Wanted To Make Love And Lust
1,161 words
There were a lot of good movies to choose from. I
thought long and hard on which movie to choose.
Finally, I chose Cruel Intentions. I rented this
movie when it first came out on videotape and I
really enjoyed watching it. I guess I liked it
because it was taken place in my time and my
generation. Cruel Intentions is one of many movies
made based on the novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses
by Pierre Laclos. The movie stars Sarah Michelle
Gellar who plays Kathryn Merteuil. Ryan Phillipe

Lust For Power Lord Of The Flies
423 words
There is a Beelzebub in each man and woman of this
known society. It is "the fury and the mire of
human veins" (Dostoievsky 205). The author William
Golding sums this up in the quote, the "defects of
society can be traced to the defects in human
nature. " Golding presents this idea in the novel
Lord of the Flies. This premise is proven in the
savagery and the indolence that lies within the
boys of Lord of the Flies and within us all.
Savagery is very evident in the story of Lord of
the Flies. Th...

Conflict From Environmental Scarcity or Lust For
Wealth? In "Environmental Scarcities and Violent
Conflict, " Thomas F. Homer-Dixon writes about the
possible conflicts that are caused by
environmental scarcities, using three different
hypotheses's to do so. I found the first
hypothesis to be most compelling because I feel it
is the most prevalent in the world today. The

... specially a car), a game, war, or a reaction
to a physical force. Lakoff notes that a
particularly important fact about the collection
of metaphors used to understand lust in our
culture is that their source domains overlap
considerably with the source domains of metaphors
for anger. "The domains we use for comprehending
lust are hunger, animals, heat, insanity,
machines, games, war, and physical forces"
(Lakoff, 415). Here are some culture-specific
examples from Morrison's poetry: "For seve...

Antony And Cleopatra By William Shakespeare

Antony and Cleopatra by William Shakespeare
Cleopatra is by far one of the most interesting
characters ever developed by Shakespeare. She is a
beautiful woman that has various abilities,
however her main strength is her sexuality and the
ability to use it in order to dominate the
relationship with Antony. (Johnson, p. 83) In
order to better understand Cleopatra, it is
imperative that we elaborate on how she changed
Antony. In Shakespeare's Roman tragedy Antony and
Cleopatra, we are told the stor...

Threats Lust One

No Groove in the Gunsights Lars Kullberg Always
under the thumb of his dark mistress, the speaker
struggles beneath her power. Try as he may, he
will never be able to break the tie of lust
between the two. His threats are not threatening
to her, and he knows this. His power is beneath
hers, and he knows this as well. By threatening
his lover in the 140 th sonnet, the speaker is
merely admitting to his own helplessness to which
he is forever bound. This appears to be the first
sonnet in which he ...

Lust Pleasure Sin

The Definition Essay 2 Lust The inordinate craving
for, or indulgence of, the carnal pleasure which
is experienced in the human organs of generation.
The wrongfulness of lust is reducible to this:
that venereal satisfaction is sought for either
outside wedlock or, at any rate, in a manner which
is contrary to the laws that govern marital
intercourse. Every such criminal indulgence is a
mortal sin, provided of course, it be voluntary in
itself and fully deliberate. This is the testimony

Parts Must Die World Made Cunningly God

Donne s Holy Sonnet Five confronts multiple inner
spiritual and physical struggles while twisting
together the struggles between science and
religion. With the author claiming himself as a
little world, he uses the metaphor to tie together
both his physical and the spiritual struggles with
evil. The poem then becomes not just a personal
piece but a religious political one confronting
the new discoveries of the world. Donne s cunning
battle between himself and evil seems to reflect
nicely with hi...
