The Effects Of Sin Upon Arthur Dimmesdale
769 words
The most observable reason for his eventual
breakdown is the fact that he keeps his sin a
secret. Arthur Dimmesdale's sin was the same as
Hester's, except he never confessed. "As God's
servant, it is his nature to tell the truth, so
the years of pretending and hypocrisy were
especially hard on him. " (Bloom 28) Dimmesdale
also believes that his sin has taken the meaning
out of his life. His life's work has been
dedicated to God, and now his sin has tainted it.
He feels that he is a fraud and is ...

Role Of Women Hamlets Actions
592 words
Hamlet Role of Women For many years in the past
women played a small role socially, economically,
and politically. As a result of this many works in
literature were reflective of this smaller role of
women. In Elizabethan theaters small boys dressed
and played the roles of women. In contrast to this
trend, in Shakespeare's Hamlet the women in the
play are driving factors for the actions of many
other characters. Both Gertrude, Hamlets mother,
and Ophelia, Hamlets love, affected many of the

uncertainties relating to different issues behind

Hamlet. One question in particular is, did Hamlet

Thane Of Cawdor King Of Scotland

Macbeth's nonchalant attitude towards the
prophecies from the three witches foreshadows his
downfall through his hubris in Shakespeare's
Macbeth. Upon meeting the three evil witches,
Macbeth learns of his opportunity to gain higher

Cawdor! / All hail Macbeth, that shalt be king

Mark Twin was a morally disturbed man, and in that

morals of the Christian life that he proclaims to
lead, and his views of God differed greatly from
those of the accepted views of that time. He
viewed God as something to be found in nature and
in the good of man, but not as an initiate that
exists as our maker and savior. He also believed
in many of the superstitions of the time, and
spiritually combined both superstitions and facts
of God into...

Makes It Clear Ahab

The moral ambiguity of the universe is prevalent
throughout Melville? s Moby Dick. None of the
characters represent pure evil or pure goodness.
Even Melville? s description of Ahab, whom he
repeatedly refers to monomaniacal, suggesting an
amorality or psychosis, is given a chance to be
seen as a frail, sympathetic character. When Ahab?
s monomaniac fate is juxtaposed with that of
Ishmael, that moral ambiguity deepens, leaving the
reader with an ultimate un clarity of principle.

Male Domination Love Potion

The dynamics of man s dominance over women are
examined in a variety of ways in A Midsummer Night

evidence in support of this theme. Lions, bulls,
donkeys, and other animals symbolic of masculinity
and virility surface as examples of male power.
The moon becomes symbolic for women and all-female
societies such as the Amazons, nuns, and Helena

with the dominance of man. The play s final act,

Masters Mistress Love Cesario

In Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, it is clearly
evident that the fluctuation in attitude to the
dual role and situation and tribulations imposed
upon the character of Viola/Cesario ends up in a
better understanding of both sexes, and thus,
allows Viola to have a better understanding for
Orsino. Near the opening of the play, when Viola
is adopting her male identity, she creates another
self, like two masks and may decide to wear one or
the other while swinging between the two densities

Women Contribute to Their Own Misogyny Although
society has advanced dramatically technologically,
I feel that we still have a long way to go when it
comes to how we view one another. It amazes me
that in a society such as ours, that bases its
existence on the equality of all people, that
misogyny (as it occurred in medieval times) still
takes place. A timeless example of misogyny is the
objectifying of women, which suggests that a
womans sexual beauty is her only worth. In dealing

two sonnets shared similarities and yet contained
many exciting differences. The clear similarity is
that they are both about two women. He loves both
of them very much. It seems that they make his

long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Why Does Desdemona Marry Othello? In the last
scene of Othello, Desdemona recovers long enough
from the smothering that her jealous husband has
inflicted upon her to pronounce her complete
innocence, and with her last breath tells Emilia,
a guiltless death I die (V, ii. , l. 120).
Plainly, Iago has deceived Othello into believing
that his beautiful young wife has committed
adultery with his once-trusted second in command,
Cassio. That being so, Desdemona is clearly
innocent of the charges embodi...

Women Writers Free Verse

Paula Bennett As her persistent use of the first
person singular suggests, like her fellow women
writers, Dickinson also seems to have viewed her
poetry at least her psychological poetry as her
hearts record, the inner truth of a domestic life.
This is the genre within which she is writing and,
as Walker has so ably demonstrated, she employs
many of the same themes and images her fellow
women poets use. But Dickinson took up these
themes with a difference. As Adrienne Rich
asserts, for Dickinson...
