IN Gelett Burgess essay bromides nd sulphiteswhat devices he used to differentiate between bromides and sulphites?

Answer 1

the writer gives the examples of division of human being into two broad classes of bromides and sulphites.becky sharp is an imaginative and emotional character of thakeray's novel "vanity fair".her ideas and behaviour are unusual and she is a sulphite.Amelia sedley is another character of "vanity fair".She is common in behaviour and thinking.She is bromide.So in politics,the president Franklin D.Roosvelt(in 1930s)of US was a sulphite due to his unusual and orignal policies.on the other hand the president Herbert Hoover(before roosvelt) of US was a bromide due to his common policies.So in literature,Bernard shaw was a sulphite and Merie carelli was a bromide.Lewis caroll who wrote "Alice in wonderland",was a sulphite because he had very unusual ideas.Samuel jhonson,a orose writer, was a bromide due to his common thinking.We may note that a writer like Lewis may be having bromidic private life.Though he is sulphitic in his art.It applies to all fields of kife,activities and thoughts.
