In life we all struggle and search for happiness
and love. We are in a constant pursuit to find and
hold onto the things that we hold dear to
ourselves. This is much like the book The Odyssey.
Odysseus was on a search to find his way back to
the things that brought him peace and happiness.
The book was very much like our own lives and
though this supposedly happened hundreds of years
ago, this is the same journey we live through.

Flag Burning First Amendment
395 words
The first amendment says it's all right to express
one's opinions as long as that opinion doesn't do
any harm to others. Flag Burning, as the Supreme
Court declared it, is protected underneath the
first amendment whether you or I like it or not.
That is a fact. If the majority believes it's
unjust to this country then I suppose that they
come up with a new amendment to declare flag
burning unconstitutional. Until they do that, then
flag burning will remain legal. I am not saying
that burning our...

Lend Our Pity Influenced By Iago Desdemona

This question plagues the mind of a reader. In
reading fiction, ones first reaction is always to

who they can support, who they can side with. The
play, Othello poses quite a confusing collection
of possibilities for this. Shall we lend our pity
to the title character, Othello -- a valiant Moor
who is held in incredibly high esteem by all who
know him, yet is influenced by Iago to suspect his
wife, Desdemona of infidelity. Or should our pity

Romeo And Juliet Three Days
996 words
Impetuous actions can dramatically alter the life
of anybody in many ways. The lack of thinking
things through and acting solely on one particular
emotion can lead to unanticipated results. In
William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet,
Shakespeare shows how impetuous actions combined
with the need for lust can lead to a tragic end.
It wasn't fate but rather Romeo and Juliet's hasty
actions that brought their untimely deaths. Love
at first sight ultimately led to the premature
deaths of the two love...

Claudius And Gertrude Hamlet And Laertes
1,594 words
I do agree that the characters in this scene are
portrayed in a very ambiguous manner. At this
point in the play, many of the characters are
masking their real feelings; this is usually quite
apparent in their language and behaviour on stage.
The structure of the scene is an important feature
used to display the characters ambiguity,
especially with the characters of Hamlet and
Claudius. Only Hamlet is alone on the stage at any
one time, and is therefore the only character who
can express his tr...

Written Law Vs Unwritten In Antigone

In the play Antigone there is quite a difference
in opinion to whether Antigone's actions to go
