| | English Literary Themes Courses |
 | | Themes within these two texts involving the concepts of free will and destiny are explored and then compared to two twentieth century novels. | | | This course is an introduction to the traditional use of literary imagery and metaphor, using patterns based upon natural cycles of the sun, moon, seasons and human and vegetation growth. | | | The novel is a literary form capable of representing both the intimate details of private life, and the events and circumstances of history. |

| | Iranica.com - GOL O BOLBOL |
| | The origins of this theme may be traced to the beginnings of Persian manuscript illustration in the 14th century, where the rose fi;rst appears as a discrete motif and a landscape element utilized in the illustration of epic and lyrical texts during the reign of the Il-khanids (1256-1353). | | | The use of this theme as a metaphor for spiritual and earthly love by Persian poets in epic and romance, lyrical and mystical works for nearly one thousand years attests to its deep signifi;cance in Persian culture. | | | The theme of the rose in Persian mystical poetry has been the subject of detailed investigation since the beginnings of Orientalist studies in Europe in the late 18th century, and poets such as Goethe (q.v.) and Rilke have been inspired by their Persian counterparts. |

| | The Practice and Theory of Canadian Thematic Criticism |
| | This conception of literary theme was author-centred: theme was the principle by which a work had been organized or the axis along which it was developed. | | | Atwood develops her thesis that victimization is a characteristic theme of Canadian literature by ignoring its ubiquity in contemporary world literature. | | | By the middle ages, 'theme' had also come to mean the scriptural text on which a sermon was founded (as it does for Chaucer's Pardoner, who says, 'My theme is alwey oon, and evere was - / Radix malorum est Cupiditas'). |

| | Theme in Literary Fiction |
| | The Old Testament has a theme, that theme being God's love for His chosen people; the ancient epic Gilgamesh has a theme, namely, the impermanence of life. | | | In his attempt to define a standard of good literature, the Greek philosopher Aristotle required a hero of epic proportions -- a king, for example, "famous, or prosperous, like Oedipus, Thyestes, and the noted men of such families" -- for the grandeur of the story could accept nothing less. | | | It gives a reason for telling this story aside from sheer entertainment value, and a reason for remembering it; optimally, it validates our experience. |

| | Literary Elements: Lecture Outline |
| | The literary quality of a fictional book is based not upon its popularity or the ease with which it can be read, but upon the quality of the literary elements found in the book. | | | Themes can be applied to the reader's own life or to other literature. | | | A book's theme must be described in universal terms, not in terms of the plot. |

| | Critical Analysis |
| | Analysis of poetry usually means to show how a poet's theme is accomplished through the use of poetic devices or poetic forms or other literary elements such as symbolism or irony. | | | Through his masterful use of the expressive and literary purposes and comparison/contrast, Twain clearly describes how his gaining of knowledge of the ways of the river help him become a better steamboat pilot. | | | Contrary to the marvelous sights he witnesses as a young man, his later reporting of the same sights is very matter of fact and without the obvious tinge of wonder. |

| | The epidemic is a recurring theme in literary history |
| | Camus’ narrator chronicles the spread of a plague that attacks the city of Oran and the community’s resistance against this evil. | | | The epidemic is a recurring theme with a long tradition in literary history of which Albert Camus’ The Plague is probably twentieth century’s best known example. | | | By comparing the insistence of the epidemic in literature, it would seem that patterns and events repeat themselves or perhaps that returning to eschatological questions is characteristic of writing at the end of a millennium. |

| | It is a fundamental fact of the literary reality as manifested in the course of history that literary or poetic 'themes' are those that were traditionally transmitted from one generation to the next. | | | Basically, this approach was employed not only by literary scholars but also by folklorists such as Propp (in his Morphology of the Folktale),(50) who examined the fullfledged narrative formulae underlying Afanasev's collection of Russian tales, from which he elicited the scheme of functions they have in common. | | | The first and the second parts of this book were ordered chronologically; the other parts were arranged in a mixed order, either by genre (folk tales, riddles, fables and aphorisms) or by theme (within well-defined boundaries, such as the grouping of "Stories of Elijah the Prophet" or within diffused boundaries, such as "Wisdom Tales"). |

| | Literary Humor: Ha versus Blah |
| | The book alternates between developing a theme, which gives it literary significance, and comedy, which makes it far more appealing to the average person. | | | In each of the three works, theme seems to become less important as humour becomes more important. | | | Any individual line, stanza, or fit can be assigned some kind of significance if enough effort is taken, but when considered with the rest of the poem, no overall moral or theme seems to evolve. |

| | Brooks is making the theme obvious to the reader by ending the poem with the line: "We/Die soon." With that in mind, the title is ironic. | | | Like a detective at a crime scene, you must first consider what the author has presented as clues to his or her overall theme. | | | We can see that Brooks has written a great poem because so much meaning can be derived from the few lines she presents. |

| | Scanderbeg (Kastriota) and the development of a literary theme |
| | His life story was sufficiently heroic to furnish a theme for epic poetry; with some unhistoric sentimental accretion, he was ready to play a role in novel and drama. | | | Such familiarity no doubt resulted from knowledge of the chronicles and histories, since the single literary use of the Scanderbeg theme in Elizabethan times seems not to have exerted much influence on the public mind. | | | The title of this now lost work, The true hist or ye of George Scanderbarge, "as yt was lately played by the right honorable the Earl of Oxenfofd his servantes," was entered in the Stationers' Register on July 3, 1601, but there is no rec¬ord of its having been printed nor is the author known. |

| | Sex As A Literary Theme |
| | And the muse is female, as every poet who invokes her knows, though only Whitman suggests that they make love--just as he outrages many by intimating that he is God. | | | He seemed to know what most people even today are unwilling to admit, that we are all, as in Freud's formulation, bisexual and hence capable of imagining and describing every form and variety of sex, including those like prostitution and other "perversions," which still shock bourgeois sensibilities. | | | Under the circumstances we should recognize Whitman's intention to use sex as a literary theme and not indulge in banal reductions of his thought. |

| | Objective for this Page: To define "theme" in literary works and to consider the theme of Trifles. | | | Theme is generally defined as the main point or central argument of a literary work, but in many works--perhaps in most works--there is more than a single theme. | | | In literature, themes are seldom "messages" or "lessons." A literary work obviously written to teach a lesson is considered didactic, a term that implies inferiority (although fables and parables are an exception--their purpose is to convey a lesson). |
