Venus And Adonis Comedy Of Errors
3,147 words
There is no documentary record of Shakespeare's
activities from the birth of the twins, in 1585
until Robert Greene's complaint about him as an
"upstart crow" in 1592. Biographers have therefore
called these the lost years. In fact, there is
nothing certain known about him from his birth in
1564 until 1592 except that he was married in
1582, fathered Susanna in 1583 and the twins
Judith and Hamlet in 1585, and probably attended
Stratford Grammar School. The lack of details has
not stopped author...

A book of mystery that kept me on the edge of my

the Baskervilles starring Sherlock Holmes was
wrote by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Dr. Watson, Dr.
James Mortimer, and Sir Henry Baskerville were the
main Characters of the book. The story was a
mystery, which took in place in London, and dealt
with a crime that Dr. Mortimer introduced to
Holmes, the expert in crime solving. There was a

Le Morte D'arthur The Chivalric Code
807 words
An act of chivalry is described as the
qualifications or character of the ideal knight.
Knights were expected to uphold this code of
conduct. In the English literature Le Morte
d'Arthur, French for 'The Death of Arthur', by Sir
Thomas Malory, the characters display acts of
chivalry from beginning to end. Though the code of
chivalry contains many qualities or acts,
nevertheless bravery, loyalty, and courtly love
are demonstrated more throughout this literature.
Bravery is the mental or moral stre...

If the play was based upon one single plot,
Twelfth Night would not have been as it is. It is
the linking of the various plots that really
completes the whole story and brings out the
nature of the characters and the connection
between them. The play starts with a major plot,
Orsino wooing Olivia. Orsino has been asking
Olivia to accept his love, but Olivia refuses it.
To woo Olivia, Orsino sends messengers to speak on
behalf of him. This is the reason why Viola is
dragged in the middle of this ...

Robert The Bruce William Wallace
1,491 words
William Wallace was born in a little town called
Elerslie, in Scotland, around January 1272. "He
was the second of three sons to Sir Malcolm
Wallace" (Waters). His mother taught him his basic
education, until he was six to seven years of age
(Chung). At this time and age, the second male son
of a family was obligated, by tradition, to obtain
education by a clergy member of a monastery, and
eventually become a clergy member himself. It is
unknown, by historians, how William averted this
tradition...

Sir Thomas Malory Sex And Violence
4,465 words
The Politics of Violence in Malory's Treatment of
the Arthurian Legend By focusing, ostensibly, on
sex and violence, Malory's rendering of the
Arthurian legend becomes something quite distinct
from the French originals. Roger Aschams complaint
that only bold barrie and open manslaughter, may
be found in the Works, seems to be well grounded,
but such a reading tends to neglect the authors
most essential themes. Why is violence such a
fundamental aspect of these tales? Malory's
interest in the Art...

Sir Gawain Green Knight
979 words
We live in an age where the brutality and the
vigilante justice of the knight errant is no
longer acceptable for people with positions of
stature in society. While courage and honor are
still praised by society, one rarely finds a man
true to his word regardless of cost. Chivalry
towards ladies is sometimes mistakenly decried by
those supporting equality for women. And Courtly
love, in its modern form, is frowned upon. Those
who might have a keen sense of justice often have
only indirect methods...

Part Of The Poem Second Part
1,132 words
Christabel by Samuel Taylor Coleridge is a poem
that precious itself of being ambiguous. This is
because, apparently, its author had conceived it
as a larger poem and said to have the complete
plot in mind. However at some point he gave up his
idea of writing it complete and published the
first two parts. The highlights of these two parts
is what I pretend to comment on inthe following
text. The thing that called my attention the most
about the poem is its vivid, if somewhat dark,
imagery. At th...

Sir Isaac Newton Robert Hooke

As a young boy at King s School in Grantham,
England, Isaac Newton was a poor student. His test
scores were well below average and were near the
bottom of his class. One day as he walked to
school a boy academically above him insulted and
kicked Isaac. This made Isaac angry, so he
challenged this boy to a fight after school.
Newton easily won the fight that afternoon, but
that was not enough. He had to do something better
to avenge himself. He decided he would beat the
boy academically as well. ...

Once Upon A Mattress is a perfect example of
