Bust Of Pallas Roman Mythology
1,307 wordsThe Meanings of the Raven Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven employs a raven itself as a symbol of the torture, mainly the self-inflicted torture, of the narrator over his lost love, Lenore. The raven, it can be argued, is possibly a figment of the imagination of the narrator, obviously distraught over the death of Lenore. The narrator claims in the first stanza that he is weak and weary (731). He is almost napping as he hears the rapping at the door, which could quite possibly make the sound something...

Shakespeare Othello William Shakespeare
1,296 wordsOften in our society people are labelled as, or fit into a, certain character mould and their behaviour and actions remain consistent.

Quot V Takes Responsibility
1,237 wordsWilliam Shakespeare presents an excellent leader but a poor reasoner in Othello. The eponymous hero has strength, charisma, and eloquence. Yet these ideals of leadership do not bode well in real world situations. The battlefield and Senate are, at least in Othello, depicted as places of honor, where men speak truly. In addition, the matters of war and state are relatively simple; no one lies to Othello, all seem to respect him. He never even has to fight in the play, with the enemy disappearing ...

However, during my more lucid moments of understanding (which I like to believe outweigh the moments of stupor hood), I see his point on a variety of levels. Nietzsche s writings on the subject are loaded with meaning; he purposely leaves his words wide open to interpretation. Just how we absorb Nietzsche s ideas on the subject of Go...
