Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Neuere Deutsche Literatur, Note: 1,0, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main (Institut für deutsche Literatur und ihre Didaktik), Veranstaltung: Novellen des poetischen Realismus, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Wahrn…ehmung des Unheimlichen variiert im subjektiven Empfinden jedes Menschen. Das erschwert eine einheitliche Definition. Unheimliches wirkt meist erschreckend oder angsterregend. Im Jahr 1919 veröffentlicht Sigmund Freud mit seinem Aufsatz Das Unheimliche eine der ersten Theorien diesbezüglich. Vor allem in der Epoche des Realismus werden zahlreiche Werke veröffentlicht, die unheimliche Aspekte beinhalten, beispielsweise Theodor Storms Novellen, in denen er mit geisterhaften, furchterregenden Erscheinungen und angsteinflößender Stimmung das Unheimliche heraufbeschwört.Theodor Storms Der Schimmelreiter (1888) ist eine charakteristische Novelle für die Epoche des Realismus. Die Novelle handelt von Hauke Haiens, der als Sohn eines nordfriesischen Bauern und Landvermessers aus einfachen Verhältnissen stammt und bereits als Kind von der Konstruktion von Deichformen fasziniert ist. Mit achtzehn Jahren beginnt der Protagonist seine Beschäftigung als Kleinknecht des Deichgrafen, zu dessen Tochter er sich hingezogen fühlt. Nach dem Tod des alten Deichgrafen, gibt seine Tochter ihre Verlobung bekannt und ermöglicht Hauke den gesellschaftlichen Aufstieg zum neuen Deichgrafen.In den kommenden Jahren steigt der Unmut der Bevölkerung. Einem Unbekannten kauft Hauke einen Schimmel ab, in dem die Dorfbewohner ein auferstandenes Pferdeskelett zu erkennen glauben. Nachdem Hauke die Opferung eines Hundes verbietet, wenden sich die Bauern endgültig gegen ihn. Als sich ein gewaltiger Sturm erhebt, reitet Hauke zum neuen Deich hinaus und verhindert, dass die Bauern, Peters Befehl folgend, diesen durchstechen. Nachdem der alte Deich unter dem Unwetter bricht, wird das Dorf überflutet und auch Elke und die gemeinsame Tochter sterben. Hauke, überzeugt von seiner Schuld und Unfähigkeit, stürzt sich und seinen Schimmel ins Meer. Der Schulmeister beendet seine Erzählung mit dem Lob des Hauke-Haien-Deichs, der nun seit über hundert Jahren standhält. Am darauffolgenden Tag reitet der Reisende über den Deich.Diese Arbeit will belegen, dass Theodor Storms Novelle Situationen und Motive aufgreift, die auch nach Sigmund Freuds Theorie als unheimlich definiert werden können. Dazu werden zuerst Theorie und Historie von Novellen und Realismus beleuchtet, danach wird Freuds Definition des Unheimlichen erläutert, die dann auf das Unheimliche der Natur, der Nacht sowie des Übernatürlichen und des Aberglaubens in Der Schimmelreiter bezogen wird. 24 pp. Deutsch.

The fictional biography guides the reader through the protagonist's daily life, while simultaneously showing that his life is not daily at all. The author provided a balance within Orlando's nature by creating a character the reader can, on one hand, relate to, but who, on the other hand, is special and therefore appears different. With contacts to the Bloomsbury Group, Woolf had the possibility to write her critical and controversial works in an encouraging environment.

It is told from the perspective of Stevens, an elderly head butler, who, during a six- day road trip to England's West Country, reflects on his past at the country mansion Darlington Hall. He dedicated his life to serving Lord Darlington, a labelled traitor and Nazi sympathizer, and to the task of being a 'great' butler. Shortly after the war, Mr Farraday, an American purchases the estate and minimizes the staff drastically. Under him, Darlington Hall is no longer the meeting point for 'the wealthy and influential'.

The poet is well known for making use of the Elizabethan gender stereotypes in his plays, at times supporting them, but frequently choosing to bend and challenge them with his characters, as he does with Romeo and Juliet. Theirs is a story of two adolescents falling in love on first sight, as both come from long quarrelling families, the Capulets and the Montagues. Whilst this feud is often identified as the reason for the two lovers' cataclysmic end, other critical factors might be considered.Verona's society imposes strict gender expectations on both sexes: women are ideally moulded into well-behaved, pretty items of possession, never disagreeing with a man, whereas men are raised to exercise violence and dominance. Not only the stereotypes, but also, and in particular, Verona's family structure pressures the star-crossed lovers to obey their place in society, illustrated even more clearly for Juliet within the play. Romeo and Juliet constantly switch between challenging the rigorous expectations and questioning their own unconventionality. When their struggle seems increasingly hopeless, and they must bow to society's pressure, the tragedy unfolds.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, University of Frankfurt (Main) (Institut für Englisch- und Amerikastudien), course: Transcultural Crime Writing, language: English, ab…stract: This paper describes Kazui Ishiguro's Detective Christopher Banks and compares him to Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes.Crime fiction is one of the most successful, extensive and international genres of the late twentieth and the early twenty-first century. Detective fiction is very versatile, consisting of the whodunit, thriller, private eye and hard-boiled, just to name a few subgenres. In a detective story, the reader expects a crime as well as doubt about motive, means and perpetrator, provided with a fair trail of clues to investigate and solve the crime.Nineteenth-century detective fiction shed a light on the British Empire in a destabilising whilst at the same time reassuring way for national readers. England's aggressive authority and force were considered a frequent method of maintaining social control and were therefore often addressed by late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth-century writers. Detective stories were able to turn such obsolete aggression into a more contemporary, benign authority by offering detection as a possibility to avoid despotic representations of government authority.Modern British detective fiction tends to include transcultural perspectives. Today, writers use a variety of topics, sometimes even combined with ancient myths or tales in order to attract more readers at home and abroad. The British author Elly Griffiths, for example, set the plot of her novel Smoke and Mirrors in Brighton in 1951, where the bodies of two missing children, dubbed by the newspapers as 'Hansel and Gretel', were found, giving the story a fairy-tale touch.The Nobel Prize winning writer Kazuo Ishiguro also went back in time for his novel 'When We Were Orphans'. The author might not be the first coming to mind when thinking about detective fiction. In his novels, Ishiguro explores the topic of cultural identity.The novel is full of allusions to Sherlock Holmes. Small details and objects remind the reader of the iconic investigator and even characters in the book compare Holmes and Banks, who is impressed by Doyle's mysteries. As Barry Lewis claims, Ishiguro's protagonist may be investigating his past life 'with Holmes-like meticulousness'. Nevertheless, When We Were Orphans does not describe a detective as depicted in Doyle's Sherlock Holmes Stories. In Ishiguro's novel, the structure of the story, the detective's associates and the detective's character are presented differently and not in a Holmesian way.

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, University of Frankfurt (Main) (Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: Self-Conscious Commodities: Defoe's Women, language…: English, abstract: Natural law, throughout the seventeenth century, served as a touchstone for human beings as social and political animals, evolving into an ignitable mixture of moral and political doctrine and demanding the individual's rights of self-preservation and self-defence. The Catholic thinker Jean Gerson used the term 'state of nature' in the fifteenth century, followed by Hugo Grotius in the first half of the seventeenth century, though according to Richard Tuck, Thomas Hobbes was the first to coin it.Hobbes defined 'the state of meer Nature' as a condition of constant competition, where every man fights the other and each individual is entitled to everything by nature. This environment is exclusively governed by the laws of nature, which are rather inherent principles designed to ensure self-preservation. In this world without written laws, there is no justice, and everyone lives in fear and mistrust of the others.Born into the very same environment, in London's notorious Newgate Prison, as the illegitimate daughter of a thief, Moll Flanders seeks for a way to escape social misery all her life. Throughout the narration, she faces significant challenges but, despite numerous setbacks, continuously manages to defy her fate. This paper will shed light on the characters' 'state of meer Nature' on a social level with particular focus on the protagonist: their world is dominated by predators, the characters constantly struggle for self-preservation, and, in this fight for appropriation of property to secure survival, are situated in an equilibrium of threats.

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Bachelor Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, University of Frankfurt (Main) (Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik), language: English, abstract: This paper will shed light o…n the different construction of monsters used by Bram Stoker in Dracula and Robert Louis Stevenson in The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, mirroring contemporary fears and social circumstances: Although both monsters can be associated with the discourse of degeneration and consequently otherness and parasitism, Dracula functions as an external monster, while Hyde represents the monster from within.The faces of Gothic villains are prime examples for degenerate evil. Bram Stoker's Dracula and Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde both show the implementation of the fear of degeneration in Gothic literature. As Judith Halberstam claims, '[m]onsters are meaning machines', explaining that their bodies and behaviours function as symptoms of or a response to various cultural, historical, or political problems, including gender, class, race, nationality, and sexuality. She states that [m]onsters and the Gothic fiction that creates them are therefore technologies, narrative technologies that produce the perfect figure for negative identity. Monsters have to be everything the human is not and, in producing the negative of human, these novels make way for the invention of human as white, male, middle class, and heterosexual.

Bram Stoker's Dracula and Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde both show the implementation of the fear of degeneration in Gothic literature. As Judith Halberstam claims, '[m]onsters are meaning machines', explaining that their bodies and behaviours function as symptoms of or a response to various cultural, historical, or political problems, including gender, class, race, nationality, and sexuality. She states that [m]onsters and the Gothic fiction that creates them are therefore technologies, narrative technologies that produce the perfect figure for negative identity. Monsters have to be everything the human is not and, in producing the negative of human, these novels make way for the invention of human as white, male, middle class, and heterosexual. 48 pp. Englisch.

The fictional biography guides the reader through the protagonist¿s daily life, while simultaneously showing that his life is not daily at all. The author provided a balance within Orlandös nature by creating a character the reader can, on one hand, relate to, but who, on the other hand, is special and therefore appears different. With contacts to the Bloomsbury Group, Woolf had the possibility to write her critical and controversial works in an encouraging environment.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, University of Frankfurt (Main) (Institut für Englisch- und Amerikastudien), course: Transcultural Crime Writing, language:… English, abstract: This paper describes Kazui Ishiguro's Detective Christopher Banks and compares him to Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes.Crime fiction is one of the most successful, extensive and international genres of the late twentieth and the early twenty-first century. Detective fiction is very versatile, consisting of the whodunit, thriller, private eye and hard-boiled, just to name a few subgenres. In a detective story, the reader expects a crime as well as doubt about motive, means and perpetrator, provided with a fair trail of clues to investigate and solve the crime.Nineteenth-century detective fiction shed a light on the British Empire in a destabilising whilst at the same time reassuring way for national readers. England¿s aggressive authority and force were considered a frequent method of maintaining social control and were therefore often addressed by late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth-century writers. Detective stories were able to turn such obsolete aggression into a more contemporary, benign authority by offering detection as a possibility to avoid despotic representations of government authority.Modern British detective fiction tends to include transcultural perspectives. Today, writers use a variety of topics, sometimes even combined with ancient myths or tales in order to attract more readers at home and abroad. The British author Elly Griffiths, for example, set the plot of her novel Smoke and Mirrors in Brighton in 1951, where the bodies of two missing children, dubbed by the newspapers as ¿Hansel and Gretel¿, were found, giving the story a fairy-tale touch.The Nobel Prize winning writer Kazuo Ishiguro also went back in time for his novel 'When We Were Orphans'. The author might not be the first coming to mind when thinking about detective fiction. In his novels, Ishiguro explores the topic of cultural identity.The novel is full of allusions to Sherlock Holmes. Small details and objects remind the reader of the iconic investigator and even characters in the book compare Holmes and Banks, who is impressed by Doyle¿s mysteries. As Barry Lewis claims, Ishigurös protagonist may be investigating his past life ¿with Holmes-like meticulousness¿. Nevertheless, When We Were Orphans does not describe a detective as depicted in Doyle¿s Sherlock Holmes Stories. In Ishigurös novel, the structure of the story, the detective¿s associates and the detective¿s character are presented differently and not in a Holmesian way.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, University of Frankfurt (Main) (Institut für England und Amerikastudien), course: Romeo and Juliet, language: English, abs…tract: This paper will shed light on the fatal role the Veronese society plays in the deaths of Romeo and Juliet: it imposes strict gender expectations on them, provides a framework for the patriarchal family structure, and forces the star-crossed loveres into obedience.William Shakespeare lived in a patriarchal environment, dominated and controlled by men, be they husbands or fathers, with women serving as commodities to be traded in matrimonial business transactions between men. The poet is well known for making use of the Elizabethan gender stereotypes in his plays, at times supporting them, but frequently choosing to bend and challenge them with his characters, as he does with Romeo and Juliet. Theirs is a story of two adolescents falling in love on first sight, as both come from long quarrelling families, the Capulets and the Montagues. Whilst this feud is often identified as the reason for the two lovers¿ cataclysmic end, other critical factors might be considered.Veronäs society imposes strict gender expectations on both sexes: women are ideally moulded into well-behaved, pretty items of possession, never disagreeing with a man, whereas men are raised to exercise violence and dominance. Not only the stereotypes, but also, and in particular, Veronäs family structure pressures the star-crossed lovers to obey their place in society, illustrated even more clearly for Juliet within the play. Romeo and Juliet constantly switch between challenging the rigorous expectations and questioning their own unconventionality. When their struggle seems increasingly hopeless, and they must bow to society¿s pressure, the tragedy unfolds.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.
