[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page overview of the novel by Honore De Balzac. Outlines the major themes of the novel and traces the role of the character Eugene Rastignac. Contends that the evolution in thought and ideology experienced by Rastignac is at least as captivating as the central theme of this novel. Rastignac’s struggle is influenced not only by the geography of his origin and his aspirations but also the existing social status and attitudes towards money. The tale of Rastignac blends seamlessly with that of Goriot and his daughters to provide a warning of the sometimes circuitous and perilous journey of social aspiration.

Beckett's Endgame
[ send me this essay ]
A 12 page essay that discusses this play by Samuel Beckett in detail. The compelling question of the play is whether or not Clov will actually leave Hamm, as he threatens to do throughout the narrative. Some interpretations of the play see the characters as being trapped in a cyclical existence that has no true meaning due to its repetitive nature. Others have posited that due to actions in the play that seem irrevocable, there is a possibility for freedom. Examination of the play, however, the evidence that favors an interpretation that the characters are trapped in a meaningless and pointless existence is much stronger than any indication that there is an escape from their private hell. Over and over again, Beckett focuses on the farcical nature of the characters' repetitious behavior, which creates rituals of living that serve no purpose and simply keep them going toward all life's ultimate destiny, which is death.
