.... a traditional theme in poetry and they are central to most of Dickinsons poems. Love and ecstacy are also primary in her poems and they are often cconcerned with celestial betrothal. In the poem "Death is a subtle suitor", Dickinson illustrates the love-death symbolism, an explicit rendering of deatyh as the lover who transports her in his carriage to be married in a proxy wedding. Dickinson uses the metaphor of a funeral as the wedding journey to eternity, setting up a system of correspondences between the changes brought about by death ans the changes in role of the unnamed partners in this spiritual love game.

.... serves as his tragic flaw and the weakness of his character. In Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises Jake Barnes is the character who maintains the typical Code Hero qualities; while Robert Cohn provides the antithesis of a Code Hero.

This physical wound, however, transcends into an emotional one by preventing Jake from ever consummating his love with Lady Brett Ashley. Emotional suffering can take its toll on the Code Hero as it did with Jake Barnes. Despite the .....

.... realizes his flaw. The belief that is the hero is a strong one, but there is a stronger belief that Kreon, the Ruler of Thebes, is the true protagonist. Kreon’s main and foremost hamartia was his hybris, or his extreme pride. Kreon was a new king, and he would never let anyone prove him wrong or let anyone change his mind once it was made. One main event that showed Kreon’s hamartia and also caused the catastrophe was when he asked his son Haimon, who was engaged to marry , if he still loves his father. Haimon says he respects Kreon’s ruling, but he feels, in this case, that Kreon was wrong. Haimon asks his father to take his advice and not have executed, .....

.... over his face." While Biddlebaum does not realize why he is struck with fear, Anderson tells the reader that he "was one of those rare little-understood men who rule by power so gentle that it passes as a lovable weakness." Thus, the author shows that Biddlebaum is alienated through confusion because he is so "gentle" and "weak". In further descriptions of Biddlebaum, the narrator states that Biddlebaum "did not understand what had happened" when he was disoriented by fear, but felt "that his were to blame" after he was driven from Pennsylvania."

.... do this though. Toward the end of the story however, the fasting by the artist is done solely for himself. When confronted about why he was doing such, the artist says that he hasn't found any food that is enjoyable. His fasting is done then just because he can't find anything good to eat, but also because he was finally given the opportunity to test his limits of how long he can go without eating. Throughout the entire story the artist is kept inside a cage, and toward the ending of the story, he is treated less and less like a human being. Out of all three of these stories, the hunger artist is the most in control of his life and what he is doing. In .....

.... the "Blue Hotel" it is somehow, in The Swedes mind, transformed into a wild west hotel, by the many dime novels he has read, which made him even more uneasy about staying at the hotel. In one of the initial scenes this fear is evident "The Swede answered him swiftly and eagerly: ‘These men are going to kill me.’…. ‘I know I won’t get out of here alive’"(771). The Swede’s fear of dying had made him want to leave the hotel, but Pat Scull, the owner of , attempted to get him to stay by showing around the hotel and showing him pictures of his family.

.... "white man's burden" as, "...an accursed inheritance, to be subdued..." Marlow's ignorance of his surroundings is exemplified as he asks, "The prehistoric man was cursing us, praying to us, welcoming us -- who could tell?" Marlow is simultaneously frightened and baffled by this man. His attitude is one of disgust. Achebe uses positive connotations and imagery: "The sun rose slowly to the center of the sky..." "...a peaceful dance..." "...taking one of the titles of his clan, with music and dancing and a great feast." to depict the jungle as a lively, animated, and supportive dwelling. His images of "The sun breaking through..." contrast heavily with Conra .....
