Walt Whitman Young Men
906 words
Homoeroticism in Whitman The most of so-called
homosexual texts written by Walt Whitman were
created well before the very term homosexual or
homoeroticism was coined. Whitman's texts were
written well before the moment when the birth of
homosexual species was announced by Foucault
(1870). Before homosexuals and before
homosexuality Walt Whitman had persistently,
insistently, and inquisitively asked questions
about love, wondering about young beings,
strangers, who seem to touch the fountains of ...

Lord Jesus Christ Good Person
2,037 words
The first book of the Bible is called the
Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old
Testament) Genesis. Genesis means origin. The
Hebrews call it the first Hebrew word Bereshith in
the beginning. It is the book of all the
beginnings. We can trace here the beginnings of
creation and everything else, except God, who has
no beginning. The book of Genesis is the great
foundation upon which the entire revelation of God
rests. The marvelous structure of the Bible,

Significance and role of gods in the Homers Iliad
One of the main features of the greek literature
is that the gods play a significant role in the
lives and fates of the mortal dwellers of the
earth. As one examines the gods throughout the
myths and epic poems of the Greeks, one recieves a
strong impression that the gods "play" with and
manipulate mortals and each other. The Christian
God does not take such an active role in the
affairs of people's lives, where, the Greeks
regarded direct involv...

Paradise Lost Trojan Horse

In this paper I will compare and contrast two
pieces of art work that are religious in nature.
Through these pieces, I will show a theme of
depicting death as heroic and beautiful, though
painful and horrific. The first piece that I
selected is a marble statue made in Hellenistic
Greece (323 - 31 BCE. ). It was sculpted by
Hagesandros, Polydor os, and Athenodoros and is
titled Laocoon and His Two Sons. The second piece
is an oil painting on wood panel made during the
Baroque time era (1590 - 175...

The Merchant of Venice: Hath not a Jew Mercy?
Kevin Jacoby Many of William Shakespeare's plays
have sparked controversy. Probably the one that
has sparked the most controversy is The Merchant
of Venice, which many intellectuals have dubbed an
anti-Semitic play. The character that this
discussion centers around is Shylock, the rich
moneylender Jew. The problem with most of these
anti-Semitic arguments is that they lack the
perspective of the sixteenth century audience.
Throughout Shakespeare's Th...

End Of The Play Universal Appeal Kate
676 words
The play, Taming of the Shrew is one of
Shakespeare s comedies. It portrays the humorous
events regarding the suiting of Kate, a shrew
dwelling in the city of Padua. It portrays many
ideas about love and marriage that do not quite
fit with our current views and what we know about
relationships. It can be argued that the comedy of
the play makes it universal, but it contains some
themes that will not be received in the same light
as they were during Shakespeare s time. The comedy
is still mostly ...

was a point definitely settled. I must not only
punish, but punish with impunity. Now Montresor
began to develop the perfect plan of retribution.
During this time, Montresor was careful not to
arouse Fortunato's suspicions. [N]either by word

Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale Hester And Pearl
1,253 words
In most stories with very few characters there are
one or two good characters and several evil
characters as well. Nathaniel Hawthorne's The
Scarlet Letter is a novel with no clear knight in
shining armor and witch of the forest. Hawthorne
makes a much more subtle conflict between
characters. He plays with the individuals judgment
and moral standards. If the story is analyzed
however, it can be discovered that the Reverend
Arthur Dimmesdale is accountable for much of the
suffering that occurs in...
