Thoreau's Civil Disobedience: A Reassessment, Thomas Aquinas Murawski

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Thoreau’s case is easy in one sense and difficult in another. One of the chief attractions of Civil Disobedience, and one of its necessary limitations, lies in its prophetic quality. Recent American history has confirmed Thoreau’s good judgment in abhorring state-supported racism and a questionable war. But in sympathizing with his outrage over these conditions, we are spared the difficult test to our forbearance that arises when others dissent against issues that lack the persuasive moral justification of Thoreau’s case. So in this respect at least, Thoreau presents a comparatively easy case. His case is difficult in that he minimizes …

Social Protest In Three Novels Of Carlos Fuentes, Jane Hamilton Rule

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Carlos Fuentes is one of Mexico' s current fiction writers and to many he is controversial in that he delves into several of Mexico's great preoccupations: the Revolution, the search for lo mexicano and the future for this growing country.

Structural Cohesion In Arnold Bennett's Clayhanger Trilogy, Laura Maurine Green

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

This paper will demonstrate how Bennett’s “circumstantial” history of his age, as it streams by the reader, is controlled, analyzed, and interpreted. The framework of characters and events stand firm, their foundations solid in the systematic working-out, through symbolism and irony, of Bennett’s conviction that there is a “cause and effect” relationship between the physical environment and the character and sociological evolution and the character. Bennett writes that “the spirit of literature… enforces a moral wisdom by tracing everywhere of cause and effect.” The structures of characters and events are raised, reinforced, illuminated, inspected, and photographed through the use of …

Milton And The Classical Tradition : An Annotated Bibliography, Mary Lou Myrick

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Because of the mainly scholarly studies of Milton’s works, and the many questions that have yet to be resolved, an annotated bibliography of Milton’s classicism is indispensable in enabling one to survey the ground that has been covered and to clarify the issues further. The observation that John M. Steadman makes about Paradise Lost also applies to Milton’s entire canon.

The items in this bibliography are organized in five categories: (1) epic, (2) tragedy, (3) prose, (4) minor poetry, and (5) general criticism. Listings within these categories are alphabetical.

Boys Will Be Boys Or How They Are Portrayed In Children’S Books, Nancy Volmer

Graduate Research Papers

For this research the author was concerned with the portrayal of males in literature; more specifically, the characterization of boys in children's books. The researcher wanted to find out if boys are represented realistically and if the characteristics of boys in fiction have changed over time. The books selected were fiction and the reading level ranged from fourth to sixth grade. The main character of each book was a male figure of approximately ten years of age. There were two time periods from which the books were selected. One grouping was from 1959-1963 and the other from 1970-1974. Other books …

Heirs, Ruth West Cole

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

A creative project has been undertaken for a learning experience in order to better understand and appreciate past and contemporary works of fiction and attendant problems of fabulation for the ultimate purpose of improving guidance of students through literary studies. The project, a novel, demonstrates an attempt to dramatize part of the contemporary phenomenon of the individual's search for "self" within a family whose members rebel against or accommodate themselves to varying perceptions of authoritarian endoctrination and expectation. Although the major characters are women, Heirs is not designed to be a women's liberation story. Rather, the novel is a comic …

A Study Of The Loss-Of-Innocence Theme In Selected Novels Of Robert Penn Warren, Beverly S. Fisher

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Using Mordecai Marcus's ''What Is an Initiation Story?" and R. W. B. Lewis's The American Adam to define the loss of innocence, this study follows the protagonists of three Robert Penn Warren novels-- Wilderness, World Enough and Time, and All the King's Men--through their steps from innocence to knowledge, initiation, or the loss of innocence. A similar pattern is seen in the lives of Adam Rosenzweig, Jeremiah Beaumont, and Jack Burden. Each is well beyond the age normally associated with initiation and has gone through experiences which should have caused the loss of innocence. Each has refused the initiation (at …

The Prospector And The Pioneer: A Key To The Selected Short Stories Of Bret Harte, Emeline Beisman

English Language and Literature ETDs

My dissertation deals with the contrast between what I designate as the "prospector" and the "pioneer" or the transient and rooted elements of the frontier. The tensions between these two ways of life, I believe, provide an insight into Harte's fiction as indicated by the ten stories I discuss--"The Luck of Roaring Camp," "The Outcasts of Poker Flat," "Tennessee's Partner," "Brown of Calaveras," "Miggles," "The Idyl of Red Gulch," "How Santa Claus Came to Simpson's Bar," "Wan Lee, the Pagan," "A Passage in the Life of Mr. John Oakhurst," and “A Protégée of Jack Hamlin's." The opening chapter includes my …

A Theory Of The Perception Of Character, Donna C. Brown

Dissertations and Theses

In this thesis, the critical term "character" is defined from a reader's perspective as a process involving three elements: (1) syntactical character, the printed words that delimit character in the order in which they occur; (2) spatial character, these printed words organized in the reader's mind into a pattern. These two together are called grammatical character; and (3) a mental image that results from reading these printed words.
