Analysis of the Character of “Don Quixote”
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page paper analyzing the character of Don Quixote including his relationship with Sancho Panza. When Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra wrote “The Adventures of Don Quixote” in 1604 and 1616, he did not have much compassion for his central character’s “impossible dreams”. Despite this however, Cervantes wrote the character of Don Quixote as a combination of a man who was compassionate, chivalrous, independent, pure, true in his friendships and trustworthy while at the same time as being a dreamer, obsessive, imaginative, unrealistic and insane. In his relationships with those around him, especially with his companion Sancho Panza, the reader can tell that Quixote has always been respected and well liked because of the care and respect his friends have for him in their attempt to prevent him from harming himself. Sancho allows for Quixote to live with his dreams originally based on promises made to him by Quixote but eventually in Sancho enjoying in the adventures himself. Overall, the character of Quixote is admired and well liked by the readers who not only enjoy reading of his adventures but realize that he is a man of ideals and high morals during a time when not many men were described as such.

Analysis of the Slave Trade and Slave Owner Attitudes in Stowe’s “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” and Melville’s “Benito Cereno”
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing the slave trade and treatment of slaves in Harriet Beecher Stowe’s “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” and Herman Melville’s “Benito Cereno”. Harriet Beecher Stowe’s “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” and Herman Melville’s “Benito Cereno” show different sides of the slave trade and slave life in the 18th century and colonial America. Although both stories are fictional, they nevertheless accurately reflected the slave situations at the time. Subsequent articles researched on the slave trade have found that largely slave trading was a considered a prosperous commodity in Europe and the colonies and despite the fact that both Stowe and Melville write accounts which show their opposition to slavery, it was considered acceptable in the 18th century. What surprises readers however in Stowe’s account is the cruelty of the slave owners to their slaves, not only on moral grounds but because they basically ruined their financial investments by beating the slaves until they could no longer work or be traded. Additionally, in Melville’s novella, the character of Captain Delano shows the tremendous racism at the time while at the same time allowing his naiveté in the future of the slaves and the slave revolt depict the presumptions and prejudices of the “good American”.
