I personally agree with Nabokov’s theory about good readers. If we don’t detach ourselves a little from the story we will be too blinded by our emotions to appreciate the real art of the story. A good reader needs a great writer and vice versa. A good reader must comprehend the story through the proper use of his imagination, memory, and artistic sense. Having an imagination is necessary to get deeper in the story, and a good memory is also required to tie the pieces of the story together.
The narrator’s obsession with the wallpaper that surrounds her bedroom begins merely as intrigue and climaxes to a point where reality and what she imagines within the wallpaper becomes blurred. This climax represents her journey from rationality to insanity as the wallpaper becomes more twisted and alive around her. This wallpaper ultimately represents the oppression of her mind that is being caused by her post partum depression, as well as her husband’s ineffective healing methods. At first she finds the wallpaper being “one of those sprawling, flamboyant patterns committing every artistic sin” (Gilman 988). This could be a representation of the beginning of her depression which was initially just an annoyance to her which she does not fully understand.
One example is the domestic violence between Harpo and Sofia. Harpo wanted more control in their relationship so he listened to the advice of Celie and beat Sofia but the end result did not come out as he expected. This issue between the couple was resolved when Sofia decided to move away with her children to her sister’s house. (TCP novel) Verbal violence was common for
The reader is able to observe and develop a sense of connection with the characters on an emotional level. The plot progresses in a sequence of letters between characters and hence the reader recognizes what is occurring throughout the novel. An example of this is shown when Mina is worried about something happening to Jonathan Harker. The reader is able to see what is going through Mina’s head because of the nature of the structure. Certain Key points in the plot wouldn’t have been made available to the reader unless they were reading it from the characters themselves.
Perseverance and Resilience are born from Conflict Statement of Intention: For this piece I chose to write an essay of the expository form to explore human qualities such as perseverance and resilience and their relationship to conflict. I chose to use casual language but in a formal and sophisticated tone to appeal to all readers. Conflict and its ability to produce internal qualities is a fundamental aspect of the human condition. Conflict provides the necessary framework for growth and progression through the oppression of resistance by a dominant power. Along with its ability to provide development, it also has the capability to establish other qualities such as perseverance and resilience.
Both conflicts are important as they can either act as an insight into a character’s mind, serve as a moral to the story, or even as a way to show relationships between characters. In “Chronicle” there is a love conflict where the ‘labeling’ as to who is ‘evil’ and who is ‘good’ is greatly affected by both the reader’s perception and the character’s perception. This conflict is between Bayardo and Angela – he rejected her when he discovered that she was not actually a virgin. This conflict was revealed when Bayardo brought Angela back to her house, where she was then beaten by her mother. In this case, even when some readers might agree with the character’s perceptions, their reactions are thought of as too exaggerated and unnecessary.
This realization helps the story by increasing the intensity and suspense and by causing the reader to be curious of the future events that may occur. Literary Device : Foreshadowing Analysis: In addition, the usage of foreshadowing in the “Then There Was Two” becomes an important literary device that adds to the effectiveness of the story. With the usage of foreshadowing, the author is able to create suspense, intrigue, and a sense of momentum in the story. Through this quote, “Priapus felt really nervous but was grateful that Maria hadn’t noticed how agitated he was,” the readers understand that Priapus had lied to his wife about the phone call. Not knowing why he was so nervous, the
Kipling knew that instilling these virtues might make his readers self-righteous so he warns them against the same towards the end of the stanza. When we move to the second stanza, If poem analysis engulfs within its scope the correct way to pursue one’s goals in life. Kipling asks his readers to dream and think profusely but also advises them to prevent the same dreams and thoughts from controlling their every waking moment and upon fulfillment on those very dreams he asks his readers to master modesty such that they do not turn into self proclaimed Samaritans. He says to his readers that they must not let defeat affect them and advises them to treat every defeat which they might face as a chance which life them gave them to learn
Point of view can be so crucial to a story. The reason first person is so important to this particular story is because, when a tale from a rational killer, Montresor, is allowed to tell the story from his point of view, the reader experiences a unique, disturbing look into the tranquility of his mind. The audience can thoroughly understand how he interprets the situation and feels. Something the audience does not normally experience in short stories. I know if it were told from a different perspective, the story would not have been as emotionally effective.
The reason there is conflict between these two characters is not only because of the challenge Frank faces by eventually agreeing to tutor her, but, more importantly, because he has serious reservations about doing so. Throughout the play, Frank experiences moral difficulties with his commitment to tutoring her because he feels he is compromising her uniqueness as an individual. Rita has to spend a large part of the play trying to convince Frank that this is really what she wants. The first impression we receive of Rita is from Frank's referral to her while on the phone with his current girlfriend. He excuses his later trip to the pub by saying: “I shall need to wash away the memory of some silly woman's attempts to get into the mind of Henry James...” Thus, the first reference to Rita is indirect and biased.
