Shelley's 'Frankenstein' vs. Wharton's 'The Age of Innocence'
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper in which the writer argues that while both women were expressing changing attitudes in femininity thought in their books through contrast and duality, Edith Wharton's view was made through an expansive flowing growth and Mary Shelley's was from an explosive view. The purpose of both stories was to show the need for men and women to come together in equal treatment of women during different eras. Whereas Wharton looked at the changes from the idea of growing together, Shelley's view was of killing off the old ideas. No additional sources cited.

Arthur Conan Doyle vs. Edgar Allan Poe
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper comparing two of Poe's stories -- 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue' and 'The Purloined Letter' -- with one of Conan Doyle's -- 'The Adventure of the Dancing Men' -- to demonstrate the heavy reliance of Sherlock Holmes' creator on the work of his predecessor, Poe. The paper concludes that actually Poe's stories and protagonist have more depth than Conan Doyle's, because Holmes' method relies entirely on logic and Dupin relies on behavior and nuance.

Edgar Allan Poe and the Gothic Genre
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page analysis of 'Fall Of The House of Usher' and 'The Cask of Amontillado' in relationship to the establishment of the gothic genre.
