In this paper I analyze the way Chaucer's use of language helps to create meaning and multiple meanings in the Canterbury Tales. I look at The Knight's Tale, The Miller's Tale, The Wife of Bath's Tale, and, finally, The Nun's Priest's Tale. I select a short passage from each and unpack the ways the language Chaucer uses helps create the meaning in the tale.

1948.21348 A Brief Consideration of Some Issues Raised in Harper Lee?s To Kill a Mockingbird
This 9-page undergraduate paper answers three questions about Harper Lee?s novel To Kill a Mockingbird: ?Analyze Atticus? relationship with his children. Would you consider him a good father? Explain and cite examples?; ?Examine the character of Boo Radley in both a practical and symbolic sense. What role does he play in the development of plot? What does he signify beyond his role in the novel?? and ?Does Scout gain insight and mature during the courses of the novel? Explain why or why not?. Using the novel itself, this essay concludes that Atticus is in many ways a good father, although his contradictions and oversights threaten his children. This paper also argues that Boo acts as a catalyst for the plot, as a foil and doppelgänger for Scout, and as a symbol of the good and the bad in Maycomb society. Finally, this paper argues that Scout does develop in the course of the novel, which is evident from her increasing awareness of the inequity around her and from her mature and critical reaction to that inequity.

1950.21394 Motifs in John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath
John Steinbeck is known for being one of the greatest American novelists of the 20th century. And many literary minds consider The Grapes of Wrath to be his finest piece of long fiction. So what is all the hype about a novel that is nearly 70 years old and covers the topics of the dust bowl and great depression? It would seem as though the major themes of this novel would be a dead subject by now. After all, many of the great works of fiction and non-fiction alike covering topics as monumental and horrific as the Holocaust of World War II have fallen in recognition and they covered material much more intrinsic to an understanding of a time period than does Steinbeck?s novel. Even The Diary of Anne Frank, although a great and important piece of literature seems to have fallen in popularity. So, the question need be asked again- what is all the hype surrounding Steinbeck and his work, particularly The Grapes of Wrath? The answer lies, perhaps, what he says without being terribly overt in saying them. It is the kind of material that makes people think and think hard about their lives (Simmons, p.56). In short, his themes and motifs have worldwide implication outside of the printed page making this an important novel not just to the understanding of a time period in American history or an understanding of underlying American motivation that drove the 20th century onward, but for the understanding of intrinsic human motivations and the needs that burn inside everyone during rough times in which survival (financial and otherwise) may be difficult to obtain.

1951.21396 By the Sweat of Her Brow: Metaphor and Theme in Zora Neal Hurston's ?Sweat?
This 4-page graduate paper examines how theme is developed in Zora Neal Hurston's short story, ?Sweat? by metaphors. The development of the paper includes references to Delia's occupation, Snakes, the bullwhip Sykes uses to threaten Delia, attempted murder, Delia's consent to Sykes? of death, and the departure of the snake. This essay concludes that Hurston?s story draws heavily on metaphor in order to parallel the violence and tensions between men and women with the violence contained in Biblical texts. Much of Hurston?s text suggests Genesis in particular, drawing on the story of Adam and Eve to suggest the levels of violence and tension implicit between Delia and her husband. Drawing on imagery of snakes, murder, sweat, labour, and conflict, Hurston depicts violence - committed by both men and women against one another - as primordial, stemming from the onset of time. Rather than linking the violence to political tensions or cultural practices, Hurston suggests that violence and aggression between men and women stems from humanity?s earliest forebears.

1952.21399 Family in Hamlet
In Shakespeare?s Hamlet, lineage is as important an element as plot and character. Hamlet and Fortinbras, in particular, share a royal lineage that places exceptional responsibility upon their characters. Indeed, it is the precise nature of the various familial relationships within the play that create the intensity of feeling, tension, and tragedy. Hamlet himself is forced to be at the center of the action in the play distinctly because of family. How other characters interact with him, and the role they play in the ultimate end, are also dictated by family.
