    Babette's Feast Analysis

    Many people who have read "Babette's Feast" by Izak Dinesen do not take Babette's dinner into account as much as they should. The dinner Babette served was magnificent, and the only one who recognized it is the General because he had been cultured throughout the years. I believe that the dinner does not only represent the beauty one can make but also the way love can reappear and feel foreign to those around it.

Babette makes wonderful dishes for the town of Berlevaag on the the Dean's 100th Birthday Dinner.…

    Artist Approach to The Last Meal In the article, The Last Meal, Michael Paterniti adds complexity and strength to his work by taking an artistic approach to deliver his information.
