Even though there are virtuous heroes in fiction, an antihero does not usually fight for a greater cause, nor does he stand up for an ideal; he is typically selfish, self-aggrandizing, and often emotionally tortured or damaged in some way. An antihero hardly ever takes the overt side of the good or bad guys, instead acting according to his own interests, making him slightly more complex than your typical goody-two-shoes hero. Fyodor Dostoyevsky's dark 1864 book Notes from the Underground tells the story of the Underground Man, a rambling, incoherent, and bitter civil servant in St. Petersburg. The novel's tale is ...

Geothermal energy is a source of energy that has become very common as a sustainable energy source in numerous countries across the world. Geothermal energy owes its origin to volcanic activity that occurs in the earth’s core and mantle. Rain water or water form surface runoff may collect in underground reservoirs of water. The volcanic activity below such reservoirs heats the water. The water is normally trapped such that it cannot escape. This leads to build up of a lot of pressure causing it to become superheated. Eventually, the water rises to the surface through fault lines on the rocks.

Notes from the Underground chronicles the story of a man who has essentially separated himself from society in every way possible; this character, called the Underground Man, shares his thoughts and feelings with the reader throughout the text. Like many of Dostoyevsky's heroes, the Underground Man consistently expresses his discontent with society as a whole, continuously lamenting its ills and feeling severely detached and isolated (Dostoyevsky). The character of the Underground Man is full of self-loathing, and the reader becomes lost in his head: his logic, so shaped by this self-loathing, becomes twisted and self-affirming. The character of the Underground ...

Fyodor Dostoyevsky's existentialist 1864 novel Notes from the Underground tells the tale of the Underground Man, a rambling, incoherent, and bitter civil servant in St. Petersburg. The novel's story is told from the perspective of this strange and mercurial character, in the form of monologues and diary entries that convey the man's potentially skewed perspective. While we see the world through his eyes (and therefore his morals), the Underground Man is most decidedly an anti-hero in his actions and attitudes. Unlike most virtuous heroes in fiction, an anti-hero does not fight for a greater cause, nor does he stand up for ...

Did Beatle­-Mania’s influence on Soviet teenagers contribute to the fall of the Iron Curtain? An argument can be made that Gorbachev’s opening up to the West through glasnost and perestroika was the final nail in the coffin of the Soviet Union. However, due to the overwhelming evidence of an underground musical movement amongst the Soviet youth, the demands of a disillusioned youth were the catalysts for these reforms. With this taken into consideration, a major change in the political landscape of Russia’s domestic and foreign policy may be observed through three stages, initial distribution, Soviet push back, ...

Transportation costs for waste disposal are the most expensive part of your annual waste disposal costs.

“Super-Frog Saves Tokyo” is a unique and praiseworthy short story. There are several important themes, the main one concerning responsibilities that people should take on regardless of rewards or recognition. Additionally, the author uses place intelligently, both literally and symbolically, to further accentuate the themes. The place underneath the ground is a destination of anxiety as it is the enemy’s abode and also could be the cause of an earthquake. To get to Worm’s den, Frog and Katagiri experience a chain of places which are secret from the eyes of the wider community, similar to the metaphorical “underground” where ...

The pyramids of Egypt are undeniably full of mysteries, especially regarding how they were managed to be built. However, it seems easier to focus on the number of pyramids, instead of their architecture or engineering, because of the existence of historical texts and archaeological data found within these pyramids that could explain their purpose (Rawlison & Gilman 59-67). Most historians and scientists agree that the pyramids were made as a monument for a deceased pharaoh. The pyramids would serve as the ruler’s palace in the afterlife, so they were made with highly decorated rooms and passages filled with worldly possessions. ...

In the history of American society, there were both gruesome and inhuman events and policies. There were times when people were not just denied of their human rights, but even of their human nature and inborn equality. Slavery and racial segregation are humiliating features of American history. Some might suggest that they should be forgotten and life should take its normal pace of democratic development. I think that by forgetting the gruesome past of the history, society is doomed to repeat it, and by rejecting the atmosphere people lived and died in, modern society is also forgetting sacrifices of ...
