Baited and Lured Aristophanes said, “Hunger knows no friend but its feeder” (BrainyQuote). In “Saint Marie (1934): Marie Lazarre,” from the novel Love Medicine by Louise Erdrich, begins with Marie Lazarre following the Nuns up the hill to the Sacred Heart Convent where she will become a protégé, not for the intentions of salvation, but to prevent Sister Leopolda from getting into heaven. In this story brimmed with layers of irony, Erdrich uses fishing and baiting imagery to demonstrate the ambition and hunger within Marie in her goal to rise above Sister Leopolda. Erdrich provides instances in which fishing and/or baiting is used to relate to the theme of religion, Marie’s ambitions, and the relationship between Marie and the Nuns, especially concerning Sister Leopolda. Religion is crucial to keep in mind when approaching this story. It is deeply rooted into the framework and, though not out of the intentions to be saved, but to have Sister Leopolda kneeling before her, is the primary focus of Marie’s time spent with the Sacred Heart Convent. The beginning line “when I went there, I knew the dark fish must rise,” was the first use of this imagery (Erdrich, 823). Although this metaphor is unclear as to whether fish is plural or singular, it can be seen as foreshadow into Marie’s ascent into saint-hood and her rise above the Sisters of the Convent. Marie is the bait. The sisters are the dark fish that are rising up to take the bait. As the story progress, it is learned that…

The revolt of the Northern Earls was caused by the gentry: Northumberland and Cumberland against William Cecil. In the same way, Pilgrimage of Grace had a subsidiary cause of faction. Henry’s divorce with Catherine of Aragon and disinheritance of Mary alarmed the Aragonist faction. This implied that they would lose power in court without Catherin or Mary on crown. Northumberland and Cumberland demanded the return of political power in the north and wealth as this would ensure a restoration of…

The reader’s first glimpse of how Heathcliff treats Catherine Linton is when he commands her to get the tea ready in a tone “uttered so savagely that I [Mr. Lockwood] started” (11). At this point in the story, the reader is not aware of Heathcliff’s diabolical nature, but it is made evident that he is a menacing character that will play a role in the theme of the story. When Heathcliff imprisons Catherine and Ellen in Wuthering Heights, Catherine’s bold behavior compels her to snatch the key…

tried to keep Heathcliff at the bottom and a rather detestable human being. Most notably at this was Hindley, who had never really took a liking to the strange gypsy child his father brought home after a long journey. After Mr. Earnshaw died Hindley began to put Heathcliff where he thought he belonged, down on the bottom with the servants. This action drove Heathcliff to be increasingly despondent and all in all a much ruder version of himself. An action that further drove Heathcliff to his rude…

In 1847 Emily Brontë published Wuthering Heights; a novel as eccentric as it is unsettling, its themes including the oppositional natures of horror and beauty, dreams and reality, hate and adoration, fused into one strange and dark novel. This essay is a comparative analysis of two film adaptations of Brontë’s novel; the thesis being the 1939 film adaptation, titled Wuthering Heights and directed by William Wyler, presents the story within the romance genre. By comparison the 2011 adaptation…

Jane too reflects gender roles. She is quiet and keeps to herself, whereas Mr. Rochester is social and outgoing. She often comments on how rash and candid she is. This is also noted by other characters in the novel. At all times it is seen as a flaw in her as a woman. Jane is unable to gain a good social and financial standing by herself. Her gender and class severely limit the number of jobs that she can do. She must inherit money from a relative, whereas the men can work and provide for…

in my power, I find the will to lift a slate off either roof has vanished! My old enemies have not beaten me; now would be the precise time to revenge myself on their representatives...But where is the use? I don’t care for striking: I can’t tkae the trouble to raise my hand!” (303). In other words, even though Heathcliff was able to use his influence over Catherine Linton and Hareton Earnshaw to destroy them, he saw no need to do so. Heathcliff was wronged for most of his life by the Lintons…
