Browning's Uses Of Humor., Paul Edward Coggins

English Language and Literature ETDs

Five of the major theories which attempt to explain laughter are those of superiority, contrast, release, enlightenment, and instinct. One seldom finds a single theory that will satisfactorily explain all of our reasons for laughing in response to a particular work. More often than not, a combina­tion of appeals will be found necessary to take into account the complexity of what occurs between impetus and reaction. The overall aim in tracing out some of these major theories of humor and in trying to "place" Browning in relationship to them is to verify the contention that uses of humor, at practically …

An Analysis Of The Themes Of Guilt And Atonement In The Writings Of Tennessee Williams, James Curry

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The themes of guilt and atonement have been analyzed in selected writings of Tennessee Williams. Research concerning these two themes has been developed simultaneously with Williams’s concept of the universe and man. Many of Williams’s characters seek a form of atonement or purification for their guilt which has arisen due to their “incompleteness and unnatural desires.” Williams’s basic concept concerning the universe is that it is fragmented, a universe not completed by its Creator. Consequently, Williams envisions man and his nature to be likewise incomplete. It is this incompletion in man which causes him to have “unnatural desires,” labeled as …

Shakespeare's Treatment Of Love : The Mature Tragedies, Albert E. Clark

Master's Theses

The machinery of criticism has been extensively applied to those plays in the Shakespeare canon often referred to as the mature tragediess Othello, Macbeth, Hamlet, and Antony and Cleopatra, One seeking enlightenment in veritably any area of interest will find the means in the varied approaches which have proliferated through four hundred years of Shakespeare criticism. New and valid interpretations testify to a continuing need for insight into Shakespeare's arts nevertheless,. the word "supererogatory" must surely have occurred to even the moat resilient seeker after Shakespearean truth. A spate of learned articles and scholarly tomes inundate, and the burden is …

Consciousness And The Unconscious: Henry James And Jungian Psychology, Marlene L. Hall

English Language and Literature ETDs

James's early, middle, and late works demonstrate the author's continuing interest in what have become specific Jungian archetypes. This interest, which centers upon the consciousness-expanding potential of the archetype, is most completely expressed in James's "major phase" novels. Here the anima, the shadow, and the mask, as well as other Jungian archetypes, take the form of specific images and personfications, both helpful and harmful. And, when The Awkward Age, the last long novel of James's middle period, is read with the "major phase" novels, the total effect, without destroying the completeness of any single novel, mythopoetically suggests the history of …

Graduate Education And New Jobs In Education, Paul A. Olson

Department of English: Faculty Publications

Teacher education has too largely concerned itself with a study of schooling rather than a study of education. In the next generation, given the concerns that I’ve talked about, we’re going to have to look much more intensively, on the one hand, at how much human beings learn as biological creatures and, on the other hand, at all the cultural and legal constraints on learning that exist. We will look at education in industry, in the community, in community action programs, in the tribal council, education through ritual, and through play, as well as through public schooling. The job of …

Reconstructing Shabazz : Images Of The Black Man In Four Black Plays, Joyce Wise

Master's Theses

It has been conjectured that, if art follows life, the black theatre is a case in point. Critic-playwright Lindsay Patterson has stated that all of black literature is more or less consciously preoccupied with precisely pinpointing and defining the specific moment when a black man discovers he is a "nigger" and begins the "long, uphill climb to bring psychological order out of chaos."

"It is an elusive, complex moment, with complex reactions, and can occur at four or forty, and its pursuit, I believe, will continue to occupy serious black writers for decades to come."

Thus, dramatizing the black experience …

Milton's Eve : A Comparison With Eve In The Major Analogues Preceding Paradise Lost, Charlene Dellinger Wheeler

Master's Theses

Milton's character of Eve in Paradise Lost has been interpreted by critics as both the vehicle for Milton's abuse of women, and the example of Milton's favoritism towards them. The great variety of interpretations of the same character seems to be the result of not considering Milton's Eve as a combination of qualities gathered from both the Biblical and literary traditions and influenced by Milton's theological beliefs and his intentions for Paradise Lost. By comparing Milton's Eve with her major predecessors, this thesis will interpret Milton's characterization according to the literary history of the character, and show how Milton's particular …

Jews In The Mirror: From Hatred To Reconciliation In American-Jewish Fiction., Joseph D. Gallo

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Isaac Rosenfeld's short novel The Colony¹ is an orwellian allegory which on a significant level explores the range of attitudes expressed by contemporary Jews toward themselves and other Jews. Set in an exotic fictional country on the Indian subcontinent, the narrative pits the intellectual Satya, successor to a prophet-like leader, against the machinations of a controlling technology given to efficiency and the waging of modern war. During a rally at which he urges his audience to passively "despise and disobey," Satya is seized and imprisoned, whereupon his true ordeal begins. He is accosted by foes even more formidable than …

Transformational Technique In Gabriel Fielding's "In The Time Of Greenbloom", May Grant Robbie

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Gabriel Fielding's In the Time of Greenbloom is a major twentieth century novel that has received literary critical attention. With its dramatic plot and colorful characters, it has an immediate surface appeal for most readers. The novel requires deeper, symbolical reading in order to reach its central theme, man's potential for transformation.

John Blaydon, the protagonist, is a very different young man at the end of the novel from the child he is at the beginning. His activities, the narrative base of the novel, reveal more than the external events of his life. Fielding uses them as objectification of confrontations …

Jerzy Kosinski’S The Devil Tree: A Work Of Art?, Tom G. Colonnese

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Jerzy Kosinski Is fourth novel, The Devil Tree, is widely regarded as both a technical and imaginative failure. Rather than being an artistic failure, The Devil Tree is in fact a fully mature and variant expression of Kosinski's art. Some of Kosinski's earlier fame was due to a humanistic misreading of his work. But The Devil Tree made it painfully clear that Kosinski 's own ethic-- particularly when concerned with self-realization - was of another order. Interpreted in the full light of his career it can be seen that Kosinski 's The Devil Tree is the logical outcome of both …

The Indestructible Woman In The Works Of Faulkner, Hemingway, And Steinbeck., Mimi Reisel Gladstein

English Language and Literature ETDs

American male novelists, according to the critical commonplace, have difficulty creating fully human females. Critics indict Faulkner, Hemingway, and Steinbeck as prime examples of this deficiency. Though their works represent distinct styles, focuses, and subject matters, these three writers do have some striking similarities beyond their alleged inability to allow full humanity to their female characters. They all express a pervasive disillusionment with contemporary society and project generally pessimistic world images. However, each author has certain optimistic undertones: mankind’s ability to endure is one of them. A recurrent manifestation of this theme ls the indestructible woman.

The indestructible woman, a …
