.... acquaintance with evil through the literary concepts of characterisation, symbol, writer in context, ideology and, reader positioning and the point of view. There are essentially only two characters that are significant to the notions and plot of Heart of Darkness, namely Marlow and Kurtz. The two characters are distinctly different from each other, although both are equally characterised with physical and mental traits by Conrad. The reader is involved with the interaction between the two characters. As I support the thesis that man moves from innocence to experience and becomes acquainted with evil in the novella, I have interpreted the character of Marlow .....

.... he would have to kill the King which creates a conflict between his two primary duties. Because of this, Hamlet finds it difficult to decide how to proceed and which duty takes precedence, and Hamlet decides to gather evidence as proof of Claudius' guilt so that his revenge is justified to society and to himself. The 'unholiness' of murdering a king who is also a close relative is highlighted by Claudius and this allows the audience to better understand the conflict and the indecision facing Hamlet. Hamlet's duty as a son, in his social context and circumstances, is one which encourages him to seek revenge for his murdered father. For Hamlet to be percei .....

.... to the evidence that this is a poem. This text has more than one intended audience. The primary audience is Judith Wright's husband. It is a well-known fact (in literary circles) that Wright addressed this poem to her husband when she was pregnant with one of their children. The intimate nature of this exchange between Wright and her husband is evident in her use of personal pronouns: "…you and I have known it well"; "…your arm…"; "…my breast…". The second intended audience is every woman and every man, as an expression of something from every woman to every man. The title Woman To Man makes the poem universal, more than just a po .....

.... becomes upset and complains about his duties but is reminded by Prospero that he must work to be released of the magical imprisonment of the tree trunk. The deceased witch who used to live on the island cast this imprisonment unto Ariel. Prospero reveals to the then awaken Ariel that he was once the Duke of Milan. He was banished from Milan and sent away with Miranda in a small boat. The reason he was banished was for the study of magic over government. His brother, Antonio, had him thrown off with a little help from King Alonso. While on the boat they ran into the island and Prospero continued to practice his magic for years to come. Prospero decided .....

.... but more importantly, moralistically, how developed they are, and how "civilized" they had become. "Their talk, however, was the talk of sordid buccaneers: it was reckless without hardihood, greedy without audacity, and cruel without courage; there was not an atom of foresight or of serious intention in the whole batch of them, and they did not seem aware these things are wanted for the work of the world." (50) This passage is describing the way a certain group of people lived in the jungle. They pushed aside their morals and ideals to turn over a profit in this undeveloped land where they couldn't be stopped because of the lack of laws and consequenc .....

.... strikes fear into the lower class citizens, causing them to refrain from speaking out against their oppressors. Instead they are encouraged to "speak well of the law…and leave the law to take care of itself." (68). The fact is, that the blackened hearts of the aristocracy saw capital punishment as a convenience, rather than justice. The guillotine "cleared off (as to this world) the trouble of each particular case, and left nothing else with it to be looked after" (62). This negative light that the ruthless use of capital punishment casts upon the rulers of France is exactly what Dickens had intended. When the revolution actually takes place, the Jacques .....

.... is the Family of Polonius. Contrary to popular belief, the tragedy of Hamlet is not about him nor of his family. It is however the tragic fate of Polonius’ family Because their deaths were not the consequences of their own sinful actions rather by the innocent involvement in the schemes of Claudius and Hamlet. Although some may say that polonius deserved his death because of his surreptitious style. Even though all he was really doing was following the king's inclinations. Polonius was slained by Hamlet after having been mistaken for the King. The next to die is Ophelia, she, is entirely manipulated by Hamlet and the king, for their own selfish reason .....

.... sustain life. In contrast to Eliot, Charles Baudelaire uses positive and uplifting prose to deal with nature in the sonnet "Correspondence". When he states,"Nature is a temple whose living colonnades Breathe forth a mystic speech in fitful sighs"(1186), he is basicallyy saying that nature's pillars or the pillars of life provide something special or mystical. Unlike Eliot, he uses images of beauty that are sensual. He says,"Perfumes there are as sweet as the oboe's sound Green as the prairies, fresh as a childs caress"(1187);Baudelaire wants the idea of nature and sexuality to dance through ones head in a very positive manner. Finally at the end of the poem h .....
