The characters in Animal Farm are compared to the individuals and groups engaged in the Russian Revolution. "But the seeds for Animal Farm are present in earlier works, not only in the metaphors likening men to beast but more important, in Orwell's whole attitude towards society, which he sees as an aggregation of certain classes or types" (Greenblatt 188). The animal story begins with the Manor Farm's master, a human being, named Mr. Jones. .....

.... time being. The final statement in The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde perfectly coincides with the final image in Citizen Kane. The statement is as follows: “Here, then, as I lay down the pen, and proceed to seal up my confession, I bring the life of that unhappy Henry Jekyll to an end.” In Citizen Kane’s final shot, a reversal of the film's opening images, a dissolve shows the exterior of the Kane's palatial mansion at dusk, panning up with the black smoke of his burning possessions pouring from the chimney of his palace and filling the sky. The smoke of Kane's youth, his sled, disappears into the night sky. T .....

Theseus “had no joy of�(195) the princess Ariadne because she died before this was possible. Homer makes it sound as if Ariadne’s life was useless because she did not give Theseus pleasure. The only woman we hear of for a different reason is Klymene, and we only hear of her because she “betrayed her lord for gold.�(195) This is the only time we hear of a woman for something she did, and once we do, it is a negative remark. Penelope, Odysseus’ queen, is paid attention to only because of her posi .....
