The Garden of Gatsby Flower imagery is a popular trend in literature. The symbolism and imagery of flowers are greatly important to the themes and characters of The Great Gatsby.

"Come on now, Berwyn", the nurse says with the plate of food. "No...I'm not hungry", Berwyn mumbles as he turns down the food. "Come on Berwyn, you always use to eat your food, what do I have to do to make you eat?", the nurse says, looking at Berwyn concerned. Berwyn tears up. "I want friends back", he whispers. The nurse smiles. "But you have friends", she answers. "No, friends I did had...Mick and Carlson. Why did they leave?", Berwyn asks. The nurse looked at Berwyn and hugged him. "I'm…

“My next choice is my guard, Aber Tawy’s First Knight, Sir Maxen.” He moved to the front of the crowd and caught the fabric in his hand once it reached his hand. He and Audra acknowledged one another with a nod, but nothing more. “As for my third selection, I choose John as a my champion.” Several men glanced at one another, since John was such a popular name, so Audra clarified by pointing, and young John, pride shining in his light eyes, stepped forward and bowed. “I shall win for you today,…

Lady Macbeth “[Frances Dolan] observes “Macbeth uses female characters--the witches and Lady Macbeth--to instill ambition, translate that ambition into violent action, and thus cast doubt on ambition and agency as associated with violence”. Leah Marcus suggests that “Lady Macbeth is a ‘woman on top’ whose sexual ambivalence and dominance are allied with the demonic and mirror the obscure gender identifications of the bearded witches (1988, 104)” (“Fantasizing Infanticide”). Despite Macbeth…

Lady Macbeth subjects Macbeth to a whirlwind of manipulation, sparking within him the temptation and desire to commit a crime that he previously lacks the courage to go through with. “Art thou afeard to be the same in thine own act and valor as thou art in desire? Wouldst thou have that which thou esteem’st the ornament of life, and live a coward in thine own esteem, letting ‘I dare not’ wait upon ‘I would,’ like the poor cat i’ th’ adage?...When you durst do it, then you were a man; and to be…

The initial conclusion one can draw from the critique of modern culture by both Kafka and Eliot in their portrayals of modern man is that it is them placed in these settings and their literature is simply an outlet for said critique. The modernist sentiments expressed in their works were, in part, universally held opinions amongst literary contemporaries of theirs and as such were not only a veritable representation of them coming to grips with the reality of the world around them, but also of…

An Explication of “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock,” by T.S. Elliot, is a poem about a man’s psychological state of mind as he is walking through town on his way to visit a woman to ask her an important question. Instead of focusing on the woman and what he wants to ask her, he focuses on what others think of him and how he is not good enough for her. Prufrock gets himself all worked up about his physical and mental inadequacies and ends up not…

Recurring images of time, romantic disillusionment and memory reveal the inherent tension between the actual and the possible in Eliot’s poetry. The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock dismantles idealistic romanticism and exposes the pessimistic perspective on life, love and time that is central to modernism. At the time of writing, in 1911, Eliot was twenty two years old, and was battling with a lack of lyrical inspiration. For this reason, critics have argued that Prufrock 's romantic hesitations…

No two men are exactly alike, not even identical twins. Some attributes, appearance, and ideology may mirror, but no two men are alike. Differences in how the world is perceived will allow these individual to stand together, but appear far apart. The modernist method of writing allows for individuals to do exactly that, stand together but appear to be far. Writers Ernest Hemingway and T.S. Eliot demonstrated such disassociation in living deliberately in time and place of Nick and J. Alfred…
