Sean O’Casey’s Dublin Trilogy travels through the Irish revolutionary period and explores how this environment created a revolutionary Dublin where armed militants struggled to overthrow the authority and privileges of their British oppressors. Seeking to remove the colonial authority that had oppressed the Dublin population for so long, these revolutionaries fought, killed, and died in their quest for an independent Ireland. In this struggle, groups of armed men can be seen employing tactics...
Show moreSean O’Casey’s Dublin Trilogy travels through the Irish revolutionary period and explores how this environment created a revolutionary Dublin where armed militants struggled to overthrow the authority and privileges of their British oppressors. Seeking to remove the colonial authority that had oppressed the Dublin population for so long, these revolutionaries fought, killed, and died in their quest for an independent Ireland. In this struggle, groups of armed men can be seen employing tactics that would only lead to the continued oppression of other sections of the Irish population. By connecting the Dublin Trilogy to his autobiographies, in which he highlights the importance of family as a supportive unit for the Dublin poor, I propose that O’Casey, in the Dublin Trilogy, warns that these ideological reproductions would eventually lead to the continued subjugation of Irish women and other members of the Irish population outside of the masculinist, militant identity supporting the Irish independence struggle.

- Dante's influence on Shelley's Prometheus Unbound.

- Abstract/Description

Although the critic C. S. Lewis observes there is an allusive relationship between the final cantos of Dante‟s Purgatory and the third act of Shelley‟s Prometheus Unbound, no detailed analysis of Dante‟s language in Purgatory XXX and XXXI as a specific influence on Shelley‟s construction of imaginary realms in Acts II and III of the lyrical drama Prometheus Unbound exists. In this study, I will show how Shelley borrows from Dante‟s language in Purgatory XXX and XXXI, especially Dante‟s...

Lewis observes there is an allusive relationship between the final cantos of Dante‟s Purgatory and the third act of Shelley‟s Prometheus Unbound, no detailed analysis of Dante‟s language in Purgatory XXX and XXXI as a specific influence on Shelley‟s construction of imaginary realms in Acts II and III of the lyrical drama Prometheus Unbound exists. In this study, I will show how Shelley borrows from Dante‟s language in Purgatory XXX and XXXI, especially Dante‟s preoccupation with the cold as a form of punishment, to create the feeling of oppression and then liberation, in Acts II and III, respectively, of Prometheus Unbound to aid Shelley in his construction of imaginary realms. Shelley also uses Dantean allusions from Paradise, specifically Dante‟s descriptions of light and music, to help him create a feeling of joy and liberation as he creates a paradise on earth in Act IV of Prometheus Unbound.

- Tolkien and Bakhtin: Chronotope, Existence, and Reality.

Space (topos) as one of the main categories in modem literary criticism helps to discover and study unique aspects of the narrative such as functioning of archetypes, reflection of historical reality in the text, and different types of artistic consciousness (mythological and "realistic"). This work is a first study of time and space in Tolkien's trilogy The Lord of the Rings with the help of the chronotope concept proposed by Mikhail Bakhtin.

Show moreSpace (topos) as one of the main categories in modem literary criticism helps to discover and study unique aspects of the narrative such as functioning of archetypes, reflection of historical reality in the text, and different types of artistic consciousness (mythological and "realistic"). This work is a first study of time and space in Tolkien's trilogy The Lord of the Rings with the help of the chronotope concept proposed by Mikhail Bakhtin. A critic and author of an original literary concept and one of the most prominent representatives of the school of Russian formalism, Mikhail Bakhtin was also a contemporary of J. R. R. Tolkien who can be ranked among the most significant experimenters in the field of modem literature. Using Bakhtin's classification of spatio-temporal relations in the novel, I was able to identify a type of chronotope in Tolkien's major narrative as one close to mythological and epical chronotopes. In terms of this postulate, I explored methods Tolkien used to create unique time and space of fantasy to make this experimental literary genre widely popular since the middle of the twentieth century onward.
