Ursula Le Guin once wrote, “Civilized Man says: I am Self, I am Master, all the rest is other – outside, below, underneath, subservient. I own, I use, I explore, I exploit, I control. What I do is what matters. What I want is what matter is for. I am that I am, and the rest is women & wilderness, to be used as I see fit” (161-4). Le Guin creates a surreal tone that can be found in the works of many early American authors, such as: Irving, Hawthorne, and Poe. The attitudes displayed by the characters

Leonardo’s How did Leonardo Da Vinci’s works reflect Renaissance ideas? Dennis Hsu A4 4/27/2016   Dennis Hsu Ms. Sakamoto History of Europe 4/27/2016 1501 words Between the 14th and 17th century, Europe witnessed a dramatic change in the way people looked at the world, in the form of arts. That period, known as the Renaissance, came directly after the Middle Ages. During the Renaissance, people began to shift away from the medieval lifestyle. This change of ideas was due to the Black Death

stripped of their essence as human beings, void of any emotional capacity and hope being unable to see others as anything more than an enemy. The glorified notion of war and the idea of a heroic soldier prevents Paul from separating himself from the horrors and trauma of war, therefore the Frenchwoman fails to connect with Paul on a more organic and emotional level.

Edgar Allan Poe is a name that is prominent in literature as a slightly obnoxious, gruesome writer. His short stories and poems are sure to send a shiver down any reader’s spine with his vivid imagery. But if one takes the time to read all sixty-nine of his short stories, he or she would find many common elements that become slightly monotonous. Even though he uses some similar ideas, it is what separates his work as distinctly “Poe”. After dissecting each of his stories, it is intriguing to find

A birthmark as referred to in this short story is the “Differences of temperament”, the inborn traits someone can develop. In Nathaniel Hawthorne 's "The Birthmark" there are many different themes such as, nature versus science, and perfection. We see Aylmer struggle with his own temperament. For him the birthmark becomes the symbol of Georgiana’s flawed humanity, which he tries to alternate. Throughout the story, we come across several observances of otherness revolving around “The Birthmark”. Aylmer

The beginning of this essay will reference the judge’s traditional duty. Next it will explore the similarities between Michel Foucault’s Punish and Discipline and Nellie Bly’s Ten Days in a Madhouse. More specifically, it will address the increased authority of the judge, and the judge as a normalizing figure in society. After, it will compare Foucault’s definition of disciplinary institutions to Nellie Bly’s experience in Blackwell Insane Asylum. The judge exercised unilateral power in the justice

"I grew day by day, more moody, more irritable, more regardless of the feelings of others" (Poe 671). Poe had a very complicated relationship with transcendentalism, and you can clearly see this rocky relationship in two of his works. One of these works is "The Black Cat". A brief summary of this short story; the narrator of this story is an insane man who knows he's about to die. The story talks about a cat that he used to have, named Pluto. He was very close to the cat until he starts to abuse

It is not at all surprising that so many of Edgar Allan Poe’s works explore such themes as death, eyes, the power of the dead over the power of the living, retribution, the human conscience, and especially death and murder. From his disturbingly morbid short story “The Telltale Heart” to the mysteriously supernatural poem “The Raven”, Poe’s tales are a direct byproduct of the mayhem experienced in his life, as well as his (arguably) psychologically-tormented mind. Though all of this author’s pieces

“Mercutio is dead.” Three simple words are uttered, yet they take a part of me with them. They take with them the hope, the joy, the childish mischief, the memories of long camping trips, and the witty sarcastic comments only Mercutio had the gall to make. For a minute, they leave me hollow, estranged, devoid of emotion. They leave me empty. I attempt to look at Benvolio, but my eyesight has strangely blurred, the words, refusing to be properly registered in my mind. That is until I see him. Tybalt
