Cry The Beloved Country
500 words
"Cry, The Beloved Country" are very emotional
words. This happens to be the title of one of Alan
Paton's most famous novels about turmoil in South
Africa. The question of why he chose this title
for his novel can be answered in several ways.
Perhaps its because of the racial segregation in
South Africa. Some could argue it is because of
economic segregation in South Africa. Or perhaps
it could be the chaos inside the South African
families which persuaded Paton to name this novel
what he did. In...

Inferior To Men Malleus Maleficarum

During the Midieval era witchcraft became a
popular form of rebellion against Church and state

institutional structure. Russell describes this
happening as the rise of mysticism, of the
flagellants, of the dance cult, and the expansion
of popular heresy [occurring] at the same time as
the rapid growth of the witch phenomenon (Russell
272). Because witchcraft appeared to be devil
worship, directly contradic...

Helena Bonham Carter Franco Zeffirelli Hamlet
731 words
Mel Gibson and Franco Zeffirelli's adaptation of
Hamlet has filled some of the gaps left by
Shakespeare. This version of the classic story is
thoroughly watchable. This is "Hamlet for the 90
s, " according to the director, and it is an
especially entertaining version. With much of the
text diced, the pace quickened, and the action
streamlined, the film offers what amounts to an
introduction to Shakespeare's classic, without
losing any of the play's psychological
complexities. Gibson is perfect a...

Psychologists often battle on the idea of Nature
vs. Nurture, or the idea that people? s character
are decided by either genetic inheritance or their
