Mann's Man Of Straw
[ send me this paper ]
A history book will tell the reader about the rise
of nationalism in the Kaiserreich as a prelude to the rampant
anti-Semitism of the post World War I era. These are just words that
have a two dimensional meaning: time and place. If people, or the
social atmosphere of both individuals and movements, is added, the depth
of understanding increases as the reader incorporates the pieces of
human nature that they see as part of themselves. This 7 page paper
asserts that Heinrich Mann's Man Of Straw utilizes the development of
one character: Diederich Hessling, to reflect the society in which he
lived, enabling the reader insights not available through conventional
histiography. No additional sources are listed.

Use Of Nature As Escape
[ send me this paper ]
The writing of the early part of this century and late nineteenth century was often defined as 'modern' by way of the propensity of the authors of that era to address the underlying psychological motivations for behavior. Unfortunately, this often resulted in a self analysis that was unbearable to the character and the inner conflict ended in cessation of life, lifestyle and, or the person as they had been before self evaluation. This 6 page paper argues that in The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, Ernest Hemingway's The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber, The Awakening by Kate Chopin, Miss LonelyHearts and Day of the Locust by Nathaniel West, The Sound and the Fury by Faulkner and Call It Sleep by Henry Roth, nature plays a pivotal role as symbol and in reality in the examination of the self and is used as an escape from the lives and conflicts of the characters. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
