In novels as sensual as Pedro Páramo and Dom Casmurro, it is not surprising that the authors employ a variety of literary techniques and imagery. Amongst them, not as prominent as the sense of hearing but still salient, is the sense of touch. I will examine how narrators in Dom Casmurro and Pedro Páramo use the sense of touch to reveal their inner motivations and feelings about a situation or character.…

Pirandello opens the story by introducing a husband and wife, both in deep mourning for their son that is to be sent to the front line. After the couple boarded the train, the husband felt that it was his duty to explain to his traveling companions that the poor old woman was to be pitied because the war was taking away her only son. This upset the couple because their son was assured that he would not be sent to the front line for at least six months and now all of a sudden he was commanded to report to the line in three days. The couple argues with the other passengers that their situation is as dire as it can get because this is their only son and there is no one left to console them if their son were to die. Until the woman met the man who gave his testimony, she mourned as though her life were ending along with her son’s departure. Although he was sent to the front line, “her grief had been greater in seeing that nobody -as she thought -could share her feelings.” After hearing the man’s statement concerning…
The dominating theme throughout this passage is the theme of beginning a new life, leaving the past behind. The narrator expresses this idea in line ten. “But it was Spain, and the new life beginning”. The fact that he intents to stay in Spain and wants to start a new life is also shown by his decision to buy a ticket without return (line 11). The “No return ticket” could also be a metaphor for his life journey, that England is not an option for him anymore, and that he cannot possibly ever return. In contrast to his idea to start a new life in Spain we have the fact that he only brought a knapsack, a blanket, spare shirt and a fiddle, which doesn’t seem very much considering the fact that he wants to start a new life in Spain. Maybe this is because he had very little in England and from the fact that he has to sleep in the open, we can tell, that he is probably short of money. The fact that he brought nothing with him can also be seen in connection with his young age. His actions make him appear naïve and innocent. Also the fact that the only Spanish he knows is how to ask for a glass of water (line 12-13) lets him appear even more naïve and we get the impression that he is rather lonely, due to the fact that he can’t speak to anyone. We can assume that the protagonist left…
In the opening lines, Shakespeare starts to sketch the characters and some of the atmosphere of the play. Antonio, for example, is presented as being sad and melancholic for which the reason is unknown. Although his friends (Solanio and Salarino) try to help him find the grounds of his sadness but they couldn’t do so, it was very strange to all of them. Despite its Sad opening, one should always remember that The Merchant of Venice is a romantic comedy and, like most of Shakespeare's romantic comedies, it has a group of dashing, if not very profound, young men. For example, Solanio and Salarino are not terribly important. Their lines are interchangeable, and they are not really distinguishable from one another. They represent an element of youthful fancy’s. Salarino begins, typically, with a thought in which Antonio's ships are described as being like "rich burghers on the flood" and like birds, flying "with their woven wings." He continues into a delightfully fantastic series of imaginings; intended to bring Antonio out of his depression.…

After a while, Vingo confide in the girl, and starts telling what’s happened to him. He goes from being quiet and shy, to telling the girl his story. The fact that he has been in jail for the last four years says a lot about him and his situation. He probably didn’t have anybody to speak to about his situation when he was in jail, and he needs someone to tell his story to. This is probably the reason that he placed so much trust in the young stranger.…
