? Yet we are never satisfied, constantly hungry for more answers to our questions. For writers like Leo Tolstoy and Virginia Woolf, understanding the world and its intricacies is essential. However, their approaches to truth differ: Tolstoy argues in “The Death of Ivan Ilych” that there is a clear

Internalization and Philosophical Introspection Contradictory to my previous rubric, the second rubric that I created is one which focuses on internalization, or more specifically, philosophical introspection. Introspection is another modernist literary quality that emerged after the start of World War I. The first war had a large impact on society and that particular generation at the time, as losses were large during the war, and grew even larger with the outbreak of influenza. To The Lighthouse

The study is designed to understand the different social issues related to different characters in the novel To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf. It focuses on the Victorian and Modern marriages and highlights how the female characters are different from one another. Similarly, there are a lot of religious doubt, degrading women, and an unclear vision in the novel by one of the characters. However, there are deaths in the novel too. Similarly, it will focus on the two central women in the story.

I think that Virginia Woolf uses different angles or non-conventional places because she tries to define the kind of life that British people had at the time and this is helpful to understand the context. During Mrs. Dalloway’s day, the characters move through different places in London, frequenting streets or parks. Thus, location becomes important because it remarks the contrast between the characters' public and private selves along with the social classes where they belong. Furthermore, some

Watching the film ‘The Matrix,’ it is natural to question whether the world we live in is real or not. Neo, the hero, comes to know that the world he lives in is not real thanks to Morpheus. In the future world, the computer rules humans, who are, in turn, born to grow in an incubator. Further, human cerebral nerves are connected to a computer networks, which implies men cannot help living in another incubator till death although they cannot recognize they live in the incubator. Plato’s allegory

‘Mrs. Dalloway’ by Virginia Woolf is centered around post World War One disillusionment- memories of past relationships, the disappointment and suffering born from a failed system, and the struggle to adjust to a new normal. In her novel, Virginia Woolf uses several motifs that hold significance for each character they are focalized through-the tolling of Big Ben, or the event of the town car riding past the shops, for example. One powerful motif that Woolf uses is water. Water as a symbol is focalized
