The Treatment of Women in Works by Pope and Swift
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages. This
paper will serve to show how Jonathan Swift in his A Modest
Proposal and Alexander Pope in his Rape of the Lock treat the
female subjects of their works as an irony of society. It must
be remembered that at the time that both of these pieces were
written that women for the most part carried a less important
role in society than did the male. Women were considered to be
more of a possession than an equal partner; indeed, women were
not allowed to speak with any authority in the topics which men
considered to be of most importance. With this fact in mind, it
is not surprising that women are considered the brunt of jokes
and satire more often than were their male counterparts in both
of these works. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

The Trials of “Brave New World” and “Oedipus the King”
[ send me this paper ]
This 5
page report discusses Aldous Huxley’s 1932 novel “Brave New
World” and Sophocles’ ancient text of “Oedipus the King” in terms
of the trials that take place in both. Greek drama was written
and produced with a determination to present an insight or an
awareness to the audience that either caused the members of the
audience to examine their own lives or that of their rulers.
Likewise, “Brave New World” puts modern society on “trial” and
causes Huxley’s readers to consider what their own “judgments”
are regarding the state of modern society. Bibliography lists 2
sources.

The Underlying Theme of Poverty in George Orwell’s “Down and Out in Paris and London”
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page discussion of Orwell’s semi-autobiographical book. In it, Orwell had moved from his upper middle class lifestyle into Paris slums to work as a dishwasher and live in rat-infested hotels. From there he moved on to London to wander haphazardly across the countryside. The experiences which he relates shed considerable light on the physical and mental experiences of being poor, so much light in fact that the book was originally rejected by publisher T.S. Eliot presumably because of the grim and hopeless picture which was presented. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
