Women And Girls James Joyce
1,259 words
... s, he finds it more and more difficult to
resist the temptations of his sexual urges. He
mentally defiles "with patience whatever image had
attracted his eyes" (p. 99) and turns those images
which had been innocent by day into cunning and
sinful images at night. His urges grow and become
so strong that Stephen is no longer able to resist
temptation and crosses that line into wretched
sinner. The next major step in Stephens
transformation is his visit to the prostitute. The
setting for this v...

Paul Ds Presence Significance Of The Number 124 Beloved
801 words
What is the significance of the number 124? Is the
number 124 merely a place or can it actually be
characterized as something more important in this
novel? In my opinion 124 is more significant than
a simple address. The number 124 can be
characterized as one of the main characters within
the novel. This number is not only significant
because it is the origin of the haunting character
of Beloved, but it is in fact Beloved the
character at various points within the novel. Once
the spirit of Belov...

Christian Science Monitor Forty Eight
1,046 words
During the twentieth century, premarital sex has
become an important issue. Sexual abstinence was
the normal society lifestyle until the late 1950
s. Most men and women would not have ever slept
with another person out of wedlock. While this
sexual abstinence lifestyle was in effect, a
mentality of independence struck the adolescence
of the United States. They felt as though they
must engage in sexual activity, just to defy
society's view of what was morally right. The
reason sexual abstinence i...

Bram Stoker Jonathan Harker
886 words
The aspect of Dracula that makes it so
frightening, as opposed to contemporary horror, is
that of the strong persona of Count Dracula
himself. For all of the terror he inspires, The
Count has few appearances in the novel, instead
using his mystique to frighten the reader. While
nearly all current books and films in the horror
genre focus on the aspects of violence and shock
appeal, Dracula uses the element of suspense to
captivate the reader. By using the element of
fear, Bram Stoker keeps the r...

Fate was a major factor in the life of pagan
cultures of any time period. This is well
documented in the epic poem Beowulf, in which a

win, not because of any free will. This is amply
demonstrated throughout the For instance, in line
20, the text states then Style departed at the

William Shakespeare. The story is set in
Elizabethan times, which was the sixteenth
century. People back then were quite prejudiced
towards any race that was not Christian. They
would have hated Jews. When Shylock would come
onto the stage, the audience would have just booed
him back off. The Christians had their reasons for
hating the Jews. The fact that they supposedly
killed Jesus still angers many people today.
Christians were resentful of their ...

Today Bassanio came up to me asking for my moneys.

in the repeating of his demands. Antonio is naive
risking his life hoping the ships will return. I
am clever because I am using this opportunity to

Antonio a good man and they both probably knew the

Tragedy treats human beings in terms of their
godlike potential, of their transcendental ideals,
of the part of themselves that is in rebellion
against the implacable universe and the frailty of
their own flesh and will. This quote is very
applicable to Hamlet in respect to his reverence
towards his father and his belief in the divine as
the guiding principle, Hamlets own character flaw,
Hamlets feelings of hopelessness over his own
flaw, and his view towards the pointlessness of
even existing. ...

133 - 164 is a passionate and startling passage
that strongly contrasts to the artificial dialogue
and actions that he portrays to his uncle Claudius
throughout the remainder of the play. This
soliloquy serves to reveal Hamlets melancholia and
the reasons for his despair in an outpouring of
anger, disgust, sorrow, and grief through which he

and miserable. He mourns the death of his father,

Oral Tradition Late Antiquity
2,076 words
Erroneous beliefs and preconceived ideas are a
lock on the door of the human mind; they have
proven to be very effective in keeping the truth
at bay. In the past, the belief systems of most
people were acquired directly from their parents
as they grew up. Countless generations clung to
their inherited beliefs with great tenacity,
vigorously promoting them as bequeathed truth. Yet
in the vast majority of cases, the origin of these
beliefs was not based on fact, but rather on
supposition or hearsa...
