The Devil In The Forest: How Le Guin Subverts A Tired Trope, Andrew Debella
The Devil In The Forest: How Le Guin Subverts A Tired Trope, Andrew Debella
UKL: The Journal of Ursula K. Le Guin Studies
Scholars understand Ursula K. Le Guin's 1972 The Word for World is Forest as a critique of settler-colonial history, but no academic interest has been given to how this novel also comments on the American religious imagination. This article reveals that Le Guin's allegory to Vietnam replicates the 'devil in the forest' trope to expose how a religiously inspired good/evil dichotomy shaped xenophobic attitudes toward the Vietnamese during the 1970s. By tracing the depictions of Native Americans through American fiction and Captivity Narratives, this article further demonstrates how Le Guin’s novel deploys similar tropes to expose and critique their influence …
Weavers And Deceivers: Spiders In Le Guin’S Writings, Kris Swank
Weavers And Deceivers: Spiders In Le Guin’S Writings, Kris Swank
UKL: The Journal of Ursula K. Le Guin Studies
The spider was one of Le Guin’s principal symbols which she used in her novels, short stories, poems and essays. Unlike Tolkien’s spiders—which are uniformly huge, black, predatory, devouring and feminized— Le Guin’s various spiders, rather, exhibit an interplay of male and female, dark and light. Le Guin’s male spider figures largely derive their characteristics from negative medieval European perceptions, while her female spider figures are largely derived from positive Native American legends of Spider Woman, the mother and nurturer of humankind. Among her multiple interpretations of the spider is also a naturalistic one of the web-spinner and innate artist, …

The Cultural And Rhetorical Elements Of American Picaresque, Cory James Dahlstrom
The Cultural And Rhetorical Elements Of American Picaresque, Cory James Dahlstrom
Dissertations and Theses @ UNI
The picaresque is a literary genre with a long and rich history. Although protean in nature, it is essentially the fictional autobiography of a likeable delinquent or rogue, who survives a series of adventures and a life of hardships by his or her wits and affinity for trickery. Stemming from a long line of tropes dating back to Greek mythology, the picaresque comes into its own fruition towards the end of the Spanish Golden Age with the anonymous publication of Lazarillo de Tormes (1554). Since then, the antihero of the picaresque, the picaro, has become a literary figure across a …
Female Hysteria Across Cultures And Periods In American Literature, Jessica Daine Droogsma
Female Hysteria Across Cultures And Periods In American Literature, Jessica Daine Droogsma
Honors Program Theses
Modernity would like us to believe we are in control: you can be whatever you want if you work hard enough; you are in charge of your own destiny; practice makes perfect; if you don’t like something, change it; you are what you eat. These popular aphorisms reflect our society’s addiction to self-determinism. We are completely set on the idea that we create and direct our own lives. However, there are larger influences in the world which are sometimes out of our control. The government, the media, society as a collective, and other such establishments have power over the individual. …
The Basil And Josephine Stories: Fitzgerald's Incompatible Worlds, Marcia S. Schneiter
The Basil And Josephine Stories: Fitzgerald's Incompatible Worlds, Marcia S. Schneiter
Presidential Scholars Theses (1990 – 2006)
Typically, members of the middle-class of American society are fascinated by the extremely wealthy people of the upper-class. One can spend hours lost in daydreams about the lifestyles of the rich -- the intriguing and even famous people they encounter, the costly, luxurious garments they wear, or the delicacies they relish. To imagine such a life seems to lighten the drudgery of one's own, possibly acting as a stimulus and driving one towards seemingly unattainable goals. The lives of the extremely wealthy are virtually impossible for most middle-class people to imagine, and likewise life in middle America may be difficult …
