1850.16924 The Role of Family in Romeo and Juliet, and The Taming of the Shrew
Shakespeare treats families throughout his plays as the center of action ? it is often that family members causes each other the greatest amount of pain and the greatest joy. In his tragedies, it is family, almost universally, that either by direct action (Hamlet), inaction (Richard III), or insinuation (Othello), hands the protagonist their great defeat. In Romeo and Juliet, the families of the eponymous characters bring tragedy to their children in all three manners. Romeo, the youngest son of the Montague family, and Juliet, the youngest daughter of the Capulet family, are victims of their families? pride and of a feud with no identifiable beginning, and no purpose for continuing. In The Taming of the Shrew, the rules of family, that the oldest daughter be married before the next, and that the wife is the property of the husband, come into play and direct much of the comedy. In both, playing to or against the rules results in different effects, and demonstrates that Shakespeare had a firm grasp upon the real power and meaning of family in both metaphor and reality.

1851.16932 Attitudes Towards Fathers in Three 20th-Century Poems
This paper examines in detail three poems about fathers by three 20th century poets: ?Bored? by Margaret Atwood, ?Those Winter Sundays? by Robert Hayden and ?My Papa?s Waltz? by Theodore Roethke. The paper illuminates similarities between the three poems, in that the child is depicted as passive, and the father as active but not necessarily expressive. The attitude towards fathers in these poems is one of unquestionable devotion, but also of regret that the time spent could not have, somehow, been better.

1852.16941 Urban Americans and Rural Americans: A Brief Overview of the Small Town/Big City Divide in American Literature
This 3-page undergraduate essay provides a synthetic account of the role played by the small town/big city opposition in the history of American Literature. Focussing particularly on the prose works of the period 1915-1945, this essay considers the ways that towns and cities have been used symbolically in American literature. Towns have been associated with the past, family, tradition, and entrapment, while cities were used to represent opportunity, individualism, fragmentation, and danger. However, as this essay points out, this method of representation became more complex during the early twentieth century, as Americans moved increasingly into cities, making rural areas even more idealized. At the same time, the differences between the two changed, so that suburban and urban areas were modelled on some aspects of rural communities, while rural areas became more modernized and more connected to the big cities.

1853.16967 Finding Blame and Responsibility in Stephen King?s Carrie
From the opening salvo of ?You?re bleeding, you big dumb pudding,? (King 6) to the end ?the Congregational Church on Carlin Street is gone, swept away by fire? (178), Carrie is a novel about blame and responsibility and the dangers of too much of one, and too little of the other. Carrie, without a doubt, was a ?special? girl. While her talents happened to be of the telekinetic sort, they were talents nonetheless. An outcast from her social circles, the child of a single, quite insane, religiously zealous mother, Carrie had very little in the way of tools needed to deal with the kind of horrors that would be inflicted upon her by the girls and boys of her school. Some might say that she was a target, that she brought the storm of teasing and torture on herself by sheer power of her ?weirdness?. But, it might be more accurate to say that the destruction of the school, the death of all those children and adults, and the near destruction of the town came about because no-one took responsibility for their own actions, and everyone pointed their finger of blame to someone else.
