Plays An Important Role Played An Important Role
1,393 wordsBEHIND EVERY GOOD MAN IS A GREAT WOMAN Most ancient texts were written by men. It is important to remember this. The writers made sure that men were always the heroes, the powerful ones -- the important ones. Women always seem to lay in the background. However, we must not blame this solely on the writers.

The Feminine Psyche In Odyssey
692 wordsThe Odyssey has much to teach us about the feminine psyche. The feminine psyche is the way that the female mind and soul react to and process situations. Females are generally faithful, giving, and respectful to their mates. We have an insight into the feminine psyche in several things that Penelope does. The weaving and unweaving of the shroud and the test of the bed are two examples of the way Penelope thinks. She does what is thought to be her duty to her husband to resist the suitors and rem...

First Two Stanzas Stanza The Speaker
1,180 words'The Indifferent' by John Donne is a relatively simple love poem in comparison to his other, more complicated works.

Because of Donne's Christian background, this poem was obviously meant to be a comical look at values that were opposite the ones held by Christians. According to Clay Hunt, '['The Indifferent'] is probably quite an early poem because of the simplici...

It seems to me that the idea came first, and a story was found to fit it, or one was made up, but that the entire reason for the Book of Job to be included in the Bible is for its purpose in teaching us that we must endure what troubles we are gi...
