... wanted to portray life as best he could, he wanted to show what life was to him: and what better way than a biography closely related to Dickens himself. We could call it a 'Novel of personal memory' but we have to keep in mind the full original title: 'The Personal History, Adventures, Experience, and Observation of , the Younger, of Bluderstone Rookery.

It was also supposed to 'never have been published on any account.' Later in chap 42 this condition is repeated: 'this manuscript is intended for no eyes but mine.' Of course t ...

... into what Hume calls thoughts and ideas. The original impressions, which are derived from sensory input, will have a greater impact on the human being, either physically or mentally, than merely rethinking or recalling them. To support his doctrine, Hume gives an example of how “A blind man can form no notion of colours”. A blind man cannot form impressions of a color because he lacks the ability to see, thus without these impressions, the man cannot imagine what the color red is or what it looks like. But, if somehow the blind man is able to see, “this new inlet for his sensations” will provide the ability to conceive ideas. This ability of conceiving ideas is ...

... evil nature. The witch’s dark meeting place and dark appearance all emphasize their destructive nature. Macbeth in Act 4 consulted with the witches, murdered Macduff's family, and continued to create evil in Scotland. Macbeth in Act 4 is described as an agent of disorder, "untitled tyrant bloody-sceptered". The language in Act 1 that described Macbeth has changed from "noble" and "kind" to the diction of Act 4 which describes Macbeth as "black Macbeth" and a "tyrant". The Castle that Macbeth lives in, Dunsanine is also indicative of darkness. Dunsanine is similar to the word dungeon a dark and dirty place symbolising hell and the evil that lives in hell. ...

... a life of his own, the life of an artist. Through his experiences with religion, Stephen Dedalus both matures and gradually discovers an identity of his own. As a young boy, religion is crucial to Stephen's life. Stephen was reared in a strict Catholic family. The demand for compliance placed on Stephen shapes his life early at Clongowes, a preparatory school run by the Jesuit order. Even as he is adhering to the principles of his Catholic school upbringing, he becomes increasingly disillusioned. Even though Joyce spoke warmly of his own experiences at Clongowes he portrays a different, almost opposite experience for Stephen (Kershner 4). Formerly abo ...

The curse apparently struck during that original performance on August 7, 1606, when Hal Berridge, the boy actor cast as Lady Macbeth, collapsed from a fever and later died. Shakespeare himself had to step in and play the role on short notice. The play was rarely performed again for nearly a century. The day of its London revival in 1703 was noteworthy for one of the most severe storms in English history. Because of its blasphemous content, the play was blamed for the storm's calamities, and Queen Anne ordered a week of prayer during which all theaters were closed. A catalogue of ...

Abby Williams was the radical in society. Abby wanted to change how religion controlled society. Since she believed the society she lived in was hypocritical. Abby gives a short insight of ...

... of self-awareness. In Deliverance, Dickey illustrates how man, removed from "civilized" society, reverts back to his primitive instinct. Man, in this primitive state, becomes the most dangerous creature that roams the earth. His ability to reason becomes utilized only on the aspects of survival; laws cease to exist and man justifies and acts out any action that ensures his survival. He shows that it is not nature one should fear but rather man, nature is a neutral force that only provides context for man to behave a certain way. To illustrate this point, Dickey places four individuals, born and bred in suburban society, into wild and lawless nature. Conf ...
