Fitzgerald's Use Of The Four Elements In The Great Gatsby, John Philip Hawkins Jan 1979

Fitzgerald's Use Of The Four Elements In The Great Gatsby, John Philip Hawkins

Masters Theses

A great deal has been written about the conscientious effort that went into the design of F. Scott Fitzgerald's popular novel, The Great Gatsby, with its various allusions and numerous symbols. A careful reading of this novel will unveil the author's preoccupation with numerous metaphysical images, particularly the four elements--air, earth, water, and fire--which are considered to be the essential components of all matter.

Fitzgerald uses the four elements in The Great Gatsby to coordinate mood and physical settings, to give dimension to the settings, and to bring characters into sharper focus. The novel employs four settings, each one …


Saul Bellow's Henderson The Rain King: A Fusion Of The Comic And The Serious, George William Russo Jan 1979

Saul Bellow's Henderson The Rain King: A Fusion Of The Comic And The Serious, George William Russo

Masters Theses

Bellow's comic vision points to a compromise between the romantic notion that self-perfection is attainable and the pessimistic notion that man is ultimately impotent and thus destined to fail. Through Henderson, Bellow shows that although man does not--and ultimately cannot--completely free himself of somatic demands and limitations, he is nevertheless not defeated by them and thus not left a victim of emotionless observations.

Bellow draws upon four sources in Henderson's nature to create the humor in the novel and highlights Eugene Henderson as a comic hero by dramatizing that Henderson proves to be his own ironist. These sources can be …

A Question Of Influence: William Cowper Brann And Henry Louis Mencken, Dale Owen Bishop Jan 1979

A Question Of Influence: William Cowper Brann And Henry Louis Mencken, Dale Owen Bishop

Theses and Dissertations

A major critic of H. L. Mencken and a co-worker of his on the Baltimore Sun have both theorized that Mencken was influenced by a little-remembered Texas iconoclast who was assassinated in 1898, William Cowper Brann. Investigation revealed that Brann and Mencken agreed on many topics such as Prohibition, politics and religion among others. Mencken's early style compares well with Brann's, and they shared many techniques and preferences for particular words standard in the debunker's vocabulary. Research revealed that Mencken even published an article in 1900, at the age of twenty, in the magazine that had formerly been published by …


Backwaters: Four Stories And A Play, Gregory Paul Gerjerts Jan 1979

Backwaters: Four Stories And A Play, Gregory Paul Gerjerts

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

It is not often that extended, authorial remarks introduce an individual volume of fiction. When they do they are more often self-serving than illuminative; inappreciable than noteworthy. As such they occasion no particular response in the reader save for a scant sense of relief once the obligation to read them is met, an unhappy situation: one is not obligated to read fiction, but once the book is opened, there they can be, the prolegomenous remarks, menacingly tucked between cover and content, piquing. These will not be protracted. If one feels obligated to read them, one should also know that the …

To Grips, Mike Shearer Nov 1978

To Grips, Mike Shearer

English Language and Literature ETDs

To Grips, presented here in part, is a novel based somewhat on the character of Dorothy Parker but projected beyond Parker's lifespan. Josie Palmer, the central character, is turning eighty years old and is forcing herself through a transformation involved with what are the themes of the novel: aging, privacy, and individualism.
