unmasking mythical representations which had affected decisively the construction of genre as well as affected women life. In the following paper I will analyse the use of patriarchal myths towards feminism through the re-writing of Eve’s myth and the Paradise Lost at Carte’s works The Magic Toyshop (1969) and The Passion of New Eve (1977). Taking into account the thesis written by Susanne Schmid about myth’s use by Carter‚ we will start with the premise that she performs a rewriting that changes the

Satan and Eve Published in 1674 John Milton’s epic poem Paradise Lost is an ambitious retelling of Satan and Mankind’s fall from grace. While today it is generally thought of as a straightforward recount of the book of Genesis as interpreted by a devout Christian‚ the poem itself contains far more moral ambiguity then one would expect. Milton may have been unwaveringly devoted to Christianity and Puritanism‚ but he was also deeply distrustful of the church. He attended college with the intention

Q. “Self education plays a critical role in shaping the subjectivity of Victor Frankenstein’s monster”. Do you agree? Discuss. Rousseau believed that humans were intrinsically good when in their natural state (before civilization). According to him‚ humans were corrupted by society.

The movie‚ Blade runner‚ directed by Ridley Scott and produced by Michael Deeley‚ is strongly reflected on the bible and poetry by William Blake. The themes are so strong you’d think it is the bible itself. Deckard does not play God; however‚ he is represented as a biblical image. When we think of God‚ we think of greatness‚ domination and creator of the world

that are meant to highlight a theme (Citation needed). The first Fitzgerald used is from where he derives his title. “...Well this side of Paradise!... There’s little comfort in the wise.” The quote comes from Robert Brooke. Brooke wrote a poem called “Tiare Tahiti.” In this line Brooke discusses how heaven is supposed to be a relief to a select few; a paradise at the end of life. But the next part of the quote shows that he truly does not find comfort in this‚ since life on Earth is just too dreadful

Frankenstein’s creation is the perfect example of the Uncanny. Something uncanny can be something lifeless and/or inanimate objects that look humans (dolls‚ for example) given life or spirit. Frankenstein’s creation embodies this as a result of its giving one thing human characteristics (hair‚ teeth‚ and eyes) even though it usually does not have them. It’s applying human characteristics to one thing that ought to be dead (since it had been created from corpses). It’s this duplicity plan‚ wherever
