    Throughout literature, characters have allowed their head to overrule their heart, while others let their heart shine above their logic. These two mindsets can be described as Apollonian and Daemonic. As described by Paglia, Apollonian characteristics include the need to control nature 's chaos, explain tragedy, keep to the order of things, and stress the importance of status. Daemonic characteristics entail embracing chaotic and unreasonable emotion, such as love and hate. Emily Brontë 's, Wuthering Heights, presents the two internal conflicts with the characters Heathcliff, Edgar, Catherine, Hareton, and Cathy. Emily stages the extremes of each conflict with Heathcliff as the major daemonic character, and Edgar as the apollonian. In the end, one person cannot entail all of one of these conflicts and survive happily; a person needs balance like Hareton and Cathy. The apollonian Edgar and the daemonic Heathcliff create emotional conflict for the torn Catherine in Wuthering Heights, while the second generation corrects the imbalance.…

    Most people observe the world and conclude that there is no doubt an order and design. One such believer was philosopher William Paley, an 18th century English clergymen who concluded that there was an intelligent design of the universe and thus must exist an intelligent designer. Now a commonly used term amongst theologists and philosophers, intelligent design refers to the belief that certain features of the universe can best be explained by a higher cause. While an orderly universe created for man-kind may be the more popular and optimistic opinion, I see disorder and chaos every where I look. From early on in life, I have always seen the world as a place that needs structure brought to it, not something with an innate organization. My color…

The first person he seeks revenge on is Hindley, who was responsible for the time that Heathcliff spent as a laborer.

    William Faulkner explains why the story is not about him, but his details about a lonely poor woman named Miss Emily is very unpredictable. Miss Emily is unable to grip the idea of death and suffers from denial. After the death of her father, the people from the town expected her to be in a state of grief but she is not. Instead, she proceeds to say that her father is very well with her and alive. William Faulkner’s idea of grieving is clear in this story because he shows his audience that it is better to accept death than to ignore it through the accounts of Miss Emily’s journey. William Faulkner’s story takes place in the South, during a time period of racial discrimination and major changes. By using reader response criticism, a reader can analyze “A Rose for Emily” through the aspects of the secret held within the story, race found through anthropology, and gender found through anthropology.…
