Chaucer's Epic Statement And The Political Milieu Of The Late Fourteenth Century, Paul A. Olson
Chaucer's Epic Statement And The Political Milieu Of The Late Fourteenth Century, Paul A. Olson
Department of English: Faculty Publications
Sets Knight's Tale in the tradition of political verse, and argues that the tale encourages peace in the domestic and foreign affairs of Chaucer's England. The hortatory, heroic style of the tale presents Theseus as a peace-making ideal, pertinent to the French wars of the time. The juxtaposition of the Miller's Tale with the Knight's Tale encourages placid relations with the peasant class.
Several critics, both neoclassic and modern, have observed that) as to kind, the Knight's Tale is an epic fiction. Characteristically, the poems we call medieval epics are what Ezra Pound also says an epic must be in …
Functions Of Menace: A Comparison Of The Room And The Birthday Party, Lee R. Martin
Functions Of Menace: A Comparison Of The Room And The Birthday Party, Lee R. Martin
Masters Theses
An atmosphere of menace surrounds the action of Harold Pinter's plays, The Room and The Birthday Party. Several critics seem to agree that the menace originates in the outer world and threatens to intrude upon the security of a room, where people attempt to hide. But the menace may also originate within the room--from the inner world and not the outer. The Room illustrates how a character deals with a menace that is within, while The Birthday Party deals with agents of menace from the outer world.
Rose Hudd, in The Room, is dissociated from the outer world …
Fitzgerald's Use Of The Four Elements In The Great Gatsby, John Philip Hawkins
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
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 …
Polar Opposites In Hermann Hesse's Novels, Karen Lea Nead
Polar Opposites In Hermann Hesse's Novels, Karen Lea Nead
Masters Theses
The object of this thesis is to show how Hermann Hesse utilizes polar opposites and to show how the integration of conflicting forces works in the lives of the fictional characters in Demian, Steppenwolf, Narcissus and Goldmund, and The Glass Bead Game. These four novels not only are representative of the progression of the individual, but together, they are a consecutive representation of the artist's own search for a unified self. Influenced by psychologist Carl Jung's theories regarding the process of development, Hesse portrays the protagonists in constant search of the self. Some of the characters …
