The two biggest contrasts employed within this literary work are those of Athens and the forest.

On the other hand, the forest, especially at night, expresses the more mystical and magical side of…

The Fire and the Rain takes Karnad’s vision about the quest for completeness forward and exhibits him in serene hues as Shakespeare appears in his later work, The Tempest where a Miranda’s innocence is protected by Prospero throughout the play right from her encounter with Ferdinand. It moves in a circle around a central point of revenge, futility of knowledge and frugalness of human nature. Through this play Karnad tries to focus self-centered prevailing in the contemporary society by…

wisely. Figurative language helps bring out every character’s individual traits and personality. In Don’t Call Me Ishmael by Michael Gerard Bauer, it is clear that Ishmael’s low self-esteem and James Scobie’s debating skills are constantly emphasized by Bauer’s use of similes and metaphors.

The author uses a great deal of figurative language to expose…

Iago entirely discredits Othello’s love for Desdemona, saying “[i]t is merely a lust of the blood and a permission of the / will. Come, be a man” (1.3.325-326). Given that up until this moment, Othello has acted in a noble manner, his rash behaviour with Desdemona contradicts his whole verse-speaking mannerism. Sneaking out with her…

This is true in the Shakespeare play Much Ado About Nothing, when Claudio forfeits his marriage to Hero and sacrifices a life of happiness with her because he suspects her of infidelity. His willingness to abandon her reveals in him pride and a deep value for female chastity. Claudio’s pride in his power and control, as well as his rigid conformity to societal…

In chapter 52 of East of Eden, Abra talks to Cal about why she no longer loves Aron. She says that, in childhood, their story like dreams of marriage and a happy future satisfied her. But, as she grew older, she grew to realize that she wanted more than to live in a story. This really spoke to me, as the discussion of reality and fantasy intrigues me. I find Abra’s decision to face reality and want to live in it extremely admirable, as fantasy is so often much more appealing and tempting.…
