The Demon Lover Analysis
In “The Demon Lover” by Elizabeth Bowen, the female protagonist, Kathleen Drover, finds that the atmosphere, interiorly and exteriorly of her former home, is similar to her repressed memories of a past life. Kathleen Drover arrives to her former residence with an initial plan to pack up a few items from her former life; the “steamy, showery day” (1) represents Kathleen’s need to restore her current life by obscuring memories that surfaced upon her arrival to the house. However, Kathleen, in an unstable mental state, cannot keep these memories from surfacing, and much like the poor ventilation in the house that makes “the whole drawing room [smell] of the cold hearth” (1), she cannot stop the memories from filling her thoughts.

    The Devil In The White City Analysis

    The historical nonfiction book The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson provides a comparison between the impressive White City of the Chicago World's Fair and the horror of H.H. Holmes's murder spree. It starts off in 1890 when Chicago finds out it's going to be hosting the World's Fair of 1893. Winning the bid meant so much to Chicago because it indicated that the city would finally be able to shake off the perception that it was a hog-slaughtering, greedy and isolated city. The Fair would create a more positive global reputation for Chicago. Larson argues that it was Chicago’s pride that led its people to dream big enough to win the bid for the World’s Fair. They were motivated to outdo the Paris World’s Fair of 1889, that produced the…

    Salem Possessed redefined the standard for the possibilities social history offers to understand the events and people of early America. Through a painstaking look at local records such as legal records, the Salem Village record book, the minister's book, and tax records Boyer and Nissenbaum discovered a long-standing pattern of contentious behavior of which the witchcraft accusations in 1692 was just one episode.

    Analysis of "The House"

    “The House” by Kim Krupp Pepe is a selection about a girl and her memories of her old house as a child. The main idea is that she is grown up and will never experience the same memories as she once had, but she also cherishes her memories of the house that she once lived in as a child. For example, in the last paragraph, she states that “Now I’m always kind of torn between being sad because I feel like a child and yet knowing I am not and can never be again. Another part of me feels happy for having a place where all my past is stored and secreted away.”…

    1. “He walked with confidence and dressed well, conjuring an impression of wealth and achievement.” (pg 35). This character, H. H. Holmes, is loaded with pride as he’s practically beaming it out of himself. The way he walks and the way he’s dressed certainly show that he’s confident in how he looks, and takes pride in his wealthy appearance. Holmes is certainly a man of the first class, as he so elegantly shows it.…

    The Devil In The White City Analysis

    Duality exists in all aspects of the world- in the light of the stars against the dark of the night sky or the vibrant spring colors and the desolation come winter. The dual nature of this world has added deep lines between right and wrong, but of course both will present themselves and both will always, in some way, shape, or form, affect one another. In the Devil in the White City the author, Erik Larson, not only informs the audience about a colossal architectural turning point for our nation, but he entices the reader into a state of jittery tension that is enforced by continuous amounts of alarming duality.…

    The Yellow Wallpaper Setting Essay

    This description of the house reflects the way the narrator feels while she is there. The placement of house far back from the road mirrors the isolation she feels being confined to that house all summer. The house’s separation from the road and the town echoes the narrator’s separation from society as she is kept alone in the house. This imagery and setting also reflects the way women, especially those with mental health issues, were treated at this time; they were kept separate from humanity and were told that their isolation would help them recover, when in actuality, it was the opposite of what they needed to get…

    Theme Of Isolation In The Yellow Wallpaper

    It is evident that the narrator is frequently alone with her thoughts. Her husband, John, “is away all day, and even some nights” (42), and Jennie, who takes care of her, leaves her to be alone and does the housework. This isolation caused her mental health to deteriorate. A dangerous effect of the complete isolation the narrator experienced is obsession. The narrator was told to do nothing, except sleep. She could not even talk to anyone about how she felt. One of the only things that could not be taken away from her was the wallpaper of the room. As a result, she paid close attention to it. The narrator would “lay there for hours” (143) watching the pattern of the wallpaper; she would attempt to decipher it. According to her, the wallpaper would stare her “as if it knew what a vicious influence it had” (66). It wasn’t…

    The Devil And Miss Prym Analysis

    In the novel “The Devil and Miss Prym,” it is stated that “Good and Evil have the same face; it all depends on when they cross the path of each individual human being.” This is true to some extent, but not in the way the author intends it. I maintain, from my experiences in the real world and from the book, that the concepts of good and evil do not necessarily have the same face, but good and evil people will certainly look the same as any other person. When evil crosses the path of the truly righteous, they will be proven righteous, and the same is true for the evil.…

    Diabolik Lovers, More Blood, what is there to say about it.I guess a good place to start is the beginning. Diabolic Lovers spelled with a "K" for some reason, was about something called a sacrificial bride as you all might of been already aware. Now this season is about Christian symbolism with Eve and Adam for ones unaware of the story of Eve and Adam you will be very confused since everything about the story completely relies on you being a Christian.If you aren't well....f*** I guess you'll forever be completely lost in the great abyss since you are never told what the story was. Anyway, let's start talking about the consistent references to Adam and Eve, or maybe I should just start with the story. You know what let me explain the…
