Man Of Great John Proctor
1,005 words
Often in true tests of moral character where
people are tempted to deceive, be dishonest, or
take advantage of each other, there are few who
truly succeed. The story of The Crucible gives one
of the strongest tests of morality, where the
truly ethical are punished and those of low morale
are free to live their lives. The Crucible very
well represents that when a situation is life or
death human decency crumbles rapidly. The Crucible
takes place in Salem, Massachusetts where religion

Poet Should Express 18 Th Century Nature
473 words
Ralph Waldo Emerson states in The Poet the
question, which is what is the poet? He says that
all men express their feelings, but what makes a
poet is that he has more ability to express his
own. For example, a poet would express the beauty
of nature well, while men who are less expressive
cannot give nature the worth it should be given,
related to reality of course. A poet would talk,
as well about the common wealth not his own
wealth. What is meant by that is that he does not
only convey his ow...

Gregor Samsa Gregor Life
778 words
In Franz Kafka's fanciful novel The Metamorphosis,
Gregor Samsa wakes up one morning to find that he
as been transformed into a beetle. As the story
progresses, we can see that Gregor's life as a
beetle is not all that different from Gregor's
life while in human form. Because of this we have
to ask ourselves Does Gregor Samsa qualify as a
human being? I believe that Gregor does not
qualify as a human being and had stopped being
truly human long before his metamorphosis. Writers
and philosophers ...

Rime Of The Ancient Mariner Kubla Khan

How does Coleridge in The Rime of the Ancient
Mariner and Kubla Khan show the interrelatedness
between mankind, nature and the poetic experience?
Coleridge expresses many thoughtful and rather
intense ideas in his poetry, through using either

ie human, environmental or supernatural. His
poetic expression is unique in its use of
extraordinary imagery and transition of mood yet

Social And Moral Values Of Society
1,094 words
Realism is the movement toward representing
reality as it is, in art. Realistic drama is an
attempt to portray life on stage, a movement away
from the conventional melodramas and sentimental
comedies of the 1700 s. It is expressed in theatre
through the use of symbolism, character
development, stage setting and storyline and is
exemplified in plays such as Henrik Ibsen's A
Dolls House and Anton Chekhov's The Three Sisters.
The arrival of realism was indeed good for theatre
as it promoted greater...

Lies In The Fact King Lear
1,125 words
Shakespeare's dynamic use of irony in King Lear
aids the microcosmic illustration of not only 16
th century Britain, but of all times and places.
The theme that best develops this illustration is
the discussion of fools and their foolishness.
This discussion allows Shakespeare not only to
portray human nature, but also to elicit a sort of
Socratic introspection into the nature of
society's own ignorance as well. One type of fool
that Shakespeare involves in King Lear is the
immoral fool. Edmund,...

Prince Of Cumberland Macbeth Realizes

The tragedy of Macbeth is an excellent example of
a divided man and a divided kingdom. As we follow
Macbeth through the course of this play we realize
that he is a wealth of indecision and as a result
of this lack of confidence suffers a bloody demise
fitting for the butcher he was. This indecision
leads him to do many things that would be
considered very impulsive and erroneous on his
part. He has a unique case of duplicity, and this
is what destroys him in the end. He is glad that
he is king b...

Madame Bovary: Destiny Destiny: the seemingly
inevitable succession of events. 1 Is this
definition true, or do we, as people in real life
or characters in novels, control our own destiny?
Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary exemplifies how
we hold destiny in our own hands, molding it with
the actions we take and the choices we make.
Flaubert uses Emma Bovary, the main character of
his novel, to demonstrate this. Throughout her
life, Emma makes many decisions, each one of them
affecting her fate an...

Martin Luther King Jr. s Letter from Birmingham
Jail was a pleasure to read, and the tension of
the civil rights movement during that time built
quickly. On rereading, I had time to admire Kings
strategies through the use of ethos, logos, and
pathos. On reflection, I was able to understand
and appreciate the way King expressed significance
of the civil rights movement. This letter is
unquestionable a work of art. It is not a simple
letter, because it reveals a lot and shows a range
of emotions, ...

Human Mind Love Song
1,180 words
Music was born in order for people to express
their inner most emotion of which language could
try to, but not fully describe. In having this
ability to express raw emotion, I believe music is
a form of language. Speech expresses passion only
by means of the ideas to which the feelings are
linked, as if by reflection. Musical sound and
gesture reach the heart directly without any
deviation... Music cannot be meta lingual, because
a song cannot say specifically what the language
in music is. I be...
