Creon As The Tragic Hero In An
612 words
Sophocles' Antigone is, without a doubt, one of
the greatest tragedies ever written. There are
many questions that somebody could ask about this
work, but this one intrigues me the most: Who is
the tragic hero? Could it be Antigone? Or could it
be Creon? Antigone might be the name of the
tragedy, but I believe that Creon is the winning
candidate. His role in the plot of this tragedy,
his sensible tragic fault, and his dynamic
character are the obvious reasons why I chose him
as the tragic hero. ...

Made Out Of Wood Appearance And Reality

Uses of seeming idioms are to express what one
believes is most likely the case or to express
reluctance about what is specifically the case.

in the case of the finger and water using the term
appears means that if one saw the finger in the
water without knowing the actual size of the
finger, one would not be able to distinguish
whether the finger was actually large or only
seemed to be large. Looking idioms can be

Masque Of Blackness Masque Of Beauty Jonson
457 words
It is almost impossible now to figure out what did
Jonson mean by cleansing. The language of his
masques is highly allegorical, but there is no
doubt that the author was able to come to
concussion that there is a deep metaphysical
difference between Black and White races.
According to Johnson, the different color of skin
only emphasizes this fact. There is no doubt, in
Jonson's mind, that Ethiops are deficient,
although he blames the third party for their
ugliness: As of one Phaeton, that fired ...

towards Lamia is very sympathetic. Of course, we

her, because Lamias appearance is quite scary: Her
head was serpent, but ah, bitter-sweet! She had a
woman's mouth with all its pearls complete It is
not by a pure chance that Lamia is described by
Keats as having snakes head. It appears that Keats
