Torvald relentlessly demeans and belittles Nora, making her feel as fragile as a doll in a dollhouse. When she does manage to assert herself, she gets backhanded with comments from her husband such as "And you actually have the nerve to drag that up again? (Ibsen, p
The movement has been described in a number of terms, not all of them flattering. The doctrine of globalization has its roots in neoliberal ideology, in which the emancipation of the individual is equated with smaller government and greater economic freedom (Harvey, 2007)
Raymond Carver (1981) addresses self-determination in yet a third way in his short story "Cathedral." Freedom in this story is neither complete freedom to choose a path (Frost), nor complete external control over whether or not freedom will come by chance (Chopin)

" There is strong manifestation linking Willy's disillusionment with his perceived betrayal of his sons and society against him. This is because his staunch belief in himself and his sons -- that is, his "self-delusion and moral confusion," made him an individual who is in touch of his dreams and illusions, and not with his reality (Centola, 1993:1)
This makes him socially handicapped, not only eliciting an image of a failure to other people, but also to his own family and although he does not acknowledge it, to himself as well. In effect, he is "trapped in a society which prevents him establishing anything to outlast himself, ruining the lives of his sons as well as his own" (Parker, 1969:97)
. dependent on his father's conception of success and manhood and on his father's approval" (Ribkoff, 2000:2)
The wish to be free from monstrous drives. Poe was the first writer to press the relationship between monster or criminal and the reader to the point where it became simultaneously unbearable and pleasurable" (Frank, 1997:2)
Death as a form of escape or concealment of Montresor's insanity in the "Cask" is depicted in the act of entombing Fortunato alive in the protagonist's underground cellar. Death, in this context, assumes a new meaning, wherein Forunato's being buried alive is analogous to Montresor's insanity: just as darkness and the hardness of the stone is closing in on Fortunato, his murder also marks the "closing in" or eventual dominance of insanity to Montresor's whole being (Thomson, 2002:339)
In fact, at the beginning of the story Rainsford tells Whitney, "The world is made up of two classes -- the hunters and the huntees. Luckily, you and I are hunters" (Connell, 1924)
Evil must be your only happiness. Welcome again, my children, to the communion of your race," and Hawthorne certainly seems to suggest that, by not embracing evil, Brown chose to be unhappy (Hawthorne, 1835)
Woolf also included frustratingly impersonal doctor characters that reflected doctors she had visited throughout the years. Woolf attempted suicide three times in her life and was eventually successful (Bell, 1990)
While Clarissa is a "perfect hostess" who shows great creativity and social warmth in her parties, she is essentially a cold person. Peter recognizes this coldness as something "mortally dangerous" to Clarissa and says it is "the death of her soul"(Woolf, 77)
His braid and turban set him apart from the modern world; "his braid tumbled halfway down his back, a precursor to an imminent turban-wearing future. The length of his hair shocked even Vic as he stood with it naked to the world" (Chadha 1)
These towns in the early 20th century especially were small, and in much of the country served as the focal point of rural life, providing services for the surrounding rural areas. Over time, Main Street USA evolved into something of an ideal rather than a place (Wasserman, 2012)
Walt Disney devised the concept of Main Street USA as part of his theme parks, starting with the original park in southern California. Walt had grown up in a town called Marceline, MO around the turn of the 20th century and it was his childhood memories around which the idea of Main Street USA was built in the Disney context (Younger, 2010)
Sedgwick expresses this quite well on pages 105-06 as she shines light on why the Pilgrims originally came to the New World: "…When they came to the wilderness, they said, truly…they did virtually renounce all dependence on earthly supports; they left the land of their birth, of their homes, of their father's sepulchers; they sacrificed ease and preferment, and delights of sense -- and for what? To open for themselves an earthly paradise? To dress their bowers of pleasure, and rejoice with their wives and children? No: they came not for themselves, they lived not for themselves. An exiled and suffering people, they came forth in the dignity of the chosen servants of the Lord, to open the forests to the sunbeam…to restore man oppressed and trampled by his fellow…to replace the creatures of God on their natural level; to bring down the hills, and make smooth the rough places…[and they saw] a multitude of people where the solitary savage roamed the forest…the forest vanished…the consecrated church planted on the rock of heathen sacrifice…" (Sedgwick, 1842)
The voice in which it is articulated -- proud, confident, and upbeat - clearly points to Hughes's affirmation of his Black identity. Other elements are the simple repetition and familiar diction of the words as well as typical expression of the Negro's 'soul world" (Wintz, p
By comparison, this use of the third person limits the access of the reader to the characters and does not allow it to fully perceive the characters to their fullest imagined potential. Better said, the fact that all characters are introduced to a certain point by a third person narration transforms the reading experience from a dynamic stand to a passive one in which the reader must accept the descriptions and wording of the narrator as they come available and there is no space for the reader's imagination (Bloom, 2006)
We will always be little. For him we are just as we were then" (Cisneros, 2002) the fact that there is no intermediation between the author and the audience, provides an even more intimate consideration of the issues presented
