"Love" In The Novel Narcissus And Goldmund, By Herman Hesse
Words: 1230 - Pages: 5.... However, I believe that neither of them
ever really experiences the bonds of unwavering love and equality until the
very end.
The relationship begins innocently enough. Goldmund is a young
student, while Narcissus is his older mentor at the Mariabronn cloister.
Goldmund admires the learned mind and discerning wit of Narcissus, while
Narcissus respects the "strong, delicate senses" that Goldmund possesses.
However, when Narcissus confronts Goldmund with his gifted observations of
him, it is a valid indication of the type of relationship that has so far
grown between them.
"I am superior to you only in one point: I'm awake, whereas you

Paradise Lost
Words: 3207 - Pages: 12.... an Ariostan Paradise of Fools; [and] Spenserian allegorical figures (Sin and Death) . . . . (3)

approaching. He waxed philosophical about the future, and even quoted a few
scriptures. This is most certainly not the man first seen at the Old Bailey
with the sideways wig.
Another interesting change took place in the character of Madame Defarge.
She is first portrayed as a woman of principle who is helping her husband with
the revolution. However, Madame Defarge makes a startling metamorphosis from
supporting character to antagonist when she is revealed to be the shadow. She
is shown to be cruel and petty, not the compassionate woman one would assume of
a leader of a revolut .....

Book Review: For Whom The Bell Tolls
Words: 307 - Pages: 2.... is very
brave and cunning from what has been read so far and is very skilled at his job.
Jordan's guide in the jungle is a man of 68 years named Anselmo. Anselmo is
very agile and strong for his age and is a good guide. In addition to this, he
is also very wise and provides meaningful insight when a situation arises.
There has been no turning point in the book other than Robert Jordan
getting his mission orders which is really the beginning and not a turning point.
My personal opinion of the book so far is good. I like the usage of language,
the way a character speaks, the lack of contractions, and where the story is
headed. The star .....
