Fools And Foolishness In King Lear
1,659 wordsShakespeare's tragedy King Lear is comprised of many distinct themes. His contrasts of light and dark, good and evil, and his brilliant illustration of parallels between the foolishness of the play's characters and society allowed him to craft a masterpiece.

Head Of State Prime Minister
1,352 wordsAs with much of Britains unwritten constitution, the role of Prime Minister emerged by chance, owing more to the apathy of King George I (who couldnt be bothered attending cabinet meetings) than any kind of grand plan. He appointed a sycophantic Member of Parliament to attend cabinet meetings on his behalf. His name was Robert Walpole. Nearly 300 years later many traditions still remain. The monarchy is still the head of state de jure with Royal prerogatives necessary to rubber stamp any parliam...

Silas Marner The Rural Life
429 wordsThe life that could be lived in a village at 1861, which was so near of the time of the Industrial Revolution, is a simple life. People at that time were simple minded, and care most about their work. They do not understand much of their religion, as it is exemplified in the novel. We could see that when Mrs. Winthrop talks about that she does not understand much of what she hears or read on Sunday services, still she believes since her heart in relief to what it said. When Henry Austen analyses...

Good And Bad Good Examples

Rest Of The World State Of Affairs

One, America is one of those countries where people dont generally like those who are different than them (though politically, they pretend to). Two, pragmatically, an individual alone d...
