twentieth-century feminism. It displays the history of women in literature through a series of analysis in which Woolf stresses that social and material necessities are vital in order for women to survive in the world dominated by the patriarchal. As a modernist writer, Woolf in her essay innovatively depicts an account of a woman’s thinking about the history of women. Woolf’s narrative process of using fictitious character heightens the importance of others in the essay so that it will reach…

Nick Carraway, states in the first pages of the book that “life is much more successfully looked at from a single window, after all”. In this paper, I will demonstrate that this sentence has a deeper meaning in the forthcoming events described in the novel and that Nick is not such a rational or trustworthy character as he claims to be. Paying close attention to the quote and analyzing it in detail, the narrator lets the reader know that life becomes simpler when there is just one…

‘Word’ is definitely an interesting concept in The Crying of Lot 49, simply because of the myriad of analyses and meanings it received (cf. Grant 2008; Schaub 2013). What perhaps then is even more intriguing is its reappearance in Pynchon’s latest novel, Bleeding Edge, almost half a century later: ‘[Maxine is talking in DeepArcher to an enigmatic woman, after September 11. The woman says:] “Only here to have a look. Find out how long I can stay just at the edge of the beginning before the Word,…

Parisian and Hemingway’s influences, John Glassco in Memoirs of Montparnasse endeavored to find and regain power over his narrative.

Therefore, Memoirs of Montparnasse are…

In the modernism era of literature (1914-1945) William Faulkner wrote several books, short stories, and articles about children, families, sex, race, with fixations and life in the south. I did not feel that “A Rose for Emily” should have been selected to appear in literature books or curriculums for college or high school for that time period. This short story was not a “yardstick” For literature in this era. William Faulkner refuses to discuss his works in interviews. He does not like to…

From my viewpoint the central conflict of Travesties is the fight between the protagonist of the play, Henry Carr, and Joyce. The historical Carr is a minor figure. He had a minor role in the British Consulate during the war but plays a major role in Zurich production of Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest staged by James Joyce. The production was a success, but Carr and Joyce ended up going to court because they had disagreements about clothing and the price for the show tickets. This…

She states, “Often when I have been writing one of my so called novels I have been baffled by this same problem; that is, how to describe what I call in my private shorthand—‘non-being’” (Woolf, “To The Lighthouse”; Autobiographical writings, 1939(page 70)). These moments of non-being, according to examples offered by Woolf herself, seem to refer to the events that occur but are not readily recalled. Woolf describes moments of being by explaining a day when she vividly remembered certain details…
