    Stigmatized by pop culture and modern society, individuals suffering from physical disabilities are often labeled as abnormal. Katherine Dunn’s novel Geek Love challenges this stigma by creating a family comprised solely of “freaks” who display physical disabilities alienating them from the norms of society. To create this family of freaks, parents Al and Crystal Lil Binewski conceive their children while taking a concoction of narcotics—a practice frowned upon by society and medical experts alike due to the increased probability of birth defects. Abandoning their children who appear “normal,” the family raises those born with deformities as performers in their travelling carnival operation—the Binewski Fabulon. Star of the show Arturo Binewski, born with flippers rather than hands and feet, leverages his popularity as a performer in the Fabulon in order to gain power over his family and the audiences he generates.…

    Love remains a frequent topic in literature because of the countless opportunities to explore emotions and to delve into the human psyche to ponder what truly causes someone to love another person. Furthermore, love is multifaceted, and Hawthorne focuses on a different aspect of love within a relationship in each of his two stories. Although “The Birth-Mark” and “The Minister’s Black Veil” both contain elements of Puritan society, delineate the relationship between a man and his partner, and consider how far love can drive a person, each story examines a different kind of love that a man and a woman have for each other. Georgiana unconditionally loves Aylmer in the same way that Mr. Hooper unconditionally loves Elizabeth, but both of their respective partners, Aylmer and Elizabeth, conditionally love them and fixate upon a single, minute detail, the birthmark and the veil, which they perceive…

In The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer, the “Knight's Tale” shows that love is greater than any other power. Chaucer composed the tale to convey the idea that love brings about unforeseen outcomes.…
