‘The Tell-Tale Heart’ is an American classic of the Gothic fiction, first published in 1843 by Edgar Allen Poe. Poe combines his own lifetime experience of bereavement, human despair and troubled human relationships into one disturbing, yet engaging first-person narrative told by an unreliable narrator. Poe’s use of first-person narration is essential to enlightening the audience as the narrative exemplifies an internal monologue of the disturbing mentality of a man who claims to be “sane.”…

Joe Gillis: A Character Study Joe Gillis is one of the most interesting characters to ever grace the silver screen, and a character that is still studied to this day. While Gloria Swanson’s historic performance of Norma Desmond garners more attention and praise, I would make the argument that William Holden’s portrayal of Joe Gillis is just as intriguing. Billy Wilder created a character that I have never been so unsure of, he is one of the great examples of the anti-hero. He’s not a great guy,…

When one reads a story, there are two things that affect how one interprets the story. There is the tone of the story and how the story is written. The tone of the story is set by the person who narrates the story. Thus, the narrator oversees how the reader interprets the story and how the reader is given the story. When the narrator is a reliable source of information, the reader gets the full story without bias and the narrator is impartial. However, when the narrator is unreliable due to…

Having Jack as the narrator in the novel Room brings a juvenile point of view to the text that is avant-garde. Meaning that his point of view is innovative. It can be seen as controversial, where he is restricted as an observer, because his mind is not fully developed yet, and he is still learning. One might confuse this as unreliable. But the fact that Jack is an inexperienced individual in his setting, it is the tension in this that makes both him as the narrator and the story more compelling.…

Society tends to discriminate against outsiders or the minority, and abandon them unless they take advantage of them like Pelayo and Elisenda did once they found it was possible for them to be rich by making the old man be their own circus act which had put him in a humiliating place. Everyone in this part of the story does not treat the angel like something…

Uncovering an accurate example of femininity in literature is difficult, especially when inspecting novels written during previous centuries, authored in predominately patriarchal societies.

Henry James’ The Turn of the Screw affords the opportunity to explore feminist ideals with the interesting…
