The scientific and technological advancements of the early 20th century entered people’s daily lives with the intention of bringing the whole of humanity into a brighter, more modern era. However, the darker side of such immense achievement was the increasing encroachment on the previously untouched natural world. Many great minds grew weary of such advances and conveyed their apprehension through the popular literature of the time. The pivotal novel Tess of the D’Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy explores the impact that industrialists with access to technology had on the pastoral countryside and lower classes. Conan Doyle expands on this message in his novel The Hound of the Baskervilles, by examining how the well-educated elite began using science to their advantage, threatening nature in the process. While each novel warns against abusing available technologies, the authors differ in how they believe nature will eventually respond and have incited a debate that has lasted well into the 21st century.

"For the love of God", is a saying usually used when something goes wrong. However when writers Stephen King and Edga Allen Poe use it in their stories, the meaning going from that of exasperation, to something more along the lines of vengeance, success and finite. That is because when King and Poe use it, the protagonists in their stories have just finish burying their respective victims, leaving them to die of suffocation, dehydration or any number of horrible aliments. King's story is "Dolans Cadilac", a tragic tale of a man taking revenge on his wife's murderer. While Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado" is a sinister tale of a man exacting his revenge on his friend for insulting him, though the reader never learns what the friend did to deserve such a grizzly fate.Overall both are interesting in a twisted sort of way and have unique characteristics so they are great stories, one writer is clearly better than the other, Stephen King. Though nobody can deny than Edgar Allen Poe is a good writer. "The Cask of Amontillado" does boasts a sense of darkness "Its walls had been lined with human remains" and madness "I reechoed (his screams) and surpassed in volume". Yet it lacks the emotional color-wheel of "Dolan's Cadilac" which displays sorrow "'She was in pieces' I croaked 'I loved her and she was in pieces''" and that causes the reader to feel sorry for Robinson. On the other hand when crazy and sinister side of Robinson "'Whos there?' 'Me' I said 'But I'm not the help you need Dolan " so this forces the reader to feel either pity for Dolan or a sick sense of gratification because Robinson's plan is working. Thus from sorrow to sinister to a sense of calm when the story ends with Robinson saying"". The emotional rol...
In order to climb up the ladder of society, people oppress those characteristics that lead them to failure. During the 1950’s and 1960’s, homosexuality was seeing as a mental disease of the human race. Homosexuals did not fit in the schema of the American family. Tennessee Williams, in his play “The Cat on the Hot Tin Roof”, shows the effects of society´s views on homosexuals through the main character Brick. In addition to Williams´ play, the theatrical work, “Doubt” by John Shanley, also depicts the struggles that an African American kid undergoes in order to suppress his sexuality. Both plays show two characters in different social classes and from different races trying to survive the denial of society towards their sexual orientation. Through their oppression by male hegemony and with the help of the maternal figure in each play, both Brick and Donald struggle to overcome their fear of acceptance.

Stephen Crane’s short story, “The Open Boat” speaks directly to Jack London’s own story, “To Build A Fire” in their applications of naturalism and views on humanity. Both writers are pessimistic in their views of humanity and are acutely aware of the natural world.
