Chekhov always felt that he missed out on childhood. It was a very hard lifeand it may have contributed to his poor health: he succumbed later on to the"family disease", tuberculosis, which led to his early death at the age of 44.His mother was a quiet, gentle soul who was full of stories of her early life. In later years, Chekhov would say that "we inherited our talent from our father,but mother gave us soul". The other great passion of his formative years was nature, the Russiancountryside. As a port, Taganrog was surrounded on all sides by the landscapes of the Steppe and Chekhov's earliest stories reveal how intensely aware he was of his bond with the Don Steppe. Chekhov had always claimed that medicine was his wife and literature his mistress. Chekhov had lived for much of his career as a writer under the shadow of the great literary colossus of the age, Lev Tolstoy. The Seagull [Chaika] suffered one of the most disastrous first nights of any of

The great Enlighteners: Crèvecoeur, Jefferson, Paine, Franklin. The American Enlightenment is the intellectual thriving period in the United States in the midtolate 18th century (17151789), especially as it relates to American Revolution on the one hand and the European Enlightenment on the other. Influenced by the scientific revolution of the 17th century and the humanist period during the Renaissance, the Enlightenment took scientific reasoning and applied it to human nature, society, and religion. American Enlightenment a gradual but powerful awakening that established the ideals of democracy, liberty, and religious tolerance in the people of America. If there were just one development that directly caused the American Revolution and uplifted the intellectual culture of the continent while it was only a British colony, it would be the American Enlightenment. Broadly, the Enlightenment was an intellectual movement that changed the fundamental
Wodehouse's aristocrats, however, embody many of the comic attributes that characterize buffoons created by a genius. In many cases the classic eccentricities of Wodehouse's upperclass give rise to plot complications. Relatives, especially aunts and uncles, are commonly depicted with an exaggerated power to help or impede marriage or financial prospects, or simply to make life miserable. Friends are often more a trouble than a comfort in Wodehouse stories: the main character is typically being placed in a most painful situation just to please a friend. Antagonists (particularly rivals in love) are frequently terrifying, and just as often get their come-uppance in a delicious fashion. Although his plots are on the surface formulaic, Wodehouse's genius lies in the tangled layers of comedic complications that the characters must endure to reach the invariable happy ending. Typically, a relative or friend makes some demand that
instead. Iago wounds Cassio back and runs away. Othello hears Cassio's cry, assuming that Iago has killed him. Lodovico and Gratiano enter to see what the commotion is about. Iago enters shortly thereafter and flies into a pretend rage as he discovers Cassio's assailant Rodrigo, whom he murders. Cassio is taken to have his wound dressed. Meanwhile, Othello stands over his sleeping wife in their bedchamber, preparing to kill her. Desdemona wakes asserting her innocence, but Othello ignores her.

Once Emilia tells him how she found the handkerchief and gave it to Iago, Othello is crushed and begins crying
still did not happen and Stoker used a lot folklore which makes the story even more interesting. And because of his simple writing that does not contain long a difficult senteneces and the ability to describe actions and people very accurate and interesting, it is very exciting to see what is going to happen next. Although the tale is very intriguing and well-written, it gets in some point a little tedious. For example, the entries are mostly written following the dates. One character writes two days and the next goes on with another two days. It is easy to follow and nothing goes missing, but there is a setting when four people are describing their day in their point of view, but this is pretty much the same as described by the first person. It will give the better picture of the climax but as said before, Stoker can write very clearly so it seemed for me little boring to write it over and over. In conclusion, it is a great book to read
" It is referred to as the conscience of Petersburg society. The final circle is the world of high society--balls, gowns and the fashionable elite. This sparkling group is led by Princess Betsy Tverskaya. Each circle, Tolstoy tells us, overlaps to some extent. "The highest Petersburg society is essentially one: in it everyone knows everyone else, everyone even visits everyone else." It becomes clear from the start that the princess is designed to be a mocked character. She is shallow, superficial and quite the gossip. She and her counterparts begin to talk about Anna and Vronsky. From what the Princess says, everyone knows that Anna and the count have some feelings for one another. Later on in the night, Anna and Vronsky both arrive at Betsy's, though separately. "Steps were heard at the door, and Princess Betsy, knowing it was Madame Karenina, glanced at Vronsky. He was looking toward the door, and his face wore a strange new expression

Both Byron's life and writings have been considered in different ways to exemplify the type. The Byronic hero first appears in Byron's semi autobiographical epic narrative poem Childe Harold's Pilgrimage Many of Byron's characters are a similar specific type of the Romantic hero: An idealised but flawed character with great talent and passion, a distaste for society, disrispect towards rank and privilege, arrogance, overconfidence, selfdistructiveness.
Darcy. He makes a proposal, but she rejects it. The next day he gives her a letter explaining his earlier behaviour. She then understands him perfectly and is upset that she had been so rude. Elizabeth returns home and as time goes by she gets to know him better and finally falls in love with him. In the end they marry and so does Jane with Mr. Bingley. Personal opinion I believe that Jane Austen tries to say that we should not judge the book by its cover and that we should look in the person's character deeper. I think that she has excellently achieved her purpose. The book is really well-written, the writing is effective and beautiful. She writes with great clarity and precision, and fills the dialogues with irony, making many characters reveal their foolishness to the reader through their ridiculous comments. Generally the characters are vivid and believable. The book is both humorous and deeply serious. Humour can be found everywhere in

He is stunned and mortified to be rejected. I think Elizabeth believed more the prejudice she had about Darcy and she did not believe at first that Darcy could be generous and even friendly and kind. The ending is really beautiful and I like it. Darcy proposes Elizabeth again and this time she accepts. They have a double wedding with joy and love. A major theme is the importance of environment and upbringing on the development of young people's character and morality. Social standing and wealth are not necessarily advantages. Pride and Prejudice, employs the narrative technique of free indirect speech. Austen invites the reader to follow events from Elizabeth's viewpoint, sharing her prejudices and misapprehensions and being surprised along with her when events prove these to be mistaken. In my oppinion, the book was really good and I liked it a lot. Though the language
All this encouraged the supposition that the unknown author of the poem was himself a bard of the ancient type portrayed within the poem (a lord's scoop). However, many people propose that the author could be Christian poet, perhaps a monk, versed not only in old native traditions, but also in the culture and literature of the Latin Church, and whose purpose of writing was highly moral. For example, the fate is a `providentia' and the monster Grendel is an embodiment of evil fighting against Christian militant. This contrast corresponds to the poem itself. The poet is looking back from his own Christian times to an old society with different customs and beliefs. The poem is set, as it is announced in the very first line: `in days gone by'. For instance, the poet and his fellow Christians who can know that Grendel belongs to the race of monsters descended from Cain. For the Danish king he is the only a mysterious

The man got irritated and shouted her out of his house. The girl turned and walked out as if nothing had happened, the other children staring enviously at her. Just before the door she stopped and asked them without turning, "And for how long are you planning to be the Devil's dolls?"

He soon issued several others under his own name. In 1823, he published The Pioneers; this was the first of the Leatherstocking series, featuring Natty Bumppo, the resourceful American woodsman at home with the Delaware Indians and especially their chief Chingachgook. Cooper's most famous novel, Last of the Mohicans (1826), became one of the most widely read American novels of the nineteenth century. The book was written in a second-story storefront-apartment in Warrensburg, New York, just north of where most of the book's plot takes place. Washington Irving Washington Irving was born in New York City (near present-day Wall Street) at the end of the Revolutionary War on April 3, 1783.

Irving had many interests including writing, architecture and landscape design, traveling, and diplomacy
Park is let at last?" Mr. Bennet replied that he had not. "But it is," returned she; "for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it." Mr. Bennet made no answer. "Do you not want to know who has taken it?" cried his wife impatiently. "You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it." This was invitation enough. "Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of England; that he came down on Monday in a chaise and four to see the place, and was so much delighted with it, that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to take possession before Michaelmas, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week." "What is his name?" "Bingley." "Is he married or single?" "Oh! Single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!" "How so

The eyebrows flickered. "McAllister ... Angus ... " said Lord Emsworth in a low voice. "Come back! The pumpkin needs you." Lord Emsworth is the protagonist in the book. His full title is Clarence Threepwood, 9th Earl of Emsworth, and Viscount Bosham. His character is kind, but a bit absent- minded. Throughout the book many of the actions and situations are related with him, some more, some less. He most likes being alone and either walking in the garden or reading a book in the library. Also, he does not stand one bit his son Freddie staying at the castle and is willing to do much to get rid of him. Throughout the book, he often gets into funny situations (Quotes 1,2).

novel when the Anglo-French relationships were at their worst during the Iraq War spring 2003. Therefore his novels (he has written three in this series) have become enormously popular all around the world, especially because they are partly true. Stephen Clarke himself still lives in Paris with his French girlfriend. This novel is considered to be seriously funny and a comedy with a message. "Merde Actually" has one main character whose name is Paul West, but there are also many other significant characters, that come from the previous book "A Year in the Merde". I can say that it would be better to read the first book of this series first, other wise some jokes and thoughts might stay incomprehensible. This novel starts with a description of how and where Paul West is going with his girlfriend Florence. As known, in France, the summer holidays are quite long for working class; therefore a lot can be done

Even the small ideas make a change. The main part in a story, the one that seemingly makes the impact, who guides the consumer through its change, is the protagonist. The development in the reader or the watcher happens through the transformation of the hero. Usually the main character starts off as an outcast, somebody the society sees as unimportant or too strange. Then something happens that sends the hero on an adventure. The breaking point on his road is meeting a teacher an encounter that gives him the ability to face the adversary of the story. In the end the hero faces his villain, emerges a winner, detaches himself from his outcast status and becomes a significant part of the society.
