“Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful.” In 50 A.D., a Roman philosopher, Lucius Seneca, quoted this statement that now translates into an accurate description for a predominant theme for The Canterbury Tales: the corruption in every day people. For example, Geoffrey Chaucer brings together all of the foibles and virtues of man and the manners and morals of his time with remarkable clarity. In summary, The Canterbury Tales is a…

A world full of pain and suffering, and female poet, novelist, and motive Sylvia Plath came to be one of today’s most powerful writers. She is very associated with confessional poetry, which is a style of writing in which authors focus on themselves and detailed issues in their personal lives; she gets as personal as talking about her suicidal thoughts and wishes for death– even upon others!

Additionally, Giroux argues that under neoliberalism, “narcissism is replaced by unadulterated materialism, public concerns collapse into utterly private considerations and where public space does exist it is mainly used as a confessional for private woes, a cut throat game of winner take all, or a advertisement for consumerism” (Giroux 1).
