As mentioned earlier, Fitz broke down the strategies so that the reader could understand what was not told in the poem. He also suggested within his writing, that the poem was originally written as a means for entertaining and educating people in the medieval era. This is similar to the aim of the Chronicle of the Czechs by Cosmas of Prague. In which Cosmas broke down the history of the Czech and used…
“Did you mean it when you said you wanted to help?” (35) This quote sank into me later when she ties it into the ending. It is one of those stories that you pick up on all the clues at the very end. Though I am not the biggest fan of this type of writing, she was able to keep a realist reader, like myself,…
Contemporary feminist utopian writing can better translate the rising consciousness of women writers who try to establish a critical distance from the traditional static feminist utopias such as Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s Herland. Critical utopia is self-critical rather than self-contradictory…

This story time is 1793 therefore I can see how Matilda’s grandfather would…

Theme could be called the greatest literary element. Through its use, fiction has the ability to mean something outside of the narrative itself. Because of theme, fiction is meaningful, enlightening, and in many cases applicable to the lives of readers. The greatest literature is of the variety that keeps on giving even after it is returned to the shelf. “The Rocking Horse Winner,” “Ozymandias,” and Death of a Salesman are three such narratives. Though each represents a different fictional…
