Escape Theme In The Glass Mena
... The fire escape allows Tom the opportunity to get out of the apartment and away from his nagging mother. Amanda sees the fire escape as an opportunity for gentleman callers to enter their lives. Laura's view is different from her mother and her brother. Her escape seems to be hiding inside the apartment, not out. The fire escape separates reality and the unknown.

Things Fall Apart
... he introduces the colonizers as invasive religious men that ultimately lead the collapse of the Ibo community.
Achebe's initial purpose for writing "," was to illustrate the dynamics of African society. Until then, native Africans were judged as primitive. The most common adjective for the natives, as described by Joseph Conrad on behalf of western Europeans was "black." For example, in his novel, "Heart of Darkness," he writes, "A black figure stood up, strode on long black legs, waving long black arms...." In Achebe's essay, "An Image of Africa: Racism in Conrad's Heart of Darkness," he writes that, " Heart of Darkness projects the image of Africa as 'the ot ...

Fahrenheit 451
... of society and of the government, readers are given many dominant themes to follow, and to find all of them requires several readings. The main plot, following Montag, illustrates the importance of making mistakes in order to grow. For example, at the very end of the book Granger (an outspoken rebel to the book-banning laws) compares mankind to a phoenix that burns itself up and then rises out of its ashes over and over again. Man\'s advantage is his ability to recognize when he has made an error, so that eventually he will learn not to make that mistake anymore. Remembering the faults of the past is the task Granger and his group have set for themselves. ...

Macbeth
... 1 scene 3 and act 4 scene 1 is highly significant, I also believe that they say a lot about Shakespeare and how he would of thought. The main reasons though that I feel the witches roles were so significant is because Shakespeare wanted to please the king who was interested in demonology, to expose s mind the witches sort of showed his conscious escaping. Also to show human weakness or temptation, which gives the audience, a lot to listen for.
The witches appearing in Act 1 had a huge affect on the story line. Even before we meet the witches we know the next few minuets will be very important, because of the significant weather change. You notice it has become very ...

A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
... characters are living an unreal existence through exploring the major themes of this play and their relation to the characters in regards to “living an unreal existence”. These themes which will be discussed later on include reality versus illusion, confronting reality, male domination and truth versus lies.
Reality versus illusion is one of, if not the major theme of the play. It also has the most relevance to the way in which Blanche, Stanley and Stella are living in their own fantasy world. Perhaps the reason Blanche chose illusion rather than reality is because of her somewhat troubled past. When Blanche was 16 she married Alan who was 17. The impression we ge ...

Fork Of A Road
... roads to follow on the map of their continuous journey, life.
Robert Frost puts his persona in front of a road diverging, and he must make a decision on which to take. The two roads are almost identical, but one is less traveled by. He looks ahead, but can’t see far, due to “where it bent in the undergrowth”. Alistair MacLeod does it differently; the narrator has come to a fork in the road, but without hesitation he takes the more traveled by. This is the first contrast between the two literatures. "And both that morning equally lay in leaves no step had trodden black." the leaves had covered the ground and since the time they had fallen no o ...

Sons And Lovers Eaxamine The R
... ‘he seemed old for his years’, grave and serious like Mrs Morel. He
is a quiet boy but spirited much like his mother and this increases with
age as his other’s influence becomes more apparent. ‘When she fretted he
understood, and could have no peace. His soul seemed always attentive to
her’ is the way their attachment is described; their bond is very strong
and very deep. As Paul grew older she never suffered alone for her
husband’s faults and what she lacked in life because ‘her children
suffered with her’. ‘It hurt the boy keenly, this feeling about her, that she
had never had her life’s fulfilmen ...

Great Expectations - Estella
... with Estella: she has a cold personality but she is very pretty. Remember she was given to Miss Havisham at night which is when stars appear. Stella (without the first 'e') is the name of Sydney's beloved. Probably he gave his beloved this name because she was married in the real life and so, he could not reach her. Stars are far and they can not be reached by us. In GE Estella is presented as an impossible dream for Pip. In the same way Pip has expectations in a material level, Estella would be Pip's love expectation. In a Christian sense, the star is a quality applied to the Virgin Mary. Stars are used for orientation, to guide us when we are lost at night. ...
