In the poem, “The Chimney Sweeper” by William Blake, the author attempts to educate the reader about the horrors experienced by young children who are forced into labor at an early age cleaning chimneys for the wealthy. The poem begins with a young boy who has lost his mother but has no time to properly grieve because his father has sold him into a life of filth and despair. The child weeps not only for the loss of his mother and his father’s betrayal, but also for the loss of his childhood and

Shakespeare is known to not give his readers direct answers in his writing. He leaves major questions unanswered, so that the reader has something to ponder over. But, he is known for leaving clues and literary devices to help people better interpret his writing and make their own conclusion about his plays. One of the literary devices that Shakespeare use to help in our interpretation are motifs. Motifs black and hell are very important, and help in our interpretation of Act One in Shakespeare’s
A stronger sooty scent fills John’s nose. His eyes mirror the flaming cross outside the bus. Crazily spitting on the glass, the white figures start to shake the bus. Their pitch forks scrape against the bus, creating a sharp screech. Beginning to break, the protesters cry. But John remains resolute. Creating a trail of gasoline, the furious mob circle the bus. More black smoke enters the bus, causing John to cough. “Stay low!” John commands. He can taste the sooty smoke. In panic, the protesters
Othello’s race and ethnicity are never explicitly revealed in Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Othello, so they have become the topic of great speculation. Othello’s race and ethnicity are still heavily debated amongst Shakespeareans today; although it may appear obvious to some controversy arises when it comes to defining the term Moor which is used to describe Othello’s ethnicity. Some believe that Othello’s race is simply black, or African, as described in the play, others believe he may have been
The Colors of Othello In Shakespeare's Othello, color imagery consistently appears throughout the text. The colors, specifically black, white, and red, create symbolic and metaphoric meanings which contribute to larger themes such as racial prejudice, good versus evil, sexuality, and murder. The colors evoke images in the characters' minds, particularly Othello's. These images, along with their corresponding idea or theme, influence the actions of the characters, culminating in the murder of
Although some try to avoid it, most people’s opinions of others are sadly regarded based on race. These ethnic groups cause people to think of others as superior or inferior to them, sometimes becoming so extreme that people start to doubt themselves. These ideas are incorporated in Shakespeare’s play, Othello, a tragedy about a black war general named Othello, who is often referred to by many racial names, such as “the Moor.” He has recently married a young woman named Desdemona, a character completely
Told by a charming priest and kindly man, The Nun’s Priest’s Tale is a beast fable in Chaucer’s genius framed narrative, The Canterbury Tales. Written in the late 14th century, The Nun’s Priest’s Tale is a fable about an all too egotistic rooster named Chanticleer who dreams of his impending doom which takes the form of a beast. Deeply troubled, he seeks the consolation of other wise barn animals and his favorite wife, Pertelote. Being a beast fable, the Nun’s Priest mocks the Court World by lowering
In Othello, many would think that Othello or even Iago, were the one to blame for Desdemona's death. After all, Othello is the one who directly killed Desdemona, and Iago tricked Othello into doing it. However, Desdemona is also at fault too for her own death. She could have made the right choices to avoid this seemingly inescapable fate. Desdemona is naive in her love and beliefs and is part of her cause of death because of her love for Othello, affection for Cassio, and persistence for Othello’s
towards Cinderella because even after she had picked up the lentils the step-mother had thrown, she still made up excuses to keep Cinderella at home and isolated. Although there were two step-daughters, “Cinderella was their maid./She slept on the sooty hearth each night/ and walked around looking like Al Jolson(li.30-32). This line refers to how Cinderella walked around the house with dirt and sludge on her all day and slept on the fireplace each night while the two step-sisters walked around the

black race. David Bevington in William Shakespeare: Four Tragedies describes how racism is obvious from the very outset of the play: Othello is unquestionably a black man, referred to disparagingly by his detractors as the “thick-lips,” with a “sooty bosom” (1.1.68; 1.2.71); Elizabethan usage ap... ... middle of paper ... ...rsity. 1996. http://www.eiu.edu/~multilit/studyabroad/othello/othello_all.html No line nos.

not slaves, but they’re also not peasants. They’re something in-between. A stage between slavery and freedom. According to Lords and Ladies, they lived in windowless, one-room houses with a dirt floor and hay for beds. The houses were dark, drafty, sooty, and they had leaky roofs, due to the fact that they were poorly built. Medieval Living stated that serfs woke at first light to start their work. The serfs didn’t return from the fields until sundown, after ten or twelve hours of hard physical
Thomas Hardy's The Son's Veto, Graham Greene's The Basement Room and alan Sillitoe's Uncle Ernest In each of the three stories, 'The Son's Veto' by Thomas Hardy, 'The Basement Room' by Graham Green and 'Uncle Ernest' by Alan Silitoe, the respective writer conveys a sense of isolation regarding the central character. There are numerous similarities between the characters based on their common plight, but each story differs in the portrayal of these characters. The writer's effectively present
In this quote, Hamlet references Vulcans foul stithy which is essentially a smithy or place of stiths (anvils) where Vulcan created all his weapons for the gods.Hamlet is making a comparison -- to be as foul as Vulcan's stithy is to be as dirty and sooty as the mother of all blacksmith's workshop. This set the tone for Hamlet's mind for the rest of the play. Hamlets parallel this to foreshadow tragic events. Shakespeare's allusions amplify one's appreciation for the complexity of the
daughter of a Venetian senator, as a “white ewe” (I.i.87-88). Tragically, Othello suffers further because of the partiality of his father-in-law, Brabantio. Disturbed at the thought that his daughter was in in love with Othello, Brabantio blames this “sooty” Moore for enchanting Desdemona into loving him, implying that a young woman like her would never willingly run off with a black man, like Othello, because of his race (I.ii.65-70). Brabantio
The process of society moving toward civilization affects the relationship between the society and individual. As the society and individual developing over time, these two processes seem to be further away from each other, yet the development of society restricts individual’s. This is a very controversial topic and being discussed in many literature works such as the poem,“Sunflower Sutra,” by Allen Ginsberg and the book, “Civilization and Its Discontent,” by Sigmund Freud. Both Ginsberg and Freud

"The May Sunshine had made him feel dirty and etiolated, a creature indoors- the sooty dust of London in the pores of his skin" (Orwell, 125). Sensory appeal is a tactic often used by the author to evoke a particular image or emotion within the readers mind. Orwell's use of sensory appeal in Nineteen Eighty Four is an integral concept to understanding the contradiction in a seemingly utopian society. This is emphasized through references to the following senses: touch and smell. Touch is illustrated
