  • In Frankenstein, however, isolation only leads to despair. Readers get the distinct feeling that Victor's inquisitive nature causes his emotional and physical peril because he cannot balance his intellectual and social interactions.
  • Not surprisingly, Walton's ambition to conquer the unknown moves him, like it does Victor, further away from civilization and closer to feelings of isolation and depression.
  • Connor P on 16 Feb 12
     
    This source shows the isolation that appears throughout the novel in both of the main characters live. It depicts Victor's and Walton's alienaton from society as they both become self absorbed in their own interests. They desert their families and the interactions with societies as they try to aim for their own selfish dreams

  • He had eight children with his wife, Sister Clara Muhammad, but also fathered a number of illegitimate children with his secretaries, a circumstance that was one of the reasons for Malcolm X's final break with the Nation of Islam in 1964.
  • Connor P on 08 Jan 12
     
    This again shows the deception which changes Malcolm X's life forever. He understands that the Nation of Islam is not for him just as IM learns the Brotherhood is not for him. This leads to both of their discoveries about themselves.

shared by Connor P on 08 Jan 12 - No Cached

  • Connor P on 08 Jan 12
     
    This quote shows the betrayal of Elijah Muhamma and the theme of appearance vs. reality. This moment is the second rebirth just as IM has to rebirths. Here he sees that the Nation does not stand for the right beliefs and knows he has to move on

  • The essay suggests that the transplanted blacks residing in Harlem had too often lost touch with the folk traditions that had supported their sense of identity in the South.

  • These imposed ideas prevent him from discovering who he is, and allow others to see him as they want to see him.
  • Without his realizing it, he comes to live within the limitations set by others, forged out of prejudice. After his time living underground, he comes to understand that he will be proud of his racial heritage and make important contributions to society, which will force others to acknowledge him for the man he truly is.
  • Connor P on 05 Jan 12

#1 invisible man blindness

shared by Connor P on 05 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • presenting the ballroom as a chaotic world where nothing can be trusted, and by presenting the boy as fully human and flawed, Ellison makes a happy ending impossible.
  • There is still too much for the boy to overcome, too much for him to learn. He does not yet know the difference between looking and seeing, and he does not understand that in a world of chaos, a piece of paper is no more to be trusted than a gold piece on a carpet. At the end of the story, though, there is some hope.
  • Connor P on 05 Jan 12
     
    This helps show the beginning of the narrator's process of maturity. He does not acknowledge the lack of trust nor the oppression against him. This helps show his blindness and ignorance

    This shows how men dominate women in society which juxtaposes the bosses domination of their low class employees. The author uses words like dominate, tyrannize, choose, or reject to show the power and contol that lies in the hands of the upper classes . Therefore, Woolf and other authors like Sinclair and Steinbeck speak out against the upper class and urge the lower classes to unite and fight.
