    Analysis of "The Painted Door" Short story written by Sinclair Ross

    John decides to invite Steven, so that the latter would keep his wife company while he is gone to help his father before a huge storm hits. Ann however, is dissatisfied with John because she feels that he does not show her enough attention. She is, however, being hypocritical when she says: "It isn't right to leave me here alone. Surely I'm as important as your father."(136/435) John's father is an elderly man who can really use some help before a huge storm. Ann on the other hand is being selfish by demanding John to stay with her. Ann's dissatisfaction further continues when she sarcastically mentions: "Plenty to eat - plenty of wood to keep me warm - what more could a woman ask for?"(136/435) Furthermore, she feels that John, "a slow, unambitious man, content with his farm and cattle, naively proud of Ann"(137/436), is not exciting and she does not agree with his plans for their future. Ann wants to enjoy life while she is still young, while John wants to work as much as possible to rid himself of all debts and to be able to provide his wife with anything that she desires. He worked from sunrise to sunset to "prove his devotion and fidelity"(138/438), but this is not what she wanted and ironically all this hard work and devotion led to Ann cheating on him.…

    Wit Play Analysis

    John Donne is made up of various writing such as strong/sensual style, love poems, religious poems and latin translations, epigrams, elegies, songs, satires, and sermons. John was an author who was very passionate, yet had difficulty expressing and “to prove that glorified bodies in heaven are essentially identical to the bodies possessed on earth” as stated by Professor Ramie Targoff. Donne believes that the union of body and soul is what “makes up the man.” In Targoff’s writing, she is describing John as a very religious human being who aspires to go to heaven and be holy on earth and the afterlife. Ramie explains and describes Donne’s themes for his books, and what he wrote from a different aspect. As stated in the last paragraph of the book review, “Professor Targoff in this book succeeds in her tight and clear focus on a central topic, overt and implied, throughout Donne’s work. Her support for her arguments is generally quite convincing....” However, John’s work mostly consists of the bond between body and soul. He wrote a book taking the title of “Holy Sonnets” which did not consist of his usual writings. The book's content concludes of nineteen poems which were not published until two years after his death, in 1633. “The poems are characterized by innovative rhythm and imagery and constitute a forceful, immediate, personal, and passionate examination of Donne’s love for God, depicting his doubts,…

    Guilt in Robertson Davies' "Fifth Business"

    One feeling that may cause mixed emotions such as anger, hate, or fear, a feeling that can also cripple one's mind, is guilt. Robertson Davies' "Fifth Business" demonstrates how guilt is able to corrupt the young minds of children through the characters of Paul and Dunstan. On the other hand, he also shows how a child will suppress an incident into their unconscious mind if it makes him feel uncomfortable, or guilty through the character of Boy Staunton. The outcome of each case is unpredictable and could possibly result in lives being corrupted or constantly having feelings of guilt on ones conscience.…

    John Donne and W; T Comparative Essay

    Prior to John Donne's Judeo Christian conversion he believed that life was only fulfilling if shared with another individual. He conveyed in his pre-conversion poems and stressed the power and importance of love to a person's well being and existence. Donne contrives the idea that love must not be a "Dull Sublunary lover's love", rather a relationship where "two souls...are one," a love, he explores his conceit, so strong it can stretch "like gold to aery thinness". His geometrical conceit explains that relationships "Shine here to us, and thou art everywhere; This bed thy centre is, these walls, thy sphere." During the 17th century everything revolved around the sun, saying that lovers went against it was seen as going against the, thus showing how vital relationships are to human existence. The medium of a play allows us to a different view on how important love is one life's, and what is to be lost with its absence…

    Seven Deadly Sins and Tartuffe

    Orgon feels betrayed because he put enough trust into the friendship he had with Tartuffe to allow him to marry his daughter, but instead he wanted more. Tartuffe wanted to take Elmire away from Orgon. Instead of being satisfied with Dorine, Tartuffe was filled with greed. “Marry my daughter? Lust after my wife?” In this quote, Orgon is confused because he expected his daughter to be enough as any father would. Tartuffe’s betrayal is also unexpected because Orgon held Tartuffe in very high standard. Orgon was so naïve and thought so highly of him the he had given Tartuffe the deed to his house. In a concurring opinion, Orgon is very ignorant for trusting a man that he does not know. Although Tartuffe is said to be righteous and holy, he is still a man and he still can sin.…

    Colonel Manley Character Analysis

    Jonathan mistook him by his appearance as a congressman. “You a waiter! By the living jingo, you look so topping, I took you for one of the agents to Congress: (Tyler 577). Though both men are of the same rank, they view their titles so differently, whereas Jessamy is happy to be called a servant, Jonathan found it to be more demeaning and prefers the title of waiter “Servant! Sir, do you take me for a neger---I am Colonel Manly’s waiter (Tyler 577). Jessamy also seems throughout the play to make light of Jonathans shortcomings as he found him to be naive, and easily persuaded. Jessamy therefore planned an introduction of the ignorant and unpolished Jonathan to Miss Jenny “As ignorant and unpolished as he is, do you know, Miss Jenny, that I propose to introduce him to the honour of your acquaintance?” (Tyler 583). Thus coaching Jonathan on how and what to say to Miss Jenny. Jessamy’s intention was that she could take him under her wing and refine him or possibly his own amusement. This again is another example of the contrast between the two, whereas Jonathan was very trusting and naive, and Jessamy…

    Though responsibility for Ann’s affair cannot be placed on John, his misplaced efforts of affection lead to her feelings of discontent. As the hard working farmer that he is, John shows his love and commitment to Ann through his diligent care and provision for her. John hopes to give Ann a “new house and pretty clothes” (370) through his hard work; however, he neglects to see her longing for the time they might spend together now, rather than later.

    The Theme of Guilt in Fifth Business

    In The Fifth Business, by Robertson Davies, Guilt is a theme that runs throughout both The Fifth Business and is a major force in one's life. Davies demonstrates this by having one character feeling guilt while another who does not. Davies introduces the reader with Dunstan Ramsay and Percy Boyd Staunton. And Dunstan Ramsay and Percy Boyd Staunton are parallels to each other. Davies portrays the idea of competition through the relationship between Boy and Dunstan in their childhood, their military recognition, and their love for Leola. In this novel the theme of guilt is shown through the experiences of the characters as Dunstan felt guilty for the premature birth of Paul Dempster, Boy subconsciously felt guilty for the death of Leola, and Boy felt responsible for causing Mrs. Dempster to go insane. Guilt essentially is what drives the characters of Fifth Business and in the end determines the final conclusion. Lastly, although Boy and Dunstan are parallels of each other Davies uses their contrast in values, desire for control, and contrast in prosperity during youth. Their awkward relationship plays a major role in the elements that make Fifth Business such an interesting story. Hence, the story revolves around the idea of competition, guilt, and contrast between two similar yet different characters.…

    On the other hand the protagonist speaks very fondly of John and expresses that he does everything in well meaning: Dear John! He loves me very dearly, and hates to have me sick. In this way, the portrayal of John and the male gender role is not antagonistic as such, which gives room to nuanced reflections about male and female gender roles in that period of time. Yet in spite of that, the protagonist still shows signs of…
