Brief History of the Interior MonologueJames Clegg
Â
An imaginary, inaugural sketch of what a brief history of the 'interior monologue' might look like. Here 'interior monologue' is explored as both a mode of representing a character's thoughts and more problematically as a practice 'we' might actually participate in.
The full name of James Joyce (2 February 1882 â 13 January 1941) is James Augustine Aloysius Joyce.
He is an early 20th century Irish novelist and poet.
Joyce is one of the pioneers of âstream of consciousnessâ technique in novel and a new type of poetry called âProse Poemâ.
He is one of the most influential writers in the modernist avant-garde of the early 20th century also.

Gabriel and Michael:
The Conclusion of 'The Dead"1
by Florence L. Walz!
Dubliners as a collection and "The Dead" as a narrative both
culminate in the great epiphany of Gabriel Conroy, the cosmic vision
of a cemetery with snow falling on all the living and the dead.
As an illumination, it follows Gabriel's meeting with the spirit of
Michael Furey and seems to evolve from it. Though commentators
generally agree on the structural design of Dubliners and the plot
pattern of "The Dead," they have not agreed on the interpretation
of this conclusion, or even of the principal symbol, the snow, which
to some represents Ufe, to others death, and to still others life or
death depending on the context of the passage. Such lack of agree
ment at the crux of a work seems surprising. The purpose of this
study is to suggest that the ambiguity of this conclusion was deliberate
on Joyce's part and that it arose from the history and development
of Dubliners as a collection.
The context in which "The Dead" is read affects interpretations
of the story. For the reader who approaches "The Dead" by
way of the preceding fourteen stories of frustration, inaction and
moral paralysis, this story is likely to seem a completion of these
motifs, and Gabriel's epiphany a recognition that he is a dead mem
ber of a dead society. But when "The Dead" is read as a short
story unrelated to Dubliners, the effect is different: the story seems
one of spiritual development and the final vision a redemption.
A survey of the critiques of "The Dead" shows significant dif
ferences in interpretation.2 Explications which discuss the story and
its final vision primarily as the conclusion of the book as a whole,
such as those of Hugh Kenner and Brewster Ghiselin, tend to in
terpret the snow vision as Gabriel's self-identification with the dead.3
However, structural analyses of the story per se, such as those of
Kenneth Burke, David Daiches, Allen T?te, and others, gene ...
The present study focuses on the aspects of modernism found in the novel. The most findable aspects of modernism are individualism, stream of consciousness, exile, and loss of faith. This paper highlights the role of modernism in changing thoughts and ways of living. Moreover, it describes modernism as the opener of new door for the people determined to get rid out of the boundaries of family, religion and country. Individualism is the centre of modernistic novel around which all aspects of it revolve. How modern novels give preference the inner self of an individual to societyâs nets and obstacle? This paper discusses in detail the quest of the protagonist of the novel Dedalus who is in search of new ways to see menâs role in the world.
Henrik Ibsen was born to Knud Ibsen and Marichen
Altenburg, a relatively well-to-do merchant family, in the
small port town of Skien, Norway.
He was a descendant of some of the oldest and most
distinguished families of Norway, including the Paus family.
Shortly after his birth his family's fortunes became very bad.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Â
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
⢠The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
⢠The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate âany matterâ at âany timeâ under House Rule X.
⢠The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Operation âBlue Starâ is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
