Chaereas and Callirhoe/An Ephesian Tale
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page essay that compares and contrasts the ancient Greek narratives of Chaereas and Callirhoe and An Ephesian Tale. The writer argues that these stories express a similar perspective on the topic of love and the manner in which romantic love manifests itself in human society, that is, through the action of the god Eros. This similarity is evident from the beginning of each tale, in which the handsome male protagonist is shown, despite personal beauty and ability, to be at the mercy of the god and also to possess enormous pride, which serves as the rationale to justify the trials and tribulations that are encountered in the story.

Challenges and Limitations of Women Writers in the Early 20th Century: Examples from Works of Virginia Woolf and Rosamond Lehmann
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page paper describing the challenges and limitations faced by women writers in the early 20th century. Women writers of the late 19th and early 20th century were faced with many limitations and challenges in completing their work. Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) does a great deal to explain the challenges and roles of women writers within her work “A Room of One’s Own” in which she gives first hand observations of limitations imposed upon past, present and future women writers. In addition to these observations by Woolf, characters within her works such as those found in “To the Lighthouse” also reveal the constant struggle and conflict women must overcome to obtain their own identity. Other women writers during this time, such as Rosamond Lehmann (1901-1990) also demonstrate the frustrations found within the professional woman in defining her role. Lehmann’s character of Olivia Curtis in her works “Invitation to the Waltz” and “The Weather in the Streets” also reveal the author’s own feelings about the pre-defined roles of women in society and the challenges women face overcoming or dealing with these roles in order to meet their artistic, professional or emotional needs.

Chang-rae Lee/A Gesture Life
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page essay that on this love. While Franklin Hata, also affectionately known as "Doc" Hata, to the people of Bedley Run, is the central character of Chang=rae Lee's novel A Gesture Life, his life and its meaning exist within the midst of relationships with women, both in his present and remembered from his past. These relationships provide insight into Hata's character and why his adopted daughter Sunny accuses him of constructing his life around "gestures and politeness" (Lee 95). While even the incidental relationships with women perform this function in the narrative, this aspect of the Hata's characterization is primarily shown in his relationship with Sunny, an adolescent Korean girl named Kkuttaeh, K for short, and his lover Mary Burns. As this illustrates, the writer is choosing to pursue the second option for analysis, as this essay will pursue the literary form of the author's character system throughout the novel.
