Gamblers And The Game Of Life: A Literary Examination Of The Professional And The Addict, Annika Ozizmir
Gamblers And The Game Of Life: A Literary Examination Of The Professional And The Addict, Annika Ozizmir
CMC Senior Theses
The gambler is a mysterious persona in life and in literature. Who is the gambler? While we can envision the gambler as many different kinds of people, this thesis seeks to answer this question by focusing on certain literary figures who gamble. Its author analyzes two archetypes in particular, that of the professional gambler and that of the addict.
