I have examined how the death of Hedda, in particular the location and reaction to it, utilises and manipulates convention to create drama and enable the audience to draw their own conclusion from the action. Word count: 1127 Save An Examination of the diametric display of pride in Sophocless Antigone When we look at the two characters, we can see the difference between a life and death of honor, and a life and death of shame

However, the people that had good reason to be very fearful were those who Stalin believed were a challenge to his position and one of the most common charges made against an arrested person was plotting to kill Stalin. Stalin, adhering to his policy of making the whole issue look legitimate, asked the Politburo for their support to purge the party so that certain elements could be removed

Alexandr Solzhenitsyn - Biographical
I served the first part of my sentence in several correctional work camps of mixed types (this kind of camp is described in the play, The Tenderfoot and the Tramp). The printing of my work was, however, stopped almost immediately and the authorities stopped both my plays and (in 1964) the novel, The First Circle, which, in 1965, was seized together with my papers from the past years
By focusing on one governmentally regulated day in the sentence of a political prisoner, Solzhenitsyn shows the weariness and tedium of the life of a labor camp inmate. What is so political about this novel? One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich was politically significant because of what it depicted rather than for the opinions it expressed

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes (Author of One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich)
Live with a steady superiority over life - don't be afraid of misfortune, and do not yearn after happiness; it is after all, all the same: the bitter doesn't last forever, and the sweet never fills the cup to overflowing. Do not pursue what is illusionary -property and position: all that is gained at the expense of your nerves decade after decade, and is confiscated in one fell night
One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich (Penguin Modern Classics): Amazon.co.uk: Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Ralph Parker: 9780141184746: Books
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Life-Denisovich-Penguin-Modern-Classics/dp/01411847442009Format: Paperback Now that Alexander Solzhenitsyn is remembered as a formidable opponent of Communism and the Soviet system, it is strange to think that "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich", which deals with the controversial subject of life in a Soviet labour camp, was first published (in November 1962) in an official literary magazine with the blessing of the Soviet authorities. After reading this book one is left in no doubt as to the horror of a life in Siberia's camps, or to the author's personal opinion of the state of the land of his birth
