Gothic literature originated in the 19th century and was a branch of the larger Romantic Movement. Like the Romantics, Gothic writers embraced the sublime nature and endeavored to evoke deep emotions in their readers.

Authors exploit isolated and grotesque settings, supernatural beings and events, combines romance and horror as well…

immune to emotional trauma. In a recent study conducted by community care on a survey of over 1000 social workers they found that 96% felt moderately or extremely stressed (Webber, “Stress in Social Work”). In an additional study conducted by Brian Bride, an assistant professor at the University Of Georgia: School Of Social Work, he found that out of 300 practicing social workers 15% of them met the diagnostic criteria for PTSD (Nauert, “Social Workers at Risk for PTSD”). People enter the…

A hero can be classified by many things. A hero can be superman, a police officer, and even your mom, but what makes a hero? Is it someone who can fly or shoot laser beams from their eyes or someone who saves a baby from a burning building?

All heroes, including super ones, all have something in common, they're admired for their courage or an outstanding thing…

The tone of their speeches change as Medea’s character shifts. At the beginning of the play, the chorus pleads with Medea to “drop her anger, / unburden her burning spirit, / let go of [the] weight of madness” (Eur. Med. 177-179). The tone is serious, but the weightiness comes from the concern of the chorus for Medea’s safety as they claim they will stand by their friendship with Medea (Eur. Med. 180). The…

reformations. Luther also has an interestingly dramatic attitude in the way he dealt with life situations. The Catholic Church has been through many ups and downs, but when Luther was called to be a monk the Catholic Church was failing in many ways to be the bride of Christ.

This eventually led to the Ninety-five Thesis, which was a list of reformations to…

Later, when Tesman confronts Hedda over the burning of Eilert Løevborg’s manuscript, Hedda exonerates herself by playing into the feminine stereotype of over-emotionality.

company that utilized a creator involved in stop motion was Tim Burton. Yes, he had other films but some of his work included stop motion to tell his stories. Be it in a short film, Vincent or long form like The Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride. The designs and characters just leaping out of his mind to create a world so detailed and one can admittedly say twisted, you need to sit back and enjoy the ride he takes you…

exhausted after a walk under a burning winter solstice, decides to take a dip in a violent river. Meehan once again gives life like characteristics to the waterfall, creating a mythical goddess of the river. At the beginning of the poem ‘he was heading for Bridal Veil Falls, an upward slog on a dusty path’ (52). Meehan’s manipulation of word choice provokes an image, which denotes a wedding veil also signifying virginity. Interestingly lifting the veil or cloaking the bride means the groom…
