Cather's New World Cultural Exploitation Vs. Cultural Cohesion In Sapphira And The Slave Girl, The Professor's House And Shadows On The Rock, Alexandra Meighan Aug 1998

Cather's New World Cultural Exploitation Vs. Cultural Cohesion In Sapphira And The Slave Girl, The Professor's House And Shadows On The Rock, Alexandra Meighan

Theses & Honors Papers

Three of Cather’s works, Sapphira and the Slave Girl, The professor’s House, and Shadows on the Rock distinguish two civilizations in North America. This thesis examines the mental and physical abuses of African American slavery imposed on its victims in Sapphira and the Slave Girl. In The Professor’s House, the abuse and neglect with which America has treated Native Americans is revealed. Shadows on the Rock demonstrates the cultural superiority and cohesiveness of the French settlement described. In the works, Cather creates powerful contrasts between the American and Canadian societies within the New World. Her comparisons suggest that …


"Anything Dead Coming Back To Life Hurts": Ghosts And Memory In Hamlet And Beloved, Rebecca Boyd Aug 1998

"Anything Dead Coming Back To Life Hurts": Ghosts And Memory In Hamlet And Beloved, Rebecca Boyd

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Ghost stories are an ingrained part of most cultures because, typically, humans must be forced to confront those elements of their individual and communal past that they would prefer to ignore. Accordingly, ghosts have embodied weaknesses and hidden evils that must be assimilated and transcended, and writers have embroidered a variety of subtexts upon the traditional fabric of ghostlore. Specifically, both William Shakespeare's Hamlet and Toni Morrison's Beloved employ ghosts as symbols of man's archetypal desire to hide his past. A careful examination of the texts in these ghost stories, of the cultural folklore included, and of the ghosts' influence …


"Fellow-Craftsmen" : A Study Of The Personal And Professional Relationship Between Mary Johnston And Ellen Glasgow, Catherine G. Costantino Aug 1998

"Fellow-Craftsmen" : A Study Of The Personal And Professional Relationship Between Mary Johnston And Ellen Glasgow, Catherine G. Costantino

Master's Theses

Biographers and critics tend to vary widely on the attention given to the personal, intellectual, and literary significance of the friendship between Ellen Glasgow and Mary Johnston. In this thesis, the author argues that the two women, obviously drawn together because of personal and professional similarities, shared intellectual interests, a passion for writing, and certainly nurtured each other's creativity. By providing extensive evidence from Mary Johnston's unpublished diaries, notebooks, and journals, as well evidence from the abundance of published and unpublished correspondence between the two women, this thesis refutes past critical assessments and establishes that the relationship between Glasgow and …


"Painted Fire": Fire Imagery In Life On The Mississippi And A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court, Deborah T. Ketchum Jul 1998

"Painted Fire": Fire Imagery In Life On The Mississippi And A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court, Deborah T. Ketchum

Theses & Honors Papers

Fire imagery appears throughout Twain’s literature, becoming stronger as he matures. Twain’s novel reveals the trauma and guilt felt. Life on the Mississippi shows how the author turned a traumatic memory into various literary devices. A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court uses a traumatic memory to develop complex imagery and symbolism. Both books demonstrate the complex writing skills of Mark Twain as he develops dire into a dual creation that represents both positive and negative events, sometimes simultaneously. Fire becomes and interesting element that provides laughter even as causes tears, that cleanses and creates even as it destroys, and …

Ngugi Wa Thiong’O., John C. Hawley Jul 1998

Ngugi Wa Thiong’O., John C. Hawley

English

Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o was born the fifth child of the third of his father's four wives; he had twenty-seven siblings. The family lived in Kamiriithu Village, twelve miles northeast of Nairobi, Kenya. His father, Thiong'o wa Nducu, was a peasant farmer dispossessed by the British Imperial Land Act of 1915 and therefore forced to become a squatter on property meted out to one of the few native Africans who had profited from the act. His father's condition was similar to that of most of the Kikuyu with whom Ngũgĩ grew up.
