The document discusses the theme of uncertainty in Joseph Conrad's novella Heart of Darkness. It summarizes that uncertainty is embedded throughout in the narrative structure, ambiguous descriptions of the environment and characters, and recurring images of darkness. The structure being a story within a story makes it unreliable. The jungle is depicted as mysterious and foggy. Characters like Kurtz are enigmatic figures with both noble and destructive impulses. Darkness represents the blurring of lines between good and evil. The entire journey is filled with a sense of unknown danger and lack of surety.

imperialism in Heart of darkness
The document discusses themes of imperialism in Joseph Conrad's novella Heart of Darkness. It explores how the novella depicts Europeans asserting their racial superiority and civilizing mission as justification for colonizing Africa. However, Marlow comes to realize that imperialism in the Congo involved brutal exploitation and abuse of power over native people. Ivory is presented as a symbol of the Europeans' greedy commercial motivations for imperialism. While the idea of uplifting natives was used to justify colonization, many Europeans instead treated natives as less than human and failed to civilize them.
Theory of imitation
Plato introduces the theory of imitation, which argues that art and literature are imitations of nature rather than reflections of truth or reality. According to Plato's theory, a painter's depiction of a chair is twice removed from the truth since it is an imitation of the carpenter's physical chair, which itself is an imitation of the ideal "chair" form. Plato believed that literature could misguide society and corrupt youth, and thus wanted to ban poets from his republic. However, the conclusion is that while Plato makes a valid point about imitation, poetry is not inherently harmful.
Leaves of grace
The document analyzes Walt Whitman's poem "Leaves of Grass." It discusses how Whitman views his poems as "songs" meant to be heard in order to understand him as an individual. It also explains that Whitman uses his naked self in nature as a symbol to represent his fusion with the world. Finally, it analyzes how Whitman uses catalogs in "Song of Myself" to represent the collective democratic self composed of many different people and professions.
Human psyche in heart of darkness
This novel explores the dark journeys of the mind, heart, and Africa during the period of imperialism in the 19th century. It focuses on the protagonist Marlow's physical and psychological journey navigating the concepts of situational ethics versus absolute notions of right and wrong. The book examines the racist beliefs and exploitation of Africans by European imperialists, as seen through characters like Kurtz, who represents the imperialists pursuing wealth and power through the oppression of others. It questions human motives and the existence of both good and evil within individuals and society.
The theory of Impersonality by T.S. Eliot
This document discusses T.S. Eliot's theory of impersonality in poetry. It provides context around Eliot's views as expressed in some of his early essays. While Eliot advocated for impersonality and focusing on the poetry rather than the poet, the document notes that critics have argued Eliot often smuggled his own personality back into his works. It also examines Eliot's use of first-person pronouns in some of his poems like "The Waste Land" and "Ash Wednesday" to show how exploring impersonality through pronouns is not entirely reliable given Eliot's use of persona.
Aristotle Poetics concepts of Tragedy and Plot
Aristotle analyzed Greek tragedies and developed a theory about the ideal form of tragedy. He believed tragedy should involve a serious action that evokes pity and fear in the audience. The main character, or tragic hero, should be generally good but make a significant error that leads to their downfall. This allows the audience to feel pity for the character. Well-written tragedies also have unity of plot, a reversal of fortune for the main character, and use language and drama to purge the emotions of pity and fear in the audience. Aristotle's analysis set standards for plot, character, and language that influenced playwrights for centuries.

Heart of Darkness examples of Racism and Imperialism
This document summarizes 5 examples of racism and imperialism from the novel "Heart of Darkness" in 3-sentence passages. The examples describe the native people in inhuman and inferior terms, such as comparing them to animals or saying their language sounds non-human. One passage discusses how Europeans saw themselves as supernatural beings to the natives. The last summary states that while the ideas behind imperialism may sound appealing, the actual practice of conquering other lands involves taking them from people with different skin or noses.

Absurdism
Absurdism is a philosophy that views the universe as illogical and senseless. It arises from the conflict between the human desire to find meaning in life and the inability to do so. The Theater of the Absurd emerged in the 1950s from playwrights in response to the atrocities of WWII and decline of religion. These plays focus on the meaninglessness of life, use nonsensical language and repetition, and lack logical cause and effect.

Joseph andrews

It explains that Fielding viewed the reader as an active participant in constructing the meaning of the novel, rather than a passive receiver. He used techniques like contrast, ambiguity, and direct addresses to the reader to encourage participation and independent thinking.

Aristotle's concept of Tragic hero
The document summarizes Aristotle's views on tragic heroes and the elements of tragedy. According to Aristotle, the ideal tragic hero is of high birth and essentially good, but makes an error in judgment that leads to their downfall, arousing pity and fear in the audience.

Aristotle's views provided guidelines for later playwrights, though some elements like the hero's morality have been challenged.

Samuel taylor coleridge
Samuel Taylor Coleridge was an English poet, critic, and philosopher who was a leader of Romantic poetry. He divided imagination into primary and secondary forms. Primary imagination is a creative faculty possessed by all, while secondary imagination is the conscious, creative power of poets. Coleridge believed the purpose of poetry was to give pleasure, and defined a poem as having organic unity and seeking to produce immediate pleasure in readers through the willing suspension of disbelief. He saw imagination as the key distinguishing factor of a true poet.
Dream on Monkey Mountain Analysis
On a Caribbean island, the morning after a full moon, Makak tears through the market in a drunken rage. Taken away to sober up in jail, all that night he is gripped by hallucinations: the impoverished hermit believes he has become a healer, walking from village to village, tending to the sick, waiting for a sign from God. In this dream, his one companion, Moustique, wants to exploit his power. Moustique decides to impersonate a prophet himself, ignoring a coffin-maker who warns him he will die and enraging the people of the island. Makak, half-awake in his desolate jail cell, terrorized by the specter of his friend's corruption, clings to his visionary quest. He will try to transform himself; to heal Moustique, his jailer, and his jail-mates; and to be a leader for his people.

Is God present in the play? If so where? If not, what does God's absence sugg...
This document is a student paper analyzing the presence of God in the Christopher Marlowe play "Doctor Faustus". The student argues that God is present in several ways within the play: as the Good Angel who urges Faustus to repent; as the Latin phrase "Homo, fuge" seen by Faustus; as an old man at the end who also urges repentance; and through the chorus, which represents the soul of God. The student examines each of these examples and concludes that through these symbols and voices, the play demonstrates the religious values and terrible fate that awaits one who rejects God during the Renaissance period.

Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe

Crowning Ceremony
OKONKWO’S DESIRE TO BE RESPECTED COMES FROM CULTURE ALSO
The desire comes from his standing among his people will positively transformed. Unlike his father with no titles.
“who had risen so suddenly from great poverty and misfortune to be one of the lords of the clan. The old man bore no ill-will towards Okonkwo. INDEED HE RESPECTED HIM FOR HIS INDUSTRY AND SUCCESS” (Achebe 19).
MORE SHEEPS
MORE TITLES
MORE SHEEP/ANIMALS + MORE TITLES + MORE MONEY = MORE RESPECT, MORE WIVES
Being strong meant being a warrior, a defender, a protector and a leader – Ibo people respected warriors.
He desires to be somebody instead of being nobody like this father.
OKONKWO AND UNOKA (HIS FATHER ARGUING)
Being Wealthy
Warrior awards
The more the animals the more the respect
The important question of what affects him more?
His feelings about his father affects him more
Feelings about his father changed his life
Father’s GUILT ‘of being nobody’ made him struggle
The guilt of suicide committed by his father
WHAT AFFECTS HIM MORE?
“whenever he was angry and could not get his words out quickly enough, he would use his fists. He had NO PATIENCE WITH UNSUCCESSFUL MEN. He had had no patience with his father” (Achebe 3).
At least at the end (BEING A WARRIOR) he realizes its TIME TO SACRIFICE his own self. Even though, he knew it is the most difficult part in his life. Okonkwo was all the time running away from this embarrassment of dying like this father. And now being like his father meant his salvation for himself and his people.
