Number of Words: 1675 / Number of Pages: 7
... of his "voice." Although, it did become a bestseller and receive
countless awards, his book was banned in many schools and libraries.
However, critics never attacked The Grapes of Wrath on the artistic level
and they still consider it a beautifully mastered work of art. More than
any other American novel, it successfully embodies a contemporary social
problem of national scope in an artistically viable expression.1 In The
Grapes of Wrath, Steinbeck utilizes Biblical imagery and allusions to
illustrate the struggle of the Joad family as a direct parallel with that
of the Hebrew people ...

... of the two main characters, George and Lennie. Crooks actually states that George and Lennie have got each other but he hasn't got anyone. Curley's wife portrays the same message but under different circumstances. There are really no other main characters besides George and Lennie. From reading the novel and watching the film it is clearly evident in most cases that all of the support characters appear to be lonely. Therefore lonliness is quite a strong and influential theme in the story but it only features as a bakground theme and is not always present at critical stages.
Themes such as sacrifice, ...

... in he ruined his reputation by saying, “I wish I owned half of that dog, because I would kill my half”. Every one called him instead of Dave Wilson. His career, as a lawyer was ruined, no one would come to him to seek advice. His hobby was keeping fingerprints of everyone it the town. People thought him crazy, but in the end I was worth it.
Robert Regan stated, “Wilson was to be a satirized hero, a man who revels in being praised for the wrong reasons by the wrong people.” This says that Wilson would have been a very successful lawyer, but people judged him to the wrong degree. Pudd’nhead did things ...

... and meet the devil. A mission that he begins out of
curiosity and a "deep need to see if the teachings of his childhood, his
religion, and his culture, have armed him sufficiently to look the devil in
the face and return unscathed" (Hodara 1). The symbol of the forest, late
at night, can be interpreted as the untamed regions of Brown's heart where
the devil roams freely as he roams in the forest. The forest is the devil's
domain. Brown finds, in the dark of the night, many of his daytime friends
share this domain with the devil. What he considers moral and "good" in his
life he finds in the fore ...

... a different time frame.
The first gives his mistress a feeling of unconditional love. He leads
her to believe he would give all he has to her as long as time will permit.
During the second stanza, Marvell plays on her fear of getting old. He
warns her that her beauty isn't everlasting and that she will end up
unhappy alone if she doesn't give in. Marvell's use of optimum time, the
best time, show's his emotions. He appears to become aggravated. This
seems to be his ace in the hole. In my opinion, he uses what he believes
to be the dearest thing to her, the situation of right here, ...

Natural Reflection

... the dead leaves that cover the woods and walks. This prompts and even more dramatic exclamation from Marianne: “‘Oh!’ cried Marianne, ‘with what transporting sensations have I formerly seen them fall!’” (p. 77). In this line, and in those that follow, it seems that Marianne gets carried away with her appreciation of the dead leaves on the ground. In the description of them as inspiring “transporting sensations” in her, the extent of Marianne’s “sensibility” is aptly conveyed in a very concise scene.
The “sense” that is characteristic of Elinor is depicted in her response to Marianne’s exaggerated prai ...

The Symbolism In Ethan Frome
Number of Words: 537 / Number of Pages: 2
... Even Ethan’s farmhouse was symbolic of himself. The "L" of the farmhouse was like that of his own body, shrunken and weak (Nevius 136).
Ethan himself represented Wharton’s idea of a honorable man in the nineteenth century. He has admirable qualities, such as integrity, ambition, and wisdom (Magill 531). It is his sense of morals and responsibility that continuously prevents him from leaving Zeena and joining Mattie to a better life for himself (Nevius 132). He is trapped not only by his morality here, but has been a trapped man from the very beginning. His parents’ illness, his unfinished educat ...
