Violence In William Carlos Williams The Use Of Force
In the short story "The Use of Force" published in 1938, William Carlos Williams reveals that violence is a significant aspect of human nature. During the story Williams uses the component of character to describe the intense emotions felt by the doctor.

The author uses the characters of the doctor, the little girl, and her parents to show that emotions sometimes get in the way of what society expects from people. This is shown by the fact that the doctor – who at first glance seems to be zealous and quite frank – is angered and shows a peculiar, but perhaps crucial, yearning for violence. In a sense, the doctor is in some way satisfied when hurting the little girl. This is known by the fact that the doctor knows he can and should come

    Her story is filled with immense grief and pain, and the drastic consequences that result from the insanity of loving loved ones. The Plague is unforgiving and unbiased, as “wealth and connection are no shield” against it. Anna, a young mother of two, loses both children to the epidemic. She loved them ‘from the moment [she] reached down and touched the crown of [their] heads” and yet the place was ‘cruel’ and threw blows upon blows “so that before you have mourned one person that you love, another is ill in your arms”. The death of two young, innocent children is not only horrifying and heart-wrenching, but reduces Anna to “not really seeing anything. It is only the tragedy of losing her ‘babes’, husband, potential lover in Mr Viccar, that she turns to Elinor and begins to learn the arts of physick. An aspect of the time era this story was set in, was the people’s avid belief of medicine and herbs being the way of the witches. Instead of accepting Any and Mem Gowdie’s goodwill and knowledge that was “old before Mem Gowdie was even thought of”, they went to hire expensive physicians which ultimately give no help. Birthing places a woman in a fragile and vulnerable state, and yet “there were few who would do without Anys in their birthing room” despite many of them fearing that Anys was a witch. Although they hated the Gowdies’, ironically, when the death toll rises to where over two-thirds of the villagers lose their lives to the Plague, many people resort to witchcraft, believing the in the “ghost of Anys”. They place themselves through unnecessary punishment and pain, such as “boiling the babe’s piss” or passing a child “through the brambles”. Through desperation, flagellants also appear, desperate to please their God through self punishment. The villager’s lack of knowledge and unwillingness to accept views which lie…

    In chapter 11 of How to Read Literature Like a Professor, Thomas C. Foster reveals the implications that violence in literature poses about a character. Through a slave women's suicide, Foster reveals that in some situations, "the only power they have, is that they may choose to die" (101). In Chinua Achebe's novel Things Fall Apart, Okonkwo's suicide, an act of self-directed violence, was his way of escaping from the control of the white missionaries and preventing himself from facing the fall of Umuofia.

    “The dismal drum of Huichilobos sounded again, accompanied by conches, horns, and trumpet-like instruments. It was a terrifying sound, and when we looked at the tall cue (temple-pyramid) from which it came we saw our comrades who had been captured in Cortes’ defeat being dragged up the steps to be sacrificed. When they had haled them up to a small platform in front of the shrine where they kept their accursed idols we saw them put plums on the heads of many of them; and then they made them dance with a sort of fan in front of Huichilobos. Then after they had danced the papas (Aztec priests) laid them down on their backs on some narrow stones of sacrifice and, cutting open their chests, drew out their palpitating hearts which they offered to the idols before them. Then they kicked the bodies down the steps, and the Indian butchers who were waiting below cut off…

    Violence has been a part of human history since the first ape slapped another ape. Over the course of generations wars have been fought and lost, while the human toll has been too large to comprehend. Violence has shaped our world, our nations, and our lives. It has even influenced many of the world’s finest works of literature. While the violence in Macbeth is what is responsible for the entirety of the story it no doubt grows out of control, since Duncan’s murder by Macbeth serves as catalyst for more murders by other characters, making The Tragedy of Macbeth one of the more brutal plays of its time.…

    The doctor is at the store-buying snack when he sees the store clerk and the child start arguing. The clerk confronts the child for stealing and threatens to call the police. The doctor stops the clerks by offering the amount due for the child’s food. The clerk greedily accepts the money and tells the child do not return or next time the police will come. After the confrontation, the clerk asks the doctor “why did he pay for a common theft?” The doctor humbly replies, “That once was me.” The child challenged the doctor’s ethics because he knew that it was wrong to steal, but when you have very little to your name a person will steal to survive. Persuasion comes into play when the doctor had to convince the clerk with money to let the child…

    William Carlos Williams was born on September 17, 1883 in Rutherford, New Jersey. He was a poet, novelist and a doctor, and worked hard throughout his life. He was one of the principal poets of the Imagist movement. He had his own techniques and I just finished reading "Spring and All" by William Carlos Williams. I realized that Williams also used dashes in his poems just like Emily Dickinson used in her poetry. I also liked how Williams used contrasts between winter and spring, sickness and health and death and birth.…

    As literature evolved over time, different styles of writing emerged in response to societal changes that occurred in each individual writer’s lifetime. One style of writing that emerged in the early 1900’s was described as Imagism. This style of writing is in which a writer writes in a specific way that evokes an image within the audience’s minds. Two writers from this time period that wrote in the Imagist style were William Carlos Williams and Ezra Pound. Williams became known for his imagist works such as “The Red Wheelbarrow” and “This is Just to Say,” both of which are forms of imagism but in far different ways. A work that stood out from the imagist works was “In a Station of the Metro,” by Ezra pound which is a very simplistic but deep…
