Bhagavad Gita N P
1,206 words
Khrishnas Teachings Khrishnas teachings in the
Bhagavad-Gita are very interesting. One of the
most amazing scenes describes the battlefield and
the dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna. I
consider this scene to be merely a symbolic
interpretation. First of all, the battlefield can
be compared with the battlefield of mind. The
actual story describes the events taking place on
Kurukshetra battlefield. This is the scene of
spiritual awakening taking place in the edge
between death and life, death an...

individual, typically female, needs in relation to
the need for compassionate and supportive

Sense Or Judgement Fortune Turns The Key Quot Fool
1,726 words
In the play King Lear there are many characters
and they all have their own roles. Some roles are
more obvious than others. The one that catches my
attention the most is the role of the Fool. In the
dictionary the definition of a fool is someone who
lacks sense or judgement. Does the Fool lack sense
or judgement? Or is he the opposite and everyone
just perceives him as a fool. These questions come
down into one ultimate question, was the Fool a
madman or a prophet. Personally I think that he

Question # 3: Consider the wisdom of King Lears
fool. Look closely at the interplay between Lear
and his fool and at the speeches of the fool,
which offer instruction to the king. Look for
connection the play makes between Lears fool and
the other fools in the play Cordelia, Kent, and
Poor Tom. King Lears fool is undoubtedly one of
the wisest characters in the play. He is not only
able to accurately analyze a situation which many
other characters are blind to, but he is also able
to foreshadow t...
