Doctor Faustus tells the story of the scholar Faustus who makes a pact with the devil, exchanging his soul for knowledge and power. In the prologue, the chorus introduces Faustus as an ambitious man who rejects his ordinary life and studies magic instead. In his study, Faustus conjures the devil Mephistophilis and agrees to sell his soul to Lucifer in exchange for 24 years of service. Throughout the play, Faustus struggles with doubt and repentance but ultimately refuses to turn back to God. In his final hour, Faustus is damned to hell for all eternity for his pride and rejection of faith.
This document discusses how Christopher Marlowe's play "Dr. Faustus" can be considered a morality play. It contains elements common to morality plays, such as Good and Bad Angels providing guidance to Faustus, the portrayal of the Seven Deadly Sins, the presence of the devil Mephistophilis, and a vision of Hell. These allegorical elements convey the moral lesson of the soul's struggle between good and evil and the consequences of giving in to temptation. The use of such symbols and allegories effectively positions "Dr. Faustus" as a morality play that warns against straying from righteousness.
Samuel Johnson wrote a preface to Shakespeare analyzing his works. He praised Shakespeare's ability to create universally understood characters despite differences in place and time. However, he also acknowledged Shakespeare's faults, such as neglecting moral lessons, weak plots, and stretching out stories too long.

He saw imagination as the key distinguishing factor of a true poet.

Literature has many concepts and genre to present and Ecology is no exception. Will Eisner's A Contract with God could more accurately be called a "graphic cycle" in that its narrative structure is based on four short interconnected stories, all linked by the common setting of a 1930s Bronx tenement house. The study takes the Graphic novel to many depth concepts and understanding. This work has short-story cycle than it does with the traditional novel. Through his composite structuring, Eisner links his Dropsie Avenue stories in such a way that the meaning of each individual story is largely contingent upon that of the others in the text. The study of A Contract with God explores the concept of man vs nature with the characters used in the work. The main character is a deeply religious Hasidic Jew named Frimme Hirsch who carves a contract with God on a stone tablet. When he wrote it, he was grieving the death of his daughter from leukemia. His argument with God and scolds him for the death of his daughter. This rage comes as man vs nature.

Chetan Bhagats The Girl in Room 105: Critically Appreciate Kaushal Desai
油
Like any other book, The Girl in Room 105 title also contains a number likes 2 States, Five Points Someone, Revolution 2020 etc. Having a number in the title has become the trademarked style for Bhagat. The book also has a lot of comedies for laugh and witty one-liners that you will enjoy.
However, something is different in the book. The book cover is not cartoonish like Bhagats other books. There is a photo of a real girl in the cover. The first impression from the cover is clear. This is also a romance book but with elements of mystery and tragic. There is no happy ending in the book this time.
The story follows the Gessler brothers, German shoemakers known for their high-quality handcrafted shoes. As big firms rise, the brothers face increasing competition but refuse to compromise on quality. When one brother dies, the surviving brother continues their craft but ultimately starves as the money goes to materials and rent. The narrator is shocked to discover the shop closed after the second brother's death, symbolizing the defeat of human values against growing materialism. The brothers' tragic deaths highlight the themes of sacrificing quality for quantity and whether machine production can replace artisanal skill.

New Historicism A Historical Aanalysis of LiteratureKaushal Desai
油
New Historicism acknowledges that any criticism of a work is influenced by the critic's own background and beliefs. New Historicists examine both the text and their own perspectives. This approach considers elements outside the text, unlike New Criticism which focuses only on analyzing the text itself. New Historicism emerged in response to New Criticism's failure to account for the social and historical context that influenced literary works. It uses techniques from history and anthropology to provide thick descriptions of texts and elucidate them within their broader cultural context.
