Feels Guilt Husbands Death
1,175 words
I wrote my paper on The Story of an Hour by Kate
Chopin. On the following pages, you will read
about a character by the name of Louise. She was
married at a time when marriage was not about
mutual love. When she hears of her husbands death,
she feels sorrow but is overcome with feelings of
joy. Louise has found a freedom that she had
forgotten she had. Louise is so excited to live
her new life until tragedy happens again. I
believe that Louise is a likeable character
because she brings so much d...

Man And Superman Bernard Shaw
1,142 words
Oftentimes in literature an author will use his
works as a means for the expression of views. It
then becomes the job of the reader to find those
views and make an attempt to understand them.
George Bernard Shaw is a playwright who layered
his plays with opinions and social commentary. It
is these views that present themselves after a
close reading in which the reader feels he has
read more than a play. In his classic work Man and
Superman Shaw attempts to further his opinions
both sublimely and...

1,954 words
In the play Antigone, there is a conflict between
Creon and Antigone over which law to obey in
regards to Antigone attempting to bury her
brother, the law of the state or Gods laws. It is
a conflict between a human law and a higher law.
Antigone believes in following Gods laws, even if
it means breaking the law of the state, a law set
by Creon which states that Antigone's brother
Polyneices is not to have a burial and no one is
to touch him. Antigone believes that it is Gods
law that she should ...

Merchant Of Venice Love At First Sight
953 words
In Merchant of Venice, William Shakespeare brings
two people together in love, Portia and Bassanio.
Portia and Bassanio are alike by their love, their
own friendship, and the caskets that brought them
together. But when this ring parts from this
finger, then parts life from hence: O, then be
bold to say Bassanio's dead! (II, ii). Bassanio
and Portia are madly in love with each other, and
you can tell by what they say. William Shakespeare
proves this. Comparing Portia and Bassanio as
lovers is ra...

Horse Dealers Daughter Rocking Horse Winner
1,304 words
Conventions are commonly known as a customary
feature of a literary work such as the use of a
chorus in Greek tragedy or an explicit moral in a
fable. They are found in stories, plays, essays,
poetry, and movies. Conventions are found
frequently in Shakespeare's Hamlet, Taming of the
Shrew, and Othello. They are also detected in D.
H. Lawrence's The Horse Dealers Daughter and The
Rocking Horse Winner, and lastly in Henrik Ibsen's
A Doll House. These literary devices all grasp the

Women And Men Married Couples
1,365 words
Couples today are less sure about the rationale
for having children. In former times (and in many
non-western cultures today), children were seen as
playing an important role in the continuance of
family. Children may have been needed for kinship
ties, to work on the family business, to look
after parents in their old age, or to safeguard an
inheritance. Presently, in Western society, the
economy and the interests of industry have
generally taken precedence over parenting and the
interests of fa...

Sexual Assault Sexual Gratification
621 words
Some ask why prostitution spreads like a wildfire
through our cities and streets. This is an easy
question for functionalists, prostitution
flourishes because it satisfies sexual needs that
are not able to be met elsewhere (Henslin 51).
Prostitutes almost seem to serve as an outlet for
sexually frustrated men. When a man is unable to
find a partner he always holds the option of
paying for sexual pleasure. A functionalist,
Kingsley Davis, concluded that prostitutes provide
a sexual outlet for men...

World A Better Place Garden Of Eden
675 words
The movie Pleasantville is a clear parable to the
Bible's description of the Garden of Eden.
Pleasantville portrays complete innocence amongst
its population. Complete innocence that is, until
David Wagner betrays the TV repairman (God) and
begins to change the world of Pleasantville along
with his sister Jennifer. Like the film, the Bible
portrays humans as sinners by consequence. The
movie also brings out the question of whether or
not there is one true "garden of Eden" for
everyone, or if we ...

Golden Fleece Important Theme
525 words
"Love and Deception" There are many pieces of
literature that may entail more than one theme
throughout the story. The tragedy, Medea, by
Euripides is very good example of this. Throughout
this story, the themes of betrayal and love,
revenge, and women's rights arise. Euripides
brings these points up to help the reader to
realize that women are powerful also. Betrayal is
a very important theme throughout this story. Her
husband Jason betrays Medea, when he abandons her
and her children for anoth...

Coming Times World Change Crises

Our ancient habit is to stumble backwards into the
future. We feel that we as individuals make little
difference, as if history and the future just
happen at us. Obscure plans, which have guided
people forward in the past, have now rendered
themselves useless. There are no known maps to
show pathways into the future. We " ll need to
consider back to our hearts, common sense and
basic human capabilities. We " ll need to consider
the deep issues at stake and make deep choices
about them. This idea...

Blanche Ingram Jane Eyre
691 words
Blanche Ingram: Villain? Blanche Ingram is the
most important woman, other than Jane Eyre, in the
novel. Arguably, she is the most important
antagonist in this book. It is difficult to fathom
how an absolutely horrid, conceited, venal,
apathetic creature could be so vital to the book;
but take her away, the motivation, conflict, and
character itself crumbles. Consider this synopsis:
Jane Eyre has not yet come to terms with her love
with Mr. Rochester. Mr. Rochester is so infatuated
with Jane tha...

Make Up Art Cosmetics

Make-up Art Cosmetics, also known as M. A. C.
cosmetics is a highly unique corporation. Its
founders and business strategies are rather simple
yet extremely effective in contributing to the
companies success. The company does not use any
fancy business schemes and it is truly concerned
with its consumers. In the beginning, the company
struggled to get started, but now a multimillion

Tale Of Two Cities King Of France

The French Revolution, in the novel A Tale of Two
Cities written by Charles Dickens, is described
throughout the novel as a force of nature; the
revolution came progressively but indubitably
sweeping over an entire region with cries of
passion, as like rain, and hazardous conditions
brought forth from it, as like a storm. This theme
weaves itself into the novels setting and time
period from the initiation of the oppression of
the poor by the French aristocracy to the Reign of

Secondary Qualities Primary Qualities

As man progressed through the various stages of
evolution, it is assumed that at a certain point
he began to ponder the world around him. Of
course, these first attempts fell short of being
scholarly, probably consisting of a few grunts and
snorts at best. As time passed on, though, these
ideas persisted and were eventually tackled by the
more intellectual, so-called philosophers. Thus,
excavation of the external world began. As the
authoritarianism of the ancients gave way to the
more liberal v...

Carpe Diem T C

The Picture of little T. C. in a Prospect of
Flowers depicts several seemingly unrelated
events, which are drawn together by an underlying
allegory. In the beginning of the poem T. C. , a
beautiful young woman, is found at the morning of
her life in a bed of flowers. Next T. C. is
described conquering men with her chaste charms.
As the poem progresses, Marvell brings himself in
to the poem and hints towards its allegory: let me
in time compound where I may see thy glories.

Center Of Attention P 33
829 words
In Persuasion, Jane Austen presents her dislike of
the English gentry by pointing out the flaws of
her characters, which are representative of the
class. Mary Musgrove, daughter of Sir Walter,
sister of Anne, and wife of Charles personifies
these flaws, and is thus the object of Austen s
contempt. Through tone, comparison with Anne,
syntax, and irony, Austen portrays Mary as a
self-absorbed, uneducated, mean, self-pitying
person. Austen s biting tone towards Mary and Mary
s own words reveal her ...

F Scott Fitzgerald Great Gatsby
432 words
Gatsby s Greatness There is much controversy on
why F. Scott Fitzgerald chose his masterpiece to
be title The Great Gatsby. Fitzgerald chose The
Great Gatsby as the title to show the duality of
how the central character of Jay Gatsby is great
in trying determinedly to achieve his goal of
Daisy, but how his greatness brings about his own
downfall. Gatsby is, at first glance, truly great,
for he pursues his dream of Daisy relentlessly.
