    Modernism in Literature Introduction The horrors of World War I (1914-19)‚ with its accompanying atrocities and senselessness became the catalyst for the Modernist movement in literature. Modernist authors felt betrayed by the war‚ believing that the institutions in which they were taught had led the civilized world into bloody conflict. They no longer turned to these institutions as a reliable means to decipher the meaning of life but instead sought for the answers within themselves. Thus‚ the

    The Flaw of Truth The truth to a writer who uses magical realism is like a sunshade over a blooming flower. The flower may still live‚ but its beauty isn’t as magnificent. Truth needs to be somewhat apparent in a work‚ but a writer using magical realism needs creativity. Magical realism may not create a truthful story‚ but one with meaning. The movie Big Fish offers sagaciousness into how a writer or a storyteller can use magical realism to show the reader something that the truth makes commonplace

    Manet and Modernism: A Perspective on Manet Modernism‚ as it relates to the work of Edouard Manet‚ requires at least two caveats as prerequisites to forming a perspective. The problem is twofold: 1) ‘modernism’ is a term with broad‚ even sometimes vague‚ definitions‚ and 2) Edouard Manet’s prolific work is open to broad degrees of interpretation. In the first instance‚ and for the contextual purposes of this essay‚ ‘modernism’ can be described here as primarily including efforts in the field

    nothing happens in terms of action as the latter is predetermined. Ross and Guild are part of a script that has already been written by Shakespeare and hence are part of the action that is beyond their control and understanding. Elizabeth Banks in her essay Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead‚ and Obscured by Language writes that “they are “replaceable pawns in the chess game of history” (Gussow)‚ drifting along in the eddies and whirls of life. Stoppard takes full advantage of this idea in the play

    Literary realism is the trend‚ beginning with mid nineteenth-century French literature and extending to late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century authors‚ toward depictions of contemporary life and society as it was‚ or is. In the spirit of general "realism‚" realist authors opted for depictions of everyday and banal activities and experiences‚ instead of a romanticized or similarly stylized presentation. George Eliot’s novel Middlemarch stands as a great milestone in the realist tradition

American realism is a combination of the analytical positivism and sociological approaches. It is positivist in that it first considers the law as it is. On the other hand‚ the law as it stands is the product of many factors. In as much as the realists are interested in sociological and other factors that influence the law

    Realism is one of the key theories in international relations. Realism can be simply understood as a political point of view‚ which emphasizes on competition among countries in terms of power‚ with the aim of reinforcing their national security. For some scholars‚ realism is already obsolete as it only makes sense in the time of war. However‚ with regard to many issues arising‚ its premises and tenets still stand the test of the time‚ proving their reasonability. When it comes to realism‚ classical

    Defoe’s Adventures of Robinson Crusoe‚ first published in 1719‚ was the only earlier prose fiction to earn similar favour. The change in opinion‚ as well as the last step in the novel’s rise to sovereignty‚ has been attributed to the growing presence of realism as the novel’s defining formal characteristic. Before the eighteenth century‚ prose fiction was a relatively rare phenomenon and aroused controversy about narrative fabrication‚ a largely religious concern quite foreign to readers today. Nonetheless
