Gulliver's Travels - Gulliver's Crushed Spirit
Although Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift has
long been thought of as a children's story, it is
actually a dark satire on the fallacies of human
nature. The four parts of the book are arranged in
a planned sequence, to show Gulliver's optimism
and lack of shame with the Lilliputians, decaying
into his shame and disgust with humans when he is
in the land of the Houyhnhnms. The Brobdingnagians
are more hospitable than the Lilliputians, but

does and to shape the way man lives and acts, .

20 Th Century Lear And Cordelia
1,243 words
Many scholars consider King Lear one of
Shakespeare's greatest plays. This is because of
its power; it tackles all issues and is still
relevant today to the extent that it has been
called Shakespeare's play for the 20 th century.
King Lear is cathartic and a discouragingly
accurate portrayal of human nature. It shows us
altruism, selfishness, love, hate, stupidity and
understanding. It questions fate, the gods, our
purpose and how, why and what human nature is. It
is this, the sheer amount, and ...

... dancer. The goal of the dancer is to be able
to express freedom and spontaneity. Paradoxically
perhaps (at least for the Hobbesian who
understands only negative freedom), the dancer's
freedom of expression requires years of
disciplined practice and study. Again, the dancer
becomes ever more free to express his or her
ideas, feelings, etc. - the more he or she
undertakes the rules of long practice, proper
diet, etc. As another example: as drivers of
automobiles, we all share the same goal: we...

conformity through the plot and characters. During
