One of the main themes throughout both the poem and the film was Moloch. The author introduces Moloch in his poem as a metaphor for all the terrible things that separate humanity from…

Whitman utilizes words such “I”, “myself” and his inner soul to generate a feel of being and depiction in specific sects of the poem. Whilst it…

In “Beat Up the Poor”, Baudelaire explores the idea that every man who does not accept the conditions of his life, sells his soul. This idea is mainly displayed in the beggar, as someone who does accept the conditions of his life and displays it by proving his worth to the narrator upon clashing.

There also really isn’t an accepted modern definition of the word. The Webster dictionary defines the word as “a person who is unusually aware of and interested in new and unconventional patterns (as in jazz or fashion).” However, urban dictionary says that hipsters “value independent thinking, counter-culture, progressive…
