Herman Melville And Paul Tillich: An Ontological Interpretation Of Billy Budd, Michael E. Gress Jan 1980

Herman Melville And Paul Tillich: An Ontological Interpretation Of Billy Budd, Michael E. Gress

Masters Theses

The traditional approaches to Herman Melville's Billy Budd focus upon the question of whether or not the story was Melville's final statement of acceptance or irony. Both arguments are sociological in nature in that the different sides argue that Melville either finally accepts or continues to reject by irony, the forms of society. The acceptance critics contend that Melville ends by seeing value in the forms because of their use for maintaining order in society; the irony critics claim that Melville was taking a final satirical poke at society's limiting forms and authority.

My thesis differs from these traditional arguments …


The Innocent Narrator In Mark Twain's Roughing It, John R. Fisher Jan 1980

The Innocent Narrator In Mark Twain's Roughing It, John R. Fisher

Masters Theses

Mark Twain in his travel narrative Roughing It presents a naive, innocent narrator from the East who ventures forth into the largely uncivilized Western frontier during the exciting silver mining boom of the 1860's.

The innocent narrator must go through numerous initiations before he is accepted as a member of the vernacular community. In these various …


Spring Into Summer : A Novel, Jeff Wuorio May 1979

Spring Into Summer : A Novel, Jeff Wuorio

Senior Scholar Papers

Spring into Summer is a novel based on my experiences as a student living in London for a year.

The narrative traces the younger brother's efforts and eventual failure to work on the history; in so doing, he also fails to become more like his older brother whom he greatly loved and admired. Thus, a doppelganger, or "Double" of sorts is used.

Three Of Faulkner's Aberrant Women, Ginny Powell May 1979

Three Of Faulkner's Aberrant Women, Ginny Powell

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Because human nature is so often irrational and passional, William Faulkner many times offers portraits of people who are the antithesis of rationality and morality. Thus, it is not surprising to observe Faulkner's extensive use of aberrant, or deviant, characters, especially aberrant women, since the author generally associates this group with the volatile, passional elements in life. These disturbingly abnormal women possess as a group certain characteristics that become a remarkably consistent pattern in the Faulknerian canon.

Faulkner's aberrant women invariably have at least one trait in common: they become destructive forces that bring about the ruin of others and …
