5 Th Century Bc Play Medea
1,174 words
In the play Medea, by Euripides, many techniques
are incorporated to augment the compelling persona
of the protagonist, Medea. She has an overpowering
presence, which is fashioned through the use of
imagery, offstage action and language. Dramatic
suspense, employment of the chorus and Deus Ex
Machina also serve to enhance the intense persona
assumed by Medea. Medea is frequently associated
with images of violence and rage. Shes wild. Hates
in her blood. /She feeds her rageStormclouds of

The Tragic Hero In Antigone
741 words
Antigone is a Greek tragic piece that stresses the
use of power and morality versus the law written
by Sophocles. Both Antigone and Creon, the main
characters in the play, could represent the tragic
hero. A tragic hero is a character who is known
for being dignified and has a flaw that assists to
his or her downfall. In my opinion, Creon best
qualifies for being the tragic hero and fitting
the definition read in the previous sentence. The
things he said, did, and the comments that were
made by t...

Teach His Son Virtue Cannot Be Taught Socrates
1,027 words
In Plato's Meno, Socrates discusses ways in which
virtue can be acquired with Meno. Menos original
question of whether virtue can be taught along
with the more fundamental question of what virtue
is occupies the entire text as Sophocles tries to
bring about ways to answer. Three possibilities
are confronted; first, that virtue is natural
within the human soul; second, that virtue can be
taught; and third, that virtue is a gift from the
gods. These ways are debated by Socrates and Meno

Hedda Gabler Hedda Heaven Hath No Rage Medea
629 words
Love can best be described as a dormant volcano.
Most of the time it remains silent and life
flourishes around it. If a large enough difficulty
should occur, it may turn from a peaceful mountain
to a malicious inferno that consumes everything
nearby, sometimes even itself. The quote from
William Congreves The Mourning Bride, Heaven hath
no rage like a love to hatred turned, nor hell a
fury like a woman scorned portrays this view
perfectly. This view is supported even further in
the plays Medea a...

Pay Equity Earnings Ratio
1,448 words
Why do people pursue an education? Many people
would answer this question by stating they pursue
an education to attain personal growth, to obtain
a career of their choosing, and to earn an income
that will meet their needs. The aspirations,
dedication, and effort made toward receiving an
education are the same for men and women. So why
is the outcome for women less fruitful than for
men? I believe it is because de facto
discrimination has not been discouraged by
legislation. If the Civil Rights...

Gloucester Blindness Eldest Daughters

Eye Spy with my little I Blindness can normally be

physical quality, but a mental flaw some people
possess. In William Shakespeare s King Lear, three
characters display this quality of blindness and
the tragic effects of this flaw: King Lear,
Gloucester and Albany. Looking at Lear s position
as King, he should reflect the royal quality of
being able to distinguish between good and evil,
