Harold Pinter The Menacing Silences In Truth
3,554 wordsTruth in drama is forever elusive. You never quite find it but the search for it is compulsive. The search is clearly what drives the endeavour. The search is your task. More often than not you stumble upon the truth in the dark, colliding with it or just glimpsing an image or shape which seems to correspond to the truth, often without realizing that you have done so. But the real truth is that there never is any such thing as one truth to be found in dramatic art. There are many. These truths c...

Heart Of Darkness Critical
1,152 wordsHeart of Darkness: Critical Essay Heart of Darkness (1900) is one of Conrad's most ambiguous and difficult stories, a tale which has captivated critics with its profuse imagery and philosophical and psychological suggestiveness. I think that Conrad almost purposely constructed his work in order to provide employment to teachers, critics, and students. In Heart of Darkness, Conrad takes his deepest look into the human condition, and comes to perhaps his most pessimistic conclusions on the various...

For generations serious scholars had discounted this type of historical data as being too easily flawed. It is the very nature of reminiscence that it is history being perceived by individuals, and is therefore susceptible to the human traits of bias, misconception, and utter falsification. ?

Edgar Allan Poe Modern Critical Views
1,244 wordsThe short story writer which I have chosen to research is Edgar Allen Poe. After reading one of his works in class, I realized that his mysterious style of writing greatly appealed to me. Although many critics have different views on Poe's writing style, I think that Harold Bloom summed it up best when he said, Poe has an uncanny talent for exposing our common nightmares and hysteria lurking beneath our carefully structured lives. (7) For me, this is done through his use of setting and narrative...

His criticism of organized religion and support of nihilism are key characteristics of his work, and his books are unified by one simple fact: Nietzsche himself wrote them. While this revelation may not seem profound in any sense, Nietzsche's view of his vocation as an author is the source of inspiration, complication and, indeed, the very root of his philosophy. Nietzsche's use of literary technique results...
