While the termination of some relationships mark a bitter and unfortunate end‚ sometimes the pair is better off without each other. In his article “How People Go to Hell”‚ Günther Schmigalle argues that Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises can and should be “placed in the tradition of philosophical pessimism and the genre of tragedy”. Schmigalle argues that Jake and Brett’s relationship falls into the genre of tragedy‚ however I believe the disintegration of their relationship should be categorized as

Social anxiety and ruminating in The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock I was very interested in investigating and understanding The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock since there are certain coincidences between Prufrock and me. These coincidences are based on behavior‚ ways of thinking and social performance.

In the poem The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T. S. Eliot‚ I found it easy to relate to the author’s feelings of inadequacy. The narrator was constantly bringing up other famous artists and comparing himself to them‚ only to inevitably fall short of his own expectations. Eliot exemplified it best through the repeated line “In the room the women come and go/ Talking of Michelangelo”. The narrator brings up the famous and very talented artist Michelangelo‚ who is still talked about by the women

geography of each hell and its denizens changes drastically through out the decades‚ as literature is spread across the world. The earliest piece that I chose to examine was Dante Alighieri’s Inferno‚ which dates back to sometime between 1265 and 1321. I also chose Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus (1564-1593)‚ Jean Paul Sartre’s No Exit (1945) to show the transformation over time. The final piece of literature that I picked‚ and also found was most compelling‚ was Robert Olen Butler’s Hell (2009). While

Abyss of Misery Hell‚ described by Johnathan Edwards is “a great furnace of wrath‚ a wide and bottomless pit‚ full of the fire of wrath.” For this average teenager in America‚ my definition of hell is much different than the hell of 1953’s Johnathan Edwards. For me hell is a term used to describe the unknown. What I am trying to say is that there is no hell‚ it is just a floating concept created and used by some people. I believe that we‚ as humans created a place known as hell in order to scare

and stop it. However‚ most of us do not realize the limited amount of time in our lives that we are given until we are old‚ and have faced the repercussions that life brings to the table . In T.S. Eliot’s classic poem “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock‚” time is essentially of the essence. Throughout the entire work of literature‚ the poem’s speaker always reflects back to time‚ and how they have lived their life as they grow older. With this poem‚ Eliot was able to express his beliefs on love

describe‚ how song of j. Alfred prufrock could be a modernist poem? As with many other works of the Modern period in English literature‚ T. S. Eliot utilizes fragmentation‚ allusion‚ and symbolism to show J. Alfred Prufrock’s inability to act towards the outside world. Prufrock appears‚ in the poem‚ to be a middle-aged balding man who has a very pressing question to ask someone (presumably a woman); however‚ he finds it hard to vocalize his feelings to other people. Instead‚ he spends his time dwelling

Every time the word hell comes up‚ the first thing that comes to mind is a hot underground warehouse that is home to many bad people who passed away. Nevertheless‚ hell is a scorching dwelling for evil human beings. However‚ some may argue in saying that hell is a freezing dungeon. Maybe those people probably got that information from an excommunicated Catholic who made up hell and decided who was inside of the “Inferno”. Then again‚ our religious beliefs are all made up. It is that people have faith

1. Paradise Lost emphasizes imagery in the descriptions of Hell. John Milton‚ the author‚ describes Hell as “whirlwinds of tempestuous fire.” The motif of fire illustrates the scene in frustration and agony. Satan resides in a fiery‚ dark place away from inhabitants. Usually‚ fire is depicted as a warm comforted glow in literature. However‚ the depiction of Hell is seen as intense and unsettling to Satan. 2 a) John Milton describe Adam and Eve‚ the first humans‚ turning away from God and committing
