"I’m Nobody! Who are you?" is a case of one of Dickinson’s all the more interesting sonnets‚ yet the comic drama is not just for delight. Or maybe‚ it contains a gnawing parody of people in general circle‚ both of the general population figures who have the advantage of it‚ and of the masses who license them to. Dickinson’s light tone‚ silly voice‚ and welcome to the peruser to be on her side‚ nonetheless‚ keep the sharp edge of the parody from cutting too stingingly. This sonnet derides the claims

Oppositions are a feature of Gothic texts. How does Austen use this in the first five chapters of ‘Northanger Abbey’. In Jane Austen’s novel‚ ‘Northanger Abbey’ [NA]‚ oppositions feature strongly as a method which the author uses often to parody the public’s expectation of what a gothic should consist of‚ and as a method of highlighting the ridiculous expectations novels can create for people in the real world. Frequently throughout the novel‚ Miss Austen even breaks the fourth wall of writing to

Jane Eyre is both a mirror of Charlotte Bronte’s life and a reflection of her desires. Many aspects of Charlotte’s own life are found in the story of Jane Eyre.

Charlotte’s brother has a very similar story to that

Also‚ one writing tool that Austen uses well is free-indirect discourse. Free indirect discourse is when the
