I think that your blog post is really great. I didn’t think of duality in terms of industrialization i.e. injustice and child labor, which I assume that you assume is shown through Hyde’s trampling over the young […]

First of all, I love your title. It’s so catchy! I love Buffy, so I immediately gravitated towards this blog post. I like the connection you made to “Carmilla,” especially in light of other vampire franchises that […]

If I could ‘Like’ this I would.
swu7 commented on the post, Common Sensation Novel Quaities as Seen in “The Moonstone” and “Clue”, on the site English 345: English Novel II 7 years, 5 months ago

As everyone said, I really like how you compared “The Moonstone” to “Clue.” For one thing, all I knew of it before this post was that it was a board game I never learned how to play. I never knew it was a book or […]

Hark! What is that light?
‘Tis the moon, come out at last
Bright, shimmering white

Seeking out others
She softly enters a home,
Pauses on a girl

What is she holding?
The moon shines closely on h […]
swu7 commented on the post, Reality and Truth in The Moonstone, on the site English 345: English Novel II 7 years, 6 months ago

Your post brings up some very astute points relating to truth in this novel. I mean, it makes sense that the truth would be blurry given the genre of the novel, but the meaning/implication behind this blurred […]

I’m glad that you introduced this work to us, and demonstrated the significance of physiognomy in tracing Bertha’s madness. As we’re all well aware, physiognomy plays an important role in the novel in shaping […]
swu7 commented on the post, Finding Balance, on the site English 345: English Novel II 7 years, 6 months ago

I think that you make a great connection. When I read your first sentence, I actually didn’t think about the novel at all regarding the “golden mean”, but of our phrenology readings. In George Combe’s excerpt […]

Sally Shuttleworth’s essay explores the prevalence of phrenology in Jane Eyre and what this prevalence suggests. She poses the question of the implication of phrenology regarding gender. The parts of S […]

“Is being an orphan a stigma that correlates with “evil” or “sin”?”
I like this question that you’ve brought up. It immediately brought to my mind “The Turn of the Screw” by Henry James. Flora and Miles, two orph […]
swu7 commented on the post, The Orphan Narrative, on the site English 345: English Novel II 7 years, 7 months ago

Harry Potter is my favorite series, and I love that you made a comparison between Jane Eyre and Harry Potter. You said ” Harry and Jane are both orphans who have to deal with abusive and morally bankrupt […]
swu7 commented on the post, Emma and Mr. Knightley; Benedick and Beatrice, on the site English 345: English Novel II 7 years, 7 months ago

I’ve never read Shakespeare’s play, but it sounds very interesting, and I think that you drew relevant similarities regarding the relationships between Emma and Mr. Knightley and Benedick and Beatrice. I like the […]

Emma
There is a girl so handsome and well off
Her name is known throughout society
Her wit you’d never ever deign to scoff
No one possesses such a will as she
Of marriage, she would never think to do
Her i […]
