Essay Progress

One of the key issues that I must work on are grammatical. Spelling errors and comma errors appear in both my heart of darkness and Hamlet essays. Also within both essays I need to keep quality consistent and provide good examples throughout the essay. I tend to under develop some ideas while developing others quite well. I tend to cut my analysis short in many places and in my HOD essay I could have delved much deeper into Freudian analysis of WWII and of HOD and trying to relate the two.

In this section of the novel, Gregor has been unable to calm the manager who left and then he was hurriedly harassed by his father back into his room where he was to remain from now on. They barakaded the door and locked the key to prevent any hope of Gregor escaping. His sister would left him a bowl of milk and bread the first night, which Gregor did not eat. In the morning his sister brought him a selection of foods of water for him to see what he would prefer. His sister shows true compassion for him regardless of his new form.

HOD Introduction

"The horror, the horror." These words uttered by Mr. Kurtz in Heart of Darkness could have easily been written down in a World War soldier 's diary. Heart of Darkness eerily foreshadows both of the upcoming great wars with the atrocities in Africa providing a mirror for those soon to take place in Europe. Both the novel and the wars depict an 'enlightened' Europe that claims to bring the advance knowledge and civility to society but at the same time can brutally slaughter their own people. And reveal a society that fails to admit to itself the truth of its brutality.
