'''“The Cask of Amontillado”''' is an 1846 short horror story written by Edgar Allan Poe.
==Plot==
“The Cast of Amontillado” begins by recounting the last meeting between two aristocratic gentlemen, the narrator Montresor, and the wine connoisseur Fortunato.{{sfn|Nesbitt|2000|p=297}} Montresor is plotting his revenge for the thousand injuries Fortunato did to him.{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=240}} While at the pre-Lenten festival, Montresor tells Fortunato that he has in his possession a cast of amontillado sherry and does not feel as though it is authentic.{{sfn|Nesbitt|2000|p=297}} Montresor leads Fortunato deep underground to his family catacombs in his palazzo. Although Fortunato has a cough from the nitre, he continues so his rival Luchesi does not steal his opportunity to taste the wine. Once they get into the catacombs Montresor chains him to the wall and begins to use a trowel and fresh mortar to entomb Fortunato.{{sfn|Nesbitt|2000|p=297}}

The story begins at a drinking festival during the Carnivale in an unspecified year in Italy. To entice his victim into his trap and seek revenge over Fortunato's "thousand injuries" against Montresor and his family, Montresor appropriates a key symbol of Freemasonry.

==Characters==
===Montresor===
He is the narrator of the story. He's a fascinating and nuanced character whose desire for vengeance drives the plot. His family motto is Nemo me impune lacessit,{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=242}} which translates to "no one insults me with impunity," which explains his motivation for murdering his friend.

===Fortunato===
His name means "fortunate". He is Montresor's Italian friend who is completely oblivious to his friend's revenge motive. It isn't until Montresor locks him in a crypt and begins to brick him in that Fortunato finally realizes he's been tricked. He is the antagonist of the story and loves vintage wines and carnival attire.

Fortunato apparently has a brotherhood and Montresor recognizes this fact and utilizes it for his own destruction hatred and his longing to lure Fortunate to his death.

===Luchesi===
Even though Luchesi isn't a key character in the story, he is still talked about. Luchesi is Fortunato's wine-tasting opponent. Montresor doesn't need to bring up Luchesi in order to entice Fortunato to his doom. The prospect of Amontillado is sufficient enough. For Montresor, Luchesi is a type of insurance.

==Major Themes==
Montresor is motivated by hate and seeks revenge on Fortunato. He feels as if he has insulted him and caused a thousand injuries to him but the injuries are not identified in the short story "The Cask of the Amontillado"

One theme is rivals, Montresor depicts his homicide of Fortunato in a tone of truth.{{sfn|Elhefnawy|2018|p=103}} However, his description of the episode offers very little with regard to what he thought and felt.{{sfn|Elhefnawy|2018|p=104}} Obviously, a significant part of the analysis of the story is committed to working out Montresor's thought process from the slight detail on offer.{{sfn|Elhefnawy|2018|p=105}} Rather than the thought processes that drive individuals to kill.{{sfn|Elhefnawy|2018|p=103}} Montresor even makes directed reference toward his anger regarding Fortunato's action.{{sfn|Elhefnawy|2018|p=103}} This is manner satisfactory to drive Montresor to kill, how Montresor goes with regards to his vengeance—the hero not looking for fulfillment in a duel yet demanding it through a more barefaced and surprising technique for homicide.{{sfn|Elhefnawy|2018|p=104}}

The plot revolves around alcohol and inebriation, with both contributing to Fortunato's gullibility and eventual demise in Montresor's wine cellar. Engaging Fortunato in dialogue ripe with irony, Montresor lures his victim deep into the family catacombs, urging him to try other wines along the way. {{sfn|Nesbett|2000|p=297}}

One of the themes for the story is unsatisfied. Montresor, at the end of his life, addresses his narrative by saying you should know my soul instead of feeling any guilt he tries to defend and convince you that he is not wrong and does not have any regret.{{sfn|Walter|p=447}}

A theme presented in the story is the callousness of ventures. Montresor appraises his murder as a successful act of vengeance and punishment rather than a crime.{{sfn|Baraban|2004|p=3}} Montresor's motto " No one insults me with impunity", interprets that punishing his offender is a matter of fulfilling his duty of honor before his noble ancestry.{{sfn|Baraban|2004|p=6}}

==Publication History==
The short horror story "The Cask of Amontillado" was first published in Philadelphia's monthly magazine, the Godey's Lady Book, in November 1846.

==Explanation of the Work's Title==
The Cask of Amontillado is translated to Casket of Wine. Montresor uses the wine to talk Fortunato into following him into his family catacombs. That is how Montresor was able to enact his revenge by entombing Fortunato.{{sfn|Nesbitt|2000|p=297}}

“'''Harrison Bergeron'''” is a 1961 short story by Kurt Vonnegut.


==Plot==
The story begins in the year of 2081, where the 211th, 212th and the 213th amendments control the lives of individuals. Nobody is allowed to be smarter than anybody else and people with mental disabilities have to wear handicaps. Then people who are better looking than others have to wear a face mask. Harrison Bergeron being taken away by the government at the age of 14 caused him to escape and invade the television studio in an attempt to overthrow the government. He then takes off his handicaps along with a ballerina's handicap and calls himself the Emporer and her the empress. After they dance, Diana Moon Glampers, the handicapped general walks in and kills them both.

==Characters==
===George Bergeron===
George Bergeron is Harrison Bergeron's father and Hazel Bergeron's husband. Despite his strength and "far above normal" IQ, George's abilities are limited by state-imposed mental and physical handicaps{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=135}}, making him equal to everyone else.

===Harrison Bergeron===
He is the son of George and Hazel Bergeron, he was taken away by the government at age 14.{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=135}} He is seven feet tall{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=137}} and appears to be the most advanced model the human species has to offer. Harrison is imprisoned for refusing to accept the government's regulations on himself and society, but he escapes, removes his handicaps, and in an act of disobedience against the government.

=== Hazel Bergeron===
Hazel Bergeron is Harrison Bergeron's mother and George Bergeron's wife. Unlike her husband and son, Hazel is described as having "perfectly average" strength and intelligence, she can't think about anything except in brief spurts{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=135}}, hence she has neither mental or physical handicaps.

===Ballerina/Empress===
The Ballerina is one of the dancers in George and Hazel Bergeron's televised dance performance, which they watch for the duration of the story. She has serious mental and physical problems, as well as an ugly disguise, at first. When Harrison Bergeron storms onto the stage and orders, "Let the first woman who dares rise to her feet claim her mate and her throne,"{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=138}} this dancer rises to her feet and becomes Harrison's Empress. Harrison takes away all of her handicaps, revealing her "blindingly attractive" beauty, and the two of them dance together brilliantly.{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=138}} Diana Moon Glampers shoots and kills Harrison and the Empress after the dance.{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=139}}

=== Diana Moon Glampers (Handicapper General)===
She is the United States' Handicapper General. She is in charge of controlling the minds and bodies of all Americans in order to ensure that everyone is treated equally.{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=135}} She is the one who shot and killed both Harrison and the Ballerina on live television{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=1139}} in order to silence their opposition and convey a message to all residents that individualism and skill will not be allowed.

== Major Themes==
From the start, it is evident that equality is a major theme. The equality represented in the satire isn't what most people think of when they say they desire equality. The intelligent have their thoughts disrupted by jolting sounds, musicians have an unstated handicap that limits their abilities, and the beautiful wear horrible masks. {{sfn|Hattenhauer|1998|p=387}}
Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else.{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=135}}

Yet when we look at Vonnegut's own words and three distinct story elements-the characters, the climax and the resulting meaning-we can see how muddled this once-thought-crysal-clear theme actually is.{{sfn|American Literature|1900-1999}}

A major theme presented in the story is the pessimism of technology. Vonnegut's depiction of science fiction correlating to equality is the absurdity of humanity.{{sfn|klinkowitz|1973|p=147}}The fusion of technology and humanity in this world hinders the capabilities of human variance, causing the destruction of the universe.{{sfn|klinkowitz|1973|p=148}}

“'''Harrison Bergeron'''” is a 1961 short story by Kurt Vonnegut.


==Plot==
The story begins in the year of 2081, where the 211th, 212th and the 213th amendments control the lives of individuals. Nobody is allowed to be smarter than anybody else and people with mental disabilities have to wear handicaps. Then people who are better looking than others have to wear a face mask. Harrison Bergeron being taken away by the government at the age of 14 caused him to escape and invade the television studio in an attempt to overthrow the government. He then takes off his handicaps along with a ballerina's handicap and calls himself the Emporer and her the empress. After they dance, Diana Moon Glampers, the handicapped general walks in and kills them both.

==Characters==
===George Bergeron===
George Bergeron is Harrison Bergeron's father and Hazel Bergeron's husband. Despite his strength and "far above normal" IQ, George's abilities are limited by state-imposed mental and physical handicaps{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=135}}, making him equal to everyone else.

===Harrison Bergeron===
He is the son of George and Hazel Bergeron, he was taken away by the government at age 14.{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=135}} He is seven feet tall{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=137}} and appears to be the most advanced model the human species has to offer. Harrison is imprisoned for refusing to accept the government's regulations on himself and society, but he escapes, removes his handicaps, and in an act of disobedience against the government.

=== Hazel Bergeron===
Hazel Bergeron is Harrison Bergeron's mother and George Bergeron's wife. Unlike her husband and son, Hazel is described as having "perfectly average" strength and intelligence, she can't think about anything except in brief spurts{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=135}}, hence she has neither mental or physical handicaps.

===Ballerina/Empress===
The Ballerina is one of the dancers in George and Hazel Bergeron's televised dance performance, which they watch for the duration of the story. She has serious mental and physical problems, as well as an ugly disguise, at first. When Harrison Bergeron storms onto the stage and orders, "Let the first woman who dares rise to her feet claim her mate and her throne,"{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=138}} this dancer rises to her feet and becomes Harrison's Empress. Harrison takes away all of her handicaps, revealing her "blindingly attractive" beauty, and the two of them dance together brilliantly.{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=138}} Diana Moon Glampers shoots and kills Harrison and the Empress after the dance.{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=139}}

=== Diana Moon Glampers (Handicapper General)===
She is the United States' Handicapper General. She is in charge of controlling the minds and bodies of all Americans in order to ensure that everyone is treated equally.{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=135}} She is the one who shot and killed both Harrison and the Ballerina on live television{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=1139}} in order to silence their opposition and convey a message to all residents that individualism and skill will not be allowed.

== Major Themes==
From the start, it is evident that equality is a major theme. The equality represented in the satire isn't what most people think of when they say they desire equality. The intelligent have their thoughts disrupted by jolting sounds, musicians have an unstated handicap that limits their abilities, and the beautiful wear horrible masks. {{sfn|Hattenhauer|1998|p=387}}
Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else.{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=135}}

Yet when we look at Vonnegut's own words and three distinct story elements-the characters, the climax, and the resulting meaning-we can see how muddled this once-thought-crysal-clear theme actually is.{{sfn|American Literature|1900-1999}}

The whole day his mind was set on the disturbing news. When his class was over, a friend of Sonny's came through the schoolyard to talk to the narrator about the situation and that he felt responsible for getting sonny hooked.

Then he sends sonny a drink of alcoholic scotch and milk which showed he was satisfied.
==Characters==
'''Narrator''': He is a math teacher and he is 7 years older than Sonny. The narrator goes through quandaries by attempting to navigate Sonny's future in the right direction, failing inevitably due to the lack of commitment.

'''Sonny''': He is the narrator's brother, jazz musician, and heroin addict who lived in New York. He died when he got hit by a car while walking home from a concert with the narrator’s father.

'''Isabel''': The wife of the narrator. She is a kind and understanding person and happy to take sonny into their family, despite his troubles.

'''Grace''': The narrator's daughter who died of polio at the age of two.

'''Creole''': Creole is the leader of the band sonny plays with at the jazz club.

'''The narrator's uncle''': He was killed at a young age when a car of drunken white men ran him over. The death broke the narrator's father's heart.

'''The narrator's Mother''': She is not alive in the story. She is wise and caring, dies when the narrator is away at war.

'''The narrator's Father''': He is also not alive and he is a hard man whose brother's death causes him immense grief.

'''Sonny's Friend''': He is a heroin addict who visits the narrator to tell him what happened to Sonny. He is unnamed whose brief appearance in the short story represents the innumerable young guys in Harlem who are addicted to drugs.

==Major themes==
One of the major themes is power of music, Sonny compares music's affective power to that of heroin. It makes him feel, "warm and cool at the same time" distant, sure and in control.{{sfn|Baldwin|2002|p=94}}

A theme presented in the story is brotherly division{{sfn|Stone|2013|p=1}}. The symbology of the death of Grace plays an essential role in both the narrator and Sonny’s relationship. Sonny’s fall from grace depicts his morality and corroded decisions leading to an isolated life.{{sfn|Stone|2013|p=2}} A fall from grace always has consequences in Christianity. The family is sorrowed over the death of the narrator’s daughter, leading to disintegration of grace within the brothers, causing them to drift apart and threatens to destroy their relationship.{{sfn|Stone|2013|p=3}}

Suffering is another theme for "Sonny's Blue". Suffering is seen constantly through out the story. Sonny's drug addiction{{sfn|Baldwin|2002|p=80}}, death of narrator's daughter{{sfn|Baldwin|2002|p=82}}, racism{{sfn|Baldwin|2002|p=79}}, and murder of the narrator's uncle{{sfn|Baldwin|2002|p=86}} shows suffering. Sonny's music came from the same dark experiences and his struggle to become a singer is not that easy.{{sfn|Baldwin|2002|p=88}}

==Development history==


===Publication history===




===Explanation of the Story’s Title===
The title of the story "Sonny's Blues” explains more about the story than it puts on even though his brother is the narrator, the character Sonny, still seems to have the story centered around him. As the book begins, we get to know just what Sonny's "blues" or woes are. Going into the second paragraph the narrator describes his concern for his brother as " A great block of ice... settled in my belly ". {{sfn|Baldwin|2002|p79}} He further goes on to describe the block of ice to be expanding until it felt like his guts " were going to spill out" he "was going to choke scream". {{sfn|Baldwin|2002|p79}} The narrator goes on to talk about how Sonny was arrested in a raid for “peddling and using heroin”. {{sfn|Baldwin|2002|p79}}

“'''To Build a Fire'''” is a 1908 short story by Jack London.


==Plot==


==Characters==
===The Man===
The man travels in the Yukon Territories with a husky. He is a “''chechaquo''," or a newcomer,{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=149}} making him overconfident and inexperienced, but self-assured because he knows the “facts.”{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=160}}

===The Dog===
The dog is a “big native husky”{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=150}} that accompanies the man along on his journey; the dog operates based on instinct.{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=160}}

===The Old-Timer===
Though he only appears in flashbacks, the Old-Timer from Sulphur Creek warns the man about the cold and traveling alone. {{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=154}}

==Major Themes==

A major theme of “Fire” is man versus nature, specifically, that man’s arrogance blinds him to nature and its potential.{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=161}} The Klondike is an area that is a grasping story of the battle of the frozen Yukon trail.{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=157}} It is an account of man versus nature, yet inside that story is one more story about a man's pride and unreadiness to acknowledge nature for what it is. {{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=161}} At the point when the man dismisses the law of nature, the discipline managed out naturally is serious. {{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=156}} The punishment of death comes to about because of attempting to stay away from it. {{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=158}} There is a big contrast between the information and that man has and the information he ought to have had.{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=149}}

The importance of community as opposed to self-reliance in survival and growth is emphasized in “Fire.”{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=161}}

Critic Donald Pizer explains how the limit of individualism is a key theme in this story. {{sfn|Pizer|2010|p=219}} The protagonist of the novel frequently claims his ability to travel alone and feels he can survive the harsh winter conditions. {{sfn|Pizer|2010|p=220}} Despite the cautions of the old man at Sulphur Creek, he refuses to travel with a companion, which ultimately leads to his death. {{sfn|Pizer|2010|p=221}}The man is unaware of the value of receiving assistance from others and believes that his own abilities will assure his survival. Apart from declining to go with a companion, the man demonstrates independence by dismissing the old man's wisdom and ignoring experience and guidance. The fact that the old man is an American in unfamiliar terrain is one piece of information that we are provided with. Individual freedoms and liberties are prized in American culture, and London's experience exemplifies the risks that these beliefs can engender.

A theme of "To Build A Fire" by London, is self-destruction. The protagonist not only ignores the old-timers warning to travel with a partner, lacks imagination but he is incapable of companionability. {{sfn|Hillier|2010|p=173}} He traveled alone except for a wolf dog, which he treated with contempt and hostility. {{sfn|Hillier|2010|p=173}} Not only by trying to use him to check for faults in the ice, at the end he thought about killing him to warm his hands. The protagonist also contuses to chew tobacco causing an amber beard to form, which later obstructs his mouth when tries to eat. {{sfn|Hillier|2010|p=175}} Then we are presented by the repetition of him trying to build a fire and failing again and again at his own despise. first by having the fire blotted out by an avalanche of snow, second, by having his book of Sulphur matches extinguished in one fell, and third by having fire snuffed out by a large piece of moss. {{sfn|Hillier|2010|p=173}} These failed attempts show that his arrogance and unwillingness to listen to others will lead to his own downfall.

Another theme for "To Build A Fire is pride. It is the man's pride which allows him to start his uncertain journey, prevents him form moving back when he realizes how cold it is which ultimately leads to death. The man was warned him not to travel alone but instead of preventing the man from making the trip he set out anyway and after soaking his feet he thought about the advice, given by that man.{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=154}} Few hours into his trip when he has a chance to turn back, he finds that it is very cold and still have overconfidence which puts him in a danger because the temperature matters.{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=149}} The man's pride is deep seated, after the falling snow put out his fire and his hands and feet are freezing totally he thought that old-timer from Sulphur creek was right and even after knowing that the death is not so far he doesn't realize that he was wrong.{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=154}}

When his class was over, a friend of Sonny's came through the school yard to talk to the narrator about the situation and that he felt responsible for getting sonny hooked.{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=80-82}}After the narrator daughter died of polio, he felt the need to write Sonny.{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=82}}When sonny got out of jail he had to live with the narrator wife Isabel's parents so that he could go to school and have access to a piano.{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=90}} Meanwhile, Sonny did not go to school, he started doing acid.{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=91}}After that he ran off to the navy and came back, him and the narrator got into a argument which made the narrator try to figure out sonny.{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=92}}So he goes to where sonny plays the piano and likes it and he send his brother a drink of a alcoholic scotch and milk.{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=99}}Sonny really didn't have no remorse for losing his parents at all.{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=82}}

==Characters==
'''Narrator''': He is a math teacher and he is 7 years older than Sonny.

'''Sonny''': He is the narrator's brother, jazz musician, and heroin addict who lived in New York.

'''Isabel''': The wife of the narrator.

==Major themes==
• One of the major themes is power of music, Sonny compares music's affective power to that of heroin. It makes him feel, "warm and cool at the same time" distant, sure and in control.{{sfn|Sipiora|2002|p=94}}

•A theme presented in the story is brotherly division{{sfn|Stone|2013|p=1}}. The symbology of the death of Grace plays an essential role in both the narrator and Sonny’s relationship. Sonny’s fall from grace depicts his morality and corroded decisions leading to an isolated life.{{sfn|Stone|2013|p=2}} A fall from grace always has consequences in Christianity. The family is sorrowed over the death of the narrator’s daughter, leading to disintegration of grace within the brothers, causing them to drift apart and threatens to destroy their relationship.{{sfn|Stone|2013|p=3}}

}}This journal breaks down the "it" and the "joy that kills" by describing nature which would create an image in the reader's head. At the beginning of the story, she feels like something was creeping out of the sky through sounds, scents, and colors that filled the air. Then it concludes with Louise going downstairs and being surprised by her supposedly dead husband and she dies. That describes the "joy that kills" which was indicated through the actions in the story.

==Major themes==
~thematic description, using the work of literary critics (i.e. scholars)~

A major theme throughout "The Story Of An Hour," is freedom. Once the hurt and grief of his loss pass over Louise, she realizes that she has the freedom to live her life the way she wants. You can see her moment of realization whenever she says, "free, free, free." She realizes that she is no longer held back by a marriage and has the freedom and independence to do as she pleases.

Another major theme of the story is death as a release. Louise's reaction to her husband's death is disheartening. However, sadness and grief gracefully turn into happiness and satisfaction. The socially acceptable way to react to death is with grief and only grief {{sfn|Allen|2021}}. Louise doesn't pertain to this situation accordingly, the grief is no longer there.

'''“Indian Camp”''' is a 1924 short story by Ernest Hemingway.

==Characters==
===Nick===
Nick is a young boy who goes on a trip with his dad to an Indian Camp. He has no idea of what he is going to encounter when he arrives because his father did not tell him where they were going or why. The story is based on Nick's experiences at the Indian Camp.

===Nick's father===
Nick's father is a doctor who goes to the Indian Camp to help a young Indian woman give birth to her baby. Towards Nick he is very caring and he seems to be a good father.

===Uncle George===
Uncle George goes along with Nick and his father to the Indian Camp. He doesn't seem to be as nice and caring as Nick's father. The narrator of the story gives the reader the impression that he doesn't have any sort of attachments, and shows up whenever he wants to. Textual evidence suggests that George might be the baby’s father.

===Young Indian Woman===
The young Indian woman has been in labor for two days. Her baby is not turned correctly and Nick's father, the doctor, must operate on her. The doctor performs a Caesarian with a joack-knife and then sews her up with nine-foot, tapered gut leaders. She is took weak to see her baby after it is born.

===Indian Woman's Husband===
The story in the textbook presents the husband as a helpless man who is deeply pained by his wife's screaming. He is unable to provide help which she needs. At the end, he cuts his own throat with a razor for some reason which never been known.(40)

===Native Americans===
They are described by their action of helping the white man when requires. There is no specific names for them in the story.(10,20)

==Metaphors==
Nick and his father set out for the Indian Camp during the nighttime and come back during the day. This is a [[metaphor]] for Nick not knowing what he is going to encounter and then coming out of the whole situation by learning a few life lessons. "Other metaphoric relationships (father and son, white man and Indian, middle-class and poor) serve important purposes in this compelling story"(34).

== Plot Summary ==
"Indian Camp" is a narrative about a child named Nick going on a journey to experience the aspects of life and death. Nick’s father has been requested to help an Indian lady who has been in painful labor for two days. His father takes his son, Nick, and his brother, George, to witness the birth of a child. The woman in labor is located on an island. She’s sheltered in a shanty, laying on a wooden bunk bed. The father delivers the baby in a horrendous way, causing suffering to the lady throughout the process. Afterward, the father discovers that the woman's husband committed suicide by slitting his throat. Nick witnesses the whole situation. During the journey back home, Nick asks his father questions about the incidents, and His father explains to him what happened. After the conversation, Nick begins to have the sensibility of bravery and immortality. He feels, “ that he would never die”.{{sfn|Sipora|2002|p=31}}

==Major Themes==
One major [[theme]] of this story is how Nick matured after he witnessed both life and death.{{cn}} He went into the camp as being a young inexperienced boy and came out being confused about death. The trip started out as just being a doctor with his son going into an Indian camp to deliver a baby. Not only does he learn about new life by watching the woman give birth, he learns that sometimes women go through great pain. Women can sometimes have difficulty having children. One of these reasons could be because the baby is not turned the correct way. His father explains to him that babies should be born head first and that when they are not it can cause trouble for everybody. [29]

While they were there, the baby's father committed suicide. Nick witnessed birth and death on this trip. He came out with questions about life and death he would have never had before. Although Nick did mature a great deal, he is still young and doesn't fully understand everything he witnessed. ". . .he felt quite sure he would never die"(31). Nick doesn't yet understand that everyone has to die at some point in their life.{{cn}}

Another theme of the story was how the doctor treated the Indians in the story. He was very caring towards Nick, but when it came to the Indians he acted as if they had no feelings. "But her screams are not important. I don't hear them because they are not important"(29). He didn't seem to care that he was in terrible pain and just continued with the surgery.

The point of a white doctor being called to aid the Indians helps push the notion that Western medicine had also advanced to the point that it's seemingly leaving Indian practices at the time obsolete.{{cn}}

There is also the father and son theme. The father have wish to educate his son, his son understood very well and also at the end asking questions instead of just receive his father's information." Do ladies always have such a hard time having babies, why did he kill himself Daddy, is dying hard?"(55,60)

== Plot Summary ==

Nick’s father has been requested to help an Indian lady who has been in painful labor for two days. His father takes his son, Nick, and his brother, George, to witness the birth of a child. The woman in labor is located on an island. She’s sheltered in a shanty, laying on a wooden bunk bed. The father delivers the baby in a horrendous way, causing suffering to the lady throughout the process. Afterward, the father discovers that the woman's husband committed suicide by slitting his throat. Nick witnesses the whole situation. During the journey back home, Nick asks his father questions about the incidents, and His father explains to him what happened. After the conversation, Nick begins to have the sensibility of bravery and immortality. He feels, “ that he would never die”.{{sfn|Sipora|2002|p=31}}

==Major Themes==
One major [[theme]] of this story is how Nick matured after he witnessed both life and death.{{cn}} He went into the camp as being a young inexperienced boy and came out being confused about death. The trip started out as just being a doctor with his son going into an Indian camp to deliver a baby. Not only does he learn about new life by watching the woman give birth, he learns that sometimes women go through great pain. Women can sometimes have difficulty having children. One of these reasons could be because the baby is not turned the correct way. His father explains to him that babies should be born head first and that when they are not it can cause trouble for everybody. [29]

While they were there, the baby's father committed suicide. Nick witnessed birth and death on this trip. He came out with questions about life and death he would have never had before. Although Nick did mature a great deal, he is still young and doesn't fully understand everything he witnessed. ". . .he felt quite sure he would never die"(31). Nick doesn't yet understand that everyone has to die at some point in their life.{{cn}}

Another theme of the story was how the doctor treated the Indians in the story. He was very caring towards Nick, but when it came to the Indians he acted as if they had no feelings. "But her screams are not important. I don't hear them because they are not important"(29). He didn't seem to care that he was in terrible pain and just continued with the surgery.

The point of a white doctor being called to aid the Indians helps push the notion that Western medicine had also advanced to the point that it's seemingly leaving Indian practices at the time obsolete.{{cn}}

There is also the father and son theme. The father have wish to educate his son, his son understood very well and also at the end asking questions instead of just receive his father's information." Do ladies always have such a hard time having babies, why did he kill himself Daddy, is dying hard?"(55,60)

"Babylon Revisited" is a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It first appeared in ''The Saturday Evening Post'' on February 21, 1931 but he wrote it in December of 1930.

==Characters==
===Charlie Wales===
Charlie Wales, 35, the story’s protagonist, has come to Paris from Prague to regain custody of his daughter, Honoria, from his sister-in-law.

=== Helen Wales ===
Charlie’s dead wife and mother of Honoria. Helen and Charlie shared a drinking problem during the course of their relationship. She passed away due to heart troubles because of a dreadful situation that happened with Charlie. She suffered with pneumonia when Charlie locked her out in a snowstorm, and inevitably died shortly afterwards.

===Honoria Wales===
Honoria is the daughter of Charlie Wales and his deceased wife, Helen. She is also one of the three children that live in the Peters' house.

===Marion Peters===
Marion is a tall woman with worried eyes. She is the sister-in-law to Charlie Wales and sister to the deceased, Helen. She is the antagonist who stands in the way of Charlie getting his daughter back, who she has full custody over.

===Lincoln Peters===
Lincoln is married to Marion Wales and shares custody of Honoria. He is sympathetic for Charlie wants him to be able to have custody of Honoria.

===Lorraine Quarrles===
Lorraine, “a lovely, pale blonde of thirty,” is a friend of Charlie’s from his past. She likely had an affair with Charlie.

She's a big part of Charlie's "bad habits."

===Duncan Shaeffer===
Duncan is a friend of Charlie's from college.

==Plot==
“Babylon Revisited” is about Charlie Wales attempting to correct his past and regain custody of his daughter. He has to overcome his drinking addiction and try to regain his wealth. He returns to Paris from Prague to try and convince his sister-in-law, who has custody of his daughter, that he had changed so that she would sign over custody of his daughter to him. Charlie has to stay from the bar and liquor to prove that he has changed. "The story shows that self motivation can take you a long way where you're on the road to recovery."

==Themes==
One [[theme]] of this story is Charlie's struggle to prove to everyone that he has overcome his drinking and partying habit. Some passages in the story indicate that he may not be over his drinking because when he comes back to town he goes straight back to the bar. "Charlie's charter seems to have an up and down roller coster effect."

==Comparisons To The Author's Life==
It is easy to see parallels between a piece of literature and the life of it’s author. This is made evident with F. Scott Fitzgerald and his essay “Babylon Revisited”. The essay is a story of money and family lost to alcoholism and the remnants of life left behind. As compelling a story as this is on it’s own, it becomes even more interesting with the knowledge that Fitzgerald experienced much of the same.

In “Babylon Revisited” Fitzgerald writes of a man who falls into a great deal of money, then spends without caution while in France with his wife. He becomes an alcoholic, the money is quickly lost, his wife dies, and custody of their young daughter goes to his late wife’s sister. All of this is given almost as an after thought, as the story picks up as the protagonist, Charlie Wales, comes back to America to reclaim custody of his daughter. It is not an easy task, as his sister-in-law, Marion, blames Charlie for the death of his wife. The overall theme of the story is living to regret misusing an extravagant lifestyle. By all indications, this is also the overall theme to Fitzgerald’s life.

In 1920 Fitzgerald married Zelda Sayre and they began a lifestyle of decadence. While he tried to gain credibility in the literary world, he was seen as too much the party boy. The couple had their first and only child, affectionately known as Scottie, in 1921. His drinking quickly escalated to the point of alcoholism. His wife also drank, but was not seen as an alcoholic. The couple fought quite often, being in a hostile state that was brought on by drinking. During their years together the couple spent their money too extravagantly, putting them in debt. The family went to France in early 1924, where he wrote The Great Gatsby. While there Zelda’s partying ways went too far: she had an affair. Though they stayed together, the marriage was irreparably damaged. She later suffered mental breakdowns and ended up spending her life in and out of asylums. Fitzgerald eventually moved out of his family’s home and rented a house for himself. He was not providing a good enough environment for his 14 year old daughter so she was sent to a boarding school. Another family, the Obers, took over caring for her. Fitzgerald kept up writing to her and kept a hand over her education. Fitzgerald died in a girlfriend’s apartment in 1940. Zelda died in a fire at a sanitarium in 1948.

The parallels are quite obvious between the protagonist’s life and that of the author -- spending beyond his means, drinking to excess, and losing his child to another family. Though Fitzgerald’s wife died years after his own death, it could be argued that the parallel between his life and the death of Charlie Wales’s wife comes when Zelda had her affair. While the guilt he may have felt over his wife straying is not known, it is known that after that affair the marriage had essentially ended. It suffered a metaphoric death.

In reading through the life of Charlie Wales, strong parallels are shown to F. Scott Fitzgerald’s life. The high times Charlie experiences are those of Fitzgerald’s. The losses of Charlie are Fitzgerald’s. And it is safe to assume that the guilt and crushing pain Charlie wrestles with throughout the essay is that of a broken man wishing to share his story with sympathizers in a weary world.

"Babylon Revisited" is a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It first appeared in ''The Saturday Evening Post'' on February 21, 1931 but he wrote it in December of 1930.

==Characters==
===Charlie Wales===
Charlie Wales, the story’s protagonist, has come to Paris from Prague to regain custody of his daughter, Honoria, from his sister-in-law.

=== Helen Wales ===
Charlie’s dead wife and mother of Honoria. Helen and Charlie shared a drinking problem during the course of their relationship. She passed away due to heart troubles because of a dreadful situation that happened with Charlie. She suffered with pneumonia when Charlie locked her out in a snowstorm, and inevitably died shortly afterwards.

===Honoria Wales===
Honoria is the daughter of Charlie Wales and his deceased wife, Helen.

===Marion Peters===
Marion is a tall woman with worried eyes. She is the sister-in-law to Charlie Wales and sister to the deceased, Helen. She is the antagonist who stands in the way of Charlie getting his daughter back, who she has full custody over.

===Lincoln Peters===
Lincoln is married to Marion Wales and shares custody of Honoria.

===Lorraine Quarrles===
Lorraine, “a lovely, pale blonde of thirty,” is a friend of Charlie’s from his past. She likely had an affair with Charlie.

===Duncan Shaeffer===
Duncan is a friend of Charlie's from college.

==Plot==
“Babylon Revisited” is about Charlie Wales attempting to correct his past and regain custody of his daughter. He has to overcome his drinking addiction and try to regain his wealth. He returns to Paris from Prague to try and convince his sister-in-law, who has custody of his daughter, that he had changed so that she would sign over custody of his daughter to him. Charlie has to stay from the bar and liquor to prove that he has changed.

==Themes==
One [[theme]] of this story is Charlie's struggle to prove to everyone that he has overcome his drinking and partying habit. Some passages in the story indicate that he may not be over his drinking because when he comes back to town he goes straight back to the bar.

==Comparisons To The Author's Life==
It is easy to see parallels between a piece of literature and the life of it’s author. This is made evident with F. Scott Fitzgerald and his essay “Babylon Revisited”. The essay is a story of money and family lost to alcoholism and the remnants of life left behind. As compelling a story as this is on it’s own, it becomes even more interesting with the knowledge that Fitzgerald experienced much of the same.

In “Babylon Revisited” Fitzgerald writes of a man who falls into a great deal of money, then spends without caution while in France with his wife. He becomes an alcoholic, the money is quickly lost, his wife dies, and custody of their young daughter goes to his late wife’s sister. All of this is given almost as an after thought, as the story picks up as the protagonist, Charlie Wales, comes back to America to reclaim custody of his daughter. It is not an easy task, as his sister-in-law, Marion, blames Charlie for the death of his wife. The overall theme of the story is living to regret misusing an extravagant lifestyle. By all indications, this is also the overall theme to Fitzgerald’s life.

In 1920 Fitzgerald married Zelda Sayre and they began a lifestyle of decadence. While he tried to gain credibility in the literary world, he was seen as too much the party boy. The couple had their first and only child, affectionately known as Scottie, in 1921. His drinking quickly escalated to the point of alcoholism. His wife also drank, but was not seen as an alcoholic. The couple fought quite often, being in a hostile state that was brought on by drinking. During their years together the couple spent their money too extravagantly, putting them in debt. The family went to France in early 1924, where he wrote The Great Gatsby. While there Zelda’s partying ways went too far: she had an affair. Though they stayed together, the marriage was irreparably damaged. She later suffered mental breakdowns and ended up spending her life in and out of asylums. Fitzgerald eventually moved out of his family’s home and rented a house for himself. He was not providing a good enough environment for his 14 year old daughter so she was sent to a boarding school. Another family, the Obers, took over caring for her. Fitzgerald kept up writing to her and kept a hand over her education. Fitzgerald died in a girlfriend’s apartment in 1940. Zelda died in a fire at a sanitarium in 1948.

The parallels are quite obvious between the protagonist’s life and that of the author -- spending beyond his means, drinking to excess, and losing his child to another family. Though Fitzgerald’s wife died years after his own death, it could be argued that the parallel between his life and the death of Charlie Wales’s wife comes when Zelda had her affair. While the guilt he may have felt over his wife straying is not known, it is known that after that affair the marriage had essentially ended. It suffered a metaphoric death.

In reading through the life of Charlie Wales, strong parallels are shown to F. Scott Fitzgerald’s life. The high times Charlie experiences are those of Fitzgerald’s. The losses of Charlie are Fitzgerald’s. And it is safe to assume that the guilt and crushing pain Charlie wrestles with throughout the essay is that of a broken man wishing to share his story with sympathizers in a weary world.
