Many people have different ways in expressing their love for their significant other: some buy them something nice, some tell them they love them, some even show major public display of affection. But the two men who narrate Porphyria's Lover and The Last Duchess show their love by murdering their significant others. The two stories can be compared to each other, and contrasted from each other, and finally, the men in this time period are believed to have had totally different attitudes towards women

The Poem, “The Mending Wall,” by Robert Frost illustrates two neighbors and their opposing views of what it means to be a good neighbor; one of these neighbors being the speaker. The speaker demonstrates the effects that barriers can have on people, communication, and friendships. These barriers are both physical and emotional barriers. Through the use of irony, symbolism, and metaphors the speaker is able to get this point across. Both the speaker and the neighbor agree that it is a good idea

While the Vietnam War is not the focal point of the movie, Forrest’s story of the war dominates the first phase of his life, characterizing this section of the movie as war genre. At basic training, Forrest both challenges and embraces the idiot label that has been attached to him, as he excels in his exercises but is also considered to be one of the dumbest soldiers his commanders have ever seen. Once in Vietnam, Forrest settles into his new environment, and his social skills begin to develop after

The text The Road Not Taken by Robert Lee Frost and the text Sonnet 73 by William Shakespeare both use a similar topic of text structure to express the central idea and theme. The authors want to prove they're different topic. The authors are slightly different when they wrote there poem. Both text compare because they are both poem uses same figurative language. However, the author's text structure each selection differently because Sonnet 73 only has 1 stanza and The Road Not Taken has 4 stanzas

“Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know when your going to get” This quote from Forrest Gump, I feel is somewhat true, but at the same time, can be false. Sure, you don't always see what is coming at you, but somethings you can know, or guess what's coming. We can all see that people die, so we know that's coming, and losing loved ones can be seen coming as well. You just have to see it right. If things go out of control, and negative things happen, you have to live with it, you can’t

According to Bohm & Haley (2011) Robert Peel’s twelve standards of policing were when London’s police force was established. The standards are important and still used today. Standard number one, police must be stable, efficient, and organized along military lines. Police use a similar rank structure to designate their positions. Standard number two, the police must be under government control. Laws are established by the government. Standard number three, absence of crime shows the efficiency

Many well-known poems are written about nature or take place in nature. Robert Frost is well known for these types of poems. Two of his most famous poems include “The Road Not Taken” and “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.” Both poems have a traveler (Frost) speaking and the speaker is out in nature, alone. Both have their differences with the other, but both deal with decision-making. The traveler in both poems is forced to make a choice, which Frost illustrates using certain elements to shape

Who can be in control of how someone feels? With reading “Porphyria's Lover” written by Robert Browning, and “Adam and Eve” written by Tony Hoagland; they give an insight on how one can feel about love. The poem “Porphyria’s Lover” starts with the speaker inside of a cottage, hearing a strong storm that’s outside. However, the words of “the sullen wind was soon awake, it tore the elm-tops down for spite”, can also mean the speaker has emotions that are dwelling on his mind. Browning writes “I listened

The men in both Porphyria’s Lover and My Last Duchess, specifically the unnamed lover and the unnamed Duke, are very controlling, self-important men. They both clearly view themselves as god-like even though they never implicitly call themselves gods. The narrator of Porphyria’s Lover tells us that she was “murmuring how she loved [him]” (21) and that she wanted to “give herself to him forever” (25); however, rather than think Porphyria loved him like a man, the narrator believes she “worshipped”

Elizabeth Barrett-Browning and Virginia Woolf       I chose to compare and contrast two women authors from different literary time periods.  Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861) as a representative of the Victorian age (1832-1901) and Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) as the spokeswoman for the Modernist (1914-1939) mindset.  Being women in historical time periods that did not embrace the talents and gifts of women; they share many of the same issues and themes throughout their works - however
