Good Leader Home Base
1,311 words
The transition of power is about to take place.
The old leader, looking worn and weary speaks of
all the year has meant; thanks the many who have
helped. There is measured applause and the old
leader shakes the hand of the new leader. As
practiced words are spoken outlining the vision
for the following year, neither leader's attention
is on the words. The departing leader feels
renewed, relieved and saddened at the same time.
The new leader has moments of self congratulation,
self doubt and terr...

Divine Intervention In Odyssey And Oedipus
1,601 words
Divine Intervention in Odyssey and Oedipus When
one ponders the Greek mythology and literature,
powerful images invariably come to mind. One
relives the heroes's truffles against innumerable
odds, their battles against magical monsters, and
the gods' periodic intervention in mortal affairs.
Yet, a common and often essential portion of a
heroic epic is the hero's consultation with an
oracle or divinity. This prophecy is usually
critical to the plot line, and also to the well
being of the main cha...

True Identity Twelfth Night
506 words
Twelfth Night: Two Faces, One Mind As in most
comedies, William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night
extensively uses disguises, masks and mistaken
identities to add to the comical nature of the
play. Violas disguise as Orsino's page, Cesario,
becomes crucial to the action in the play. Without
this important element, the action in the play
would slow down dramatically, making the story
much less intriguing. In addition to making the
play less interesting, the disguise is also
necessary to develop the sto...

government set to call an election in late May or
early June the Party was very reluctant to rock
the boat further. This is what they have done in
the 1997 budget and the subsequent reactions to

Cruel Punishment People Punished

The Cruel Punishment Cruel Punishment The common
practice of early Americans that seems most alien
to me is that of human punishment. During the
seventeen and eighteen hundreds, the way people
were punished was savage and crucial. Those who
punished others for a crime, seemed to take
matters in there own hands and give punishments
that were truly too harsh compared to the crime
committed. One of the areas in which such
punishment was greatly visible was in the slave
institutes. Masters would tre...

Play King Lear Tragic Play
1,405 words
King Lear Is Man No More Than This? In literary
works, critics often argue various points of view.
Such is true in the tragic play King Lear written
by Shakespeare. W. F. Blissett looks at the role
of recognition in the play, and considers the
difference, in that respect, between the main plot
and the subplot. The second critic states that the
play contains questions that are greater than the
answers, and that, because the imbalance of life
mirrors that, man is always insecure. Even though
I agr...

Subsequently Tricks Roderigo Perfect Villain Created Iago's

The character of Iago is of extreme and pivotal
importance to the play as a whole. His character
is brilliantly defined, giving him a quality that
other characters in the story do not possess.
Iago's ability to project a conflicting quality or
emotion to the other characters enables him to
exploit them. It is this quality that Shakespeare
bestows on his villain which enables him to
dictate the plot so brilliantly. It is due to the
interdependence of the plays characters that
Othello allows indiv...
