Ancient Roman Ancient Rome

Although the history of Rome's regal period is
based in large part on legend, and was so in
antiquity, tradition was strong, and many of
Rome's laws and customs, committed to writing much
later, have their roots in the distant past.
Ancient Rome had many different types of law in
government. Out of all of the ancient Roman laws,
the Julian Marriage laws, the laws of the kings,
and the Justinian Codes, are some of them. The
Julian Marriage laws were very specific and
determined. Emperor Augustus ...

Adultery And Punishment In The Scarlet Letter
847 words
Adultery is a sin never taken lightly. Its a
serious crime that hurts not only the person
committing it, but also the people around that
person. A crime so serious requires a severe
punishment, but that would just lead to more
sorrow. In The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel
Hawthorne, Hester is the main character who is
forced to wear the letter A on her chest for
committing adultery with an unknown person. At
times, the punishment should fit the crime, but
under certain circumstances, the crime its...

19 th Century North American Writing To find out
about female sexuality in the Scarlet Letter was
not an easy task. The history of female sexuality
remains for the most part terra incognito. Only in
the last century or so have women themselves
openly discussed their sexuality in ways that are
accessible to historians. Another problem has been
that for most of human history, the written word
has been largely a male preserve, so women are
almost always perceived through the distorting
lens of men....

Tale Shakespeare
6,911 words
By examining Shakespeare? s treatment of familial
ties in his plays The Life and Death of King John
and The Winter? s Tale, we can see how his
attitudes and opinions towards family
relationships evolved. In King John (written
between 1594 and 1596), Shakespeare adopts what
was then a fairly conventional attitude towards
family relationships: his characters never
question the highly patriarchal family hierarchy.
They also assume that the majority of wives will
be unfaithful, simply because they a...

The Scarlet Letter Throughout Nathaniel
Hawthorne's book The Scarlet Letter, Hester's
attitudes toward her adultery are ambivalent. This
ambivalence is shown by breaking the book into
three different parts. In each part her attitudes
change significantly. Hester starts by seeing her
act as a sin that she is sorry for committing. She
changes and no longer feels sorry for the sin.
Finally, Hester sees the act as not sinful, but
she regrets committing it. In the first part,
covering the first six c...

Adultery, betrayal, promiscuity, subterfuge, and

coming attraction on the Hollywood scene and

mass-hysteria and witch trials and the end result
would be The Crucible, but if you added Puritan
ideals and writing styles, making it long, drawn
