The Text states that Moliere wrote many different types of plays and they were well known for their timeless characters, which is still well known. The article also states that Wilbur’s approach to translation is informative and he often gives importance to “rhyming solutions”. I find it interesting that he argues that creating natural verse is a matter of patience, and creating rhymes that sound new. The article stated that at one point Wilbur had a fear of unintentionally overlapping verses, this shows the possibility of verses may have been more limited than it is
Nathanael’s literary style and theme of his stories were passionate romanticism and mainly dark romanticism. The spectacular author had many amazing works and so many popular books. One of his greatest works was The Scarlet Letter (1850) and Twice-Told Tales (1837). Edgar Allan Poe once said, "The style of Hawthorne is purity itself. His tone is singularly effective—wild, plaintive, thoughtful, and in full accordance with his themes... We look upon him as one of the few men of indisputable genius to whom our country has as yet given birth".

In the early seventeenth-century, English poets used metaphysical poetry to enlighten highly intellectual and often abstruse imagery in their works, which further advanced the poetic style of John Donne. Donne’s poetry makes use of complex images, which are remarkably convincing to the reader. Despite the use of extensive techniques and varying images, the greatness of Donne’s poetry is the simplicity in the ideas expressed. John Donne’s poem, “The Triple Fool,” suggests unrequited love and folly through his use of creative imagery, sorrowful diction, and assertive tone. Firstly, Donne's poetry is highly distinctive and individual, adopting a multitude of images.
It is especially known for one of its greatest authors, William Shakespeare. Although his poems were good, his plays are what he is mostly remembered for; he wrote forty plays including The Two Noble Kinsmen and the two lost plays attributed to him. His plays are so special because they can be adapted into modern day situations and still make sense, thats why there can be modern versions on Macbeth and Romeo and
Yvonne Young British Literary Tradition II (EN246OC) Professor Abma May 29, 2011 The Truth in Heroic Allegory: S. Johnson’s “Truth, Falsehood and Fiction: an allegory” The word allegory, coming from the Latin allegoria meaning “veiled language, figurative”, is an effective literary device used by many writers to communicate messages by means of symbolic figures and extended metaphors. As it turns out, Samuel Johnson used just that in his esteemed allegorical work “Truth, Falsehood and Fiction: an allegory” where abstract concepts of human nature (good versus bad) are cleverly woven into an epic tale full of mythological and worldly characters. In this, Johnson is able to place a “mask” of figurative language over intangible, sober subject material, effectively catching the reader’s interest, while at the same time providing a deeper understanding of the true significance behind the narrative. In his essay, allegory is used to personify human concepts into tangible characters providing a deeper understanding of its teachings. For instance, the word truth can be described as honesty, reality, sincerity etc, but the heroine TRUTH, “daughter of Jupiter and Wisdom”, causes readers to envision a “majestic”, “towering” woman “conscious of superior power and juster claim” who must fight to win the hearts of men.
Romanticism is really cool. With literature it deals with nature, psychology, the supernatural, freedom, emotions, and other neoclassical ideas. It’s a shame the stories given were tedious because they display characteristics of romanticism. Anyways, the authors of the two stories used said characteristics to develop the themes of their stories. My mission is to explain how by using examples from the text.
In the novel of Strange Objects, Gary Crew uses a variety of binaries to creatively force the reader into examining his points of view. A binary can be identified as a pair of related terms or concepts that are opposite in meaning. When a reader recognises such binaries, they are able to open up the ideas in which the author is attempting to express. Gary Crew has used a vast assortment of binaries such as past/present, sane/insane, foreign/native etc to shape his ideas in a way that will easily reinforce the understanding of the reader. The use and contrast of the binaries is essential for this novel and has been done very effectively by Gary Crew.
Critics thought of him and his work as a good poet and an even better writer who made a major difference in the Harlem renaissance. Harold Bloom thought that “Thomas hardy, with his acute sense of life’s ironies, might have admired Sterling Brown’s Rain Which Precedes Robert Penn Warren in reviving Hardy’s Sprit” (5). Blyden Jackson a critic of the time likes Sterling Brown because he is a great poet and how Brown uses dialect with precision. David Littlejohn said that “Brown Attempted to do for the south what Langston Hughes did for the north” (Bloom 19). People thought that Brown’s irony was sharp, his ideas were exciting, and he was not only and protestor of his time but one of the first times.
In The Great Gatsby F. Scott Fitzgerald presents a novel with complex symbolism. Fitzgerald’s symbolism is so important to the novel that it is necessary to read deeper to gain any true level of understanding. The overtones and significance that Fitzgerald gives the dialogue, settings, and actions are a major reason why The Great Gatsby is one of the most well-known classics of the 20th century. One of the most significant aspects of the novel is time. Fitzgerald obviously wanted to emphasize the importance of time in the novel because the word is repeated multiple times throughout the course of the book.
