William Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 73” is one of his easiest to read and, simultaneously, one of his most interesting poems. It covers several themes but the main theme is of aging, and the passing of time. The unhappy speaker muses about his impeding old age, and how this reminds him about the importance of love.

The speaker and setting are inextricably linked and are central to the poem. ...

Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s The Yellow Wallpaper was published in 1892. The story introduces a candid female protagonist who’s isolation from society, and from her writing, drives her insane. Written from a first person perspective, the story allows the reader to become personally involved with the narrator. Gilman uses symbolism throughout the story, two examples of which are the wallpaper and the wallpaper pattern. The story reveals interesting clues about how mental illness was treated at the time, and how women in particular were repressed by society. Through the use of a first person narrator and symbolism, Gilman ...

Introduction For many centuries women were deprived of their natural rights to control their life and even body and yet the struggle for equal rights is still continuing. At some point, feminism acquired a negative connotation that people today associate with the fanaticism and misandry. It is quite difficult to explain why the movement that released so many women from their invisible prisons is criticized by the modern society. A lot of women have fought to overcome discrimination, prejudice, and stereotyping of womanhood by changing the laws, altering the views of the society, and fighting back their oppressors. In ...

1. The main difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation is that the first type originates from outside of the person’s aspiration, i.e. somebody perform the action just for the sake of pleasure to do it.

Fear appeals to be effective in order to attract someone’s attention to something or someone suspicious or dangerous. From personal experience, I would say that the most effective examples of persuasion based on fear are warnings regarding health and ...

Retroactive I is a silkscreen painting that Rauschenberg made in 1963. He used silkscreen and oil on a canvas to come up with this painting. This silkscreen work is considered the best of Rauschenberg's works of this nature. It falls within a series of similar paintings done by Rauschenberg between 1962 and 1964. This piece of art is drawn from the popular press and is, therefore, a representation of Pop art. Rauschenberg was keen in representing American iconography and Pop culture (Shanes, 175).

In Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper”, the typical Victorian marriage is constructed as a prisoner from which a woman is only able to escape when she becomes insane. Her insanity becomes her only way of defying her husband, and gaining freedom. The author’s feminist argument in “The Yellow Wallpaper” is skillfully constructed by creating a protagonist whose growing mental instability is narrated from her own perspective. However, ironically, at the same time with her worsening mental state, she evades the social rules and pressures which had entrapped her in an unhappy marriage. While her mental condition ...

American Literature

One of the most charming and striking characteristics of the American literature of the nineteenth century is its naïveté. The protagonists regardless of being positive or negative heroes have a unique trust to the world and people surrounding them. This naïveté adds to the romantic and sincere nature of the poem or short story. It usually enhances the idea mentioned in the story and is intended to emphasize the meaning of it. To a certain degree, it may be taken as a symbol of American literature of the nineteenth century as naïve ideals and naïveté ...

The greenish glow in the eyes of many animals such as cats, dogs, deer, cattle and horses is mainly because of a special kind of reflective surface that lies behind the ...

Medical experiences are completely dependent on an individual's gender. Men and women, in most cases, are more prone to illnesses, which differ in nature. Men are more prone to conditions, which affect their physical health while women tend to suffer from conditions, which affect their emotion/psychological health. This paper seeks to support the notion, which states that medical experiences depend on the gender of the patient in question. In the case of George Dedlow and the narrator in ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’, the two protagonists, who differ in gender, undergo completely different medical experiences. They are, however, both adversely affected ...

Even though few companies can set out to be racist in their adverts deliberately, sometimes their feeble attempts at humor and subtle prejudice can quickly backfire (Terlutter 111). A good example of humor attempts gone wrong is the Twin Lotus toothpaste advertisement in Thailand in 1982. The main intention of the advert was to show people that one should not judge someone or something based on appearance. Since the company is making an advertisement for a black toothpaste, they use a black man as a nice person who gets put down despite his nice intentions. The advert shows how ...

Some can touch the ball with their hands while some cannot. Some can get yellow cards while others can get red.

It leaves calm very few and can make the most modest and polite people rage and burst the emotions in their support for ...

Our modern world is full of implacable disparities. All living beings are classified into different categories. The animals, for example, will often be categorized into those who can run, feel coming danger and be able to escape it. The biggest diversity ever is probably that of the gender difference and gender stereotypes. No matter how much time passes, there will always exist that inevitable opposition between two sexes. Though stereotypical views of men and women have highly reduced in recent years, many people still believe that some of the gender-role stereotypes retained till the present day. The two genders ...

The three impressionist paintings I have chosen include the works of Caillebotte, Monet and Conder.
