How Power Corrupts Medea To Acts Of Vengeance
Euripides creates an effective representation of
the way power corrupts in his tragedy Medea. The
main character, Medea is led in the pursuit of
power because she is initially powerless, and the
oppression within which she lived as the wife of
Jason lent itself to her defined need to create
her own power. As a result, Medea is able to
achieve power, especially against Jason, but not
without an exorbitant cost: the lives of her two
sons. The pursuit o...

Manipulated The Minds Othello Suicide Iago
1,111 words
Iago's Self Perception The play, Othello, is a
play that we can read with a great deal of
understanding because we can relate it to our
society today. We often witness acts of racism,
gender bashing, evil people and suicides because
of poor self perception. In the play we see
examples of all of these. Othello's suicide,
Emilia's severe dislike for men and the constant
reference to Othello's colour are all examples of
the issues that I named above. The issue that I
find the most interesting is ho...

and philosopher of Socrates; and Theaetetus, a

One With Nature Wedding Guest
349 words
Does Coleridge agree with the interpretation of
the moral as given by the simple mariner, as seen
in the ending stanzas? After this terrific bout
with nature, and the deep messages which may be
derived, the mariner ends the poem by
simplistically saying that the moral is to just
love all things. Yet the wedding guest seemed to
get more from this, as he was stunned and brings
thoughts of this tale to the next day, a wiser
man. Perhaps all the narration shift has to do
with the fact that this simp...
