The Thematic Parallels Between Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov
Chelsea Greenlee Dostoevsky 0 August 2011 The Thematic Parallels Between Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov Between the years 1866 and 1880, Russian author and philosopher Fyodor Dostoevsky completed several renowned novels, including Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, Demons, and The Brothers Karamazov.1 In each of his novels, Dostoevsky examines and interprets several social, physical, mental, and emotional situations and conditions which he believed to both influence and shape the nature of humanity. His theories concerning the causes and effects of these situations are evident throughout each of his works. Despite the fourteen-year gap between when he wrote the first of his novels, Crime and Punishment, and the last, The Brothers Karamazov, the parallel thematic elements in Dostoevsky's writings remain constant. Both The Brothers Karamazov and Crime and Punishment contain corresponding central themes including the motivations and psychological consequences of murder, the suffering of children and the foundation of that suffering, and the effects of the influence and the manipulation of money. Furthermore, Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov also represent the theories of philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin, concerning his interpretation of Dostoevsky's works as "polyphonic novels," which contain multiple voices in a dialogue of "polyphonic truth."
Fast Food Nation
Fast Food Nation America prides itself in being the most diverse country in the world, but one of the things Americans have in common is the way they think about capitalism. Capitalism is about increasing money. Americans don't believe in labor as much as they do in capital. A free market requires just as many buyers as sellers. Although they get the same terms of trade and the same access to information, none have a big enough share in the market to influence prices. The triumph of the free market is basically taking money from the poor and giving it to the wealthy. Fast food has permeated every aspect of American society. Although fast food may seem like the foundation of American culture, it has some serious consequences on society. Rising in the fast food industry caused a noticeable increase in food poisoning, inhumane working conditions in meat packing plants and manipulation of children through television. Food poisoning has become a large concern in American Society. "In the United States roughly 200,000 people are sickened by a food borne disease, 900 are hospitalized and 14 die", (195). There is evidence that the risk of food related illnesses have risen and that the consequences are becoming way more severe. There are many factors that contribute to the rise of food borne illnesses but the main one is the change in how food is produced. E coli 0517: H7 is a new

6. "Madness need not be all break-down. It may also be break-through. It is potential liberation and renewal as well as enslavement and existential death." R. D. Laing (The Politics of Experience) Discuss this quote in relation to at least one of the texts from the module. One of the most important aspects of the relationship between gender and madness is dominantly displayed in both texts, examining issues of the nature versus nurture debate and flaws in personal identity, as well as the misogyny of dominant ideals in a patriarchal society. 'What a man is is an arrow into the future and what a woman is is the place the arrow shoots off from...' [1] states Buddy's mother, confirming her submissive role as 'housewife' and dependency on men. Gender and madness are used to define both protagonists' identity; through the use of binary opposition they are able to identify themselves against 'the other'. Bank's The Wasp Factory focuses predominantly on the power of gender, associating masculine power and feminine weakness. According to Frances, women are weak and stupid consequently they will always be inferior. "My GREATEST ENEMIES ARE Women and the Sea. These things I hate. Women because they are weak and stupid and live in the shadow of men." [2] 'His' views of women are that they posses no power of identity, building their identities on that of the men they are with, and
Tragedy of Tess of the D'Urbervilles
6.6.2008 Guided Text Production SS Aija Korhonen Benjamin Wright 0620782 Term Paper Tragedy According to Tess of D'Urbervilles Thomas Hardy's (1840-1928) novel Tess of the D'Urbervilles (1891) was Hardy's attempt to take a closer look upon the ideals of his era, and through Tess and her story, criticize it. Hardy himself said of tragedy; "It may be put thus in brief: a tragedy exhibits a state of things in the life on an individual which unavoidably causes some natural aim or desire of his to end in a catastrophe when carried out." There are many ways to perceive a text as a tragedy, beginning from Aristotle who was the first to define the term and concept of tragedy as "the imitation of an action which is serious, complete and substantial" and "by evoking pity and terror it brings about the purgation of those emotions". During the Renaissance, however, the concept of tragedy experienced a reformation and was fitted to express the qualities admired by the society, and later, England during the Victorian era also reformed Aristotle's ideas to accommodate their religious as well as largely accepted social norms and views. This essay will take a closer look of those ideas at tragedy raised by Aristotle, some of the times when tragedy went through reformation, and Hardy himself, all in connection to Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles and the questions, and
'The story I am telling is all imagination. These characters I create never existed outside my own mind.'(John Fowles). Discuss the way in which any two texts studied on the course problematise the process of storytelling and/or the role of the author.
'The story I am telling is all imagination. These characters I create never existed outside my own mind.'(John Fowles). Discuss the way in which any two texts studied on the course problematise the process of storytelling and/or the role of the author. According to Nelson Vieira, John Fowles' The French Lieutenant's Woman: 'falls under the rubric of what is commonly known today as metafiction. Metafictional writers thus operate and function with a freedom of exposing illusion for what it is- a device used to mask narrative as a construct and a figment of one's imagination.'1 John Fowles has no qualms about admitting that literature is, in fact just an illusion. This is most noticeable in his telling the reader that 'The story I am telling is all imagination. The characters I create never existed outside my own mind'2. It seems then, that John Fowles, in destroying the reader's illusion, and also destroys the 'suspension of disbelief necessary in following a story told by an omniscient narrator'3 Fowles' destruction of this suspension of disbelief in reminding us of the fictitious nature of all characters and events taking place creates a gulf between himself, or his story, and the reader. To be drawn into the world of fiction, we must feel that it is true, and that we are a part of a real world, and not merely some illusion or magic trick. It is also impossible for the
In Crime and Punishment, both Sonya and Dunya are the embodiments of Christian virtue, which they demonstrate in their self-sacrifice, abasement, and suffering.
Chelsea Greenlee Dostoevsky 6 April 2011 Women as Images of Christian Virtue and Sacrifice During the 19th century, author and philosopher Fyodor Dostoyevsky used his novels as a means to explore human psychology and perception in the troubled political, social, and spiritual context of Imperial Russian society. While in prison serving a sentence for his membership in the liberal intellectual group the Petrashevsky Circle, Dostoevsky underwent a powerful conversion experience, which greatly strengthened his Christian Orthodox faith and encouraged him to extol the virtues of humility, submission, and suffering. The incredible impact of Dostoevsky's conversion experience and the subsequent strengthening of his faith are evident throughout his novels, in which characters, most often women, fully embody these Christian values. As is characteristic of his writings, Dostoevsky's novel Crime and Punishment communicates his admiration of Christ-like virtues and his great respect for "proud women," using remarkable but tortured female characters, such as Pulcheria, Katerina, Sonya, and Dunya, to illustrate spiritual and social truths. This is especially true of the novel's two most prominent female characters, Dunya and Sonya. In Crime and Punishment, both Sonya and Dunya are the embodiments of Christian virtue, which they demonstrate in their self-sacrifice, abasement, and
In what ways, and to what extent, does Mrs Dalloway illustrate Woolfs intention to use her novel to criticise the social system, and to show it at work, at its most intense ? (Woolf, A Writers Diary, 1923)
Mrs Dalloway. In what ways, and to what extent, does Mrs Dalloway illustrate Woolf's intention to use her novel to "criticise the social system, and to show it at work, at its most intense" ? (Woolf, A Writer's Diary, 1923) This essay will be investigating to what extent Woolf used her novel Mrs Dalloway to criticise the social system. To do this I will be taking into account the year the novel was written, and examining the social situations which the reader could have perceived to be critical. Also, it will be important to acknowledge that some of the socially critical situations Woolf uses had not been encountered before, and to reason that perhaps Woolf wrote Mrs Dalloway to try and draw public attentions to the reaction to events that the general public, politicians and all the social classes had no idea how to deal with. At the same time the essay will use these points to connect the novel and Woolf to its modernist roots. Woolf began writing what would become Mrs Dalloway in the summer of 1922 shortly after World War 1 had ended. Public suffering from the war was still inflicting its massive after effects, and Woolf wanted to write an expression of what she felt was happening. On my initial forays into researching Virginia Woolf my opinion was very closed, I felt she was very insular. Commenting on the outside world from the safety of her own well educated and
Diaspora in Junot Diaz's "The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao".
0. Diaspora in The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao Diaspora is a term that impends on Caribbean history. Otherwise called immigration or movement of nations, it is entwined among the diverse origins of the Caribbean.1 The Dominican Republic has witnessed two major events of diaspora, which Junot Diaz writes about in his novel The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. The first major movement brought African slaves to the area in the 16th century and the second mass movement of Dominicans to the United States was under the rule of Trujillo's dictatorship from the 1930s. Junot Diaz's novel tells the history of Dominicans with one fictional family, grandparent and parents living in the time of Trujillo in the Dominican Republic, and children living in the Dominican habited areas in the US. As a society, the Dominicans are essentially composed of diasporas. Aspects of Dominican culture agree with this statement, as The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao also presents curses, fukù, and other old beliefs tracing back to the slave trade that supposedly still haunt the children of their ancestors today. Even the language used in the novel, as well as in the Dominican Republic and areas habited by them, is multicultural. Using both English and Spanish, especially Spanish slang, Diaz creates a heterogenous environment for the reader and reminds that the linguistic borders, as well as
