    In this article, Canadas relates the works of Christopher Marlowe to James Joyce’s, Portrait, via similar characters and certain allusions. Overall, Canadas has an awful habit of using a lot of plot summary. The first portion of the article is based around summarizing the plot for what is assumed to be a necessary filler.

There is absolutely no reason to include a hefty amount plot summary when the time can best be spent analyzing.…
