Ihara Saikaku's "The Barrelmaker Brimful Of Love" - Protagonist Analysis
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. To herald Saikaku's protagonist as being a hero is to blatantly overlook the misogynistic tendencies of an otherwise conflict-ridden man. That the barrelmaker seeks the love of one particular woman only to then completely destroy their relationship over a suspicion of infidelity speaks to the irrationality of a bitter man whose character is a reflection of absolute unhappiness. The extent to which this overwhelming presence of conflict, which is present in virtually all other characters, serves to shape the entire story is both grand and far-reaching. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Iliad/Helen & Paris
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page essay that analyzes the relationship between Helen and Paris.

The writer argues that Paris' attraction to Helen appears to be purely on a physical basis, as Paris does not appear to care whether or not he has Helen's respect. Nor does he ever indicate that he has concern for her wants, feelings, or welfare. Likewise, Helen indicates numerous times that she does not love Paris, although their story has the element of physical attraction. No additional sources cited.
