Jonathan Swift’s powerful satire offers a misanthropist’s perspective of the world, one who has lost faith in and has succumbed to the disillusionment in humankind.

However, at the very end of the novel, it becomes clear that only a person who profoundly cares about the state of humanity could have written a work that touches upon all these issues in such a satirical ...

Modernism, as its manifestly obvious name suggests, represents an idea, thought, movement or character that is modern. This term “modern” exemplifies different cultural tendencies and related intellectual movements taking place during the late 19th and early 20th century, roughly dating from 1860s to 1970s. It surfaced as rebellious angst struggling against the overly conservative realism, sternly rejecting tradition and endeavoring to create a new form of already existing artistic and intellectual modes of human existence, with rewriting, reevaluating and recapitalizing human certainty of existence. It gave birth to self-conscious authors whose physical existence was marred by the newly emerging technology, ...

What is the meaning of life? This question has pre-occupied human existence for ages. This quest for meaning is reflected in scientific expeditions, art, and in most religious gatherings. In “O Me! O Life!” Walt Whitman mocks this human pre-occupation with finding meaning. The fear of not knowing what life is and of being dissatisfied with one’s contribution cripples the spirit of life. Not only does he see human folly in people around him but also in himself. Life has become a “recurring” and “endless” lamentation on sorrow, sorrow that is induced by constant self-flagellation. This paper seeks to ...

I chose to look at Philip Larkin’s Ambulances.
