Magic symbolism. Use of color. Role of fantasy. Anti-Soviet aspects. Confrontation between the two different brothers.
Paper Introduction: A key passage in Envy highlights the state of dominant Russian culture and politics in a series of encoded images--encoded because bourgeois Russian culture has at the time of the novel been transformed wholesale. Envy as a whole contemplates the multiple contingencies that have emerged out of revolutionary transition. This is the society that Ivan says "is eating us alive . . . the way a boa constrictor swallows a rabbit" (Olesha 344). So Ivan, in what he imagines to be a meaningful gesture, decides to withhold his magical Ophelia machine, which might have saved the new society, as an act of revenge.
That relatively straightforward anti-Soviet rant appears to mean pretty much what it says, though one does not have to be a white Russian to realize that the October Revolution succeeded in part because of tsarist greed. The text is not necessarily subve

Read this research paper. Paper Abstract: Compares Dostoevsky's THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV & Olelsha's ENVY. The characters of brothers in both novels. Different visions of both authors. Dostoevsky's depiction of a decayed society in need of change; thread of action. ENVY depicting the circumstances that emerged out of revolutionary transition. Olesha's use of object and color.
Paper Introduction: Certain patterns of narrative logic in Envy can be found in Brothers Karamazov. Comparisons are not exact, of course, and not only because Olesha and Dostoevsky have markedly different visions. Whereas the three brothers in Brothers Karamazov have Alyosha as moral compass, the two brothers in Envy are two sides of a disagreeable coin--the apparatchik Andrei and the dissolute and programmatically disillusioned would-be counterrevolutionary Ivan. If the pseudointellectual Ivan of Envy resonates with the more capable Ivan of Brothers and if Andrei's live-by-the-guts character resonates with sensual Dmitri, by no means does Envy's unregenerate but feckless bourgeois Kavalerov resemble Dostoevsky's gentle Alyosha. Kavalerov envies Andrei, who has prospered in Soviet Russia, and like Ivan Babichev he envies Andrei's casual ease with Valia, whom he idealizes and resents at th

Paper Introduction: This research examines the concepts of regulative action and strategic action formulated by Habermas as they apply to the use in the U.S. of the drug RU486, also known as mifepristone. The research will set forth the context in which Habermas's view of strategic action achieves relevance in social discourse and then discuss ways in which that concept has usefulness in illuminating the discourse and controversy surrounding RU486.
According to Habermas, objectively recognized social norms achieve force as regulated speech acts that can be analyzed with reference to whether common understanding is reached about them (Collins and Makowsky 277). Strategic action, which can be formulated as strategic speech acts, is the name given to self-interested (social) action that is meant "to control or influence others rather than coming to an understanding with them"

Similarities of the novels in addressing themes of history, politics, aesthetics and personality. Russia's complex political system and class antagonisms as central to the authors' literary efforts. The spirit of rebellion in both novels.
Paper Introduction: Thematic Analysis: Two Examples of Russian Literature
Introduction and Purpose
Both Tolstoy (in Hadji Murad) and Pushkin (in The Captain’s Daughter) employ the devices of fiction to address themes of history and politics, aesthetics, and personality. In this brief essay, these two writers’ short novels will be compared with respect to each of these levels. It will be argued that for both Pushkin and Tolstoy, the inescapable facts of Russia’s complex political system and class and/or ethnic antagonisms were central to their literary efforts and that the novellas share many similarities in terms of theme and characterization.
The Historical and Political Level
Tolstoy’s Hadji Murad has been described by John Bayley (1967) as the story of a native chieftain (whose name const

Read this research paper. Paper Abstract: Examines how men in 3 modern novels deal with the need to prove their maleness. 2 novels by Vladimir Nabakov & 1 by Mikhail Bulgakov.
Paper Introduction: Male characters in a number of modern novels face the need to prove their maleness in a world in which what maleness means is not always clear. In two novels by Vladimir Nabokov--Invitation to a Beheading and Despair--and one by Mikhail Bulgakov--The Master and Margarita--the male characters are artists in some degree, separate from the mass of men by their artistic sensibilities, and seeking to prove their worth through their art. In all three novels, reality is suspended as these characters interact with the world more directly in their own minds than in reality.
In Nabokov's Invitation to a Beheading, the main character is a man sentenced to die. Cincinnatus C. is the perpetrator of some hideous crime. In truth, he lives in an imaginary land largely of his own making, and all the people in this land are

Read this research paper. Paper Abstract: Critical analysis of theses and various interpretations of short story "The Overcoat," particularly the ending.
Paper Introduction: Nikolai Gogol was a major Russian novelist, dramatist, satirist, and founder of the so called school of critical realism in Russian literature. Gogol was born in Sorochintsi, Ukraine, and grew up on his parent's country estate. His real surname was Ianovskii, but his grandfather had taken the name "Gogol" to claim a noble Cossack ancestry. Gogol's father was an educated and gifted man who also wrote plays, poems, and sketches in Ukrainian. Gogol started writing while in high school. He attended Poltava boarding school (1819 21) and Nezhin high school (1821 28), and in 1829, he settled in St. Petersburg, with a certificate attesting his right to "the rank of the 14th class." Gogol worked at minor governmental jobs and wrote occasionally for periodicals. From 1831 to 1834, Gogol taught history at the Patriotic Institute and worked as a

Read this research paper. Paper Abstract: Explores similarities & differences between Nabokov's book & Kubrick's movie LOLITA.
Paper Introduction: The novel Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov and the film version by director Stanley Kubrick differ in a number of ways as to plot, characters, and tone. Of course, the primary difference is in medium, and this is especially important for this novel given that wordplay is a vital element in it, while the film only touches on that aspect of Humbert Humbert's obsessive life. The major diversion Kubrick takes from the book is found in his elevation of Quilty to a major character.
The novel was a controversial one. It was published first in 1955 in France because Nabokov could not find an American publisher, but the book was finally published in the United States in 1958 and became an immediate best-seller:
It is biography, detective story, tale of the double, romantic novel, travel book, comedy, but also tragedy,

Read this research paper. Paper Abstract: Compares nature of anti-hero in three Russian works. Good & evil, social views & relationships, fatal flaws, deaths.
Paper Introduction: This study will examine the changing nature of the hero in three Russian works, Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, Alexander Pushkin's The Captain's Daughter, and Mikhail Lermontov's A Hero of Our Time. The study will be based on the view that the "hero" of these three works is not a heroic figure in the traditional sense, but is more an anti-hero, a person who in one case (Grinyov in Pushkin) is a weak man who is blown to and fro by circumstances, and, in the other two cases, is far more flawed than such traditional, classical heroes, and far more flawed than the bulk of the readers. By "traditional hero" this study means the classical figure of the Greeks or Shakespeare--an acknowledged leader of men, an honorable and admirable character with far more positive than negative qualities, but also with a fatal flaw (pride, jealousy) which eventually destroys him.

Paper Introduction: This study will compare and contrast Karolina Pavlova's At the Tea-Table and Ivan Turgenev's Fathers and Sons. The study will focus on the conflicts in the two works involving characters who live according to what might loosely be called feminine or masculine principles. In addition, the contradictions in the definitions of these principles will be explored.
For example, in Turgenev, the feminine principle is held by Nikolai, who values art, romantic love, and religion. The masculine principle is held by Bazarov, who values materialism, science, nihilism and violent revolution, while disdaining the values of the feminine principle. In Pavlova, on the other hand, the masculine principle is held most significantly by the Princess who embodies a love for art, literature and philosophy, and a tendency toward domination, especially in her relationship

Read this research paper. Paper Abstract: Examines uses & critique of realism in several tales by Soviet writer.
Paper Introduction: This study will compare and contrast aspects of realism in Ivan Bunin's The Gentleman from San Francisco and Other Stories. As J.A. Cuddon writes in A Dictionary of Literary Terms, Fundamentally, in literature, realism is the portrayal of life with fidelity. It is thus not concerned with idealization, with rendering things as beautiful when they are not, or in any other way presenting them in any guise as they are not; nor, as a rule, is realism concerned with presenting the supranormal or transcendental. . . . (Cuddon 553).
On the surface, Bunin adheres to this realistic formula, describing the surface of life in great detail, from the point of view of characters who generally believe that such detail contains the truth of human existence. However, in these stories,

Paper Introduction: This study will compare the characters of the brothers Dmitri and Ivan in Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel The Brothers Karamazov. The brothers stand in stark contrast to one another, with Dmitri being the brother who represents the passion of human existence, while ivan represents the rational aspect. Because of this contrast, the brothers inevitably clash.
Dmitri, also known as Mitya in the novel, is immediately shown to be a man who lives a wayward life of passion:
He spent an irregular boyhood and youth. . . . He did not finish his studies at the gymnasium, he got into a military school, . . . fought a duel, and was degraded, . . . led a wild life, and spent a good deal of money (6).

Read this research paper. Paper Abstract: Critical analysis of two reviews of novel by Trevor McNeely & Brian Walter.
Paper Introduction: Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita was a controversial novel when it was first published because of its story--the criminal abduction and rape of a twelve year-old girl by her stepfather--and, even more, because of its presentation in the form of a love story. Critics have struggled to develop interpretations and explanations of the author's intentions that account for the strange combination of an extremely brutal subject and Nabokov's elegant writing. Unfortunately, at least with the two scholars studied here, the critical thought expended on the novel seems to have missed the point almost completely. Brian D. Walter and Trevor McNeely--two writers chosen at random from the scholarly literature--approach the novel with an earnestness that is not equaled by their ability to understand the book. Neither of these writers ever manages to be consistent in viewing the

Read this research paper. Paper Abstract: Analyzes protagonist's shallow life & redemptive death & role of his servant in his spiritual awakening.
Paper Introduction: This study will analyze Leo Tolstoy's short novel The Death of Ivan Ilych, focusing on the physical and symbolic causes of the protagonist's death, the view of Russian society projected by the author, and the role and symbolic significance of Ivan's servant Gerasim plays in the story and in the life and awakening of Ivan. The study will argue basically that Ivan lived a shallow life ruled by selfishness and materialism, incurred a mysterious illness, and just before his death underwent a spiritual conversion marked by clearly Christian references. Gerasim plays a helpful role in directly and indirectly guiding Ivan toward this awakening.
The physical aspect of Ivan's illness is clearly meant by Tolstoy to be both a mystery and quite ordinary. The onset of the illness is caused by an apparently minor mishap. Ivan has just

Read this research paper. Paper Abstract: Reviews Russian author's autobiographical account of life with rebels & revolutionaries in 1880s.
Paper Introduction: Maxim Gorky's My Universities is the central volume of his autobiographical works and tells the story of the period in his life when he was living among the outcasts of society. His universities are these outcast people, the drifters and revolutionaries who taught him about life and the real feelings of real people. This was the era of the development of anarchy as a political movement in Russian society, and this had an influence on young Gorky and fueled his revolutionary passions in later life.
In the period just before that covered by Gorky in My Universities, in the sixties and seventies, silent resentment was building among the peasantry and others in the lower classes, but the peasants still looked to the tsar for redress:
They looked back to a time before the landlords were in

Paper Introduction: This study will provide a review of Alexander Solzhenitsyn's novel Cancer Ward. The review will consider the information and knowledge conveyed in the book, the major issues and themes in the book, and what the two main characters (Kostoglotov the protagonist and Rusanov the antagonist) lived by, or what sustained them in life.
In the author's letter to the Fourth Congress of Soviet writers, which is included in the Bantam edition, he argues for the end to Soviet censorship. It is ironic that the letter was written arguing for the end to official delays in publishing this novel, for Cancer Ward is certainly one of the least overtly politically threatening of his works. It certainly can be interpreted as a veiled indictment of the oppression of the totalitarian Soviet system, but at least on the surface it is far

Read this research paper. Paper Abstract: Influence of epic poem on novel, focusing on symbolism of state of Peter, city & fate of Russia.
Paper Introduction: This study will discuss the influence of Alexander Pushkin's narrative poem "The Bronze Horseman" on Andrei Bely's novel Petersburg. The study will consider the symbolism of both works, focusing on the symbolic significance of the statue of Peter the Great and of the city and society of Petersburg itself.
It is obvious immediately that the novel by Bely owes a debt to the poem by Pushkin. The epigraph which begins the first chapter of the novel is taken directly from Pushkin's poem:
It was a dreadful time, in truth,
Of it still fresh the recollection . . .
Of it, my friends, I now for you
Begin my comfortless narration.
Lugubrious will be my tale (Bely 3).

Read this research paper. Paper Abstract: (Mikhail Bulgakov). Novel's satirical portrayal of Soviet repression in 1930s, focusing on censorship of artistic & religious expression.
Paper Introduction: This study will examine Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita, focusing on the the novel's portrayal of Soviet life in the period from 1929 to 1939 (that is, how citizens were expected to act, think, and express themselves). The study will discuss Bulgakov's critique of this culture, and will discuss the author's alternative to this repressive culture insofar as it is implied in the novel.
Bulgakov is interested in one specific aspect of the relation of the repressive governmental structure to the individual, and that aspect has to do with artistic creation. As the translator writes in the introduction, Bulgakov has a "lasting concern with the relation of the artist, the creative individual, to state authority, and with the fate of the artist's work" (Bulgakov xi-xii). This concern was due in part to the

Read this research paper. Paper Abstract: Critical analysis of Russian writers' works & their relative pessimism or optimism about Russia, society, fate, human nature.
Paper Introduction: This study will discuss the works of Alexander Pushkin, Nikolai Gogol, and Mikhail Lermontov, focusing on the optimism or pessimism of the authors as they express their views in their art.
In his verse novel Eugene Onegin, Pushkin paints a generally pessimistic view about Russian prospects, if we are to take the fop protagonist as a meaningful and representative product of that society. Pushkin certainly offers critical comments on the Russian aristocratic society of his time, but his criticism is far from stinging. He actually seems to be very fond of the society he mildly chastises, and he is certainly fond of the wastrel Onegin. It would seem that Pushkin wants us to see Onegin as an innate dandy, born to the part as much as shaped to it by a superficial and passionless society. The novel itself is painful

Paper Introduction: Boris Pasternak's Doctor Zhivago challenged a number of socialist tenets in political, social, and literary terms, and it was banned in the Soviet Union as a consequence for 30 years. Politically, the novel questions the reality of the Soviet system as it developed, finding that the promise of the Bolsheviks was dissipated in the early years as changes were made in the social and political beliefs they had offered. In literary terms, the novel breaks away from the prevailing school of social realism, which in itself had been turned into a deliberate political statement and almost a political requirement for socialist-accepted writing. The novel intentionally deals with the early years of the Soviet system rather than with the Stalinist years. Pasternak had lived through both eras, but in this novel he was only challenging the way the Bolsheviks had abandoned their

Paper Introduction: This study will compare the treatments of the theme of free will in Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilych and Fyodor Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment.
The bulk of each story is apparently about a man who acts according to his free will. Raskolnikov and Ivan are men who believe that they are superior to other human beings, and that as a result of this superiority they feel that what they do and think and feel is automatically representative of what is good. In Raskolnikov's case, we find a man who believes that he is beyond the moral standards that the rest of the human race is obliged to live by. Ivan is a much more conventional fellow, for he believes essentially that he is doing what has been defined as activities of an exemplary life, a life to be admired by others for its success and happiness. Both Raskolnikov and Ivan are men

Paper Introduction: In the novel Envy, Yury Olesha portrays the alienation of the bourgeois in the wake of the Russian revolution. The protagonist, Nikolai Kavalerov, realizes gradually that the new Soviet man is not to be envied but to be ignored. The critical incident occurs at the climax of the novel, when Kavalerov dreams of the death of the Christ-like Ivan Babichev at the hands of his own disaffected machine. At the end of the novel, Kavalerov decides to remain in the bed of the widow Prokopovich, symbol of decadence and decay. He comes to realize that a transition to a new Soviet man is impossible, and his envy changes to indifference. The Soviet world is represented in Envy as a place where individuality is lost and replaced with collective ideals--romanticism replaced with empiricism and emotions replaced by logic.

Paper Introduction: This study will examine Boris Pasternak's Doctor Zhivago, focusing on the spiritual aspects of the novel and particularly of the character of Yuri Zhivago. The study will consider the theme of death and resurrection as it reflects upon the symbolic nature of the novel and the spiritual philosophy of Yuri as an artist and as a man. The thesis of the study will be that Zhivago's entire novel is a spiritual universe unto itself, with the author's having depicted characters who, whatever their individual flaws, together form a symbolic unity of life and spirit.
This thesis is supported by the argument of Angela Livingstone in Pasternak: Doctor Zhivago. Of the main characters, Livingstone writes that " . . . Yuri, Lara and (through his influence) Vedenyapin [Uncle Nikolai] constitute at

Paper Introduction: First published in February, 1848, The Communist Manifesto is the work of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels and represented the "complete theoretical and practical party program" of the Communist League assembled in London in November, 1847 (Introduction, p. 22). This document has survived as the "first definitive statement" of Marx' and Engels' system of socialism. The Communist Manifesto addresses itself to the "workingmen of all countries" and is divided into four main sections: Bourgeois and Proletarians, Proletarians and Communists, Socialist and Communist Literature, and Position of the Communists in Relation to the Various Existing Opposition Parties.
The Communist Manifesto was originally published in the German language and was translated into French, English, Italian, Polish, and Russian in Marx' time. Prefaces to seven later

Paper Introduction: This study will analyze the character of Anna Karenina in Tolstoy's novel of the same name. The study will include consideration of the parallel plots featuring Anna's story on one hand and Levin's story on the other; the perspective on family life and on romantic love taken by Tolstoy in the novel, and the relationship of that perspective to the two plots; and the development of the character of Anna in a social context and in terms of her eventual downfall.
It is clear that there is a highly ethical message which Tolstoy is sending in his portrayal of the life and death of Anna Karenina, and in the presentation of the comparison between the two plots. The contrasts between the two characters and their loves and ideals are numerous and striking.

Paper Introduction: This study will examine Feodor Dostoevsky's novel Crime and Punishment, focusing on the argument that great suffering leads to salvation and that through suffering man's sins can be expiated.
The novel examines the crime of murder and its aftermath on two essential levels --- the psychological and the religious. Raskolnikov believes that the process is primarily or exclusively psychological, at least until he begins to deteriorate morally. As a psychological problem, Raskolnikov believes that he is able to overcome whatever problems arise from his crime. He believes that he has "thought ahead" far enough to foresee whatever such problems arise, and he sees himself as capable of confronting these problems and outsmarting whatever foes emerge in his pursuit of the crime and of controlling the consequences of the

Paper Introduction: One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich
The author of One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, Alexander I. Solzhenitsyn of Russia, spent eight years in concentration camps and three years in exile for the offense of writing derogatory remarks about Stalin while serving as a captain in the Russian army. The experiences in the camps provided the material for this novel, the only one of his works published in his native land. This stark story details the events of a typical day in a brutal, arctic slave labor camp in Siberia in the 1940's. The novel unfolds from the point of view of one prisoner, an ordinary working man, called Shukov throughout most of the work.
During a quarter of a century, the vast concentration camp system created by Stalin affected directly or indirectly almost

Read this research paper. Paper Abstract: Self-discovery of protagonists in [The Death of Ivan Ilych], [Master & Man], & [Hadji Murad].
Paper Introduction: This study will examine three short works by Leo Tolstoy, The Death of Ivan Ilych, Master and Man, and Hadji Murad. Specifically, the study will describe the manner in which each of the three protagonists in the stories is guided by the author down a narrowing road on which the hero finally discovers that his destination is very different from the one he originally set out for.
Ivan Ilych's "death" is not really what the story is about. The story is really about Ivan's life, and how the approach of death makes him aware of the fact that he is alive.
