Chekhov And Oates: "The Lady With The Pet Dog" - Comparing The Two Protagonists
[ send me this essay ]
3 pages in length. Gender perspective serves as the defining difference between Joyce Carol Oates and Anton Chekhov's respective versions of The Lady With the Pet Dog. While two couples in love represent the common denominator shared by both stories, the image of gender weakness is a decidedly blatant and undermining attribute of Oates' female character. Moreover, the way in which the authors describe her comes from two entirely different perspectives, with Chekhov regarding her as proud, dignified and lovely, while Oates can only focus upon her overall shortcomings when giving literary life to her protagonist. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Chesnutt's "The House Behind The Cedars" - Racism
[ send me this essay ]
8 pages in length. Atypical of the standard theme of racial intolerance found in most literary circles, Chesnutt's The House Behind the Cedars delves into the impact that being mulatto has upon John and Rena's ability to intersect with white society. The extent to which this duality has a fluctuating effect upon the brother and sister is both grand and far-reaching; that John and Rena experience a full circle from cultural prosperity to personal tragedy all due to the way in which their mulatto appearance both helped and hindered their quest for social equality speaks to the way even those closest to them were unwilling to abandon their racial prejudices once they learned the truth. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
