she was no heroine and he no hero‚ but both of them became greater than that‚ not by any means by being relieved of the distress‚ the agony‚ and the paradox‚ but because of these (Kierkegaard 94).” Mary‚ like Abraham‚ is tested by God through her virgin birth.

The same “strength of the absurd‚” a virgin birth

INTRODUCTION: NEW CRITICISM American New Criticism is named after John Crowe Ransom’s 1941 book The New Criticism. The movement focused on the text of a work of literature and excluded the reader’s response‚ the author’s intentions‚ historical and cultural contexts and moralistic bias from their analysis.

Using paradox‚ polysyndeton‚ and parallel sentence structure as rhetorical strategies‚ Louv illustrates our gradual but definite separation from nature.

All Quiet on the Western Front “Little souls who thirst for fight‚ these men were born to drill and die” (Crane 7-8). Stephen Crane’s poem acknowledges the fact that many soldiers in the war have fought for survival‚ dehumanized‚ and lost lives for their country.
