Shakespeare in the “Julius Caesar” play was much concerned about how individual lives. He provides an insight of the human’s life by raising the argument about the aptitude free will versus the power of fate in life.

According to Laurence Perrine, there are two primary purposes for any literature – to entertain and enlighten. While entertaining is the easier part, Perrine opines that a literature should do more than just entertain, if it is worth scholarly scrutiny. Thus, a fiction can be categorized into escape and interpretive literature. An escape literature is one, which mainly aims at entertaining and intended as a time pass. Whereas, an interpretive literature aims at making the reader delve more intensely into the world around him. While an escape literature aims at taking its reader away from his Continue reading...

The motives that inspired the political system in the late Roman Republic may be best illustrated through an examination of the writings by Cicero.

Indeed, it is during this period of consulship that there was a Catilian conspiracy which sought to overthrow the Roman government. As a consequence of this attempt to overthrow the government, Cicero called for the execution of the five conspirators without the conduct of due Continue reading...

A significant part of the Inferno by Dante evidently has a strong emphasis on political commentary particularly on the political scene of the Florence of fourteenth century from which he had created enemies and was exiled.

He begins by condemning all his political enemies to suffering and turmoil by scattering them in the different rings of hell.

ABSTRACT

No civilization in history can claim to have had a more powerful, resilient and disciplined army than the Romans; few have had a force so pointedly fashioned as a tool of statecraft and imperial expansion. The ingeniously imitative Romans borrowed the most effective elements of Greek/Macedonian warfare, adding their own innovations and relying upon the almost superhuman endurance of the Roman foot soldier to create the greatest empire in history. The peerless Roman soldier made a navy seem superfluous and, most of all, un-Roman. Nonetheless, in typically inventive Roman fashion, and in the interest of safeguarding commerce and protecting Continue reading...
