Christopher Marlow's Doctor Faustus was published in 1592, where a man sells his soul to Satan for power and knowledge. It is the theme of a Renaissance man that has the desire of acquiring unlimited knowledge, individualism, free play of mind, power and pleasure. The hero of the play is at the peak of his achievement and finishes with his collapse into misery, death and damnation. So, Doctor Faustus who pursues false knowledge is given the severest penalty in the form of mental disturbance and unrest through and till the end of his life. At last, he seems to repent and regret for his actions but it is too late. Mephistopheles gathers his soul and Faustus goes with him to hell.

Gray may, however, have begun writing the poem in 1742, shortly after the death of his close friend Richard West. In this poem Gray has changed the form of writing an elegy; it is the first elegy that mourns the death not of great or famous people, but of common men who remain unknown and unrecognized.

Gray may, however, have begun writing the poem in 1742, shortly after the death of his close friend Richard West. In this poem Gray has changed the form of writing an elegy; it is the first elegy that mourns the death not of great or famous people, but of common men who remain unknown and unrecognized. Gray also attempts to show that all 'the paths of glory lead but to the poverty is a blessing in disguise. If it does not allow people to rise higher, it also restrains them from doing evil, by limiting their power to do so. The rich, on the other hand, possess the power and means to do well to themselves and the world, but they also have powers to do mischief and bring destruction on innocent people.

Frost is a famous American Poet and his poems are mostly autobiographical in subject. During this period, when modern poetry is becoming more complex, Frost gets success using his poetic style with refined and simple language. He has been mostly influenced by the environment around him while composing his masterpieces. He uses different phrases and thrill in poetry. His central theme doesn’t concentrate on the typical rural life but on the dramatic conflict happening in the natural world. He expresses deep love and sympathy towards Nature and utilizes it to express his viewpoint and to make his verse fascinating. He thinks Nature is not only the source of pleasure, but also an inspiration for human wisdom. His poems contain symbolism, hidden meanings, sounds, rhyme, meter, metaphors a...

It is fully narrated in the first person and a time conquering master piece of Charles Dickens. In this novel, he touches on expectations in the life of diverse characters, the greatest of which being the expectation of Pip, the central character of the novel and also his moves from childhood to adulthood.

Dickens's themes include wealth and poverty, love and rejection and the eventual triumph of good over evil. The purpose of this study is to describe the writer’s view of capitalism and its consequences such as ending of family units, illn...
