    Can a person die of happiness? That’s what seems to happen in Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour”. Mrs. Mallard received the horrible news of her husband’s passing due to a train accident. However, as we read further into the story we realized that Mrs. Mallard is not that upset with her newfound freedom. But the narrative comes to a climax when Mrs. Mallard dies upon discovering that her husband is actually alive. Doctors pronounce the cause of death - “joy that kills”. It is debatable if someone could die from hearing good news. Mrs. Mallard believed that her husband died and she finally could be free to live her life, but was rudely awakened by seeing him alive. Her imaginative freedom was taken away from her and that’s what her heart couldn’t take. It was not the joy that killed Mrs. Mallard but rather discovering that her husband is alive and her freedom would be lost again, thus causing her death.…

    In both texts, “The Jew of Malta” by Christopher Marlowe and “The Shipman’s Tale” by Geoffrey Chaucer women are presented as accessory characters who are at the disposal of the male protagonist. To a medieval reader the restrictions women were succumbed to when it came to participating in political, economical, and social affairs may have been normal, yet to a contemporary reader, their treatment and participation in literature is essential to understanding their place. While the role of a woman is limited, it is important to closely analyze if they are described as traditional and obedient or are they defiant. The representation of women in both the works of Marlowe and Chaucer have been recognized by scholars as positive. Ann Beskin argues…

    Life is like a journey, and we are like sailors that voyage to an unknown and brand-new territory everyday. There are things that we are willing to do, but, at the same time, we are all a little nervous that those things may backfire and hurt us. It’s a fear that comes naturally because we all know that we are too trivial to gain control over the world. In the poem “The Story”, Karen Conelly examined the confrontation between insignificance and vastness and conveyed the idea that human’s deepest fear is the fear of being consumed by things he does voluntarily.…
