Lost in Austen

1920s The Lost Generation. Oh Faulkner, Hemmingway, and Fitzgerald we call them lost because of their questions about manhood.

This current generation has questions, no they aren’t questions about manhood, but questions about what social interaction really is, and what will it mean in our lives. In Ernest Hemmingway’s novel, The Sun Also Rises, Hemmingway shows how for even a, supposedly, morally lost…

Adam and Eve were the first two humans made by the hand of God and people have believed this ever since the existence of the Bible. Jesus died for our sins and told us that those who do not sin and worship his Father may go to heaven. God sent down Jesus to tell his followers to follow Him and Jesus because then they may go to heaven.Why is it that Satan is viewed as when he has done nothing wrong? Is he a fall guy? Why do we look down on Satan when he hasn’t killed anyone? Satan only gave Adam…

Victor Frankenstein is quite an interesting character. At first he was considered as a Hero because of his idea of bringing back dead to life which was driven out of hunger for more knowledge (30) and as well as his mother’s death (25). In my opinion I can’t really conclude that Victor is an anti-hero or possess a villainous qualities, because he does not really lack the sense of nobility of a mind and spirit, he also loves his family and friends dearly and didn’t intend to hurt anyone. He is…

'Study after Velazquez's Portrait of Pope Innocent X 1953' is an art piece created by Irish painter Francis Bacon. The focus of this nightmarish image is the face of the Pope which is set in a ghoulish scream of silent pain as he sits in what seems to be and electric chair. In Bacons adaptation he has painted dark, thin drapes which enclose the pope to silently scream in existential agony. These drapes could symbolise the calignosity that has seeped into the Catholic system casting a shadow over…

Frankenstein I have come to my own conclusion. The creation in this novel is not a human being, but has human attributes. Victor’s creation is used as a contrast between creature and maker. As Victor’s obsession with the creation of life overtook his life he lost touch with all humanistic attributes, however when the creature came to be it was a reverse of Frankenstein, entirely. Throughout the process of building this creature, Victor completely neglecting the ones he loved and on top of that…

Edward Scissor hands and Frankenstein Paper When we view ourselves in the mirror we fix our faces and admire it, take a simple look and move on while others stare into their eyes questioning themselves with why they are on earth as they are.

In both the works of Frankenstein and Edward Siccorhands they both adhere to similar obstacles within society, their intentions for love and…

Satan mentioned in the time before a head angel would be chosen that…
