Dickens' "Great Expectations" as a Victorian Novel
[ send me this paper ]
A five page paper looking at this novel by Charles Dickens in terms of the way it reflects, or challenges, the values of the Victorian era. The paper maintains that Great Expectations is a Victorian novel not because it wholeheartedly supports the social beliefs of the Victorian era, but because it tacitly assumes that its readers do. Through challenging these false values, Dickens' novel seeks to demonstrate that money and social position are not the true virtues to be sought in life. Bibliography lists three sources.

Dickens/Characterization in Hard Times
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page research paper that examines Dickens use of characterization in Hard Times.

Discussion of Poe's Cask of Amontillado
[ send me this paper ]
12 pages in length.
Edgar Allan Poe's irony filled tale The Cask of Amontillado is an
entertaining if not also somewhat horrific tale. This is,
however the author's normal genre and he is indeed the master at
what he does. This paper will look at the ironies and subtle
nuances that lend this story its twists and turns from beginning
right up to the end. It is this very feature of Poe that his
fans so greatly enjoy; the fact that the underlying irony and in
some cases the hints of sarcasm are as entertaining as the main
plot itself. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Dr. Faustus' Fantasy Woman
[ send me this paper ]
Dr. Faustus, the play by Christopher
Marlowe, was written in the late sixteenth century and rewritten in the
early seventeenth. This 8 page paper argues that the portrayal of women
Dr. Faustus, is relegated to the level of pornography and that may have
as its closest modern parallel in 'cybersex' or 'virtual reality'.
Bibliography lists 9 sources.
