Love and Time in Three Poems of William Butler Yeats
[ send me this essay ]
This 5 page report discusses the poetry of William Butler Yeats with a primary focus on “Adam’s Curse.” In the vast majority of Yeats’ love poetry he is able to separate a clearly personal experience and emphasize its greater universality in terms of shared emotion and a tone of melancholy awareness that transfixes most people at some point in the midst of their greater experience of love. “Adam’s Curse” is not unique in its ability to express those broad and often disturbing visions of the experience of love and loss. Many of Yeats’ love poems also convey such sentiments and “Never Give All the Heart” and “O Do not Love too Long” are also examined. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Mental Disturbance Of Francie Brady In Patrick McCabe's "The Butcher Boy"
[ send me this essay ]
12 pages in length. If given the choice, Francie Brady would not have chosen the life path upon which he was so violently thrust. In fact, if given the opportunity early in life to develop into a normal, active and loving boy, Francie Brady would have very likely been an outstanding representation of just how wonderful children can be when guided by nurturing, devoted and right-minded parents. However, Francie Brady's life ended up the same way it started out: anything but normal. The equation of a suicidal mother and an alcoholic father set the stage for a boy who occupies equally the role of victim and victimizer as he struggles amidst significant odds to make sense of a life gone terribly wrong. No additional sources cited.

Refuting Kearney on Joyce's "A Mother"
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page essay that argues against the premise taken by Martin F. Kearney's 2001 article on Joyce's short story "A Mother." This article offers a fresh interpretation of this story, as this critic argues that Joyce intended this short story to be read as an historical analogue to real events. Specifically, this critic feels that Joyce meant his story's protagonist Mrs. Kearney should conjure details from the life of real-life Irish patriot Anne Devlin, who participated in Robert Emmet's failed 1803 Dublin uprising. The writer summarizes Kearney's argument and then argues against his position. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
