Jane Eyre - Woman as Demon Missing Works Cited Women in Victorian literature often came to be seen as "the other" or in more direct terms, as somehow demonized. This is certainly true in Jane Eyre. Bertha Mason, Rochester's mad wife, is the epitome of the demon in the attic. By virtue of being the first wife she is in continually compared to Jane. Although there are parallels in plot and language between the two women, they are completely different people. In addition, Bronte also depicts other
Francis and Rayber not only serve as doubles for each other but also as a double for Mason. Francis makes Mason Tarwater’s presence felt by the way he talks and the fact that he, like Mason, never removes his cap. After Francis is with Rayber a few days, Rayber feels Mason’s presence. “Rayber had never, even when Old Tarwater had lived under his roof, been so conscious of the old man’s presence” (189). Mason used baptism to gain control of Francis and to have him carry out his mission after
had grown up rich on one of the nicest and best plantations in Alexandria, Fairfax County, Virginia.

In the history of movies, there are great movies that come out. Then, filmmakers try to recreate the brilliance of that movie with a sequel, sometimes many sequels. All to make more money with something that is familiar to everyone. It very rarely works as well a second or third time around. Because the films usually completely dumb down the first movie 's premise and drop the important parts, in favor of something a lot simpler. In some cases, there are some exceptions; sometimes the sequel is better
movie characters from Star Wars, such as Watto to support his claim. Mr. Leo finds that “Watto, the fat, greedy junk dealer with wings, is a conventional, crooked Middle Eastern merchant.” He goes on with other character references as evidence: Jar-Jar Binks as the inferior black, the Neimidians as sinister Asians. One of the problems with this argument is that not everyone in society identifies with these stereotypes. If the audience does not find the characteristics to be true they could shut
The setting in the short story “Shiloh” by Bobbie Ann Mason works well to accentuate the theme of the story. The theme portrayed by Mason is that most people change along with their environment, with the exception of the few who are unwilling to adapt making it difficult for things such as marriage to work out successfully. These difficulties are apparent in Norma Jean and Leroy’s marriage. As Norma Jean advances herself, their marriage ultimately collapses due to Leroy’s unwillingness to adapt with

Thomas Pynchon's Mason & Dixon and Gravity's Rainbow ....."Snow-Balls have flown their Arcs..." These words begin the wondrous passage that introduces us to the world of Thomas Pynchon's latest masterpiece, Mason & Dixon. In an obvious parody of "A screaming comes across the sky," the opening of Gravity's Rainbow, Pynchon sets the mood and pace for the rest of the novel.

I would choose “A Rose For Emily” by William Faulkner and “Shiloh” by Bobbie Ann Mason to be put in a time capsule to be unearthed 100 years from now. Because “A Rose For Emily” was written in 1930, and “Shiloh” was written in 1982, I think that considering the two stories side by side would provide an interesting contrast between lifestyles of the early and late 20th century. By comparing setting and characterization in these two stories, people 100 years from now could get a feel for some of the

For some people this may take years, and for others they may never realize it, while merely trying to grasp on to the past, or the way they think things should have turned out. In this short story, Mason uses a couple in their thirties to portray people who are experiencing these
