Sample essay Introduction to the novel Dimming the lights and excerpt The overflowing water
A splendid demonstration of the novel Introduction and an excerpt from the story The Breaking Point
'The Breaking Point' stands as a quintessential novel by Ngô Tất Tố, a notable figure in pre-August Revolution Vietnamese literature.
With 26 chapters, Chapter XVIII represents the pivotal clash between peasants and oppressive landlords in the village. Through 'The Breaking Point' (an excerpt from Chapter XVIII), Ngô Tất Tố paints a vivid picture of contemporary society, a society rife with brutality and repulsiveness.
In just a few pages filled with stark realism, 'The Breaking Point' passionately condemns the cruel and ruthless feudal society, culminating in a scene where Mrs. Dậu topples the tyrannical landlord and the weak-willed village official. The author also expresses profound sympathy for the plight of the oppressed peasants, exemplified by Mrs. Dậu.
