I would suggest the many versions of King Arthur, I wrote a paper on that once. You could start with the version by Mallory and work your way into the others.

Hmm I think it could be OK to categorise them as "modern fabels" (maybe) since they are stories where anmals are used as allegories to human behavior. They mostly seem to have some moral issue as...
To deconstruct a text (the way I understand the theory) is to define the oppositions in the text such as: inside/outside, mind/body, literal/metaphorical, speech/writing, nature/culture and so on....
another hint for you: http://www.ancestorinfo.com/norwegian_lutheran_pastors_1927.htm
Oh just thought of something else.
It seems that it is a new print of some older work. This could explain the errors. I think it has been copied of some older book which might have been print with...
I think it could be both Danish or Norwegian (The differens isn't that big) but most likely it is danish.
However there are a lot of mistakes in the language, are you sure you typed it wright?

I always felt that there is a hughe hint in the title "The Stranger". I think this makes the book a comment on our (or Camus') society. Is this the way all the rules and laws would be seen, if...
I don't believe that it could have been Marx even though I'm pretty sure he thought it. I've never heard that Salinger should be involved in any of this before, but ofcourse that doesn't mean that it...
Oh Sorry, missed the second quote. I think that should go like this:
"It is not our task to come closer to each other, just as little as it is the task of the sun and the moon to come together.
Our...
Neither German nor English are my first language, but I would translate it this way:
"We demand that life
must have a meaning - but it has only
as much meaning as we
are ourselves able to give to...
Well. It takes place in Verona, but when I don't know. However, the prologue is written in pressent tence, and Shakespeare probably wrote it in 1594 or 1595, so that's a guess.
I believe I once read a book called "What is literature and what is it good for", but I can't remember the author.
Otherwise I think you might find some answers in "Literary Theory - a very short...
Sadly enough, Barbara Cartland wrote 723 books
First of all: Eerh... what was the focus on before 1750 if not poems, novels and plays???
But anyway I think it lies in the question asked, that the answer could have something to do with...
well Sam Shepard "The Holy Ghostly" could be something, Or at least a passage from it, or maybe "Waiting for Godot" by Becket.
Both of these plays have the advantage for you, that there isn't much...
Oh yeah!
There is an old comedy by Aristophanes called "the birds", haven't read it though.
I haven't been able to find anything specifically about canaries. But if you broaden the search to birds in general, there are a lot more answers.
Birds can signifie the human soul, as it does in...
It is indeed a good read.
Somehow I think it's is only in USA and maybe France that it is an ignored classic. but anyway he really has got a way with words. even though I found it a bit long at...
I think symbols are used i different ways in literature -as well as in life, so there is no easy answer to your question.
In some forms of fiction symbols are used as a way of showing emotions or...

M. H. Abrams: "A Glossary of Literary Terms"
I think it is an interesting subject as well.
I Think you could be right in asuming that the mirror is there to show the dualism between good and evil.
It couldd be, that it has to do with...
it might also be the case that the answer you are looking for is just: Poetry, Drama (theatre) and novels
The point of most literary theories isn't really to make reading easier, but to find a general way of understanding the art. However you can read some other readings or studies of a certain book,...
isn't all of this just one way of looking at the critics job. It seems to me that it is a rather psycological approach, by which I mean that what you then find is something "hidden" in the text which...
