Few artistic works that are considered shocking when they are first produced remain shocking for later generations ? in part no doubt because those later generations have their perceptions of what is shocking and what is ?normal? (or at least permissible) has been transformed by those very works of art. However, Vladimir Nabokov?s Lolita, almost a half-century after it was published, does have the power to disconcert us still, if not precisely to shock us. This paper examines the psychological characteristics and sexual behaviors of the two main characters in the novel, Humbert Humbert and Dolores Haze.

1878.20220 Bessie Head
It is often dangerous to draw close parallels between a writer?s life and her work: One of the reasons that people write, after all, is that fiction provides them with a chance to create an alternative world, a world in which things may be otherwise than they actually are. But in Bessie Head?s story ?Life? the direct connections between Head?s own life and her story (and characters) are hard to ignore or dismiss. Running through this story is a sense of isolation, of the many ways in which a person can be exiled, of the ways in which life itself can be seen as a kind of exile.

1879.20221 Across Borders of Time: Treatment of Love as a Theme in Shakespeare?s ?Sonnet 18
This 5-page undergraduate essay examines three authors? treatment of the theme of love across time. Specifically, this essay compares and contrasts the ways that Shakespeare?s ?Sonnet 18" (1609), Elizabeth Barrett Browning?s ?How Do I Love Thee?? (1850) and Denise Levertov?s ?Love Poem? (1978) negotiate the subject of love. This essay suggests that Barrett Browning?s and Shakespeare?s sonnets present a more rational and controlled depiction of love within contexts, while Levertov?s free verse poem depicts a vision of love which is allowed to include potentially controversial subjects, such as sexuality and religion. Barrett Browning?s Victorian poem concerns a listing of the possible ways to love someone, and ends with a declaration that love continues after death. Shakespeare?s Elizabethan sonnet considers comparing the love object to a summer?s day, but finds that such a comparison is problematic because of the changeability of summer. The poem concludes by noting that the speaker?s poem will immortalize the love object. Levertov?s poem uses suggests the things that the love object gives in their relationship. The three texts are obviously quite different in their treatments of their theme. All three love poems, however, suggest the links between love and nature, as well as love and transcendence.
