Symbolism In The House Of Seven Gables
1,768 words
American literature reflects life and the
struggles faced during existence. Symbols are an
eloquent way for an author to create a more fully
developed work of art. The stories themselves tell
a tale; however, an author also uses symbols to
relay his message in a more subtle manner.
Nathaniel Hawthorne was one of the earliest
authors to use symbols as an integral part of his
plots. This is clearly seen in both The Scarlet
Letter and in The House of the Seven Gables. The
use of symbols causes an "...

Odyssey, by the blind poet Homer. The hero
Odysseus is a dynamic character who, blinded by
hubris, changes his perspective on life according
to the positive and negative experiences he

where the idea of the theatre came from. Rather,
who built it and why it is built the way it is.
Who made the first one? Where do the roots of the
theatre lay? All very good questions that I hope

Flannery Oconner and Grotesque Characters One of
the most interesting characteristics of Flannery
Oconner's writing is her penchant for creating
characters with physical or mental disabilities.
Though critics sometimes unkindly labeled her a
maker of grotesques, this talent for creating
flawed characters served her well. In fact, though
termed grotesque, Oconner's use of vivid visual
imagery when describing people and their
shortcomings is the technique that makes her work
most realistic. Oconne...

The class of adjectives is one of the more
problematic ones in English grammar. In order to
see what kind of problems and questions we are
dealing with we need to address the following two
questions: what adjectives are, and how we can
recognize them. The most common answer to this
question, provided by most grammars, is adjectives

but, as Roberts notes, this definition will lead
