Whether written centuries ago or just last year, literary couples show that love is timeless.
Harriet Jacobs
The concept of value and worth is one that presents itself every day as consumers rush to Starbucks to buy a five-dollar blended coffee before work or to purchase that seven-dollar juicy double-double meal at In-N-Out for lunch. The thought of owning another person seldom occurs to the average person, however, the idea of worth or value in employment is ever on the mind of the individual pursuing an education to ensure prestigious employment. In the 21st century the mere thought of slavery appalls us, yet, as American citizens, it is a part of the history of the United States. In her autobiography: Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, Harriet Jacobs specifies the sum paid for the purchase of her younger brother:

Fantasy:
For as long as I can remember, I have been devouring books. By the time I was ten I had already read Shakespeare, Dickens, Alcott, Wilde, Tolkien, Lewis, and the list goes on. The story that I recall with great detail from that time is the fairy-tale “The Selfish Giant” written by Oscar Wilde. I read it many times, along with a few of the other fairy tales, including “The Happy Prince” and “The Nightingale and the Rose.” At that young age, I was touched by these stories and would cry at the end every time. It wasn’t until I was an adult and read them again, that I could see the masterful imagery and profound meaning rich with religious principles and the opportunity for redemption.

Sor Filotea v Sor Juana
Catholic Guilt is the immense guilt felt by Catholics because of the immense weight of personal scruples placed upon each congregation member. This Catholic guilt is used to control people within the church to bend to the wills of the men in power within the church, regardless of whether or not these “issues” that the power-hungry men prey upon are discussed within the scriptures or not. Fernández, the man behind A Letter From Sor Filotea to Sor Juana Inés de La Cruz, uses congeries with increasingly hostile and damning diction to condemn his intended audience for her works. The tone becomes angrier and angrier as the letter continues while still reading civilly and polite behind the harsh metaphors.

Battle of the Henry's
Repeating names is nothing new when it comes to old English Classics. There are a handful of names that a writer is exposed to, in the 1800s you couldn't Google "unique baby names" to name your characters, so it's not surprising that we see a repetition of names in Jane Austen novels. One example of this is with the characters Henry from Northanger Abbey and Henry from Mansfield Park. And while the character's share a name, there is very little about their character that they share.

Nihilism and the pursuit of happiness
Just about everywhere you turn, nihilism is viewed as depressing. And I can completely understand why. Coining phrases such as “God is dead; and we have killed him, and he will remain dead.” It is fairly easy to see the dark of all of it. However, if all you look for is darkness, then that is all you will see. But we are not here for the dark of nihilism, we are here to find its balance.
