#6 frankenstein isolaton doppelganger

shared by Connor P on 16 Feb 12 - No Cached
  • Victor and the creature are “doubles” (or mirrors) of each other because they are both struck with the inability to successfully communicate with society. This theme demonstrates the balance of the conscious and unconscious aspects of human behavior.
  • Connor P on 16 Feb 12
     
    This source shows the doppelganger between the monster and Victor as they are doubles of each other. One of their connections is the fact that both are isolated and cannot communicate with society. This leads to the theme of isolation.

#7 frankenstein isolaton responsibility

shared by Connor P on 16 Feb 12 - No Cached
  • The society in which Frankenstein and Walton alike opt for the isolation of individual pursuits over the socializing impulses of human interaction proves to be the real agent in redefining the parameters of creative activity.
  • Acts are replaced by words, activity by passivity, responsibility by the irresponsibly ambivalent, and individuality by abstraction. The person is dissolved.
  • Connor P on 16 Feb 12
     
    This source shows how related the character of Victor and Walton in the themes of isolation. It also taks about their irresponsibilty and the chaos of their lives. Thus their structures are paralle

#4 frankenstein isolaton true monster

shared by Connor P on 16 Feb 12 - No Cached
  • The bounds that Frankenstein transgresses are those of obedience to community. He makes himself a monster in two senses. The price is death not only for himself but for his family and potentially all humanity.
  • Connor P on 16 Feb 12
     
    This source shows that irony that Shelley creates in which no one truly knows who the monster is. Through the behavior of Victor, he leads the reader to question wether or not he is the monster. This also shows the isolation of his life.

#5 in cold blood isolaton friendship

shared by Connor P on 22 Mar 12 - No Cached
  • Hickock is extroverted, resourceful, and “manly.” “Dick’s literalness,” the reader is told, “his pragmatic approach to every subject,
  • was the primary reason Perry had been attracted to him, for it made Dick seem, compared to himself, so authentically tough, invulnerable, ‘totally masculine.’”
  • Connor P on 22 Mar 12
     
    This shows the fact that Dick is using Perry and he does not truly care about him. Thus he is neglected in his mid adult life which leads to his murder sprees

#6 in cold blood isolaton

shared by Connor P on 22 Mar 12 - No Cached
  • Capote became especially close to Smith, whose lonely childhood, physical self-consciousness, and artistic aspirations resonated with the writer.
  • Connor P on 22 Mar 12
     
    This shows that Capote was able to interact and understand the truth of Perrys isolation and irrationality. He shows this in his writing through proof of his bad parents and neglectful childhood

#7 as i lay dying isolaton cash symbolism

shared by Connor P on 01 Mar 12 - No Cached
  • The scattering and arduous retrieval of Cash's tools from the river, like Cash's broken leg, signals the deskilling and isolation that the family will suffer as they leave the countryside.
  • Connor P on 01 Mar 12
     
    Again the individual isolation is seen at one of the two "climaxes" of the novel. Cash shows it here through the destruction of his tools, it shows the family chemistry cannot be fixed

#5 as i lay dying isolaton selfishness

shared by Connor P on 01 Mar 12 - No Cached
  • The burial march to Jefferson tests this family's mettle, repeatedly forcing them to place the common good above their individual concerns. Darl's incarceration, as we have seen, is an instance of the Bundren family's protecting itself by means of sacrificing one of its own individual members
  • Connor P on 01 Mar 12
     
    This refers to the selfish motives of the characters that isolate them on the journey to Jefferson. Because everyone is focused on their goals, no one seems to care about Addie and her burial

#4 as i lay dying isolaton structure

shared by Connor P on 01 Mar 12 - No Cached
  • against the chapters as discrete units and against the isolation of individual consciousnesses that the chapter breaks reflect--in order to illuminate larger coherences born of the characters' multiple voices, but utterly inassimilable to them and unavailable to the characters themselves.
  • Connor P on 01 Mar 12
     
    This source is interesting as it comments that Faulkner uses the choppy breaking up of narrators to show the isolation of the family. as no member has consequtive chapters nor are the chapters intertwining view points

#6 as i lay dying isolaton cash darl

shared by Connor P on 01 Mar 12 - No Cached
  • With Cash, Darl believes that he shares a close affinity, as though he and Cash truly were one person. Addie's narration partially explains this curious affiliation, for she has lumped the boys together and disowned them both:
  • Connor P on 01 Mar 12
     
    This here shows the specfic isolation of Cash and Darl. Addie disowns them as she lumps them into the pre-Jewel children, and this isolation has different effects on both boys

#1 as i lay dying isolaton alienation

shared by Connor P on 01 Mar 12 - No Cached
  • As a result of their communication problems, members of the Bundren family live alienated from each other—whether willfully (like Addie or Jewel), unknowingly (like Anse, Cash, Dewey Dell, or Vardaman), or painfully (like Darl).
  • This alienation extends to neighbors, who misinterpret or simply cannot fathom the family's actions.
  • Connor P on 01 Mar 12
     
    This shows the isolation and alienation in the characters live. As isolation spawns alienation, this main theme reflects the families ability to communicate together and interact

#2 as i lay dying isolaton gothic elements

shared by Connor P on 01 Mar 12 - No Cached
  • he uses Gothic imagery and atmosphere in particular to highlight this idea. Gothicism is also used in Faulkner's work to emphasize
  • distorted religious views, the clash between those with power and those without, the isolation of the individual, humans' powerlessness in an indifferent universe, the moral decay of the community, the burden of history, the horrors of humans' treatment of each other, and the problem of evil.
  • Connor P on 01 Mar 12
     
    This shows how Faulkner uses his Gothic elements to highlight his specific themes such as isolation. this is the main theme in As I Lay Dying, as it leads the the struggles in the family and their destruction

#3 as i lay dying isolaton selfishness family disunity

shared by Connor P on 01 Mar 12 - No Cached
  • A strong irony is at work in most of the monologues in the novel, revealing Anse and his children with their individual dreams and preoccupations, some of them utterly selfish,
  • A whole range of emotions colors the monologues and hence the novel as a whole, from anger and hatred and fear to loyalty and reverence.
  • Connor P on 01 Mar 12
     
    This is the theme of selfishness and hostility within the family. Both of these Gothic elements imployed by Faulker lead to the ultimate theme of isolation
