True Human Nature Symbols
930 words
The central theme in the novel Lord of The Flies,
by William Golding, is that all mankind is
inherently savage and the only aspect suppressing
mans primitive behavior is the moral influences of
civilization. It is society that holds everyone
together, and when rules, values, and consensus of
right and wrong are absent, a moral surrounding no
longer influences ones actions. Thus, values,
reason, and the basic understanding of morality
are lost, and the true essence of human nature is
revealed. Th...

Appearence vs Reality Possibly the best piece of
writing ever done by William Shakespeare, Hamlet,
is a classic example of a tragedy. In all
tragedies the hero suffers, and usually dies at
the end. Romeo and Juliet commit suicide, Brutus
falls on his sword, and like them Hamlet dies by
getting cut with a poison tipped sword. The theme
that remains constant throughout the play is
appearance versus reality. Things within the play
appear to be true and honest but in reality are
polluted with evil. ...

appearance as so, Inside the floating cloak he was
tall, thin and bony; his hair was red beneath the
black cap. His face was crumpled and freckled and
ugly without silliness (p. 20) Jacks original

Act 1 Scene Oedipus Rex

Wider Reading Assignment From your studies of
Macbeth show to what extent you think Shakespeare
followed and built upon the classical tradition of
dramatic tragedy. In this essay I will be
comparing the Shakespearian tragedy Macbeth to an
example of Greek tragedy, Oedipus Rex. The fall of
Macbeth is very different from that of Oedipus.
Macbeth's downfall is due to his own personal
decisions but in Oedipus case his downfall was due
to nothing but fate and the will of the gods and
so it was unavoi...
