“Ethan Frome” and “The House of Mirth”: The Themes of Loneliness, Isolation, and Silence
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page review of the stories by Edith Wharton, an author best remembered for her examination of New York society in the 1800s. Much of this work is interwoven by the themes of silence, isolation and illusion. Such is certainly the case with “The House of Mirth” and “Ethan Frome”. The characters in these works find themselves isolated from society as a whole partially because of their own ideologies but also because of circumstances which are beyond their control. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

“Everyman” and the Idea of Allegory
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses “Everyman,” an English morality play written anonymously sometime in the late 15th century. Everyman” is a parable about death and the ultimate destiny of a human being’s soul. “Everyman” reflects both its place in history and the mindset by which medieval sensibilities were governed. “Everyman” is truly a message that was designed to convey the fact that none of the material goods any human being (or “every man”) acquires can be taken on the final journey of death. Only the good a person has accomplished counts toward the ultimate redemption of the soul and pays the admittance fee to heaven. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

“Excalibur” the Movie and "Excalibur: A Novel of Arthur": A Comparison of Two Depictions of Arthurian Legend
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page review of two different depictions of Arthurian legend. Released in 1981 by director and producer John Boorman, “Excalibur” ranks as one of the most historically accurate films ever created regarding the historical setting for Arthurian legend. While the film has the advantage of color movie photography and sound over the 1998 "Excalibur: A Novel of Arthur" by Bernard Cornwell, each is tremendously effective in their depiction of myth and historical circumstance and setting.

“Factories in the Field”: A Review of the Book by Carey McWilliams
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page overview of the agricultural history of California. This author traces this history from the Spanish land grant to the early half of the twentieth century. Central to the tremendous development which occurred was the migrant worker, groups of which McWilliams describes as the “wake of a machine”. The industry of thousands of workers, some white, some yellow, some brown, is what has fueled California’s great corporate expansion into agriculture. It is that industry to which California should be the most beholding. The picture revealed by McWilliams, however, is not one of gratitude, it is instead one of monopolization and domination. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

“Fate and Deity in ‘Oedipus the King’ and ‘The Epic of Gilgamesh’”
[ send me this paper ]
A six page paper which looks at the concept of fate in Sophocles’ ‘Oedipus the King’ and the Sumerian ‘Epic of Gilgamesh’, in terms of how far free will can be said to be exercised in a universe which is controlled by an omnipotent deity or pantheon of deities, and the way in which apparent freedom of choice can be seen to conform to the pattern which is pre-ordained by destiny as set down by the gods. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

“Fathers and Sons”: An Analysis of the Eighteenth Century Novel by Ivan Turgenev
[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page paper outlining the major theme of Turgenev’s novel contrasted with the social movements of the time. Identifies two major philosophical directions of the time, that which stood in respect of the age old institutions and ideologies of Russia and that of nihilism or positivism. Asserts that in many respects Turgenev’s “Fathers and Sons” was a call for the intelligensia of the day to reject the cold scientific calculation which characterized the movement and to at least partially reembrace romanticism. Demonstrates this assertion with quotes from the novel and an exhaustive review of the precepts of nihilism. No additional sources are listed.

“Fences”: A Review of the Play by August Wilson
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page review of the Pulitzer Prize Winning play by August Wilson.
