  • In simple terms, a child may inherit a particular talent, but the talent is immature; it is mere potential. Parents, teachers, or coaches may recognize the potential and do what they can to support it.

      This article displays the fact that it is the parent's duty to nurture his child's talents in order to enable him to succeed. Unfortunately in the cases in each of the novels, however, the parents irresponsibly neglect their children, instead.

  • As I Lay Dying breaks from this absorption with the isolated hero. It is instead a study of community, simple country folk (the Tulls, Armstids, and Bundrens), that is almost comic, and certainly reflective of some faith in humanity.

  • Responsibility and obligation lie behind the macabre journey, since the dying Addie has asked to be buried with her kin.
  • 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, others not.

  • In his Nobel Prize acceptance speech, Faulkner declared that the fundamental theme of his fiction is "the human heart in conflict with itself." One of the most notable ways in which he depicts this struggle is in his portrayal of the corruption and decay of the South, and he uses Gothic imagery and atmosphere in particular to highlight this idea.

  • 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)

  • odern critics agree that Shelley's depiction of a godless world in which science and technology have gone awry continues to be a powerful metaphor for the modern age. The monster, who is often the focus of criticism, has been interpreted as representing issues ranging from the alienation of modern humanity to the oppression of women.

  • Each version of Frankenstein's monster acts not only as a potent reminder of the dark side of man's creative idealism—the dangers of trying to play God—but also as a powerful representation of the collective fears and desires of the particular era in which it was conceived.

      This article illustrates Shelley's theme of one's place within society. It alludes to the actions of Prometheus, who stepped out of his place, and as a result, was etenally punished. Victor symbolically reprisents this figure due to his eternal guilt for creating his monster.
