Throughout the novel many problems occur. Some of the main problems are racial and equality issues. Events in this book show how prejudice and intolerance can ruin numerous friendships and change lives.

The people had been fertilized in tubes and divided into five classes. They all satisfied with their conditions and lived all their lives as what they had been conditioned to be. Just under this “brave new world”, human had lost their personal emotions, lost their love—sex had replaced love, lost their religions, lost their right to think and their creativities. I like this book better than Girl with a Pearl Earring is not only because of the edification it gives to me but its philosophical property and the great imaginary space it provides which the other one does not have. Although its writing style might seems dull and harder to understand compared to the other, but the various topics it involved such as art, science, religion, common sense, solitary, reflection, moral, stimulation, sex and suffering would make you get more than what you read. The story of Girl with a Pearl Earring described an obscure love story between maid Griet and the painter Vermeer. “I felt as if my parents had pushed me into the street, that a deal had been made and I was being passed into the hands of a man. At least he is a good man, I thought, even if his hands are not as clean as they could be.” The delicate descriptions about the character’s inner activity made this book more beautiful and mysterious. The weakness of the book is just the

The novel begins and centers around Salie, the narrator of the story and her football fanatic brother Madicke. Salie is struggling in France whilst her brother still in Niodior, Senegal, dreams of coming to France and becoming the next African football star in Europe by paying a fortune to be smuggled in illegally. Salie does not want to crush her brother's dreams, but she knows that coming to France is not the solution and understands how hard it is to convince him, especially when she “seems” to be doing well there from his point of view. ‘Salie was an outsider on the little Senegalese island of Niodior because she was illegitimate. She left to marry, got divorced, and now feels that she belongs nowhere’. Home is neither France nor Senegal for her. The novel recounts the fates of various immigrants who have tried to make it abroad with high hopes and dreams only to be crushed. For example, Moussa, the promising football player with lots of potential who is scouted and brought over to France only to have his dreams come crashing down when he is not qualified to join the team. ‘In leaving Niodior he had triumphed, but he will never return having conquered France and cannot let his family know he has failed’. ‘Salie knows that her brother Madicke may succeed as a footballer, but he will always be used by the colonial country. She sees this clearly in the French’s

In Baudelaire's poem "The Eyes of the Poor," the poet Charles Baudelaire creates an image for himself as a poet longing to create a union of souls with a woman whom he loves until the end of the poem. As a dissolute man-about-town he talks about the cafes he and the woman spend time in. He yearns to be one with her soul in a manner that eludes both of them. While part of the Romantic aesthetic was the idealization of the pastoral, Baudelaire shows the side that reflects the urban side of the Romantic. Baudelaire projects himself onto the image of other souls, but rather than the pure, untouched souls of rural folk, he sees an image of the urban poor that tears at his heartstrings, although he does not say so explicitly in the poem.

Compare the views of relationships in ‘The Unequal Fetters’ with those in ‘To his Coy Mistress’. What is suggested about the different ways in which men and women view love?

Poverty is a prevailing aspect in the novel because it shows the hardships of the characters and attracts the readers. It also gives more harsh detail into what life was like for migrant farm workers. George and Lennie, the two main characters in the novel, are very impoverished and struggle wi getting o bas necessities s such as food, water, and clothing. Instead of

From the start the novel is laden with the pressures that the main characters are exposed to due to their social inequality, unlikeness in their heredity, dissimilarity in their most distinctive character traits, differences in their aspirations and inequality in their endowments, let alone the increasingly fierce opposition that the characters are facing from modern post-war bourgeois society.

Take everything you know about racism, sexism, and religionism and toss it out the window, because there’s an impediment to prosperity that is often underlooked: Classism. Classism is a suppression which always has and always will continue to affect our everyday lives. The disparities that presently exist between the lower and higher classes form a condition where it is unlikely to allow for equality for anyone. The short stories “A Rose of Emily,” written by William Faulkner, and “Desiree’s Baby,” written by Kate Chopin, offered several depictions of classism within a society. “A Rose for Emily” recounts the life of an isolated, aristocratic woman named Emily Grierson who symbolically represents the demise of the old Southern society. Similarly, “Désirée’s Baby” portrays classism present in mid-nineteenth century Southern society in conjunction with the inequalities that exist between race. Class prejudice plays an important role as it was behind the emergence of the characters’ unspeakable actions. In “A Rose for Emily” and “Desiree’s Baby,” classism is emphasized and provokes arrogance, denial, and the demise of others.

To understand literature is to not only understand human nature, but to also understand how the surrounding conditions affect humans. It is often the situation that people are placed in which drives their actions. Similarly, the Marxist approach to studying literature focuses on how certain economic conditions can affect character’s values and actions. In addition, Marxism teaches that wealth is a critical part of society, as without it many opportunities are no longer present. For example, an individual with wealth can go through life leisurely, while a person without it is subject to greater hardships. In the play A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry, the struggle due to economic conditions is evident, as the dreams and aspirations of the Younger family become deferred due to their struggles with poverty. The economic conditions of the Younger family not only lead to the deferral of their dreams, but also to the neglect of their moral values as they begin to see wealth as a necessity.

For the bulk of the mid- to late-20th Century, Eileen Chang’s name and literary prowess fell into obscurity as a result of events related to the Cultural Revolution and her own reclusion. In C.T. Hsia’s A History of Modern Chinese Fiction, he praised Chang for her use of "rich imagery" and "profound exploration of human nature.” In his book, he also claimed Chang to be “the best and most important writer” of mid-twentieth century China. Hsia’s remarks and Ang Lee’s film adaptation of her novella, Lust, Caution, have helped to bring Chang’s name back onto the literary scene.

Finally, women were not treated equally in legal and social system. Mr. Bennet’s property is entailed to a distant cousin of the girls as there are no males in the family to inherit.

This puts extra burden on the family as if the girls are not married to men who can provide for them, they have to depend on the sympathy of Mr. Collins, their distant cousin whom the property is

Language and symbolism within a passage adds meaning behind an otherwise two dimensional story. The short story, “Storm Clouds Over the Island of Paradise” written by P. Sukanta portrays a typical love story, that denies two lovers to be united as one. The initial reading of the story revealed the tone to be sad, mundane and lonely. This was demonstrated by the dark images presented in the first few pages. This tone does not change greatly as the story progresses to presents the serious issues in a life of family traditions ruled by status.
