Gertrude Stein

Sarah's post about how The female characters in Crime and Punishment are the backbones of the other characters, emphasizes the strength of Katerina and Sonia. I agree that the book definitely displays these characters as strong and independant, even more so than some of the male characters. I think that how the male characters percieve these female characters is necessary to get this point across.

In Hamlet, Act IV, Scene 7, Shakespeare portrays Ophelia’s death as a metaphor of corruption through diction and literary techniques.

The maids call one of the flowers making up the crown “dead men’s fingers” (195). After this line, “weeds/weedy” and “coronet/trophies” take place of flowery words such as “fantastic garlands” (196-198).…
