Antigone, Hippolyte, and Nora
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses the
stories of Antigone, Hippolyte, and Nora of Henrik Ibsen’s “A
Doll’s House.” Initially, “Antigone” appears to be an obvious
story of political dilemmas focusing on civil disobedience and
civic responsibility, rather than the personal development and
revolution of one woman. Hippolyte is the mythological story of a
great queen killed by Hercules. Nora Helmer is the “modern”
construct and is a character in Henrik Ibsen’s famous play “A
Doll’s House.” Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Aphra Behn's "Oroonoko" Compared To Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels" - Self/Other Dichotomy
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. The self/other dichotomy is present in myriad forms throughout literary history, but perhaps nowhere is it better illustrated then within the context of Aphra Behn's Oroonoko and Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, two pertinent examples of how the respective authors can uphold the same approach yet do so in quite different ways. Behn seeks to remove herself from other authors of her genre who characterize themselves as social elitists in relation to the sorry, uncivilized masses they deem as being inferior. In this quest, Behn maintains the self/other differentiation by way of infusing the protagonist with the two elements that demarcate precisely the objective she seeks: education and beauty. Swift, by comparison, does much the same to support the self/other dichotomy, however, he accomplishes this by pointing out the flaws that comprise Gulliver's very being. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Arch Romantics as Personified by Emma Bovary, Jay Gatsby, Gilbert
Markham and Shakespeare’s Orsino
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses
the idea that many of the modern attitudes and beliefs that have
shaped literature throughout the ages have demonstrated how
people view the realities of love and longing. For example, Jay
Gatsby would have never been the character he was without his
focus on Daisy and Emma Bovary’s “scandalous” behavior would have
never occurred had she been able to remove herself from what
modern romance writers would describe as a “forbidden passion.”
Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Aristocracy in “Daniel Deronda” and “Pride and Prejudice”
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper which
compares and contrasts how aristocracy is depicted in George Eliot’s “Daniel Deronda”
and Jane Austin’s “Pride and Prejudice.” No additional sources cited.

Art as Thematic Element
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper which examines how different authors use art
as an element, pertaining to theme, which serves to gain the attention of the reader. In
most cases the use of art is incredibly subtle and is there as a tool to express, and more
thoroughly define, the position of the individual within the story. In examining this topic
the paper uses "M. Butterfly" by David Henry Hwang, "Real Love" by Andrew Ross, and
"How the Garcia Girls Lost their Accents" by Julia Alvarez. No additional sources cited.

Aspects of the Equality of Women and Women in Marriage as Found in Passages from Ibsen, Wollstonecraft, de Pizan, Mill and Chopin
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing the equality and education of women in the works of Ibsen, de Pizan, Wollstonecraft, Mill and Chopin. The equality and education of women and issues which relate to the equality of in marriage have long been evident in the literature of the past 500 years. Christine de Pizan in 1405 first wrote on the importance of the education of women and the ideals of equality in her work “Book of the City of Ladies”. Since that time the same issues have been discussed by Henrik Ibsen in the relationship between Nora and Torvald in “A Doll’s House” (1879), Mary Wollstonecraft in ““A Vindication of the Rights of Women” (1792), John Stuart Mill in “The Subjection of Women” (1869) and Kate Chopin in “The Awakening” (1899). Contrary to the popular belief that women need marriage and men to “rise” in society, these writings show that women crave education and only want marriage if it can be on equal intellectual terms.
Bibliography lists 10 sources.
