It discusses how literature can reflect society, analyzing how "To His Coy Mistress" addresses a shy beloved while avoiding something deeper.

A Rose For Emily
This document provides a structural analysis of the short story "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner. It summarizes that the story is told in five parts and uses strong contrasts between dark and light, powerful and pitiful characters.

✭✢Coming of age in a culture that demands women be as small, quiet, and compliant as possible--like a porcelain dove that will also have sex with you--writer and humorist Lindy West quickly discovered that she was anything but. From a painfully shy childhood in which she tried, unsuccessfully, to hide her big body and even bigger opinions; to her public war with stand-up comedians over rape jokes; to her struggle to convince herself, and then the world, that fat people have value; to her accidental activism and never-ending battle royale with Internet trolls, Lindy narrates her life with a blend of humor and pathos that manages to make a trip to the abortion clinic funny and wring tears out of a story about diarrhea.With inimitable good humor, vulnerability, and boundless charm, Lindy boldly shares how to survive in a world where not all stories are created equal and not all bodies are treated with equal respect, and how to weather hatred, loneliness, harassment, and loss--and walk .

It discusses how the poem ignores key historical facts of Marvell's time, like the plague that killed thousands in London.

Hamlet and His Problems (graded)
In his essay “Hamlet and His Problems,” T. S. Eliot declared the play an artistic failure, radically dismissing one of Shakespeare’s greatest plays. Eliot coins the term
objective correlative
in this essay and asserts that Hamlet lacks a strong objective correlative to cohere the play’s actions.
Sigmund Freud, interestingly, views Hamlet’s fixation on Gertrude, his mother, as the axis on which the play turns. It doesn’t take years of Freudian analysis to determine that Hamlet has a fixation on his mother, nor that his uncle’s fratricide and subsequent marriage to his dead brother’s wife is incestuous even by modern terms. Yet, the Old Testament gives the injunction for a man to take up with his dead brother’s wife.
Let's begin this discussion with an evaluation of Hamlet’s relationship to his mother. Does he have an untoward interest in her affairs?

Hamlet
is, ultimately, a revenge tragedy. In a revenge tragedy, the convention is to have all the major characters (and many of the minor ones) dead on stage by the end. The Elizabethans even used animal organs, guts, and blood to make the action realistic. Does the ambition of revenge motifs have any relevance for modern society and the art that reflects our own culture?
Let's also consider Ophelia and Gertrude as the only female characters in this play. What is Shakespeare telling his audience about women through these characters? How might Queen Elizabeth have reacted to Shakespeare’s view of women? Did Queen Elizabeth perceive herself to be a woman, or was she, as a monarch, "without gender"?

Does the ambition of revenge motifs have any relevance for modern society and the art that reflects our own culture?
Let's also consider Ophelia and Gertrude as the only female characters in this play. What is Shakespeare telling his audience about women through these characters? How might Queen Elizabeth have reacted to Shakespeare’s view of women? Did Queen Elizabeth perceive herself to be a woman, or was she, as a monarch, "without gender"?

Othelo and contempoary issues.docx
The document discusses how Shakespeare's play Othello remains relevant to contemporary society by exploring themes of racism, gender inequality, and sexuality. During Elizabethan times, Othello faced racial prejudice as a black man married to a white woman. Today, issues of race are still prominent in matters of representation, opportunity, and interracial relationships. Gender roles and the unequal treatment of men and women depicted in Othello also reflect societal issues still present today. Additionally, the play examines homosexuality, which was a taboo topic during Shakespeare's time but remains a subject of debate in modern societies. Overall, the document argues Othello transcends its historical context by illuminating social problems still prevalent in contemporary times.
The Waste Land and Sexual politics
This document discusses T.S. Eliot's treatment of women and their bodies in his poem "The Waste Land". It argues that Eliot is able to represent the female experience of trauma and marginalization to some degree through his own experiences. Sections of the poem like "A Game of Chess" and "The Fire Sermon" depict scenes of rape that serve to critique patriarchal capitalism and commodification of women's bodies. The document examines how rape functions as a disease of capitalism and how Eliot may have advocated for a new belief system through his poetry to transform society and the treatment of women.

The wasteland compare with lust stories

- 3. INTRODUCTION According to Eliot, sex is an important aspect of life. It is an expression of love and a means of procreation. But in modern society, sex has been perverted from its proper function and is utilized for animal pleasure and monetary benefits. Easy sexual relation could be found among all sections of the society. Eliot cites the instances of guilty love in the first section of the poem with reference to Waqner’s opera Tristan and Isolde. Then he goes to another guilty love of the hyacinth girl.
- 4. In the section of Game of Chess we are introduced to sexual violation in high-class society where a lustful duke seduced a young married-woman. Sex also prevails among the lower class of society. Eliot mentions the story of Lil and the experience of three daughters of Thames. Another example is that of mechanical sex relation between the typist girl and her boy friend. A homosexual relation is exemplified by Mr. Eugenides. Eliot sums up the story of European lust through the words of St. Augustine. To carthage then I came Burning burning burning burning (Lines 307-308: The Waste Land) Eliot means that the whole of Europe is being destroyed by the fire of sexuality
- 5. Guilty Love Sex occupies a very prominent place in human life. At one time sex was considered as a means of human development. Unfortunately in modern time, sex has become an animal urge without any moral or social commitment. Eliot gives two examples of guilty love or the pain of satisfied love. The poet refers to the story of Tristan who had a guilty passion for Isolde in Waqner’s opera Tristan and Isolde.
