Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1.0 (A), Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (Department for Applied Language and Culture Science), language: English, abstract: Introduction 'The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.' It was this quote from Ecclesiastes 7:4 that gave name to Edith Wharton's novel 'The House of Mirth.' Taking for granted that the author did not choose the title of her work deliberately, it surely might be interesting to have a closer look at why the author chose to name her work the way she did. Therefore, the world view and philosophy depicted in Ecclesiastes shall be inspected. Furthermore, it shall be analyzed whether and how the characters and the plot of the novel are affected by the ideas expressed in Ecclesiastes.
