Re-writing Cinderella in the Stepsisters\' Point of View Essay

Our sister Cinderella is such is a goody-two-shoes. Everyone thinks she is so quiet and innocent, but really she is a cruel sister when no one is around. She makes my sister, Drewzilla, and I, clean everything, do all her chores, and make us take care of the animals that live in the walls of our house, they are mostly mice. Cinderella always takes the credit for the work that she makes us do. Our mother even likes her better than us because she believes her lies. Everyday we have to stay in our room all alone while Cinderella went to the balls, interacted with all the good looking men, and even got to have dinner with the Queen, while we are left with scraps. All the pain started when I said, go away and leave my sister and I alone! You are living like a Princess while we are your own personal servants suffering try to keep surviving. Cinderella got really mad and scared and said, you are both one of the ugliest stepsisters I have ever seen. Now go away and leave me to my peace. Then all broke out into warfare. I pushed Cinderella into a wall and said, Do our chores or you will become bloody everyday. Cinderella commanded, No, do my chores or you will not get fed until two weeks has passed by. After that she pushed my sister and I to the floor and started to hit and smack us in the face, which made our noses bleed. I said, you are too ugly to go to the balls.

Character Analysis of Basil Hallward in The Picture of Dorian Gray, a Novel by Oscar Wilde Essay

The main character in The Picture of Dorian Gray, Dorian, is a man too easily influenced by his surroundings. He is quoted as saying, Basil Hallward is what I think I am Lord Henry is what the world thinks me Dorian is what I would like to bein other ages, perhaps (Wilde). This comparison falls in line with the moral of the story because Dorian is stuck with eternal youth and beauty even though he has a wicked soul. This causes different views of him by people who observe his daily life. Dorian is a sponge throughout the novel that absorbs everything and allows it to shape his personality, morals, and actions.

Religious Symbolism in The Blessed Damozel, a Poem by Dante Gabriel Rossetti Essay

Dante Gabriel Rossettis poem The Blessed Damozel is full of religious symbolism. There is talk of saints, and the poem itself takes place in heaven. But underneath the religious symbolism is a deep sensuality, that makes one wonder if the white rose of Marys gift referred to in line nine is the gift of Mary the Virgin, or the somewhat less virginal Mary Magdalene. While the Damozel is in heaven, her appearance in heaven, her behaviors in life, and what happens when she and her lover are reunited suggest some less than virginal dealings, yet the damozel is blessed and resides in heaven.

An Analysis of the Character of Chichikov in the Poem, Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol Essay

Dead Souls takes place in the Russia of the late 1800s, where, unlike in America, one must be born into a prosperous family in order to have opportunities. The main character, Chichikov, is clever enough to develop a scheme in which he can rise from being a petty clerk to a respected landowner. In order to do this, Chichikov moves into a new town, pretending to already be a landowner, and begins a quest to buy the names of dead serfs who have not yet been officially reported dead. Each person that Chichkov presents this offer to has a different reaction, starting with the shy and introverted Manilov. Though he does not understand Chichikov's need for the names of these dead serfs, Manilov is a character that is so desperate for company that it does not take any effort to trick him into selling his dead souls cheaply. However, as Chichikov continues his journey, he starts to deal with more clever landowners who become suspicious of his scheme. Chichikov finds that the townsmen know
