George Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion": Eliza Doolittle's Transformation From Flower Girl To Princess
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. That George Bernard Shaw draws attention to the snobbery of elitist linguists speaks to the importance of communication between and among human beings. The author's forthright contention was that people -- even those from the same country � could barely understand one another for the multitude of languages and dialects. Frustrated by the extent to which one Englishman could not converse with another of his own countrymen compelled Shaw to bring to light the substantial inadequacies brought about by language. Following Eliza Doolittle's transformation from flower girl to princess in Pygmalion allows the reader to gain a significantly better understanding of just how ingrained one's cultural dictates truly are.

George Bernard Shaw�s �Arms and the Man�
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses �Arms and the Man� written in 1894 and fitting into a category of his work that George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) called �Plays Pleasant.� This report presents the argument that the play is primarily a condemnation of the glorification of the military yet also tells the story of a remarkably short-lived yet bloody military engagement between Bulgaria and Serbia (in 1885). IT is also a romantic comedy that illustrates the foolishness of a person who is caught up in an overly romantic sense of self. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Gerard Manley Hopkins: Romanticism
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Gerard Manley Hopkins has a dual relationship with the poetic verse for which he is so well known; on the one hand, he adheres to the traditions of English poetry as practiced by the English Romantic poets, while on the other he departs in such a manner that his contemporaries thought Hopkins provided too much of a tortured sound. Inasmuch as the Romantic period is defined by a oneness with nature and the intangible world in general, Hopkins took this historic opportunity to express myriad feelings he had in relation to life, environment, social composition. As well, Romanticism is also indicated by a certain sense of melancholy for which the poet utilizes as a vehicle for such intense expression. The exact manner by which Hopkins reveals this connection is an integral component to the poet's overall mystique, utilizing the combined efforts of adherence to and departure from the norm in order to achieve his objective.
