The creation of fictional worlds in the two short story cycles "Dubliners" and "Our Village"
Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,0, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, language: English, abstract: This term paper seeks to explore the creation of fictional worlds in the two short story cycles Dubliners and Our Village. Naturally, it requires a lot of effort to analyze world-making in a literary text: there are so many criteria that need to be examined. But despite these difficulties, I still venture to take a deeper look at the different modes of fictionality, because I believe that such an inquiry will help us discover the operation principles of world-making. And due to their collaged variety of world view...

Northern irish History
Essay from the year 2014 in the subject History - Basics, grade: 1,5, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, language: English, abstract: In order to fully understand the Troubles in Northern Ireland, we must go back as far as 1688. When William of Orange arrived in England to claim the crown, the former king, James II, fled to Ireland where Catholicism was still dominant. There he organized an army with which he wanted to regain “his” throne. However, was defeated by William in the Battle of the Boyne and Protestantism began to gain the mastery. By the beginning of the 18th century the Protestants already owned 90% of the land even though they were a minority in numbers. The Penal Laws, which were introduced between 1695 and 1728 then secured the Protestants even more powers and achieved to suppress the Catholic majority: Catholics now could only receive very limited education and were neither allowed to buy land nor to hold any public position. In the end, they even lost their voting rights.
America and the World after 9/11: A Constructivist Analysis of the Decision to Go to War in Iraq
Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Politics - General and Theories of International Politics, grade: 1,0, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, language: English, abstract: This paper will look at the Iraq War, the most important operation in the Global War on Terror, under the “magnifying glass” of constructivism: the invasion of Iraq was a protracted armed conflict that escaped international standards of war-making. Why should the US risk regional stability through a belated intervention? Why should they incur the enormous humanitarian, economic, and military costs connected with a preventive war that lacked legitimacy under international law and, thus, was very likely to d...
Building a city with words. Multi-perspective storybuilding in Colson Whitehead's "The Colossus of New York"
Essay from the year 2018 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, University of Frankfurt (Main), language: English, abstract: One might consist that there are as many different versions of New York, as there are people who have laid eyes upon its steel pillars. Some focus more on the promising varieties, while others rather pay attention to the desperate, violent side of the city that lurks underneath the shiny surface of “post-card perfect America”. But if one searches close enough, there is always a unifying commonality that links “the subjective perceptions of the countless people who experience it”. This unifying identity to a variety of c...
The Question of Naturalism in George Moore's "Esther Waters"
Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Comparative Literature, grade: 1,0, University of Frankfurt (Main) (AVL), language: English, abstract: Since our very beginnings as a species, the human mind has always loved systems and structures because they help us to gain a clearer view of the deeper meanings behind our experiences. We use indices to chart plants and their uses, official classifications to guide our cohabitation, lists to organize and store data, schedules to control our workflow, and schematic diagrams to proffer detailed and in-depth explanation for certain concepts we want to transmit to other people. In short, there seem to be no practical data that cannot be edited and then published in the form of a directory or site map. And, of course, we have also used these structures to compile and collate information around topics of a more ideational type such as literature or music.
"The Beast with Two Backs". Race and Racism in Shakespeare's "Othello"
Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, language: English, abstract: This term paper seeks to dislocate traces of racism within the characters of Iago, Othello, and Desdemona in Shakespeare's "Othello". By scrutinizing both overt and covert forms of xenophobia, it tries to explain how and why the play came to its tragic ending. In 1994, Nelson Mandela wrote in his autobiography that "no one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion" and that, consequently, "people must learn to hate". By itself, this is a simple statement but ...
"Proto-Novels". A comparison of John Bunyan's "The Pilgrim's Progress" and Aphra Behn's "Oroonoko"
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Didaktik für das Fach Englisch - Literatur, Werke, Note: 1,0, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: The novel as a form of creation has never been a fixed medium. From the time of its first emergence onwards, it has always been in a state of continual change and oscillation. In the 17th century especially, when the early "novelists" made serious efforts to distinguish their writings from antecedent forms of literature, there were a large number of experiment[s] in the infancy of the novel, which brought new narrative possibilities in general and an enriched conceptualization of "the story" in particular. This term paper seeks to explore the various elements that make proto-novels stand out from earlier types of writing. To read a novel and to recognize the narrative strategies within its word flow is to really understand what makes the text work. And since a comparison with other writings of its time and epoch can substantially increase the comprehension and appreciation of a given text, the two "proto-novels" of John Bunyan’s "The Pilgrim’s Progress" and Aphra Behn’s "Oroonoko" will are contrasted.
The Dualism of Ecocentrism and Anthropocentrism in T.C. Boyle’s "A Friend of the Earth"
Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, language: English, abstract: Since our very beginnings as a species, we human beings have always struggled to improve the painful conditions of our existence. But, as we discovered more technologies which helped us live safer lives, this strive for well-being and progress has also led us further and further away from our natural origins, until we have almost found ourselves at war with the Earth, our home planet. It is only in recent years, that we have come to realize how much we have already denuded the earth of its natural resources. Since the first environmental...
Variety of love in Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night"
Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, language: English, abstract: Many modern critics, among them T.S. Eliot and Hugh Grady, focus on Shakespeare's role as avant-gardist and precursor of modern literature. Thus, most of their critical notices are concerned with Shakespeare's influence on literature, theatre, and language. One particularly frequently chosen subject is the assessment of his various contributions to English culture and, concomitantly, the examination of new standards Shakespeare has set. Last but not least, they elucidate his role as a preeminent model, when dissect...
