Austen's Northanger Abbey: The Character of
General Tilney
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp). Northanger Abbey was written in 1797-98
under a different title. The manuscript was
revised around 1803 and sold to a London publisher,
Crosbie & Co., who sold it back in 1816. The
Signet Classic text is based on the first edition,
published by John Murray, London, in 1818--the year
following Miss Austen's death.
General Tilney 'not past the vigour of life,
' is the character which we will examine in this
discussion. The General as he is often referred to
in the text serves as the example of the 'old school,
' both as a male and as a parent. Since we are
talking of a coming of age story it is not unusual
that this character serves as a foil for the young
lady in question.

Author�s Ideology as Reflected in Alice Walker�s �The Color Purple� and Jane Austen�s �Pride and Prejudice�
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing how the ideologies of Alice Walker and Jane Austen are represented in their novels. Women novelists Alice Walker and Jane Austen provide different examples of how they have managed to represent their own ideologies within their novels. Alice Walker wrote �The Color Purple� in 1982 and conveyed her ideologies of equal and civil rights through the first person narration of the central character of Celie who is a poor, black woman living under the oppression of society and the men in her life. Her character slowly develops a sense of independence that Walker wishes upon her black female readers. In the 19th century, Jane Austen�s novel �Pride and Prejudice� also included Austen�s feminist ideologies in regards to many of the unreasonable and unequal aspects in society in the treatment of women. Because Austen was writing at a time when women were expected to only write sentimental novels however, Austen reveals her ideologies through the minor characters in the book, such as Mrs. Bennet, who through a satirical twist find society�s conventions unreasonable while her central characters are considered conventional and therefore accepted.

Behn's Oroonoka And British Colonialism
[ send me this paper ]

story of an African Prince who is wed to the woman of his dreams and
then captured and sold into slavery. It is also the story of an
aristocratic young woman who 'befriends' the savage. This 5 page paper

differentiation in colonial, or plantation, society, such as ethnic and
cultural status, social class, ownership of property and land, economic
wealth, employment, education and political power in her story. It then

Britain during the same time period. No additional sources are listed.

Beowulf & Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page research paper that contrasts and compares the topic of heroism in Beowulf and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. The writer concludes that by the time that Sir Gawain and the Green Knight was recorded, the cultural paradigm had changed from one stresses the warrior ethos to a Christian perspective. No longer was it acceptable for a knight to place his loyalty primarily to his liege lord or to view himself in a heroic context, as his first loyalty was to God and, before God, he should be humble and contrite. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
