The townspeople treated Gimpel much like the court jesters of the renaissance period, turning the baker into the village harlequin. Although the target of many pranks and antics, they were not directed at him for intentional harm. He was the target though due to his accessibility and convenience. Instead of seeking Gimpel out for his talents as the baker, Gimpel’s neighbors sought him out to entertain themselves by ridiculing his naïve nature. The baker ...

Happiness In Brave New World
Number of Words: 728 / Number of Pages: 3
... during Lenina’s trip home with Henry Foster, “‘What a hideous color khaki is,’ remarked Lenina, voicing the hypnopædic prejudices of her caste” (62). Khaki is a color worn by lower castes in the society and the higher castes are taught not to associate with them. Bernard’s hypnopædic lessons did not work as well as most.

For problems that nature creates, the society of Brave New World ...

only will this make the story shorter and clearer, the hidden meanings imbedded
in the story will have a chance to be probed and discovered. As well, avoid

conversations or actions.

... no wise socialist nor could it be." However Marx emphasised that its "great social measure…was its own existence."
In this essay I will discuss La Débâcle, and Zola’s apparent lecturing tone. For while Zola exposed many social sores he had never previously attempted to put forward ideas for healing them. I will discuss how Zola felt that it was not the Prussians who brought down the Second Empire, but the corrupt society of France, and its epicentre, Paris. This will bring me onto the Paris Commune, where I will introduce Marx’s theories into the fold.
The research a ...
