Satire as Subversion
This paper provides an in-depth stylistic analysis of Paul Beatty’s critically acclaimed novel, The Sellout (2015). Beatty’s narrative, set against the backdrop of a fictional town in Los Angeles, serves as a sharp satirical commentary on contemporary racial dynamics in the United States. Through an examination of the novel's linguistic choices, narrative techniques, and thematic concerns, this analysis reveals how Beatty employs a distinctive bl…
Shadows of Fear and Madness
This paper explores the maturation of Gothic elements in 19th-century horror literature, with a comparative analysis of Victorian and American Gothic tales. Focusing on Charles Dickens's “The Signalman,” alongside other notable Victorian stories such as Margaret Oliphant's “The Open Door,’ John Polidori's “The Vampyre,” Charlotte Perkins Gilman's “The Yellow Wallpaper, ” and Oscar Wilde's “The Canterville Ghost, ” this study examines how Gothic m…
J.K. Rowling’s The Casual Vacancy
This research paper explores the thematic evolution in J.K. Rowling's body of work, with a focus on her standalone novel, The Casual Vacancy, in relation to her globally acclaimed Harry Potter series. While The Casual Vacancy overtly delves into mature themes of social inequality, politics, and community, this study posits that these themes are subtly yet consistently present in the Harry Potter series as well. Drawing contrasts and parallels, th…
Islamic teachings and religious brotherhood in the Islamic society
The Holy Qur’an relates believers’ pure emotions to brotherhood. From the perspective of Islam, it has been also affirmed that two people have the same thoughts and opinions in one centre point of love in brotherhood, so fraternal feelings are not merely limited to kinship and consanguinity. In this line, the Holy Qur’an states that we have come to make you brothers with each other; not a brotherhood from parents, but an Islamic one, which is hig…
From Sordid Sexuality to Ruin in T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land
Eliot’s poem, The Waste Land, in the wake of the Great War or the First World War, which was a time particularly in Western Europe when civilization had fallen to pieces, and it was literally, quite literally in ruin as trenches were dug across the fields of France and Belgium and other countries in Western Europe and as the landscape itself is torn apart, finds only death and self-destruction instead of rebirth or any sense of revivification or …
The Veil
This study inspects controversies in the Western World about the veil worn by Muslim women in public. It merges two separate domains, Islamic Feminism and Western Feminism. These two domains need to be addressed to generate new opinions. Western Feminism believes that veil is a sign of oppression and masculinity. However, Islamic Feminists find the veil empowering and a sign of dignity. This study aims to unravel the underlying contradictions and…
From Minimalism to the Absurd
Waiting for Godot ushered in an era of Absurd drama that drew on not only modern thought about life but also the modern image of life. Samuel Beckett, unlike Sartre and Camus as playwrights, stripped the façade of the modern existence and laid bare the scene with the minimum in its real image. To project such a stark condition of human experience Beckett chose to present us the maximum with “mere-most minimum.” The message in Godot appears to be …
Sylvia Plath, the Well-Bred Malaise, and its Confession in ‘Daddy’
Writing confessional lyrics, which are highly subjective and intensely personal, needs an extraordinarily sensitive mind that tends to break down while systematically probing that narrow and violent area of experience between the viable and the impossible, transmuted into poetry. This was Plath's "way of ordering and reordering the chaos of experience." Plath's neurosis led her to commit suicide at the age of thirty-one, and since then critics ha…
