Just a Little More Love

Jude the Obscure is a novel written by Thomas Hardy and published in 1895 during the Victorian period. It is a bildungs roman which tells the story of Jude, a boy from the countryside who wants to dedicate his life to knowledge and to become one of the well educated men of Christminster but who fails.

Oscar Wilde presents a very candid impression of Victorian society and its values in The Importance Of Being Earnest. The title itself represents the irony of the play. The word earnest works on two levels- first the name Ernest, which is the main focus of the play, and also it sounds like honest which is exactly what Jack and Algernon- the two main characters of the play-are not.

communities until well into the twentieth century. When I was a boy, during the First World War, I took a canoe trip down the Kankakee River from near Chicago to the Mississippi. We passed through many villages where hardly an inhabitant spoke a word of English and where the only communication was the wandering tree-lined river and a single muddy, rutted road out to the highway. There is a book about it, Tales of a Vanishing River, and there was a popular humorous dialect poet, Drummond, who used to recite

Un vent froid de mars circulait alentour de Dallas, comme le docteur entrait dans une petite salle de l’hôpital où Diana Blessing était, encore étourdie de son accouchement.

You have been given a chance, a chance for a better life." The train clicked on. Mrs Carlyle stared out the window again for a moment before returning to stare at the teenage girl whose head was bent down towards her shiny new shoes."Look at me when I speak to you, Elizabeth." Garibooli lifted her face and looked across into

The Astorian Theory [pic] We have been given clues as to the identity and purpose of Jacob: a seemingly empty chair, liquid-filled jars on the window ledge, an oil painting of an Airedale terrier all in a derelict shack surrounded by a line of what appears to be dust; his ghost-like appearance to Locke in period costume - his words "help me"; his dislike of technology; his list; and, most importantly, the reverence in which the Others hold him. If we can work out who Jacob is, we may solve
