The Use of Dreams and Supernatural References in Bulgakov’s “The Master and Margarita” and Mann’s “The Magic Mountain”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the references of dreams and the supernatural in Mikhail Bulgakov’s “The Master and Margarita” and Thomas Mann’s “The Magic Mountain”. Mikhail Bulgakov’s “The Master and Margarita” and Thomas Mann’s “The Magic Mountain” both contain references to dream sequences to allow the characters to escape or mask the reality of life which surrounds them. In “The Master and Margarita”, Bulgakov uses dreams sequences and references to supernatural elements to allow the characters to speak about the underground world of the secret police. As characters are taken for questioning, the details of the abductions by “them” are made possible by the unreality and the distance provided by dreams. In addition, references to the supernatural such as “the Devil” also invoke memories of ancient taboos in society which are known to be punished. Mann’s central character Hans in “The Magic Mountain” has various dreams, daydreams and “vision quests” which allow the character to escape the routine and reality of his life. Already escaping somewhat to the sanatorium in the mountains, Hans has drug and fever induced dreams in which he gains more insight into the actions of man and offers him more freedom and confidence in his own decisions in life.

Views of World War I
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay that examines 2 views of WWI. History texts, such as Matthew Perry's Western Civilization: A Brief History, look at wars and major events from the broad perspective. Perry's analysis of the First World War, for example, focuses primarily upon the major decisions of the war and those who made them. This contrasts with Erich M. Remarque's perspective and focus in his novel All Quiet on the Western Front, in which the focus is primarily that of the common man. Both perspectives are needed to fully understand the cataclysmic conflict that history calls World War I. No additional sources cited.

Why Gregor Samsa Must Become the Beetle
[ send me this paper ]
Gregor Samsa, a traveler, awakes to find that his body is hard and armour plated with a “vaulted brown belly divided” into stiff arched segments (Kafka 3). At first, he desires to go back to sleep and forget about “all this foolishness” (4), but he cannot. He realizes he has become the “mindless and spineless” (5) creature his boss and father want him to be, which is “a scoundrel” (10) to be treated with suspicion despite unfailing devotion and company loyalty. Gregor refuses to become like the head clerk, so he embraces his transformation from an agitated beetle into the person he is to become. This interim step is necessary to prove to Gregor that he must make the change. jvKafMet.rtf
