revert to role-playing in order to escape or retreat from
their lives. The ability to create characters who play
roles, he says, either to "maintain self-esteem" or to

As far as Stubbs is concerned, Hemingway is quite blatant in
letting us know that role-playing is what is occurring. He
tells that the role-playi .....

Sir Gawain And The Green Knigh
Words: 776 - Pages: 3.... - the beheading game or contest the exchange of winnings, and the temptations - occur throughout the romances, but the Gawain-Poet was the first to combine them into a meaningful structure. The latter places the poem in relationship with Anglo-Saxon alliterative poetry, an important part of the Gawain-Poet's cultural and moral heritage. Both in the poet's use of alliterative verse and in his characterization of Gawain, it is apparent that Gawain has much in common with the Anglo-Saxon hero, such as Beowulf. The strange, hostile world he encounters upon leaving Camelot, the many tests he endures, the crafty machinations of the Green Knight .....

Words: 1164 - Pages: 5.... opinion mocking philosophical optimism. On page 1594, Candide is
asking a gentleman about whether everything is for the best in the
physical world as well as the moral universe. The man replies:
...I believe nothing of the sort. I find that everything goes wrong in
our world; that nobody knows his place in society or his
duty, what he's doing or what he ought to be doing, and that outside
of mealtimes...the rest of the day is spent in useless
quarrels...-it's one unending warfare.
By having this character take on such a pessimistic tone, he
directly contradicts the obviously over-optimistic tone of Candide. .....

James Joyce's "Araby"
Words: 466 - Pages: 2.... the booth at the bazaar. This
shows the power and persuasiveness that England has at that time over Dublin.
The antagonist in this story, which can easily be determined is the

the people from this city. Dublin is referred to as the "center of
paralyses,"(Internet) and "indeed sterile."(Joyce) This plays a huge role in the
