“The Tempest is more than romance‚ for its characters exceed the roles of villains and heroes‚ some of them becoming villains and heroes…The Tempest belongs not only to the world of romance‚ but also to the period of colonialism‚ written as it was in the early stages of the European exploration and conquest of the New World” (Mowat and Werstine). Mowat and Werstine’s idea that The Tempest is both a romantic novel and expresses colonialism is shown through the master mind of the story’s plot named

"The most insistent and vigorous historicism through most of the twentieth century has been Marxism‚ based on the work of Karl Marx (1818-1883)" (Marxist Criticism"). Even though this critical theory has been proved to be flawed‚ this theory is quite helpful when used to "interpret the failure of Marxist regimes" (Tyson 49). Some of the fundamental premises include the idea that how an economy functions is the base of every society‚ that all human events and productions have specific material/historical

like best about Deborah Tannen’s essay is how she gives specific details on the effects of having an “adversarial frame of mind” impacts our daily lives. Tannen supports her claim about how the argument culture is shaping our lives by giving an example regarding the Holocaust that has long been a part of our history‚ but is now being questioned of its existence because we “assume there must be another side”. I believe that mass media promotes adversarial disposition by creating conflict between

Since its publication in 1981‚ Joy Kogawa’s Obasan has assumed an important place in Canadian literature and in the broadly-defined‚ Asian-American literary canon.
