In a dangerous turn, culture in the 21st century has recently shifted focus to the importance of the appearance of the individual rather than sincerity. In Giovanni’s life, there is a lack of tangible authenticity, which leads him to downward spiral into loneliness. For Truman, his single encounter with authenticity allows him to see how truly alone he has been.

As the population grew, the competition for land…

In both stories, the narrators in “The Tell-Tale Heart” and “The Black Cat” are portrayed as people who are insane and murderous, and despite appearing normal, they both state (whether it be directly or indirectly) that they are mentally unstable. In “The…

Scott Fitzgerald creates extravagant parties hosted by Jay Gatsby, demonstrating his constant loneliness and need for attention. In Jay Gatsby’s quest for recognition, he not only damages his strong ego but his well-being. A glamorous party masks an overwhelming sentiment of seclusion/isolation.
