Based on the analysis of the narrator's pangs, this paper argues that it is mainly the uncertainty of cultural identity that leads to the pangs of the narrator, and of the second generation Chinese Americans. This paper shows that the second generation can take advantage of their dual but conflicting cultural heritages to develop a renewed and specific cultural identity.展开更多

The paper, as the title indicates, will be confined to a comparison and evaluation of Platonic love against love as articulated within Christianity. Both forms of love will be analyzed and I will attempt to show that although Plato, through Socrates (and Socrates through the Diotima character), tries to redeem the traditional understanding of love in the ancient Greek society that he was living in, Platonic love is still very different from the Christian concept of love.展开更多

In her novels, the Nobel laureate frequently returns to the past to search for answers to the questions she poses about African American realities in the contemporary United States. In doing so, Morrison often creates alternative histories or, more specifically, a usable past----one that allows her to engage in a literary (re-)construction of the Black historical and cultural material which traditional histories have chosen to ignore or disremember. Therefore, as a present-day writer of African American descent, Morrison attempts to reassemble all the fragmentary historical and cultural accounts available to her as a novelist and narrate them in the form of a convincing story. With regard to the above considerations, this article seeks to discuss some of the mechanisms employed by Morrison for weaving her postmodern, memory-filled narrative on the example of her eighth novel, Love (2003). In particular, the analysis focuses on the book's central figure, Bill Cosey, and his Southern ocean-side resort--both seen against the backdrop of the pre- and post-World War II racist America, followed by the 1960s decade of the Civil Rights Movement. Finally, it is also demonstrated how the author's use of split narrative as well as the "I" narrator-cum-character technique contribute to recounting in retrospect Love's main, historicized story---one viewed and judged from a present-time perspective.展开更多

And this paper tries to seek a solution: to have a compromised way which can blend the two cultures and have open mind towards the alien culture.展开更多

Their indispensable union is forged in rebellion against tyrannies. In their revolt they discover their deep and passionate need of each other. Love is conveyed in the process of struggle for individual fulfillment and humanity, based on mutual faith, mutual understanding. However, seduced by the worldliness and luxury, Catherine steps into the world of the Grange and becomes 'the greatest woman of the neighborhood'. Catherine' s betrayal and defection from Heathcliff lead to the tragedy of their love, which results from a world of inequality and oppression.展开更多

Famously he wrote: "Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality". The Love Song of J.Alfred Prufrock is a poem with a notable modern emotional coloring.The title of the poem is ironic in that the "Love Song" is in fact about the absence of love. It is interesting also for its method of presentation.Eliot’s poetry said more about the moden chaos and their volumes put together.展开更多
