contingencies. The Lais of Marie de France is the perfect escape of a good medieval read for anyone who enjoys fairytales, like myself. As of right now, I may not know much about medieval poetry or even much about love, but I can definitely see why the mysterious Marie de France is quite the hot commodity among the medieval readers. Each and every one of her short stories uphold typical elements that

one of the most prominent authors in the Romantic Era. His style and title helped bring him to fame in the 19th century. Many things inspired Lord Byron’s writing, most of which was women. Lord Byron was not only just a poet, he was an extraordinary person. He did everything from poetry, to politics, to funding a Greek fleet for war. The poetry however, is the majority of the reason why he is well known. He created and formed and new style of character and had a major impact on the Romantic Era of

He puts on a front for the world but he doesn’t do it for the fame or the glory. Gatsby puts on this amazing rich life style for one woman, Daisy Buchanan. He is a truly caring but a self-concessions man that uses money to cover him up and seem equally impressive. The castle is a breath taking and sun catching sight when pictured at the beginning of the novel. When it seems

In addition to Loki, returning fan favorites like Rodin, Enzo, and Luka make appearances to provide comic relief and to aid Bayonetta in her
such as lighting and iconography, and ultimately, the setting and look of the film dictated the film’s plot rather than the story determining how the film would visually unfold. I disagree with this idea because while film noir style was crucial in creating a dark, mysterious, and dangerous mood and environment the story is what calls for the use of such devices. Film noirs were about the social issues that arose in the aftermath of World War II. For example, Crossfire is a 1947 film adaptation of

over a period of time can be mapped by many artists' masterpieces. This shift in time can be seen in the romantic style of Eugene Delacroix's, Paganini, and the neo-classical style of Jean-Louis David's, The Emperor Napoleon in His Study. These two portraits reveal a completely different style; however they both represent emotion and passion in their artistic portals. The Romantic style of the 18th century gives us a deepened appreciation of the beauty of art. It leads you to a preoccupation with
Gothic Elements in House of Leaves Mark Z. Danielewski's House of Leaves is a contemporary novel that contains the four characteristics of the Gothic novel: architecture, death and decay, family secrets, and deviant sexuality. It also contains some elements of the American Gothic such as mental instability and drugs and alcohol. Architecture by far, plays the greatest role in the book. The house itself causes the events in the book to unfold. Supposedly built in 1720, it has housed approximately
September 15, 1890. She was born in Torquay, England. She was the youngest of three siblings, she was homeschooled by her mother who was the one to encourage her to write. When Agatha made her first book it was 1920, and it was titled The Mysterious Affair at Styles. After she made this book she just became famous. After this she went on to sell many more of mystery types of books. She sold billions these books and became one of the most famous authors ever. As a child Agatha Christie enjoyed things
lives in a world of her own creation. “I can’t stand a naked bulb, any more than I can a rude remark or a vulgar action…” (Blanche p.55 scene 3). She had bought a little colored paper lantern to put it over the light bulb, so the room could get that mysterious touch that she wanted. “…Soft people have got to shimmer and glow- they’ve got to put on soft colors, the colors of butterfly wings, and put a paper lantern over the light… It isn’t enough to be soft. You’ve got to be soft and attractive. And
mystery movement. Christie’s introduction into this enigmatic style of writing began with, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, published in 1920, which was an instant hit with the masses. However, arguably Christie’s most famous and critically acclaimed novel, And Then There Were None, gave a new objective to mystery novels. This new objective was to keep the reader’s ignorant until the very end of the story. What made Christie’s style of writing differ from Poe or Doyle was her abnegation to hint
solutions to such problems. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s style of writing drips with underlying themes and symbols. His most popular work, The Great Gatsby, focuses on social classes in the 1920’s. The social divides between different classes cause many problems and people get mentally and physically hurt. Jay Gatsby and Nick Carraway are two characters in this novel that get caught up in their social classes and are living in the past. One example is the love affair between Daisy Buchanan and Jay Gatsby. Before

Restating high points of the paper Edgar Allen Poe was one of the great writers of this world. He created several poems and short stories of a dark and dreary setting. His imagination was incredible.

F. Scott Fitzgerald tends to write with a very poetic style in his otherwise prose novels. The Great Gatsby is no exception. In the novel, Fitzgerald takes an obscure and rather insightful look on basic issues of the 1920’s. One of those issues is that of east vs. west. The 1920’s were a time of booming youthful energy in the east and of age-old tradition in the west. Fitzgerald uses a somewhat naturalistic approach when he suggests that people belong to one or the other and cannot function
Agatha Christie. As Joan Acocella once said, “This mystification game is a standard device of suspense literature, but nobody did it quite like Christie” (Acocella 21). Christie’s ability to create suspenseful literature helped portray her unique mysterious works. Two fine examples of her suspenseful literature are “A Christmas Tradgey” and “The Strange Case of Sir Andrew Carmichael.” These two works not only portray how Christie was an excellent crime writer, but also portray a past side of her that
I have read dozens upon dozens of works of derivative literature. Such works are common, but rarely add to the source material. Not often are they good, rarely are they significant. Oates’ “Lady with the Pet Dog” derivative of Chekhov’s “The Lady with the Little Dog” is one of the rare significant achievements of derivative literature. The very basis of derivative literature is to change something from the source material, in this case Oates changes the setting from pre- Bolshevist Russia to mid-to-late
‘The Hyksos forced Egyptian Pharaohs to look beyond their own borders, and involve themselves in the affairs and lives of their neighbor’s’ Through the notion of looking beyond their own borders, the necessity of constant battles was not only to expand but also protect Egypt’s borders, this eventually led to the image of the ‘Warrior Pharaoh’.
