Writing Style/Hansberry & Wright
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page essay that contrasts and compares Lorraine Hansberry's play A Raisin in the Sun and Richard Wright's novel Native Son. The writer argues that these are very different narratives in their context and characterization; however, there are scenes in each, where the author and the playwright portray how imagination, the art of daydreaming and speculation, motivates and affects the subsequent actions of each protagonist. These two scenes serve to connect the works thematically, as in both cases, the protagonists' daydreams are set against the backdrop of a racist reality that neither man has ever fully confronted in terms of his own life. Furthermore, both of these male protagonists envision a glorified and ideal future that occurs, more or less, without their active intervention, but rather as something that they can fall into or negotiate by playing the "game," as Wright's Bigger Thomas puts it (Wright 36). No additional sources cite.

Wuthering Heights/Unbreakable Bonds
[ send me this essay ]
A 7 page essay/research paper that explores critical opinion and Bronte's classic novel. Popular interpretation of the novel has traditionally seen this bond as making Catherine and Heathcliff the "greatest lovers in the history of the novel" and their intense bond as a "manifestation of perfect love" (Tyler 167). However, other critics have argued with this interpretation and place an altogether different slant on what ties these two characters. This examination of literature and Bronte's novel finds that these critics present the more persuasive argument and the unbreakable bond between Catherine and Heathcliff appears to be based more on psychological codependency than on romantic passion. In fact, Bronte, by contrasting this relationship with others in the novel, that is, Catherine's relationship with Edgar Linton, seems to suggest that there are bonds that are far deeper than those between husband and wife. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
