Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn Duke And King
582 words
Naivety of Huckleberry Finn The dialect that Mark
Twain used in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
mocks the poor education and incompetence of the
South in the late 1800 s. As the narrator of the
novel, Huck Finn, fits the exemplary part of a
young and naive boy. He does not comprehend the
immensity of the world but, rather the small
portion that he sees. As Huck takes the reader
through each episode of the book, he does not
perceive any kind of humor in the word devices he
uses. He takes them ...

Pride, arrogance and the refusal to accept reality
is a failing in humans. It causes them to overlook
the obvious and leads to errors in judgement. In
tragedies, this is a leading cause in why the most
apparent flaws in judgement are often overlooked
by characters. In the play King Lear, by William
Shakespeare, King Lear refuses to accept the
reasoning that his Fool puts forth regarding Lear
and his kingdoms well being. To some, it is
natural to ignore advice from people of a lower

Waiting For Godot Vladimir And Estragon
342 words
1. God One of the main themes that is displayed
throughout Waiting For Godot is the idea that life
on earth is more or less a long and confusing wait
for God. This theme magnifies the idea that the
infamous Godot is actually God and that the play
is built upon a structure of Christian morals.
With this in mind, it is easy to see how Beckett
incorporates questions that are often raised by
struggling Christians. One inquiry that is risen
is simply, does God exist? Beckett displays this
doubt throu...

Nathaniel Hawthorne's work is typically fraught
with symbolism, much of it deriving from his
Puritan ancestry; a great-great uncle was actually
a judge in the Salem witchcraft trials (Roth 76).
Not surprisingly, Hawthorne was obsessed with the
twin themes of sin and guilt. Author John Roth
notes that A number of recurring thematic patterns
and character types appear in Hawthorne's novels
and tales. These repetitions show Hawthorne's
emphasis on the effects of events on the human
heart rather tha...
