C.S. Lewis And The Transcendence Of Irony, Roland M. Kawano Apr 1979

C.S. Lewis And The Transcendence Of Irony, Roland M. Kawano

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

Takes off from H.L. Weatherby’s study of Lewis’s and Eliot’s relations to medieval literature, in suggesting that Lewis’s response to the modern gap between idea and image is to transcend irony in his own work. Discusses four aspects of Lewis: “the doctrine of stock responses, the reaction of Lewis to the doctrine of the unchanging human heart, the impersonal theory, and his experiment with various ways of reading."

"Fair Terms & A Villain's Mind:" Shylock In Perspective, Montreva Calhoun Apr 1979

"Fair Terms & A Villain's Mind:" Shylock In Perspective, Montreva Calhoun

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

While The Merchant of Venice has long been one of Shakespeare's most popular plays, it has also been one of the most controversial with Shylock being the hub of the conflict. Critics have long been arguing whether this great character is a tragic hero or a larger-than-life villain. Those opting for the first often believe the playwright guilty of anti-semitism, and those following the latter consider Shylock the embodiment of evil. Very few critics have viewed this character as three dimensional, possessing human dignity as well as a capacity for evil.

The first chapter reveals the many sources for both …
