1,268 words
The phylum Myxozoa falls under the domain Eukarya
and were traditionally thought of as protozoa.
Within the last two decades however more advanced
identifying techniques have led us to believe that
they are in fact metazoan's more closely related
to Cnidarians, but this will be discussed later in
this essay. There are approximately twelve
thousand species of Myxozoa, and it is believed

Point Of View Julius Caesar
1,428 words
In the play Julius Caesar, the tragedy of the play
was directed mainly at a one specific character,
Marcus Brutus. Brutus was the tragic hero of the
play, because of his idealistic and pragmatic
qualities. The mindset that Brutus possessed only
allowed him to see the world and its people from
one point of view. This point of view allowed him
to make judgments that assumed only the best of
people. This tragic weakness resulted in many
errors throughout the play. The major incidences
such as decis...

Amontillado, presents the compelling drama of two
men. Montresor, one of the two men, will stop at
nothing to get the revenge that he deems worthy of
from Fortunato. The other man, Fortunato, his own

his reason for telling about it. I believe that

Hamlet A Man Of Delay Or Action

... him in his quest to avenge his fathers most
foul death. Although feigning madness does buy
Hamlet time in his quest for revenge, he is still
restrained from killing Claudius for many reasons.
If one is going to truly understand why Hamlet did
not delay, it is necessary to explore these
reasons and discuss them fully. First of all, the
ghostly apparition gave Hamlet three tasks, all of
which that can be completed in two simple actions:
killing Claudius and sparing Gertrude from pain.

The Grave Tragedy Of Oedipus King
621 words
Tragedy is one of the most prevalent forms of
drama produced around the world. There are certain
criteria that a drama has to follow in order for
it to be characterized as a Tragedy. The criteria

used today. It includes having a tragic hero,
hamartia, peripeteia, a plot consisting of a time

Act Ii Sc Act I Sc

In Shakespeare's play The Tempest, the cast of
characters are squeezed into some archetypal
roles. Prospero is our noble hero, Miranda is the
beautiful maiden, Antonio is the closest thing we
have to a villain. It's our temptation as readers
to categorize these characters as roles and not as
people, perhaps out of convenience. However,
Shakespeare gave his creations the gift of humor,
a tool that allows us to see the subtle details of
their minds; A glimpse at the inner workings of a
character's...

exaggerating their worst. Both fall victim to
'vaulting ambition', pride and greed, tempting
them to acts of treason and betrayal of friends,

Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales

Brothers Grimm The popular perception of brothers
Grimm describes them as children's entertainers,
who strived to instill young kids with the sense
of conventional morality. But the truth is that
amusing children was the last thing on brothers'
mind, when they researched medieval German
folklore and decided to use it, as a base for
their fairy tales. Their foremost task was to
preserve German cultural heritage. The form of
fairy tales was chosen because it suited the best

EXPLICATION The Doubt of Future Foes by Queen
Elizabeth I The doubt of future foes exiles my
present joy, And wit me warns to shun such snares
as threaten mine annoy. For falsehood now doth
flow, and subject faith doth ebb, Which would not
be, if reason ruled or wisdom weaved the web. But
clouds of toys untried do cloak aspiring minds,
Which turn to rain of late repent, by course of

18 Th Century Russia Experienced Peter

How absolute were the 18 th Century Tsars? When
asking how absolute a monarch is, we need to pay
attention to the groups of people that surround
that monarch. The aristocracy, the church and the
army all played an important part in the running
of an 18 th century state, and without the support
of these powerful elites, it is arguable whether
or not the monarch in question would have had the
opportunity to be absolute at all. At the
beginning of the 18 th Century Tsar Peter the
Great was in power...

fantastic nations that exist only in Swifts own
imagination. However, as Gulliver journeys to
these new places, his attitudes about the state of
man and his morals gradually change. In every

mankind that makes...

How is evil explored in the Play Macbeth. A dark
night and a dark place are both symbolic of
