Abstract
This paper examines the controversial book "Lady Chatterley's Lover" by D.H. Lawrence which is full of social, political and cultural implications. It looks at how, by focusing on the forbidden relationship between Lady Connie Chatterley and Oliver Mellors, Lawrence reveals a great deal about the structure and politics of post-war society. It discusses how although the main theme of the book is love, the unproductiveness, inhumanity and ugliness of life in a local mining community play a large role and how the political elements of the book are clearly demonstrated by Lady Chatterley's life in a society devoted to making money.
From the Paper
"The Chatterleys' marriage was main theme in the story, as society unfairly viewed its failure as the fault of Lady Chatterley, who had a difficult time maintaining a relationship with a husband who was half paralyzed and half crazy. She looks to Mellors to make her feel alive again. However, the prosecution fails to realize that the couple is building a strong relationship that has a good chance of leading to a successful marriage. They can only point finders and accuse the couple of immorality."

How the heroines of the 3 novels deal with the demands of nature and the demands of the social order.
From the Paper
"Novelists reflect the prevailing views of their society, even when they disagree with those ideas. The way society views women can be discerned in the novels The End of the Affair by Graham Greene, Lady Chatterley's Lover by D.H. Lawrence, and The Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys. Gender is used as one of many elements that orders society, and when novelists question this element, it is because they believe it is based on a false view of the issue and that it limits both men and women in their interactions and their ability to achieve.
Graham Greene's The End of the Affair is a moral work that elevates life rather than debasing it. The author brings the while forcing the reader to draw conclusions about how people cope with these issues. The primary human concern in the novel is with religious belief, reasons for such belief, and reasons..."

Abstract
In examining "The Diary of Lady Murasaki", this paper analyzes the relationship between men and women as seen during the Heian Period in Japan, and Murasaki's observations of life on the court.
From the Paper
"The Japanese at the Heian court began to develop a culture that was independent from the Chinese culture that had formed the cultural life of imperial Japan up until then (Ebrey, 193). Since Chinese writing was adapted to an entirely different language, the Japanese began their own writing system. They also developed a court culture with values and concepts uniquely different from imperial China (Johnson, Oct. 24, 2005). This culture was largely among the women's communities at court and reached their peak by Lady Murasaki. The Diary of Lady Murasaki is a historical document that marks a turning point in women's history. During the Heian period it was considered inappropriate for a woman to know how to write in Chinese and was reserved for men. Regardless, women went on to write poems, prose, and dairies, thus proving to the males that they were capable of writing."

Abstract
This paper explains that Lady Murasaki wrote her "Court Diary during the period in which Bushido was a code and way of life for Samurai men and was influenced by Zen and Confucianism. The author points out that in Lady Murasaki's "Court Diary", it is obvious that Buddhism and Buddhist metaphysics are very much a part of Japanese court life; however, what is not so obvious is that Chinese Confucianism also had become part of 10th century Japan's Imperial court. The paper relates that the notion of impermanence is an extremely salient characteristic throughout the Diary; she writes that all things are ephemeral, reflecting on the aesthetics of the period, which were based on the beauty of impermanence.
From the Paper
"Confucianism influenced the Chinese attitude toward life, set the patterns of living and standards of social value, and provided the background for Chinese political theories and institutions. It eventually spread from China to Korea, from Korea to Japan where it was first brought to around the fifth century. Confucius had a great impact on the Japanese civilization. His teachings relating to ethics, honor, social responsibility, familial obligations, ancestor worship, and observation of rites and historical precedence provide the glue that gives the Japanese civilization continuity and durability."

Abstract
A paper which focuses on the psychological aspects of dreams and psychoanalysis in order to make sense of Lady Macbeth's actions. The author of this paper examines how Lady Macbeth turns from a single-minded, ambitious, unforgiving murderer to a guilty, sleepwalking, absent-minded mess. The author delves into instances from the text that suggest what Lady Macbeth was going through at the time and shows how, psychologically, Sigmund Freud's theory of psychoanalysis would be suited best to find the reasoning behind Lady Macbeth's metamorphosis.
From the Paper
"In order to make any headway into this subject, an overview of Freud's psychoanalytical theory is needed. Psychoanalysis is a theory that derives on the idea that the unconscious mind is driven by the sexual urges and primal instinct of man (Quigley 2). One of the most significant points in this theory is the idea that our inborn desires are governed by three separate entities designated as the Id, the Ego, and the Superego (Quigley 3). The Id is the part of the unconscious mind that contains the sexual, instinctive urges of man (Quigley 3). The Superego is the unconscious purveyor of the internalized rules of society; better known as the cautious part of the mind (Quigley 3). The Ego, on the other hand, is the medium between the Id and the Superego; the Ego takes the primal urge under advisement, brings the Superego into the equation, and comes to an eventual compromise between the two (Quigley 3)."

"Lady Lazarus", 2002.

Abstract
This paper discusses how Sylvia Plath's poetry mostly portrays the theme of social deviance and society's intolerance to differences portrayed by individuals, especially women. It shows how the poem, "Lady Lazarus", in particular, illustrates these themes. It looks at how the poem uses a character named Lady Lazarus in order to illustrate to the audience the effects of the marginalization of women in a repressive society. It examines how the poem is divided into two phases: the first, the establishment of Lady Lazarus's condition and apparent insanity, while the second phase is more complex, since there are numerous implied meanings embedded that show the duplicity of the woman's character.
From the Paper
"Lines 74-78 shows symbolisms used to illustrate social status, which Lady Lazarus shuns: "You poke and stir/ Flesh, bone, there is nothing there--/ A cake of soap/ A wedding ring/ A gold filling." In this passage, the character shows how social statutes determined in the society is meaningless, represented by material wealth that is but trivial to the true meaning of life. Plath displays antagonism in her society by addressing individuals as "Herr Doktor," "Herr Enemy," "Herr God," and "Herr Lucifer." The use of 'Herr' in the poem reflects the evil character of the Nazis; thus, using this form of address shows Lady Lazarus' perception that the people in her society are no different from the Nazis."

Abstract
This paper examines how Lady Macbeth and the witches play a vital role in pushing Macbeth to choose the evil path to the crown in William Shakespeare's "Macbeth". It looks at how Lady Macbeth plays the masculine role during the opening scenes of the play and forces her ambitious ways upon Macbeth and how, throughout the play, her famous speeches and soliloquies show the extent of her influence on Macbeth. It also explores how the witches use Macbeth's character flaw to their advantage and entice Macbeth to act on his ambition of obtaining the crown.
From the Paper
"Lady Macbeth is part of the instigation behind the unleashing of Macbeth's evil side. Lady Macbeth's words to her husband as well as her many influential soliloquies show her longing for power and therefore she urges Macbeth to murder Duncan. Macbeth and his wife have a very strong relationship in which they greatly influence one another's actions. In the first two acts it becomes apparent that Lady Macbeth's words mean a great deal to her husband, which gives the impression that she is the dominant figure in the relationship. In Act 1, Scene 5 we find out that as soon as she receives her husband's letter she instantly begins to plot and scheme. We immediately become aware of the fact that she wants Macbeth to become king, so she can become the Queen of Scotland."

Abstract
This paper examines how Sylvia Plath's poem "Lady Lazarus" is pervaded by chilling imagery evoking Nazi concentration camps and the decay of human flesh. It looks at how her comparison of the doctor to a Nazi is a heavy analogy of the patriarchal and oppressive nature of the modern medical system. It also discusses how the overall tone of "Lady Lazarus" is sarcastic, ironic, full of mockery of death and of the patriarchal establishment.
From the Paper
"One of the ways the poet conveys a tone of sarcasm and irony in "Lady Lazarus" is through imagery, simile, and metaphor. For example, in line 4 the narrator describes herself as "A sort of walking miracle," and then states, "my skin / Bright as a Nazi lampshade," (line 5). The narrator does not seriously suggest that she is a "walking miracle" simply because her suicide attempt was arrested. In fact, in a later stanza, the narrator again evokes the word "miracle" to sarcastically suggest that what the doctors do is far from being miracle work. Also, to compare her skin to a "Nazi lampshade" is a curious poetic devise that is loaded with sarcasm and dark humor. Sarcastic imagery concordant with the analogy of Nazism also occurs in the following stanza, in which the narrator compares her face with "a featureless, fine / Jew linen," (lines 8-9). "

Abstract
This paper, exploring Lady Macbeth's words and actions, proves that she was a woman driven by ambition and power, thus rejecting the notion that she suffered from hysteria.The author points out that only when she did not completely consider the consequences, did she begin to fall apart. The paper concludes that ambition is not a neurosis, but as Shakespeare teaches, it can be deadly; Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are unable to cope with what they did.
From the Paper
"Our first bit of proof that Lady Macbeth is not hysterical but in her right mind occurs in her effectiveness in manipulating her husband. She doubts his manhood when he does not appear to be eager to commit murder. For instance, she tells him:
From this time,
Such I account try love. Art thou afeard
To be the same in thine own act and valour
As thou art in desire? (I.vii.38-41)
This statement reveals how tricky she can be. Her incredible commitment to carry through with the murder of the king is amazing beyond belief and her trickery is proof that she operating under her own conscious."

Tennyson's "The Lady of Shalott", 2004.

Abstract
This paper explains that "The Lady of Shalott" is narrative poetry in the form of a ballad, which displays a central theme of diligence in occupation in opposition to the theme of complacence and relaxation. The author points out that the Lady of Shalott represents a person who is wholly engrossed in her occupation; whereas Lancelot and the people of Camelot represent complacency and relaxation. The paper relates that Tennyson expresses the relationship between diligence and relaxation through his use of imagery, symbolism, and action.
From the Paper
"Imagery plays a crucial role in "The Lady of Shalott." Shalott is an island; singular in its position, The Lady of Shalott is a woman whom is also singular in her position since she is constant in her loom work, and she is isolated like the island itself. The Lady is embowered in "four gray walls and four gray towers" that look upon a field of lilies. The image of gray walls and towers imparts a feeling of a dreary, monotonous routine, and the lilies of purity and a pallid existence. The weaving however, a result of The Lady's occupation, is "a magic web with colours gay." The connection that The Lady has with the outside world, her mirror, presents her with shadows, a perception of only images and shapes, devoid of soul and thought, mere pictures to her."

Abstract
This paper discusses nudity in Victorian art on the basis of "Lady Godiva's Prayer" by Edwin Landseer. The writer points out that this image dates from the Victorian era, and Landseer was a typical Victorian in many ways and so shaped the image according to principles and customs from that era. The writer further notes that critics see the painting as a contradiction, mixing a degree of nudity with a narrow-minded vision of a partly historical, partly mythical subject matter well-known in England. The writer discusses that the painting is also structured on certain anachronistic elements, with the dress of the lady-in-waiting being Puritan garb from a different century.
From the Paper
"The painting selected for consideration is Lady Godiva's Prayer by Edwin Landseer, dating from around 1865. This image dates from the Victorian era, and Landseer was a typical Victorian in many ways and so shaped the image according to principles and customs from that era. Critics see the painting as a contradiction, mixing a degree of nudity with a narrow-minded vision of a partly historical, partly mythical subject matter well-known in England. The painting is also structured on certain anachronistic elements, with the dress of the lady-in-waiting being Puritan garb from a different century."

"The Miracles of Our Lady of Rocamadour", 2007.
Looks at "The Miracles of Our Lady of Rocamadour", translated and edited by Marcus Bull, to understand the concepts of need in the Middle Ages.

Abstract
This paper explains that the miracle stories in "The Miracles of Our Lady of Rocamadour", a formidable body of work, highlight contemporary medieval thought regarding the issue of need and its relief in the Middle Ages. In particular, the paper explains that the miracle stories show the contemporary thought during the Middle Ages on the issue of need and how it was believed it could be cured through divine belief. The paper also relates that the main point that can be drawn from this large collection of stories about miraculous healings is that people in the Middle Ages had lost hope in an earthly source to resolve the issues of why they were needy. As such, they went to the only sphere in which they believed earthly problems of need could be solved; through the supernatural intervention and 'miraculous holy radiance' of a saint who could remove earthly woes and resolve the causes of human need - in this instance, the miraculous "Our Lady of Rocamadour".
From the Paper
"Nevertheless, the stories show an almost systematic progression from seeking cure by 'traditional' means to one delivered by prayer and devotion to "Our Lady of Rocamadour". Thus, in a case where a knight is run through the stomach with a lance, it is stated that the doctors' 'skills were not enough to make their patient well', so they seized 'the opportunity to run away' . In the instance of Count Robert, 'doctors applied poultices which did absolutely no good, and they lost the hope that the arm would get better' . Elsewhere, a mad woman could not be helped by 'physician's arts'."
