Visions of Hell and Utopia in Sartre, Voltaire, and More
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper discussing whether the three condemned characters of Sartre's play would have had a more productive life in More's 'Utopia' or Voltaire's 'Eldorado' (from 'Candide'). The paper concludes that despite the fact that the most famous line from 'No Exit' is Garcin's exclamation that 'Hell is other people,' Hell is really in yourself, and no physical Utopian surroundings can transform it into heaven.

Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita (1958): A Review.
(Aka - Nabokov Dances withCoyote. )
[ send me this essay ]
(5 pp) The wonderful thing about the art process,
both in the creation of a piece and the "viewing"
of the work is that the viewer/reader brings
their own feelings -their own spirit to the work,
and then shifts through the corresponding pieces
to see if they can provide more information about
the puzzle that surrounds us. Are there other
spiritual Humberts out there? If so what happens
when they meet another of their own kind?

Volpone's Punishment
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Throughout the play and
with Volpone's various wiles, aided in part by his friend Mosca,
we see how Volpone delights in the things he does and with little
or no remorse. It is for this reason then, that we are glad to
see Volpone get his punishment at the end; but there are ways in
which Volpone's punishment is and at the same time is not
completely satisfactory. Bibliography lists 1 sources.

Voltaire & Swift as Social Critics
[ send me this essay ]
An 8 page essay that contrasts and compares Voltaire and Jonathan Swift as social critics. The writer argues that Jean Francois Marie Arouet de Voltaire in his text Zadig (1747) and Jonathan Swift in his text Gulliver's Travels (1726) created scathing satirical comments on their respective societies of France and England. In both cases, these great satirists used an imaginative setting as a thinly disguised framework on which to pin their insightful parodies of eighteenth century culture. Both Voltaire and Swift employ considerable humor, but nevertheless present situations that comment on the foibles and hypocrisies of their particular era. No additional sources cited.
