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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Transportation costs for waste disposal are the most expensive part of your annual waste disposal costs. Along with that comes the noisy clanking of garbage trucks dumping the contents of the garbage bins into their truck’s garbage container and the mess around garbage bins on the street that never seems to stay picked plus the wear and tear on the streets. There are already some intriguing solutions being used in South Korea (by 1.3 million people), in Barcelona and in Wembley, England.

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 ...

"Pop" is a shortened term for popular art which became an important art ethos in the late 1950s (Delves, p. 12). It is also considered as an art movement which intends to “blur the boundaries between "high" art and "low" culture” (Scherman & Dalton, ...

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 ...
