Robinson Crusoe

In the stories Romeo And Juliet and Flowers For Algernon, one thing I struggled to do was find a common theme. It took me almost an hour, but after close examination I realized one huge common theme I seemed to be blatantly ignoring. That theme was that relationships with others, both with humans and animals, are bound to end. There is many different ways the authors showed these themes in their story, but the ways I will be focusing on is through foreshadowing in the storyline, stereotyping and…

The notion that landscapes have the power to stimulate contemplation about human nature is clearly articulated in William Golding’s Lord of the Flies. Through subverting traditional adventure tropes from Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe to Ballantyne’s The Coral Island, Golding posits through his dystopian novel that landscapes, rather than delivering a sense of the sublime, provokes us to question our human condition and ultimately elucidate “traits that define humanity” (Orslen) – spite, insecurity,…

In this essay, let's see how Edgar Alan Poe wrote his famous poem, The Raven. In The Philosophy of Composition, he shows the techniques and the plan he used in the writing of the poem cited above. First of all, he says that before the beginning of the writing, the writer must already have in mind the denouement, which is, according to Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English, the exciting last part of a story or play.

Bishops’ Bible. All of Shakespeare’s plays contain important allusions to the Bible, just as they allude to classical works like Ovid’s Metamorphoses or Virgil’s Aeneid. The story is the old one of shipwreck on a desert island, like the later Robinson Crusoe or even Gilligan’s Island. Shakespeare’s interest in this plot has to do partly with exploring humanity in isolation from civilization. What happens when people are forced to fend for themselves, without the aid of law or civic institutions?…

Hello, Nick! Thanks for a sincere letter. I have never dreamt of solitude consciously in my life. Moreover, I used to dream of love, of home, of my own family, though presently I am so bitter disappointed and worn-out from a constant process of banal survival in which it seems I don’t succeed.

For example, I do not hear poems in my head any more, they merely don’t…
