Harold Bloom

necessary process of strengthening oneself, even the benefit of a degree of selfishness, are themes that appear throughout How to Read and Why by Harold Bloom and “I Stepped from Plank to Plank” by Emily Dickinson.

As much as skill and dedication play an important role in gaining recognition, these are not the only characteristics necessary to determine whether that certain writer has carved his/her name in the rough stone of immortality, whether he will remembered after centuries.

Hamartia is a tragic flaw that causes the downfall of a hero; hubris is excessive pride and disrespect for the natural order of things; peripeteia is the…

With that said, it’d look appropriate that literary analysis, having come so far, acknowledges a great deal of its contributions, in a roundabout kind of way, to William Shakespeare himself. “The Bard” arguably best took on human nature, and the natural environment, at least from the point of his written understanding. Reiterated within the first chapters of Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human Pages, Harold Bloom, the paramount scholar on the subject, makes his case on what is meant, in…

The Book of J by Harold Bloom gives insight on the punishment of the murder committed by Cain unto his brother Abel because of the fierce jealousy he felt towards Abel when Yahweh showed more favoritism to Abel 's gift rather than Cain 's gift. Bloom presents the punishment of Yahweh as "Homeless you will be on the land, blown in the wind…..a warning not to kill [Cain] to any who may find him."

“When I left that icy prison I’d no idea where north and south were but I did have two very strong convictions. One was that good novels must be a poetic transposition of reality, and the other was that mankind’s immediate future lay in socialism” (qtd. in Bloom 11). This is the essence of Gárcia Márquez.
