    watchmen audley draft essay

    Both the works of Watchmen and Lady Audley’s Secret are fiction tales that mirror themes of ideology and class, and the accompanying tension. Moreover, in each of the works there are some local events and issues that close connection with the time of release and the contents of these two works. Specifically, in the former work there was the underlying event of an increase in the urbanization of Britain. This was accompanied by a greater accumulation of wealth by part of the population, and this led to the formation of classes, so many people increased in their rank in society. Furthermore, the swelling of the population also meant that there was a shift from the small village of the past where the locals could be well acquainted with everyone to urban society, and all their daily affairs or unusual controversies. The shift from Lady Audley holding the traditional role of a house keeper who is completely innocent and harmless to a violent and dangerous person going to lengths to conceal her identity is evidence of the extent of this shift.…

    The Island of Dr. Moreau

    During the Victorian age, the streets of London were clothed with fear. The people were cautious and hesitant to walk the streets at night. This was the time when the infamous Jack the Ripper was preying on helpless victims. Much like the small bunny in The Island of Dr. Moreau, a vulnerable woman could have been easily torn apart just seconds from her home. The people of this time lived double lives. They pretended to be of high-society and refrained from all degenerate things when people were watching, but when the lights went out they would secretly indulge in there “guilty pleasures” – whether they be homosexuality or ripping their neighbors and animals bodies apart for science. Like the creations in the book, the people of this time pretended to do what was expected of them and lead the lives everyone thought they did; however, once they tasted blood, they couldn’t stop.…

    The Landlady By Roald Dahl

    “Many people define horror by its subjects. But we all know that horror covers more than these monsters,” Sharon A. Russell said in her article “What is the Horror Genre?”. For a story to be considered horror, it needs to have many elements, like a spooky setting, and supernatural occurrence. Some stories just are not considered horror. “The Landlady”, by Roald Dahl, is not a horror story because the characters are important, the setting is not spooky, and nothing is supernatural.…

    The Questions of Gender in English Literature

    Throughout time in Early Modern England, both gender hierarchy and the husband 's patriarchal job as the sole leader of his family and household were believed to have been the wishes of God. These beliefs were instilled in the literature of this time period mainly due to this great religious influence. The patriarch’s role was sometimes even seen equal to the Hand of God himself, but more commonly the king in the state. Both unmarried women and married women were often reminded of their rightful duty to anything requested from their husband, or any male for that matter. Also servants and children were the most dependent on their father’s and owner’s. This strict dependence can be seen throughout many novels and stories in English literature, some of which include “The Horse Dealer’s Daughter”, “Frankenstein”, “The Importance of Being Earnest”, “The Waiter’s Wife”, “Shakespeare’s Sister”, and “Death by Landscape”.…

    Dubliners by James Joyce

    In the opening story of James Joyce’s Dubliners we have The Sisters and the theme of religion and paralysis. Joyce looking at the relationship between Ireland and the Catholic Church and the state of paralysis between the two. The story tells the tale of a young unnamed boy and his relationship with an elderly catholic priest at the turn of the 20th century and the difficulties the young boy feels because of the priest’s death. The narrator of the story, the young boy who remains nameless, starts with openness which can be interpreted as innocence and finishes withdrawn, with not knowing how to react to the priest’s death. He introduces us to the story and eventually the narrative is taken over by one of the sisters Eliza, in the form of the third person. The effect achieved by Joyce by doing this (switching narrators) is that if gives a sense of detachment. This is deliberate as Joyce is highlighting the wide gap that existed between people at the time and the Catholic Church.…

    Something Fresh and P. G. Wodehouse

    P.G. Wodehouse is quite well-known for his portrayal of eccentric, snobbish and socially-parasitic aristocrats in his different chronicles.Lord Emsworth is the main character of the Blandings Castle Books, which are based out of the fictional Emsworth estate, of which he is supposed to be the head. Lord Emsworth is a great sample of a "Wodehouse type", which are characters that bear the unique and funny characteristics that make them so awkward. Lord Emsworth: a man whose great rank and position in the highest class of society is juxtaposed to his lack of intelligence and common sense.…

    style and technique in lucky jim

    Lucky Jim is a conventional novel; its narration is third person, its development is chronological, and its style is a conventional mixture of dialogue and description. The characterizations are clearly and sharply drawn. The novel abounds in verbal wit, comic gesture, and good natured satire. One of its most distinguished qualities is the pacing and power of key descriptive passages. Amis controls and builds excruciatingly comic tension in such descriptions as Welch attempting to pass a van on a curve with a bus veering down from the opposite direction or Jim awakening with a hangover to discover that his mouth still bears witness to his excesses.…
