    In this final line of the story, the mother interprets the baker’s potential refusal to allow the daughter to touch the bread as a sign that the daughter has become a social outcast, undoubtedly a slut. Kincaid uses the words “feel” and “squeeze” to turn the act of buying bread into a metaphor for sexuality, and the baker’s refusal is therefore a sexual rebuke. In response to her daughter’s innocent question, the mother seems to explode in anger at her, as if one impertinent question demonstrates the futility of advising a stubborn and undisciplined girl bent on becoming a slut. The daughter’s question and lack of an answer from the mother also highlight the inability of the mother and daughter to communicate on any level, much less a meaningful…

    Hugh N. Maclean argues that the structure of The Scarlet Letter is purely based on three stories centralized around specific characters. All these stories are “unified by the central theme of God’s saving power and man’s futility.” Maclean suggests that the main plotlines in Hawthorne’s novel are those of Dimmesdale, Chillingworth and Pearl. His idea is that Dimmesdale and Hester get pressured by Chillingworth, and ultimately the results affect Pearl. The interconnections between these key characters drive the plot forwards, but some characters do not directly affect the fate of the others, instead “the manner in which the lives of these four figures turn on each other demonstrates the nature of the divine plan.”…

    Jean-Paul Sartre, in his plays No Exit and The Respectful Prostitute, demonstrates existentialist concepts, especially those pertaining to people’s relationships with others. One such concept is that of the idea that “hell is other people”, meaning when people judge themselves they reflect on other people 's thoughts and opinions about them. Therefore, if the relationship the person has with the other is bad, then the other person may seem as if they are hell since their objective view of the person causes the person to feel negatively about themselves while they reflect on their own actions. This concept of “hell is other people”, which Sartre coined the term for himself, as well as the concept of the “other” person, or simply just the Other, shows the cyclical…

    The many modern currents against Christianism are not the result of the Protestantism, but everything emerged from the Enlightenment, as Edward O’Connor said in The Catholic Vision, “it left a profound impression on our culture that we today are very much its offspring.” No only it was very influential on the Reformation movement, but today we are still bombarded with new forms of it such as humanism (which place man above everything), rationalism (it makes ‘Reason’ the supreme guideline), secularism (placing God or any religious reference away from every human activity), and the development of science and technology (that is the foundation of urbanization and industrialization, and is the foundation of having a centralized and individualistic…

    In the Novel Under A Cruel Star, Heda Margolius Kovaly sheds light on the repercussions of not only the German concentration camps in World War 2, but also shows how the War led to the adoption, practice, and repercussions of a hostile communist government. In this novel courage, not only in a power to survive, but in a power to provide for family, is the most prevalent issue brought about in Hedas retelling of her time in the concentration camps and her time as wife to a communist official. One of the most endearing facts about Heda in her retelling of her experiences is that fact how despite everything that she had observed, participated in, and been subjected to she still remained “human” in that she was not misguided by hate and anger but…
