Dante Inferno Vs Bosch Garden Of Earthly Delights
1,357 wordsThe concept of Hell is a powerful one to all who give pause to question an act of morality or sin. We are warned that choosing a path of debauchery may cause us to fall out of the holy grace of our omniscient God, leaving our afterlife to be one of pain, misery and suffering. These teachings are, though terrifying to some, generally vague- the specifics incomprehensible and distant. Hell is well known as simply unpleasant and hot, but could there be more to the legend than that? Both Dante Aligh...

Holy Sonnet Roman Catholic
1,228 wordsAs if Thou hadst sealed my pardon with Thy blood ends a poem written by a man torn between an obsession with death and a true understanding of the afterlife.

Act Iii Sc Act Iv Sc
1,277 wordsIn the play, "Hamlet", Shakespeare needed to device an evil character, a villain that is ambitious, and has the ability to scheme to get what he wants. The character would also have to contain some good qualities, such as kindness and contriteness. These good qualities make the character seem more human and thus, more believable. Claudius is this character. Shakespeare uses Claudius in his revenge theme in this play. Without the acts of Claudius, this theme just would not be. The entire play rev...

Ambitions To Commit Evil In Macbeth
638 wordsIn Shakespeare's play Macbeth, one could argue that Macbeth is motivated to commit his evil acts by three forces. For example, the witches in the play give him the first idea that he will be king. In addition, his own ambition starts to take over later in the play. Lastly, Lady Macbeth pushed and provoked him constantly to commit these evils. So even though Macbeth committed these acts, there was more influence then just his ideas. The three witches in the play are a pretty big influence on Macb...

David Hume Natural History Of Part 1
1,876 wordsDavid Hume's Natural History of Religion Warburton, disquieted by Hume's project, asked, "Would not the Moral History of Meteors be full as sensible as the Natural History of Religion?" (Livingston, 1976). Although he did not, presumably, expect an answer, we may nonetheless formulate one. Discounting revelation, Hume reasonably deduces religion's origins from two "natural" scenarios man in nature, and nature in man. The former, as we shall see, is man dramatically situated in a pre civilized se...
