Edgar Allan Poe does not qualify as a gothic fiction author because in his short stories, the character and conflict do not fit the criteria to make it a gothic story. To start, in some of Poe’s stories, the evil is not always destroyed, but instead takes over the protagonist. Edgar Allan Poe’s short story, “The Masque of the Red Death” states that Prince Prospero was killed by the Red Death and then it killed everyone else, and the Red Death “held illimitable dominion over all” (4). In a…

Race, Socioeconomic class, and Identity in Toni Morrison, Song of Solomon I have interacted with the characters of Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison. My views of the story relate to Macon Dead racism, Pilate identity, and Guitar socioeconomic class. The characters come from different background some similar to myself. I have made my own opinion about Toni Morrison characters based on racism, social economic class and the identity. First of all, take for example two related events in Toni…

A person only truly becomes an adult when they become mature enough to act like one. “Most people think that becoming an adult is all about age, but in all actuality it is their level of maturity that maters” (S.P Jester page # 3) This quote is a good example of the importance of maturity because it explains that physical age is not as important as mental age. Becoming an adult is not just about age, it's about a person's level of maturity and their ability to handle…

Revenge is an interesting and overwhelming emotion people experience in their lifetime. From businessmen damaging the reputations of those who have rejected them, to students gunning down their own classmates in school hallways, revenge is malicious, dark, and violent craving people carry as a form of establishing justice to transform their humiliation into pride. Although many people believe bringing retribution to another helps release stress and escape conflict, revenge actually causes more…

Ender’s Game so far is more diverse and different than any other book I’ve read, which is a very good thing and one of the many reasons why I am enjoying this novel so far. The book is set in a school in space made for kids that have the potential to become great commanders and soldiers, anybody sent there will stay there until they finish their training which may be until they’re eighteen or until they iced/booted off. This give me the sense of urgency, like they don’t have much time to waste…

against him so that they may profit from his work. One ‘ranch hand’ who has more power than Candy is Carlson. Candy’s handicap of not having a right hand is intentionally repeated by Steinbeck throughout the story. Carlson has the qualities of a Jester archetype. Carlson only worries about what is currently happening, while occasionally cracking a joke. Carlson is the only man who complains about the smell of Candy’s dog, saying that the “stink hangs around [the bunkhouse] even after he’s gone”…

A wonderful jester, after the concert , he quickly speaks to the security guard…

In Kay Boyle the “Astronomer’s Wife,” and Charlotte Perkins Gilman “The Yellow Wallpaper,” both shared some similarities in their marriage of feeling lonely, does not have a voice or feel invisible by their patterns. Perhaps society norms on how men and women in a marriage should behave can lead to a lack of equality in a marriage. In the “Astronomer’s Wife,” by Kay Boyle. Mrs. Ames…
