... Masses. Unlike Hurston, Wright was propelled to international fame while still in the prime of his career. His works were acclaimed by numerous noted individuals; often comparing him to the likes of Theodore Drieser and John Steinbeck. Zora Neale Hurston’s “The Gilded Six-Bits” dialogue is written in heavy dialect. Its purpose is to excite the reader about a foreign culture and reveal elements of it. Hurston uses “storytelling” to fulfill the potential of the dialect's success. For example, Joe recalls his first encounter with Mr. Slemmons: “Ah went down to de sto’ tuh git a box of lye and Ah seen ‘im standin’ on de corner talkin& ...

... views have changed over time. Common stories portray good and evil through a protagonist and antagonist view. The first thing I think of when I hear "good vs. evil" would be a fairy tale. As in most fairy tales, there is always a good guy and a bad guy. An example of this kind of story would be Beowulf, where as Beowulf is the protagonist and Grendel is the antagonist. Grendel would come into the town and cause chaos every night, until Beowulf came along and had the courage to stand up to the beast. He killed Grendel bare handedly and saved the city from losing any more lives. People have come to expect the good guy to always save the day, whether he dies or not. Significan ...

... believes that he can move without the Oracle’s prophecy following him. No matter what Oedipus does, he has no control over what the gods have predetermined. The gods also punish the people of Thebes with hard times since it is these people who brought Oedipus into the land as their king. The gods do this in order to make the people see through Oedipus’ extreme pride and quick temper. The gods apparently think that the only way to get them to see what Oedipus has done is by causing the city pain and suffering. The gods use their insight to affect Oedipus’ life, family and city. Although the gods do not initially favor Oedipus, his kingdom sees him as a noble ruler. Oedipus’ pride preven ...

... in his life. Only two people try to convince Creon that he has made grave mistake and to change his decision before it is too late because no men should conflict with the will of god’s. It is hard for creon to believe that there is any higher authority. Haemon, Creon’s son and Creaon’s advisor, Tiresias both fail to redeem Creon of his pride. Heamon fails to change his father’s mind for many different reasons. Even before Haemon presented himself as weak and inferior to his father “ Far be it from me – I haven’t the shill, and certainly no desire, to tell you when, if ever, you make a slip in speech…. Though someone else might have a good suggestion.”(766-769) Haemon uses words like if, ...

... as the use of the paradoxes and the rhyming couplets like “my chance” with “fair France” and “cold’st neglect” to “inflamed respect”. By using these methods, stress is put onto the point that is being made by France and therefore is more explicit to the audience. France also uses loaded verbs to describe Lear’s actions, including “cast” and “thrown”, to suggest that Lear is being harsh and barbaric towards Cordelia, as these verbs sound aggressive. Lines 237 – 239 When France remarks that “Love’s not love” when it is “mingled with regards” that stand “Aloof from ...
