Essays on Cautionary

The epistolary novel and intimacy are often branded as synonymous terms. The Coquette initially aligns itself as simply an epistolary novel, as the controlled expression of the writers, and limited point of view, offered by the letter form, allows the two leading men to reveal their true thoughts, whether they are the suddenly untempered passions of Reverend Boyer or the duplicitous libertinism of Major Sanford, in a limited and controlled way.

Can every business have a sustainable future, and does it matter?

Can everyone be successful? Yes. But has everyone become successful then? No. Business entities have similar philosophical baseline.

Creation is defined as the act of bringing something into existence, and the creation of man itself is normally attributed to procreation or an act of some divine being.

Throughout the course of American mythology and literature, there is a curious persistence of the concept of the American dream. From the very beginning of western influence on the continent, groups of people have constantly flocked to the land in search of a fabled life better than their own. Even among natural born citizens, there exists a belief that life can become whatever a person desires, as long as they work hard. Playwright Arthur Miller frequently wrote about and depicted this ideology. Through his play Death of a Salesman, Miller denounces the American dream as impossible and unrealistic for society as a whole, due to ...

It is a well-known fact that Mary Shelley’s family relationships were beset by difficulties, and she somehow ended up reflecting on them in her novel, Frankenstein. There are quite a few essays that prove the point that Mary Shelly expressed her own life into her fictional novel.

Through her essay, Frankenstein’ – a cautionary tale of bad parenting” and despite the use of limited ...

Organized crime and gangs were a part of the media zeitgeist, as Al Capone, Chicago mobs and other big-city trades peddled drugs, alcohol, and sex. The presence of these vices, and their increased prevalence in American culture, demonstrated the need (or at least the desire) to combat them through preventative measures and cautionary tales to make sure the youth of America did not get lured into these same ...
