A Summary

War came naturally to Rome. Slaughter and cruelty were pillars of the Roman culture. The fact that Rome had ruled close to over one sixth of the World’s population at one point in time had a by-product and the innumerable inhuman suffering of slaves and gladiators was only one of these by-products. Even while at war and later, Roman armies are known to have indulged in human slaughter. Warriors would brutally crush the one weak link of their team to death. At other times, they would coolly kill another soldier of their army, ‘for his own good.’ Cruelty was ...

American pulp fiction is iconic; it influenced the development of American culture for decades and maintains a lasting influence to this day in the form of comic books, movies, and current literature. Pulp fiction was printed on cheap pulp paper during the 1930s and 1940s, though they were first created in 1896, and was hugely successful because of the rising literacy rates of the American population and the cheapness and proliferation of the products themselves. Pulp fiction eventually lost its popularity during World War II when paper rationing affected the population and movies, television, comic books, and normal paperbacks ( ...

The aim of this paper is to compare and contrast how Marry Wollstonecraft and George Elliot express their femininity and the consequences of the contradictions between what they stood for and their personal choices.

This perception she hold onto despite the fact that other female authors at the time were using their real names.
George Elliot was the pen name of Marry Ann Evans. She was ...

Romantic relationships play a very important role, and without them our life would be senseless. However, if we compare the modern romantic relationship with the ones in the 1980s, we will see that they and their values are absolutely different.
The main and the most obvious difference is dating and meeting each other. In the 80s there was no internet and almost no mobile phone, therefore people usually met each other in different public places: gums, libraries, supermarkets. It is possible to say that they simply did not have any other choice. Therefore, in the past people were more ...

Periodically throughout the last two millennia or so, Pagans, or followers of classical polytheisms found themselves facing oppression or persecution. As the influence of Christianity grew, the term “pagan” was used to broadly describe any non-Christians. Attempts to suppress Paganism successfully erased many Pagan rituals and demolished or covered sacred sites, but early Christianity was far from uniform between different regions and different blendings of Paganism and Christianity occasionally emerged. Examining varied pagan traditions and beliefs and understanding the interaction between Paganism and Judaism and Christianity and Paganism when Christianity was a young religion allows greater insight into some traditions ...

The stories tend to possess an influential symbolism which explains why they survive for a very long time. There exist numerous conceptual frame works as far as myths are concerned. ...

On the surface, the poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight appears to be a simple tale of a knight who accepts a difficult quest and, fulfilling it, returns to the court at Camelot, victorious. However, upon further exploration of the poem, much about its meaning becomes increasingly ambiguous. For example, the poem’s fourteenth century poet could have had a very different intent concerning ideas of chivalry and temptation than a modern reader may assume after reading the poem. Literary scholars argue over the meaning of Sir Gawain in terms of ideas about chivalry, temptation, the role of women, and the place of ...

Birds have been applied in poetic imagery since time immemorial. The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries apply birds in the same taste and scale. Ordinarily, the common thread in the use of birds is the position it assumes in the poetry. Birds tend to represent two contrasting yet essential matters. That is freedom and captivity.

On the other hand, the same birds have been applied illustratively to show the concept of captivity. The latter applies ...

The European languages fall under three Indo-European talking categories, the Romance languages from Latin, the German languages that belong to the Roman Empire and the Slavic languages.
