/The Aspect of Phenomenology for Every Character/
Shakespeare is the most famous playwright and poet and Hamlet was masterfully written by him in the golden era of Elizabethan theatre. The play begins with the murder of Hamlet’s father. Throughout the play, the main purpose of characters is to revenge each other. Meanwhile, we can observe the thoughts and behaviour of the characters.
First of all, we can analyze the behaviours of his family and his relatives after Hamlet’s father is killed by Claudius. Hamlet is the one who deeply feels the sorrow of his death and even therefore he doesn’t like Denmark. We can clearly understand his thoughts in this quotation:“nor customary suits of solemn black, nor windy suspiration of forced breath, no nor the fruitful river I the eye, nor the dejected havior of the visage, together with all forms, moods, shapes of grief that can denote me truly: these indeed seem.” In addition, Queen Gertrude, Hamlet’s mother, is sad of the death of her husband, but she is not so deeply affected. In this quotation, she tells her son that “Thou know’st tis common; all that lives must die, passing trough nature to eternity.” Moreover, Claudius who is King of Denmark is the murderer of Hamlet’s father. He pretends to be upset because nobody knows he is the killer of his brother. He wears a mask and he says that death is normal and that being in too much sorrow is coming against God.
Secondly, we can discuss the relationship between Hamlet and Ophelia who is the daughter of Polonius because everyone has different thoughts about them. They love each other and start spending time together. However, her father and brother worry about her youth and age so they warn about their relationship. Throughout the play, Hamlet thinks his father’s ghost and makes

Frankenstein and Marxist Theory
Frankenstein is written in the Regency Period when is between 1811 to 1820. The work was published in 1818 by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. The period is monarch of the Prince Regent who is King George III's son. The time plays an essential role in analyzing the work. Because Mary Shelley is inspired by the characteristic of the Romanticism Period in her work. This period emphasized individualism. Emotions, feelings, and senses are exceedingly significant for understanding the novel. In Frankenstein, the emotional distress of characters is intensely seen. Monster’s emotions states that 'All men hate the wretched; how then, must I be hated, who am miserable beyond all living things!’ (Shelley,83).
Frankenstein untitled The Modern Prometheus at the same time. As a second name, The Modern Prometheus is a meaningful choice. Both stories have related subtexts. Prometheus is the creator of mankind in greek mythology. So, there is both creator a living thing in both stories. Then he desires to give fire to mankind but Zeus does not accept it. Then he gives fire to men and Zeus is riled by this action. They are associated they both suffer from their decisions too. Frankenstein's era’s difficulty is capitalism and Prometheus time's problem is gods in his perspective. They both break natural order. Prometheus is tragically punished each day. Prometheus chained in a mountain and an eagle eats his liver every day . Clay is an indispensable part when two stories compared with each other. Prometheus generate men with clay. Surely, clay is an element of nature. It is unique that humanities created in nature. On the other hand,Victor originated the monster from dead bodies and it is the opposite of nature from the begginning of the story. Plus, the fire symbolized as electricity
John Barth is the most important postmodernist novelist and his works of art fiction and reality somehow is complicated. It becomes difficult to decide which one is real and which one is fiction. Blurring and uncertainty is so immense that sometimes it is problematic to understand what is happening and what is going on this story. In the story we have suspicions and questions. All the time, nothing is accepted, and we have a sceptical reading. Every concern and everything are sceptical, and we should not forget that the question is very important. Linda Hutcheon talks about self-reflexivity. Do nothing that we are pieces of reality. In fact, we are fictional. They all the time try to make us aware of being fictional. This progress is self-reflexivity of postmodernist works of art. Another word, it shows us through metafiction, through inflectional references, through parody and pastiche.
The author used mostly the techniques of metafiction. The author often comments on the narration and sometimes criticizes creation. While narrating the story, he starts to tell very unusual thing, or he starts to give some certain clues related to the techniques. So, all these things help you understand that be aware. This is not a sort of real thing. Do not get lost in the magical story. The other is playful language. Immitations of the language is one of the problems that postmodernist author criticizes. They try to challenge the limitations through playing with the languages. Pronunciations and the spelling of these words are somehow distorted. It shows “mock “this is the motto of postmodernism. Parody, fragmented narration, open ended closure, intertextual references, and uncertainty are the other concepts or techniques used in the novel. Open ended closure is sometimes subverted
Effects of “Marabar Caves” on modern man.
Throughout the years, human beings have developed new movements and ideas with the effects of wars, technological developments and mass changes. The beginning of modernism, which is the movement of the 20th century, is a period in which people question their place and purpose the most and that essential changes take place. Having become acquainted with colonization, capitalism, the theory of evolution, Einstein's theory of relativity and many other new concepts, mankind lost his purpose and faith with the effects of the Great War and atomic bomb. As a result of all this, man as an emotional being became a non-spiritual being. The rationality and aimlessness of modern man, especially western man, caused psychological problems and feeling lonely. Spiritual loneliness, alienation, feeling of emptiness and becoming indifference to surroundings are the basic problems of modern men. Although I am a person who believes in the power of knowledge, I can't ignore the spiritual positive effects of religions on people. On the other part of the world, people living in a way that depends on their traditions, live more moderately and conscientiously than England or other western countries. It is possible to say that the writers and poets of this period touched upon the existential crisis of modern men. In the A passage to India, besides the themes of racism and colonization, the themes of loneliness and spiritual collapse of the modern man are discussed. Marabar Caves is an excellent setting added to the novel by E. M. Forster to reflect these inner conflicts of man. Thinking as a reflection of human nature's incomprehensible sides, Caves' mysterious atmosphere makes them more complex to analyze.
First of all, in the beginning of the novel, Mrs. Moore and Adela are planning to see
THE BEAST AMONG US
Personality is a set of characteristics that the individual has and distinguishes the individual from others. In psychology, personality has been studied from many aspects and theories have been established on this subject. Sigmund Freud that forms the basis of all theories has been studied over the concepts of id, ego and superego that affect the behavior and preferences of the person. Carl Gustav Jung, a student of Freud, began to oppose Freud's views in later stages, often rejecting Freud's views. Today the purpose of this paper is to express the character of Henry Fleming, the main character of The Red Badge of Courage written by Stephen Crane, in the light of archetypes that display Jung's basic human behavior.
To achieve this goal, I have organized my paper into two sections. In the first section, I am going to mention about our main character Henry Fleming’s characteristic properties in Red Badge of Courage. In the second section, I will tell you Henry Fleming’s psychological complexity in the light of Carl Gustav Jung’s thoughts.
