Maggie a girl of the streets and Babylon revisited

Order Description

The prompt:

We’ve read several canonical texts in this class whose main characters feel isolated and lonely. “The Beast in the Jungle,” Maggie, “Babylon Revisited,” “The Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock,” “The Man Who Was Almost a Man,” and “The Swimmer,” for example, all feature non-participants in life, or they are at least portrayed as having longing for something other than what they have. Moreover, they feel a certain powerlessness to change their lives or to have lived any differently. Focusing at the most on two of these characters, explain what the authors might be saying about the American experience.

This is a general idea for the thesis statement of the paper

Thesis: In “Maggie” and “Babylon Revisited”, one can see how alcohol has affected both a wealthy and poor character and how both are lonely and long for something they cannot have.
