Paganistic Beliefs In Beowolf
Number of words: 1169 - Number of pages: 5.... following passage shows us how Grendel was born in evil;
Conceived by a pair of those monsters born
Of Cain, murderous creatures banished
By God, punished forever for the crime
Of Abel's death....(20-23)
Grendel is a horrifying creature. If he feels love, it is only that of killing people and drinking their blood. There is never a passage describing him as any type of a good being. He is always referred to as a demon, monster, or evil savage. In today's society when anyone thinks of the devil they

think of dark, gloomy, grotesque places or settings. In the poem Beowolf the only .....

An Analysis Of Hawthorne's Short Stories
Number of words: 801 - Number of pages: 3.... uses faith as the carrier of a flaw. That is, she does not
contain enough self-control, or faith to refuse the calling of the Devil.
Even with the emotional plea from her husband, “Look up to heaven, and
resist the wicked one,” (1590) Faith cannot resist the Devil's temptation
and has “uncertain sorrow,” (1587) after submitting to him. The character
of Faith which Hawthorne portrays is one of uncertainty and one which has a
lack of self control. Faith is a good example of how Hawthorne uses a
woman to symbolize a deeper significance, in this case, it is to evoke the
hypocrisy of .....

Moby Dick
Number of words: 1345 - Number of pages: 5.... negligible attempt at denouement, leaving what value judgements exist to the reader.
Ultimately, it is the dichotomy between the respective fortunes of Ishmael and Ahab that the reader is left with. Herein lies a greater moral ambiguity than is previously suggested. Although Ishmael is the sole survivor of the Pequod, it is notable that in his own way, Ahab fulfills his desire for revenge by ensuring the destruction of the White Whale alongside his own end. Despite the seeming superiority of Ishmael’s destiny, Melville does not explicitly indicate so. On the contrary, he subtly sug .....

question.” The clinician asks his/her client this question, allowing them
to visualize their future, and realize that their lives can change. The
miracle question is as follows: “Suppose that after our meeting, you go
home and go to bed. Wh .....

Metadrama In Shakespeare
Number of words: 2629 - Number of pages: 10.... notion arguing that Julius Caesar may be read as a kind of metadrama: by figuring Caesar, Brutus, Cassius and others as actors, self consciously fashioning Roman politics as competing theatrical performances the play enacts the representation of itself to ideology, and of ideology to subjectivity. Moreover if the subjects within the fiction of Julius Caesar are radically unstable by virtue of their representations then so is the theatre whose function is to stage this instability. This means that Julius Caesar fits within this essay’s definitions of Shakespeare’s work reflecting art no .....

The Bluest Eyes
Number of words: 1185 - Number of pages: 5.... has been imprinted on Pecola her whole entire life. Many people have inscribed this notion into her. Her classmates also have an effect on her. They seem to think that because she is not beautiful; she is not worth anything except as the focal point of their mockery. As if it were not bad enough being ridiculed by children her own age, adults also had to mock her. Mr. Yacowbski as a symbol for the rest of society's norm, treats her as if she were invisible. Geraldine, a colored woman, who refused to tolerate "niggers", happened to walk in while Pecola was in her house. By having an adu .....

“Bartleby The Self-Reliant Scrivener”
Number of words: 1223 - Number of pages: 5.... do what he is expected by society, but rather what he expects of himself. After reading this Bartleby seems less abnormal, and begins to fit many of the characteristics Emerson uses to describe “self reliance”.
In “self reliance” Emerson says, “Society is a joint stock company, in which the members agree, for the better securing of his bread to each shareholder, to surrender the liberty and culture of the eater. The virtue in most requests is conformity. Self-reliance is its aversion.” This statement helps to explain who Bartleby is. Bartleby does not surrender his lib .....

ways of life. He learned something of their language and how they conveyed
"news" over great distances. He found out the meaning behind the Eskimo saying,
"the wolf keeps the caribou strong." Mowat observed strong family ties among
wolves and he finished his long assignment by having great compassion for them.
And he concluded with the realization that the wolf in fact is very different
from the wolf of a legend.
When the book was published there was no more than 1200 wolves existing.
Compare this to the 2000 the year before. I hope there is still time to prevent

Views Of King Lear
Number of words: 1189 - Number of pages: 5.... a tragic flaw that initiates the tragedy. The fall of the hero is not felt by him alone but creates a chain reaction which affects everything below him. There must also be the element of chance or accident that influences some point in the play.
King Lear meets all of these requirements that has been laid out by Bradley which is the most logical for a definition of a tragedy as compared to the definition of a comedy by G. Wilson Knight.
The main character of the play would be King Lear who in terms of Bradley would be the hero and hold the highest position is the social chain. Lear out .....
