Frankenstein created the monster his life plunges into absolute darkness. The monster on the other hand comes into the world with the desire to seek companionship and to connect with people. One of my favorite chapters was when the monster observes the family in the distance. I wouldn´t say that he was stalking them, but he was rather trying to learn their language by listening to them and reading their books. This part of the book has its basis in the age of enlightenment. The idea that there is goodness
part of the poem portrays the complete destruction of the world, the victory of Darkness and the ending of everything and goes from “And War, which for a moment was no more” (line 38 of “Darkness”) until the end of the poem. By using this structure, Byron pretended to create a sensation of time passing away, from slow to fast. The poem starts slowly, explaining the destruction of the universe “The brught sun was estinguish'd, and the stars/Did wander darkling in the eternal space” (lines 2 and 3 of

Lord Byron once said, “The great object of life is sensation—to feel that we exist, even in pain.” Of all his philosophies and quotes, this particular one seems to represent Lord Byron himself, and his outlook on life. From incest to sodomy, gambling and government, he definitely “lived a life of sensation,” even if the much of the sensations were loss, guilt, and pain. His convoluted and eventful personal life notwithstanding, Lord Byron is known for composing beautiful, deep, mournful, and often
In a book called The Life, Letters and Journals of Lord Byron, written by Thomas Moore, there is an account of Byron’s death which states the following: “It was about six o’clock in the evening of this day when he said, ‘Now I shall go to sleep’; and then turning round fell into that slumber from which he never awoke. For the next twenty-four hours he lay incapable of either sense or motion – with the exception of, now and then, slight symptoms of suffocation, during which his servant raised his

Lord Byron lived as a walking contradiction; both a notable Romantic poet and a man disillusioned from love, he spent his life forming relationships one after another. His eccentricities only grew his fame during his lifetime. He held romance in the highest regard while also deploring the false hopes it brings. Lord Byron’s poetry reflects his constant vacillation between belief in love’s perfect unattainability and its cynical reality. These feelings stem from both his early life and his later love
„I know that, to the common apprehension, this phenomenon of whiteness is not confessed to be the prime agent in exaggerating the terror of objects otherwise terrible; nor to the unimaginative mind is there aught of terror in those appearances whose awfulness to another mind almost solely consists in this one phenomenon, especially when exhibited under any form at all approaching to muteness or universality.” ( Herman Melville, 184) The Whiteness of the Whale represents a chapter which brings

Emotional desolation is a nearly poetical term which encom-passes various different aspects, therefore it cannot be clearly defined. I has focused on the collapse of interpersonal relationships and analysed it on the grounds of both, parental rela-tions and those between a man and a woman. Another significant aspect of desolate human-ity is impaired sexuality which prevent
The immense natural power of water is in constant focus within Synge’s and O’Flaherty’s stories. The wonders and dangers of them are unavoidable; on one hand, you have men of the Aran Islands forced to brave the sea for the survival of their families. On the other, you have this magical lake that people believe to be bestowed with dark and divine power. Ironically, both tales contain contrasting themes that parallel at specific moments, emphasizing on the thematic nature of the subject matter

It can be interpreted to showcase the restrictions and struggles that African American people have to face when it comes to growing and being valued as an important members of society and life because of their skin color.

characters who have more psychological depth, allowing the reader to empathise with each of them (Teuber).

Unanswered Questions of Mary Shelley Just imagine living back during the french revolution, having to suffer, while struggling to live the life of a normal human being.

Among all the literary works read so far, I found several of Lord Byron’s poems to be very moving and thought-provoking. I believe that the best poems that offered relevant knowledge for me to apply are Byron’s “Stanzas to Augustus”,” Stanzas for Music (“They Say That Hope is Happiness”)”, and “So We’ll Go No More a Roving” as they all provoked a strong response from me. As a maturing young adult, I’m at a critical phase where I need to define my identity in the world and through these poems I have
