Abstract:

This essay will analyse Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations from a conversion narrative perspective. It will show that the journey of the protagonist Pip have resemblances to the journey of Dante in Dante Alighieri’s The Divine Comedy. The reason for this is that Great Expectations is an equally clear example of a conversion narrative as The Divine Comedy. Both Pip and Dante meet sinners along their way, but the focus is on how the protagonists deal with their own sins. Pip goes through a typical conversion, where he goes from an avaricious, prodigal and proud person, to a man who values work

Abstract:

The purpose of this essay was to analyze the stereotypical images of women in Great Expectation by Charles Dickens and East Lynne by Ellen Wood, using feminist literary criticism as a theoretical perspective. The stereotypical images that were found were Cynthia Griffin Wolff’s sentimental stereotype, virtuous woman, the sensuous woman, and liberated woman; and Ferguson’s woman alone, submissive wife and the bitch. The virtuous woman, the submissive wife and the sentimental stereotype can all be seen as representations of the Victorian ideal, while the other stereotypes can be seen as represen

Abstract:

Pris dans les rouages de la révolution industrielle, l'objet dickensien est synonyme d'abondance. Cette profusion d'objets – qu'ils soient concrets ou diégétiques – permet au texte ses plus beaux excès et se prête à merveille au jeu de la collection et des listes, chères à Dickens. Les objets brillent de possibilités inouïes, bousculent l'ordre préétabli et en viennent à supplanter les personnages, souvent relégués au second plan. Le récit, réaliste, est incrusté de surnaturel et fait aussi bien allégeance à l'excès qu'à l'ordre qui en découlera. Les deux extrêmes oeuvrent donc à la réconcilia

In the course of it we have studied the first appearance of the urban subject, amazed by the new metropolitan surroundings that he finds himself in.

Abstract:

La fiction dickensienne met en scene ce qui permet l'avenement d'un sujet a l'ordre symbolique de la parole. La diegese des trois romans choisis illustre comment le desir vient s'articuler a la loi de l'interdit, lorsqu'un processus de substitution permet a l'innommable de se faire entendre a travers les rets du discours, regulant ainsi le rapport du sujet a l'objet du desir. Notre tache, en tantque lecteur, a consiste a etre a l'ecoute de cette parole venue d'ailleurs, d'etudier le travail d'un texte qui voile et devoile a la fois le desir qu'il tait et l'impuissance a le dire, tout en disant

Abstract:

This bachelor thesis will have its focus on Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. The central claim of this thesis is that in the novel Great Expectations, the protagonist Pip is used by Dickens as a metaphor for the British urbanization during the period of industrialisation. The literary theory that will help to analyse and prove this claim will be New Historicism. The central praxis of using non-literary historical documents and comparing them it to a literary text such as Great Expectations will be used in the discussion part of this thesis. As New Historicism tends to be unclearly

Abstract:

This thesis considers the colonial literary relationship between the ???centre??? and the ???margin??? in the field of post-colonial counter-discourse. As such, this thesis investigates the possibility of disrupting the dominance of Empire, which is often rhetorically constructed through the certainty of the parent and child binary relationship. By analysing the orphan???s affiliational associations, which exist beyond the traditional binary of parent and child in the colonial relationship, I argue that the orphan, as both figure and trope, becomes a site of resistance to the dominant colonial

Abstract:

The thesis aims to examine the phenomenon of retranslation as a socially situated activity. It provides an evidence-based approach to the practice of literary retranslation in Arabic-speaking countries, a cultural space that has not been examined thoroughly and systematically. This thesis goes beyond established research and compelements existing studies by highlighting the importance of ascertaining the details beyond theoretical issues related to retranslation using the support of textual, paratextual and contextual evidence from a comparative analysis of a number of translations.
