The Cold Birds The imagery of the short story “The Birds,” by Daphne du Maurier, illustrates that these birds are trying to get inside of Nat’s house for the purpose of terrorizing them. “Various incidents were recounted, the suspected reason of cold and hunger started again, and warnings to the householders repeated” (61). This quote shows that the birds are somehow trying to give Nat and his family warnings by tapping on his windows before the attacks and after the repeated attacks. “The tapping went on and on and a new rasping note struck Nat’s ear as though a sharper beak than any hitherto had come back to take over from its fellows” (75). This quote shows that the birds are constantly giving Nat and his family warnings and the birds

The dreadful origins of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde is a novella written by Robert Louis Stevenson published in 1886. In the 1880s, one of the leading forms of literature in Britain was called the “Penny Dreadful”.

As a result of the popularity of penny dreadfuls at the time, it is no surprise that Stevenson’s novella was heavily influenced by this form of literature. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde’s vivid descriptions of London life.
In the story “The Birds” by Daphne du Maurier the birds, Nat, the airplanes, among other things in this story represent so many things happening during this time. During this time there was a lot of tension between the United States and the Soviet Union as a result of World War II. Several events occurred much like in the story where there seems to be uncertainty of what was about to come. Ultimately, I believe Daphne du Maurier's "The Birds" can best be analyzed from the perspective of The Cold War because of the meaning that the birds tie back to the war in that time.

“Words - so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them.” Nathaniel Hawthorne was one of the most important members of American Literature in the early to mid nineteenth century. Many of Hawthorne's works revolved around themes of sin, guilt, perseverance, and forgiveness. These values are rooted in Hawthorne's family, as his ancestors are puritans who played an important part in the Salem witch trials. Hawthorne's use of puritan values helped to develop the characters in his works in intricate ways.
In her essay “The Death of the Moth,” Virginia Woolf illustrates the abrupt life of a moth matching with the appropriate complexion of life and death. She starts the essay out by showing how deplorable life is and ends the essay saying how powerful life is. With this being said, it leaves the reader in confusion, thinking if they should take the path of throwing life away or keeping life safe to their hearts. In this composition, Woolf invests the moth in a role that represents her life. She simply builds a comparison between life as a whole and the life of a moth.

The title of a piece of literature can be an incredible insight to the significance of the story it accompanies. Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? portrays its important title throughout the entire story and reflects on its significance in the context of the plot.

In the three texts we see further similarities as the women emasculate their husbands. In Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Martha insults George personally, honing in on his work and its connection to his personal life. A particular moment which shows this is when Martha refers to him as a “FLOP” and George who is described as almost crying says “I said stop, Martha.” At this point of the play it is evident that Martha is shown as a domineering figure in their relationship.
