Anti-Transcendentalists in Rappaccini’s Daughter
Anti-Transcendentalist Literature In Rappaccini’s Daughter, the idea of obsession is very prominent. Obsession is well pronounced in society as well. But it is also unhealthy to be completely fixated on an object or another person. Transcendentalists agree that obsession is something that should be avoided, and stress the ideal of self-reliance. Nathaniel Hawthorne expresses his anti-transcendentalist philosophies by portraying nature as evil, creating characters that are not self-reliant, and by symbolizing complexity through the garden.

Antigone Sophocles' "Antigone" is pertinent for all ages and any individual who has experienced conflict can relate to the play. The essence and theme of this tragedy is personal conflict, with two extremely stubborn individuals locked in opposition. The problem is that neither Antigone nor Creon is willing to compromise.

Antigone is a Greek tragic piece that stresses the use of power and morality versus the law written by Sophocles.
