Fictional
Portrayals of Women: William Faulkner Contrasted with Margaret Atwood
[ Send Me This Essay
]
A 5 page comparison of the portrayals of women found in William
Faulkner's "As I Lay Dying" and Margaret Atwood's "The
Handmaid's Tale". Observes that the characterization of women in
"As I Lay Dying" differs significantly from that in "The
Handmaid's Tale". While the women in Faulkner's book are presented
as simpletons and immoral, Atwood's women are presented as highly
intelligent despite the societal prohibitions for being so and highly
moral despite the forced circumstances of their lives. Both portrayals,
however, are replete with stereotypical representations of women. In
"The Handmaid's Tale", however, we are reassured that women
are not shallow, not by nature promiscuous, despite the societal
circumstances in which they may be forced to live.

Dream
Time in “As I Lay Dying,” “The Trial,” and “The Invisible
Man”
[ Send Me This Essay
]
A 12 page paper which discusses the use of the surrealistic, or dream
time, in the books “As I Lay Dying” by William Faulkner, “The
Trial” by Franz Kafka, and “The Invisible Man” by Ralph Ellison.
Each story presents the surreal, or dream time, in a completely
different manner. Faulkner does it primarily through the use of 15
narrators and the use of incredible language in introspective thought of
each narrator. Kafka is, as always, a very surrealistic writer who has
always written from such perspectives in the fact that his story lines
are surrealistic and exit in a special kind of dream time. Ellison’s
dream time exists through the one narrator who is incredibly lost in a
chaotic world as it relates to him discovering himself. Bibliography
lists 5 additional sources.

Communication
And Southern Literature
[ Send Me This Essay
]
7 pages in length. There have been a number of influences that
have shaped southern literature. From the time that Western
Europeans founded the country to the inclusion of southern lore
to the contributions of such literary giants as Eudora Welty and
William Faulkner, the composition of southern literature has
been both constant and ever changing. Indeed, as much as
America, itself, is a melting pot of diversity within a cultural
concern, so too has this considerable diversity represented a
significant aspect of its stronghold in the literary world.
However, the writer discusses how there is also a certain
difficulty with southern literature, in that the communication
factor is sometimes imperceptible and often troublesome to
comprehend. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
