Make My Life Closer To God

Job went through a very devastating time were his family and servants were all killed by a horrible wind, his cattle and camels were stolen from him, and he got sores from head to toe and was forced to scratch the sores with pieces of broken pottery as he sat among the ashes. That is pretty crazy and yet he never cursed God so he cou...

Analysis Of Dryden Antony And Shakespeare Cleopatra
1,056 words"Antony and Cleopatra is drama in the shape of chronicle, All For Love is drama in the shape of drama. " (Bailey 16) This quote simply sums up the reason why Dryden's play grasps the reader to finish his verse long before Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra. Obviously unable to take away from Shakespeare and his verse, Dryden makes up for his inferiority in verse in other ways. One example is his use of characters.

Both poems center on one central female from the bible, although one is identified as a Jew, while one is identified as furthering the lineage of Christ. Both poems give these women the power of choice, which they do not have in the typical biblical text. Both poems show the power of man as motivation over the power of God. Although there ...
