A Rose For Emily V.s A Cask Of Amontialldo When it comes to Horror, death usually is a main theme. Many writers like to use characters that do not think normally. In "A Rose For Emily" and "A Cask Of Amontialldo" the main characters are both murderers with little or no remorse. Both share a horrific story of revenge. However, the authors use different writing styles that demonstrate the different outlook on the characters, thus creating the illusion that Poe's character in "A cask Of Amontialldo" is crazier then Faulkener's character in a "Rose For Emily."
The Tell-Tale Heart Assignment: We notice that some details in Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart” make a literal reading of the story rather difficult. Advance and defend a figurative reading of the story consistent with the story’s details. Poe seems to focus on creating mood throughout his story. Many symbols in this story are interpreted in several different ways depending on the reader. These symbols throughout the story include the old mans eye, the heartbeat and the contradiction between love and hate in which I will be talking about in this paper.

Its importance in the history of fantasy literature was valued by its republication by Ballantine books as the third volume of the celebrated. Morris' Kellmscott press first published the hardcover in 1894. Its importance in the history of fantasy literature was recognized by its republication by Ballantine books as the third volume of the celebrated. The story is about a man driven from his home due to an unhappy marriage, With his father’s permission he leaves Langton, wishing to escape his wife but also desiring to see other lands and experience new adventures. When Walter attempts to return home for revenge when he receives word that his wife’s relatives have killed his father, his ship is thrown off course to a deserted region.
In his interview with George Plimpton, Capote says (referring to the view of why Perry committed the murders) “I could have added a lot of other opinions. But that would have confused the issue, and indeed the book. I had to make up my mind and move toward that one view, always.” This statement can be enlarged in scope to resemble Capote’s editorial discretion througout the entirety of In Cold Blood: though his work is full of factual evidence, Capote admittedly edits the book with a certain purpose in mind, and his editing choices subconsciously affect the reader, possibly even moreso than a typical novel, since the reader is caught off guard while believing the book to be a “factual account.” For example, Capote portrays Perry in a very sensitive way, urging the reader to identify and sympathize with him even though some characters in the book, such as Perry’s sister, despise him. If Capote had focused on his sister’s point of view more than others, the reader would take from the story a negative view rather than a postive one; Capote’s real-life relationship with Perry, however, muddled his sense of objectivity and, in a strange way, cast Perry as a sort of fallen hero
The Captain’s Daughter Analysis In the book The Captain’s Daughter, there are many historical events and themes that are worth discussing but the one that intrigued me the most was The Pugachev Rebellion, or Pugachevshchina. It began in 1774 by a man of the name of Emelyan Pugachev who claimed that he was Peter III. He started out in the army, during the Seven Year War. He was discharged from the troops, however, because of his poor health. He suffered from scrofula, an infection that affects the skin and leaves white marks which he had all over his face.
They believed that, was often very tragic it can in most instances produce many beneficial outcomes. We then sat down and debated both sides of the issue through research and personal interviews that we as a group conducted. We had done earlier research on the Crusades so we decided to look at the Crusades as the backbone for our thesis. We began to delve into the Crusades and the benefits and atrocities that this war created. Through our research we discovered many benefits to mankind that this “holy war” produced.
The theme in any work of literature is the underlying idea and main purpose (Kirszner, and Mandell 4). One such theme that has been rewritten throughout time is the idea of death and its inevitability. It is an interesting subject that has been revisited by many authors and poets, and has a great range of perception. Writers find a way to explain a concept and a truth that they believe through different forms of literature. Everything from a three line haiku to a 1000 page novel has an underlying theme.
Consequently, they achieve a certain degree of self awareness and knowledge that they did not possess before. Shakespeare, writing in the tragic genre created in Lear and Macbeth, two tragic heroes who achieve anagnorisis or personal discovery through a series of tragic events. Aristotle believed “anagnorisis....when it occurs together with peripetia (adventure) the change of fortune from good to ill or reverse” would lead to “external identification” which is in other words self-knowledge. Shakespeare’s contemporary audience would have understood the theme of self knowledge, in tradegy as it was a popular genre. During that time, it was believed that the death of a King would upset the natural balance of order and society.
