    Gritty Domestic Life “The Miser” by Mona Van Duyn Mona Van Duyn once said “The world’s perverse, but it could be worse”. This quote relates to the dramatic monologue by Mona Van Duyn “The Miser” because the writer reveals the obsessive theme of a person who lives in wretched circumstances even though they can afford a good life only to hoard money. Why do people choose to live in such harsh, low life when they can afford comfortable life? In the poem, the speaker, the miser, reveals many of the everyday

    Themes of “Death and The Miser” The theme we had chosen for Death and The Miser is “A life of greed will eventually lead to misery.” We all have choices in our lives but do we always choose the correct one?

    The theme we created for Death and the Miser is “Forgiveness overrules your mistakes.” Everyone in life makes mistakes but it’s the forgiveness you get afterwards that counts. This theme applies to my groups’ story of Death and the Miser in many ways. An example would be when the Miser steals the indulgences and sells them for his own profit; the church later on forgives him for what he had done. I chose the movie Magnolia directed by Paul Thomas Anderson and the novel The Last Song written by Nicholas

    To support the cognitive miser theory, Greenwald and Benaji (1995) suggest categories for further exploration in social cognition which include —attitudes and stereotypes. Studies have acknowledged that attitudes are initiated outside of conscious attention by displaying how activation happens more rapidly than can be facilitated by our conscious activity. It is also stated that activation is originated by (unconscious) stimuli (Greenwald &Benaji, 1995). Within the domain of attitudes, implicit

Some take a little more thinking than others. For example, the Miser was having trouble deciding whether to choose between good or evil, while he was aware of the consequences.

    read various works from French author’s who do not follow this same approach. Instead, these author’s end their stories in a realistic manner that are not necessarily happy, but can relate to the reader’s own life experiences. In The Necklace, The Miser, and The tress of Hair, we read endings that do not meet our expectations of a happy ending, and instead concretely teach us that we cannot always expect the best in life. The 19th century short-story “The Necklace”, by Guy de Maupassant, we read
