... d warming of climate where there is an
increase in the growth of plant material and plant
foods. This change would have promoted a growth in
subsistence farming, at the very least. This would
have increased the amount of plant carbohydrates
and thus there was an increase in the occurrence
in evidence of caries. Again in the Mesolithic
there is further warming in the surrounding
climate to the point where an even greater amount
of plant food harvest is attainable for human
consumption. Frayer...

Poe And His Haunting Grotesque Theme
1,264 words
In Websters New World Dictionary, fear is defined
as anxiety caused by a real or possible danger,
pain, etc. Some words found in the thesaurus are
fright, terror, horror, panic, dread, and dismay
just to name a few. In his stories Edgar Allan Poe
does an excellent job of engulfing the reader into
a fear that he creates with nothing but words.
Something that is very difficult to do in this day
and age. For his time no one was better at it.
There was no pulsation. He was stare dead. His eye

... earch now questions the validity of those
tests. No other artifact has received as much
scientific focus as the Shroud and yet it remains
a mystery. Some believe it to be a medieval hoax,
yet the Shroud image and all of its uniqueness
cannot be duplicated by any known physical
process. Although carbon dated to the Middle Ages
it seems even more incredible that someone from
that era could have artificially produced this
remarkable image which has defied a scientific
solution. Public interest ...

Mortals Without Suffering Mortals Without Suffering And Disaster Antigone
534 words
Nothing of magnitude comes into the life of
mortals without suffering and disaster. This
deeply pessimistic statement by Charles Segal sums
up the theme of tragedy in Antigone. This play is
truly the example that nothing comes into the life
of mortals without suffering and disaster; there
are many significant events occurring, none of
which stem from prosperity or success. All of the
characters are affected by these tragic events,
because agony, adversity, and distress are
conditions of humanity...

Proper Burial Character Flaws
728 words
There are many critical mistakes that one can make
that have the potential to ruin your life, or
possibly take your life. Both William Shakespeare
and Sophocles both portray their protagonists
character flaws through the critical mistakes they
make in their plays Othello and Antigone. In
Shakespeare's play, Othello is a noble general who
is well-respected by everyone around him. He is
happily married to Desdemona. In Sophocles play,
Creon is also in a position of nobility, being the
king of Theb...

Divine Laws Driving Force
1,820 words
In the play Antigone, Sophocles poses many
different themes and moral lessons. The specific
component I would like to focus on is selfishness
and its effects. Through the characters various
actions and ultimate fates, Sophocles teaches us
that selfish, self-serving motives lead to
destruction, loneliness and loss. Two characters
that exemplify the consequences of selfishness are
Creon, the King, and Ismene, Antigone's sister.
Antigone, of course, being the heroin of the story
reinforces this les...

Death And Burial In Ancient Egypt
1,106 words
To every Egyptian death was seen as a desirable
transformation, the passage of the true eternal
life (Guide to The Valley of The Kings page 159,
1996). Death in no instance was considered a
tragedy or an end but as a welcomed transition
into the Afterlife. As death was of such an
importance it was necessary that great care be
taken for a smooth transition to immortality, this
is a major reason that the Pharaohs contents of
the tomb were of such importance. Egyptians
emphasis on the importance of...

Burying Her Brother Bury Her Brother
1,756 words
It takes a lot of courage to stand up and defend
an action or idea that is forbidden by society.
This is what Antigone does in Sophocles's tory
Antigone. She clearly disobeys King Creon's order
that no person should bury Antigone's brother,
Polynices, which is punishable by penalty of
death. In this case, though, is Antigone's
decision the correct one? Her actions affect many
of her other countrymen negatively; they cause
problems within the royal family, disagreement
among the people and direct...

A seafaring society already thousands of years old
when Europeans still believed the world was flat,

age-old conflict between the requirements of human
and divine law. This problem is shown in the
dispute over the burial of Polynices, in which
King Creon´ s understanding of political
laws is opposed to Antigone´ s religious
duties and beliefs. The positions of Antigone and
Creon are conflicting, but both retain the same

Creon as Antigone's Tragic Figure In Sophocles
Antigone, Creon clearly fills the role of the
tragic figure. He fits all seven of the traits of
a tragic hero as defined by Northrop Frye. Two of
these traits stand out especially; Creon s sense
of commitment to his decision and his
transfiguration after suffering the consequences
of his actions. Creon s decision to outlaw
Polyneices s burial sets the stage for the tragedy
that ensues. He regards Polyneices as an enemy of
Thebes and sees no reason t...

Edgar Allan Poe House Of Usher
1,663 words
Throughout the writings of Edgar Allan Poe, it is
common to see a trace of gothic themes in each of
them. This common ground can attributed to the
life Poe led growing up all the way to the later
years of his forty year old life. In may cases in
his life, Poe experienced grief and anguish in
many instances, which gives insight as to why Poe
chose to write about death and torture, things he
felt he experienced in his dreary life. Poe wrote
in many formats: short story (tale), poems, and
also crit...

Burial by Robert Frost is the miss understanding
between a husband and a wife. The wife can t
handle the way that her husband has dealt with the

Life And Death Cycle Of Life

When a loved one dies, it is common for the
mourners to immerse themselves in their particular
religious traditions. From Buddhism to
Christianity to Hinduism, dealing with death and
the existence or nonexistence of an afterlife is a
fundamental issue that ties people to their
faiths. Often the rituals and traditions
surrounding death offer insight into other parts
of the religion. Blu Greenberg writes in How to

King Khafre Seated Egyptian art is infamous across
the world classified by the monumental pyramids,
and the Sphinx. Although these are both valid
forms of Egyptian art, they do not make up the
entire artistic history of the country. On the
contrary, perhaps the most replicated example of
classic Egyptian art, from the Old Kingdom, can be
found in their rendering of the human form. An
interest in portraiture developed early in Egypt.

Poe Edgar Allan Cask Of Amontillado
2,637 words
Poe is a very complicated author. His literary
works are perplexed, disturbing, and even
grotesque. His frequent illnesses may have
provoked his engrossment in such things. In 1842
Dr. John W. Francis diagnosed Poe with sympathetic
heart trouble as well as brain congestion. He also
noted Poe's inability to withstand stimulants such
as drugs and alcohol (Phillips 1508). These
factors may have motivated him to write The
Tell-Tale-Heart, The Cask of Amontillado, and The
Black Cat. All of these stor...
