Social expectations and individual anxieties concerning sex and sexual stereotypes in Ian McEwan’s On Chesil Beach

I.                   Introduction Unlike Atonement , where at the very beginning the reader encounters an epigraph from Jane Austin that more or less pre-supposes intertextual clues for further reading, On Chesil Beach does not offer such accommodating leading first steps into its highly condensed narrative. Preoccupied with a single event that provides multivalent analyzing points, the dramatic intensity of the whole book is encoded in that condensed way of telling.

История и разказ в Случаят Джем на Вера Мутафчиева “Палачът груб, до лакти в кръв, не е ли чиновникът с червени ръкавели, който историята пише? Вечно с работа зает.” К . Кадийски. “Площадът на Бастилията ” Аристотел говори за разказа като m y thos . Митът , с генеративните си способности да създава и обяснява света, се родее както с литературата, така и с историята.

Robert Frost - fire and ice in verse

Some say Robert Frost is one of the most significant poets in modern American literature. Some critics push him in the margins of American literature. In a sense, Frost stands at the crossroads of nineteenth-century American poetry and modernism. He is either modernist but never innovator or his poetry is traditional but in original way. One of the most popular of his poems and usually anthologized is called “Fire and Ice”. The poem was originally published in December 1920 in Harper’s Magazine. And then added into Pulitzer prize winner poetry book New Hampshire. Simple as a theme, mirror like in verse and thought to be inspired by Dante’s Inferno, this poem may as well be read as subjective piece of art inspired by popular theory at that time that regards the end of the world. The main focus is in the emotional aspect of the poem, which makes “Fire and Ice” all time classic and highly preferable piece to read. In the very beginning of the poem a conflict is stated, a conflict ...
