Abstract:

Winnie Verloc's role in "The Secret Agent" has received little initial critical attention. However, this character emerges as Conrad's hero in this novel because she is an exception to what afflicts the other characters: institutionalism. In the first chapter, I discuss the effect of institutions on the characters in the novel as well as on London, and how both the characters and the city lack hope and humanity. Chapter II is an analysis of Winnie's character, concentrating on her philosophy that "life doesn't stand much looking into," and how this view, coupled with her disturbing experience

Abstract:

The aim of this essay is to investigate ways in which the narrative in Joseph Conrad’s The Secret Agent reflects the political views within and around the novel. The narrative focus of the essay is plot-structure and focalisation, and the political focus circles around anarchy and anarchism. The essay discusses how the anarchist’s belief in individual freedom and Conrad’s scepticism towards politics is reflected in the novel’s narration. I also discuss how the narrator uses irony to reflect Conrad’s scepticism.

Abstract:

This dissertation will investigate how Conrad's "purely artistic purpose" comes under ethical review as reader, character and author renegotiate the terms of the story's telling - specifically (to pursue the novel's haunting reference to Othello) with regard to "the pity of it".

Abstract:

Abstract: The components of this paper are essentially based on grammatical cohesion which comprises reference (nominal and demonstrative), substitution and ellipsis (both nominal, verbal and clausal) and were selected from "Silent Snow, Secret Snow" by Conrad Aiken. Considering the language used by the author and by virtue of the cohesive peculiarity of the short story, we proposed a division of the text into two distinct parts, presenting, there fore, a new perspective in terms of structure, without any intention of altering the structural originality of the text,which is based on the sequen
