In essence, as Saussure proposes, white cannot exist without its polar black, and good cannot exist without evil; civilized co-exists only with savage and finally, colonizer and colonized depend on each other for meaning, just as each term depends on one another for meaning. Such oppositions, each of which represents a binary system, are very common in the

soon as Pangloss had a little refreshed himself, Candide began to repeat his inquiries concerning Miss Cunegund. “She is dead,” replied the other. “Dead!” cried Candide, and immediately fainted away; his friend restored him by the help of a little bad vinegar, which he found by chance in the stable. Candide opened his eyes, and again repeated: “Dead! is Miss Cunegund dead? Ah, where is the best of worlds now? But of what illness did she die?

Rachel very angry. The narrator admits it was a nasty thing to do, but says he is rather a friendly man (which, according to him, was a quality required by his job; however this job taught him “the dangers of family life”). He doesn’t think he was as bad a father and husband as Rachel claims he was. In fact, he may not die that soon: we learn that he suffered from a lung cancer, but is in remission. However, he doesn’t trust the doctor very much and thinks his life may have come to an end: that’s why

sales. That isn’t enough. Of course, advertising must sell. By any definition it is lousy advertising if it doesn’t. But if sales are achieved with work which is in bad taste or is intellectual garbage, it shouldn’t be applauded no matter how much it sells. Offensive, dull, abrasive, stupid advertising is bad for the entire industry and bad for business as a whole.

things were done in a hurry by Mr. Austen. ( Wilks79) The move to Bath involved more than merely a change of scenery. In order to make the move, Mr. Austen's library of over 500 volumes and all the family furniture had to be sold (the roads being so bad that the furnishings would be unlikely to survive the trip intact). Even Jane's personal pianoforte had to be sacrificed. And Bath was not a quiet country community like Steventon. Instead it was a bustling resort town with 30,000 inhabitants and constant

I N G T O T H E PA R T Y horseshit mental. Every week, it seemed, another pretty young girl from a nice family, who was happy and popular and always did well at school, was being kidnapped or murdered by what the Sun newspaper cheerfully termed ‘evil paedo scum’. Naming and shaming was as popular a feature in the Murdoch press as Page Three girls and discounted holidays to Butlin’s. Of course you can’t blame parents for wanting to keep their children safe; that’s pretty much the job description

Raskolnikov is a neurotic who cannot keep from projecting his inner states upon the world. The truth is that we all see as we feel, or, better, that our vision is always complex, always moral, always spiritual: we “see” beauty and ugliness, we “see” good and evil.
