.... time period surrounding Arthur. The unity that the Roman government imposed on Britain disappeared around 410 AD. In its place arose small villages whose rulers struggled for political and military supremacy. Around 540, a Welsh monk and historian named Gildas wrote in his book Concerning the Ruin and Conquest of Britain that “The disasters that the British people suffered at the hands of the Anglo-Saxons after the Roman withdrawal were clear evidence that god was punishing them for their sins.” It was during these disasters that the monk was referring to that Arthur held up resistance for the Britons against the Saxons, at a time when Britain was const .....

.... more than survants. This surfaces in the novel when Giffer and his friend Gus watch a sky writing plane. "I could fly a plane if I had the chance," Bigger said with Gus replying, "If you wasn't black and if you had some money and if they'd let you go to that aviation school, you could fly a plane." During this conversation the two boys imply the impossibility of achievement in a world dominated by whites. Then later Bigger responds by saying, "Maybe they right in not wanting us to fly, 'cause it I took a plane up I'd take a couple bombs along and drop'em sure as hell..." By saying this Bigger reflects the feeling that he feels frustrated and angry with th .....

.... where Bolingbroke accuses Mowbray of killing Gloucester, Richard plays a major part in the action and at first look, I think that the reader could think that Richard is in fact a 'man of action' because of his handling of the Mowbray-Bolingbroke situation. When Richard pronounces that Mowbray and Bolingbroke shall fight to the death "At Coventry upon St. Lambert's Day" (I, i, 199), the reader could mistake this act of 'showmanship' as the act of a leader who was ready to stand up and take action when a problem arose. However, as we see later, in Act 1 scene 3, Richard's order for Mowbray and Bolingbroke's lives to answer their accusations was onl .....

.... the difficulty of forming a personal identity in a world in which traditional social structures appeared to be dissolving. With compassionate realism, George ELIOT, in such works as ADAM BEDE, described the slow dissolution of a rural community. The many powerful novels of Charles DICKENS, William Makepeace THACKERAY, and Anthony TROLLOPE focused on the isolation of the individual within the city. Charlotte BRONTE in JANE EYRE dramatized the particular problems of creating a female identity. Among the writers of early Victorian nonfiction, Thomas CARLYLE in Past and Present (1843) argued for the re-creation in industrial England of the lost sense of com .....
