Parody In Literature
[ send me this essay ]
The sixteenth century was the beginning of the Renaissance, where the yoke of the Church was being thrown off and the possibilities of science were balanced with a humanitarian outlook toward the future. Under these conditions, it is easy to see why the writers of this era would resort to parody in order to ask, "do we need to continue believing this message?" This 6 page paper looks at a number of sixteenth century works in terms of the use of parody. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

Passage Criticism from Jean Rhys’ “Wide Sargasso Sea”
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing elements of imagery and figurative language used throughout a passage in “Wide Sargasso Sea”. Jean Rhys uses vivid elements of imagery and figurative language to set the themes and tone throughout the novel “Wide Sargasso Sea”. In doing this, Rhys often shows oppositions within the environment in which certain characters must remain for the structure to remain consistent. A passage found on pages 65 and 66 (Penguin edition) relates Rochester leaving his structured world and getting lost in the forest to be later rescued by Baptiste. Within the forest, Rochester finds the forest to be dark and hostile as the bushes and branches grab at his legs. The only elements of civilization he finds are a road and a stone house which are overgrown and deserted. His relationship with Baptiste within the forest also differs with that outside of the forest. The passage overall contains many useful elements used throughout the novel which express the foreign aspects of the islands which are seen as dark, hostile and decayed from the colonial point of view. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Examination of this passage shows that it successfully enforces one of the themes that Tolstoy has stressed throughout the course of the novel, namely the importance of family to happiness and a sense of meaning in life.
