Dante’s Inferno
Dante Alighieri’s work, The Inferno, is a classic written in the 1300’s, which has become today’s Bible of Hell. This allegorical writing is connected by the theme of evil. In The American Heritage Dictionary, evil is defined as something that causes harm, misfortune or destruction, or something that is bad or wrong. Dante does understand the essential meaning of evil; however, he breaks up his view of evil into levels, which tells the reader that he believes that not all evil is the same, and each sin has a respective punishment. Although Dante’s interpretation is from the 1300s, his idea of evil is still manifest in today’s society.

Critical Essay on Crime and Punishment
“Crime and Punishment… is a novel not only about the extremes of evil the criminal inflicts on others, but also about people’s unlimited goodness, a goodness which can save the criminal.” Fyodor Dostoevsky’s protagonist in this novel, Raskolnikov, is greatly impacted by the encouraging sentiments of many of the other characters, which includes Pulcheria, Dounia, Razumihin, and Sonia. Additionally, Dostoevsky’s writing style includes the use of “doubles,” which ultimately portrays the two sides of Raskolnikov: good and evil. The aforementioned individuals are essentially Raskolnikov’s positive doubles whose love becomes Raskolnikov’s savior and eventually leads him to redemption as seen in the epilogue (Karyakin 111).
Research Paper: A Dolls House
One of the many influential writers of the nineteenth century includes Norwegian poet and playwright Henrik Ibsen. Among his major works, A Doll’s House was published in 1879; it is an eloquent and well-written play concerning the female protagonist, Nora and her dilemma with social standards and her husband. By means of his controversial and thought-provoking play, Henrik Ibsen effectively shows his view of the role of women in society through Nora’s break from a subordinate role, which ultimately exposes him as an advocate for women’s liberation (Clurman 152).
