The text is very descriptive and loaded with symbols. The author takes the opportunity to relate elements of setting with symbols with meanings beyond the first reading’s impressions. The house that the characters rent for the summer as well as the surrounding scenery are introduced right from the beginning. It is an isolated house, situated "quite three miles from the village"(947); this location suggests an isolated environment. Because of its "colonial mansion"(946) look, and its age and state of degradation, of the house, a supernatural hypothesis is implied: the place is haunted by ghosts. This description also suggests stability, strength, power and control. It symbolizes the patriarchal oriented society of the author’s time. The image of a haunted house is curiously superimposed with light color elements of setting: a "delicious garden"(947), "velvet meadows"(950), "old-fashioned flowers, and bushes and gnarly trees"(948) suggest bright green. The room has "air and sunshine galore"(947), the garden is "large and shady"(947) and has "deep-shaded arbors"(948). The unclean yellow of the wallpaper is

A foil for Adele Ratignolle, Mademoiselle Reisz serves as a living example of an entirely self-sufficient woman, who is ruled by her art and her passions, rather than by the expectations of society. A small homely woman, unmarried and childless, Mademoiselle Reisz is a talented pianist and somewhat of a recluse. She represents the anti-mother along independence and freedom. The first time she is introduced in the novel she is introduced as being “eccentric and quarrelsome”, from that we are able to infer that she is unlike the other women. Later as the novel continues to progress from her house and manner of expression we are again able to infer that she is unlike the other Creole women. For her home is an apartment above everyone, with a view, that is disagreeable and often cold. Mademoiselle Reisz is the woman that Edna could have become should she have remained independent of her husband and children and lived to old age.

7. The setting is used as a reflection of the woman's inner emotions. The sun shines and birds sing with no sign of gloom because she is not actually mourning as she thinks to herself. The lack of sorrow from the woman cause the setting to seem even more lovely to her as she realizes she is feeling joy. The details used by the writer portray a sense of well being and positivity. The woman reaches out towards the window as if her joy is tangible, this is a vey important

Are the characters influenced by their setting? How might they behave if they were in a different setting?

At grand isle Mrs. Pontellier meets a man named Robert Leburn whom she falls in love with. They end up proclaiming their love in the novel, but then as their romance grows it falls apart. Robert Leburn

Edna becomes familiar with the idea that she needs to do something about herself so that she doesn’t continue her colorless, stereotypical life; she has to drift away from her regular routine and disenthrall.

As the light shines through the dusty window, the light shows of good things coming but the dust blocking it shining all the way through, shows the challenges that may come with the good.As the author explains the cabin , George and Lennie are getting introduced to the new ranch and all the people there. In chapter 2, 2nd paragraph it says, “ At about ten O’clock in the morning the sun threw a bright dust-laden bar ….”. The quote joins the fact that the good is coming but there may be challenges along the way. The sun represents good in literature and dust in literature represents lifelessness or oldness. In chapter one, at the very begining of the book, the author is describing what lennie and George are seeing as they are walking away from their old town. It says, “ The golden foothill slopes curve up.” This piece of text shows a new begining. The light image here depicts a safe place for the men. In the beginging of chapter 4, the author is talking about crooks room, when Lennie is talking to Crook. It says, “in the stable bucks

In lines 8, 9, and 15, the girl repeats the word die which symbolizes the girl’s anxiety and fears about life. However the poet’s word choice symbolizes the emotional aspects of the speaker. The final lines of each stanza “and momma’s in the bedroom/with the door closed” (line 10, 11and line 32, 33) is repetition and symbolism. These lines symbolize the teens’ feelings of neglect, abandonment, vulnerability. A bedroom is usually a place for resting, but the detail that the mom is always inside with the door closed could symbolize absence or death. These lines also symbolize the girls’ desire of guidance from her mother and hope that her mother will come to her rescue. The lack of her mothers’ guidance causes the girl to struggle in society. These lines also stress the importance of the role parents have in adolescents

As a result, Edna holding on to her individuality in the midst of suffering all the way to her death invokes a sense of pity from the readers and that society is oblivious to Edna’s

The novels begins with a doubtful case, which the first sentence has already given readers sense of foreboding: “Small trees had attacked my parents’ house at the foundation…. They had grown into the unseen wall and it was difficult to pry them loose.” (Pg.1) These silent "uninvited guest" disturbed the quiet weekend afternoon, it also seems to foreshadow that the quiet life of a happy family is about to be broken.

The atmosphere of this exposition is clearly foreboding: "the dark clouds, broken chimneys, unused street, solitary cat, and dead air" all prove ominous and reflect the sordid ruling mood. Failed culture and solitary of aimless women ("a cat moved itself in and out of railing") not knowing exactly what to do about their predicaments in which

Mrs. Ratignolle requests that Robert stop following Mrs. Pontellier around, saying that his admiration may be misunderstood and that the other woman may not understand the love-game he is playing. Robert is offended and hassles to be taken seriously, but soon changes the talk by chatting about Alcée Arobin. When they arrive at the Ratignolle house, Robert apologizes for his eruption and clarifies that he should be the one warned about not taking his own actions seriously. After volunteering to make Madame Ratignolle some bouillon, Robert looks at the people on the beach. He witnesses two lovers and goes to visit his mother, who is sewing. He asks where Mrs. Pontellier is and, at his mother's bidding, tries to call out the window to his younger

"He had not forgiven Anne Elliot. She had used him ill, deserted and disappointed him She had given him up to oblige others. It had been the effect of over-persuasion His bright proud eye spoke the happy conviction that he was nice; and Anne Elliot was not out of his thoughts, when he more than seriously described the woman he wished to meet with. 'A strong mind, with sweetness of manner', made the first and last of the description".

“That oppresses, like the Heft of Cathedral Tunes--.” It has a very heavy feeling derived from the word Heft as well as Cathedral Tunes. The Cathedral is considered sacred yet it is such as somber sound that it could easily affect a person’s mood. The use of paradoxes in the poem creates a sense of confusion about the true feelings about the revelation. “Heavenly Hurt” is both wonderful and horrible and suggests that the pain comes from the heavens. This suggestion is support in various situations throughout the poem. “Cathedral Tunes” and “Sent us of the Air” are the prime examples. It shows that this new realization may have been from a divine being therefore the reader is confused on it’s significance because it perhaps a type of gift. “Landscapes Listen Shadows—hold their breathe” is the personification used in the poem. This personification in the work shows that a divine being has arranged for this revelation to occur therefore, all of nature will halt to the being who has been selected to find this new piece of themselves. She also uses a bit of irony as well as parallel structure to set the scene in the poem. The revelation is brought out in the light of an wintery afternoon, this is the parallel yet it oppressive and dark which is ironic because the light brought with it such darkness.
