New Atlantis By Francis Bacon
Number of words: 1340 - Number of pages: 5

.... else must come from revealed theology. Science and philosophy have felt the need to justify themselves to laymen. The belief that nature is something to be vexed and tortured to the compliance of man will not satisfy man nor laymen. Natural science finds its proper method when the 'scientist' puts Nature to the question, tortures her by experiment and wrings from her answers to his questions. The House of Solomon is directly related to these thoughts. "It is dedicated to the study of Works and the Creatures of God" (Bacon, 436). Wonder at religious questions was natural, but, permitted fre .....

Hamlet Vs Laertes
Number of words: 442 - Number of pages: 2

.... Hamlet as the villain. The sentence, "The virtues of his will; but you must fear, His greatness weigh’d, his will is not his own, For he himself is subject to his birth.", is an important one in contributing to Laertes’ character.

Number of words: 1412 - Number of pages: 6

.... learning. In writing this he shows his clever and distinct way of thinking by referring to dialectic, the art of examining options or ideas logically, as a weapon of war. "I chose the weapons of dialectic to all the other teachings of philosophy, and armed with these I chose the conflicts of disputation instead of the trophies of war." (p. 58, ll. 7-9). This is remarkable for the son of a soldier to make such a choice - even renouncing his inheritance - and pursue only intellectual advancement. Leaving home, he traveled off to school in Paris. He was welcomed for a short while, but soon found .....

One Hundred Years Of Solitude
Number of words: 1619 - Number of pages: 6

.... of their male ancestors. These cycles reveal that man as a being, just like the mythological heros, has no true choice in the ultimate course his life will take. The male characters' personal development is overshadowed by the identity of their ancestors. Clotho, it appears, has recycled some of her spinning thread. The new male generations, superficially, are perceived to be woven of like design. Kikuji Mitani and the male Buendia's face communities that remember their ancestors. As a result, their unique communities inadvertently compare the actions of the sons .....

The Great Gatsby 2
Number of words: 806 - Number of pages: 3

.... to sacrifice anything for her. Furthermore, because Nick is the narrator one can consider the descriptions of different characters as filtered. Nick has a different perception of each character and therefor it is important to stress the different views on the different characters. The descriptions by Nick of the others are based on how they present themselves to public, or in this case, Nick. Another factor that speaks for Nick being the narrator of this novel is the way Nick stands to each different relationship of the novel. Nick is mainly an outsider, who has no real connection to ei .....

.... like him fight from the backbone of Faith. I don’t believe in the literal deciphering of the Bible, but that it is a book of ideals that we must trust in it’s veracity. It isn’t meant to be explained! Ironically, the thing that people are the most hungry for, meaning, is the one thing that science hasn’t been able to give them. Enter God, the means that mankind has clung to for purpose. If there isn’t a God, does that mean that 95% of the world is suffering from some sort of mass dillusion? There may be a thousand arguments against there being .....

To Kill A Mockingbird - What M
Number of words: 445 - Number of pages: 2

.... except through the living, breathing experience of their participants and Scout Finch's particular take on the events of this book only makes those events gain in moral strength, not diminish. Boo Radley, Atticus Finch, Scout and Jem, Miss Maudie...the characters of this book have achieved an iconic status rare in modern literature. And it has achieved this not by making them Nietzschean uebermenschen, but by entering into their lives with fair, enthusiastic frankness. And to end off, this is one of only a handful of truly successful negotiations between the dramatic (eg. theatre, screenwri .....
