This reflects themes presented in Marlowe’s pre-gothic play ‘Doctor

"Pertelote is much more than a mere hen" how far do you agree with this? I feel that this comment is extremely justified. Chaucer with the use of a beast fable has helped to elevate what would be considered a conventionally boring set of animals‚ and turn them into portrayals of human beings. As a cock he may have came from the same batch of eggs as his hens‚ but as poultry it would not matter whether chauntecleer mates with his sisters. However some critics suggest the introduction of the human

But there is one topic that stood out the most and that was the idea of norms. Norms are much more different than that of mores‚ taboos‚ rules‚ regulations‚ and laws.

How Far is too Far? Nathaniel Hawthorne’s representation of the Puritan’s strict religious ways in his novel‚ The Scarlet Letter‚ wasn’t just an observation of the problematic religious society‚ but‚ rather‚ a criticism of their extremist beliefs. The Scarlet Letter forces its audience to realize how sins are severely punished‚ and how religion is an enormous contributor to historical conflicts and the part it has played in the most recent wave of terrorism and religious controversy.

Forster’s novel‚ A Passage to India is based primarily on the root friendship between the English and Indians‚ Forster the omniscient narrator gives us his point of view of how he experienced India to be a disheartening place at the time filled with stereotyping. I believe he wrote this novel because he was also disheartened by his own kind and their inability to connect and understand the prejudice of the Indians. This novel is very contrasting as Forster’s Eurocentric view of India differs much
