A Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man: Is Stephen Dedalus Really James Joyce?
<view this essay>.... makes
Stephen a stereotyped artist, they fail to realize that he therefore cannot
be a true artist.
In A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is written in the
indirect first person, in which everything is “seen through the eyes of
Stephen.” Joyce's method of writing for this novel and apparently for his
other novels is stream-of-consciousness. Nowhere in the novel does Joyce
include his own thoughts. The character of Stephen Dedalus is revealed
through only his observations and reactions to the world around him.
This novel is “enclosed in a sustained symbolic pattern.” Stephen
Dedalus is symbolized as “rich and many-faceted.” Critic Elizabeth Drew

On a very basic level, one can already note the underlying significance for Brontë's use of fire imagery - fire, as is with the passions, can provide warmth and comfort, but can also burn. With water imagery, it is useful to consider that such imagery includes natural imagery of ice, .....

Orwell's "Such, Such Were The Joys....": Alienation And Other Such Joys
<view this essay>.... response to childhood subjugation, a subtle exposure to the
evolution of Orwell's thought.
Orwell's life as a boarding school student at Crossgates occupies
his memory of childhood and serves as the platform for his views on life.
Repeatedly Orwell describes the society of the school from which he is
outcast:
That bump on the hard mattress, on the first night of term, used to give me
a feeling of abrupt awakening, a feeling of: ‘This is reality, this is what
you are up against.' Your home might be far from perfect, but at least it
was a place ruled by love rather than by fear, where you did not have to be
perpetually taken out of this warm nest and .....

Understanding Holden Caulfield
<view this essay>.... manner will leave the boy forever baffling.
Caulfield’s apparent virtue helps to mask his true character. It’s not difficult to understand why readers have always ignored Holden’s grave deficiencies as a person (Branch 42). After all, "he is very appealing, on the surface" (Costello 95). He "genuinely appreciates brief and isolated instances of kindness" (Lee 263) and "accurately pinpoints phoniness in low and high places” (Edwards 556). Thus, it is easy to explain reader’s acceptance of him. “Indeed, these people are like Holden himself - the Holden who can be willful, contrary, often impossible, yet in a manner insistently of his own making and at odds with .....
