The Everyman Play is a morality play that became popular after the Corpus Christi Plays were banned in the 15th century. The play was written by an unknown author, but many Historians believe that the author was probably a priest or monk as they were the people who usually wrote religious and moral dramas. It is also likely that the play is a conglomeration of numerous authors due to several rewrites throughout history. The play was originally written in Middle English. The play uses allegory to look at “Everyman” who is the representation of mankind. The play looks at ...

A Rose for Emily constitute the crucial part of Faulkner's art. Analyzing the plot, background, and chronological order it becomes clear that Faulkner managed to develop his own manner of novelistic narration. The short stories of the writer were equally popular as his novels, and such stories as A Rose for Emily were widely appraised by critics and shared the most revered places among the representatives of the «big» genre. Indeed, by determining Faulkner's contribution to world literature, many English-speaking critics underlined that the writer's genius manifested itself in both genres, despite the complexity of the style that he ...

The Epic of Gilgamesh is an epic poem from ancient Mesopotamia. It is often considered as one of the most ponderable works of literature. The literary history of the poem begins with five Sumerian poems about “Gilgamesh”, who was a king of Uruk. Then, these above-indicated separate stories were used as a major source material for a combined epic. The principal character was two-thirds god and one-third man. He built prodigious and dignified temple towers, which surrounded his city with high walls. Although he was physically immensely strong and beautiful as well as very prudent mentally, but as a ...

Talking about Middle Age culture, it is necessary to underline the role of religion. The morality play Everyman is based on its principles and gives moral lessons to reader. This is a story about how an ordinary person is afraid of death and how he searches companions (fellowship, family) for his trip in kingdom come. Such notions as “Deeds” and “Goods” appear in the context in order to show reader the difference between them. Goods contribute to luxury life, but they cannot share with Everyman his trip to God. As for Deeds, they are insufficient as opposed to Sins ...

I have just finished reading a short story called The Lottery. At first, I assumed the story was the one written by the famous American writer known as Shirley Jackson. However, it was an entirely different story but one that ends in death just the same. While the story was well written, I did not like it so much. The content of the story made me feel helpless like the child who is narrating the story. Reading about the lynch mob and knowing the result of such crowds means someone will die without every getting a proper court trial. ...

In the 1972 Supreme Court case Furman v. Georgia, two of the most comprehensive arguments in opposition to the death penalty were made by Justices William Brennan and Thurgood Marshall. Brennan’s argument centered on three elements. First, simple because the death penalty was used from the birth of the nation to the present, did not mean that the nation could never abolish it (Tabak, 1991). A modern proof of Brennan’s argument here is that while the death penalty was historically a common punishment in societies across the world, today 140 countries have abolished the death penalty in ...

The point of view is a perspective from which the author chooses a narrator to tell a story. The third-person narrators are usually observers but not characters in the story. Kate Chopin in “The Story of an Hour” uses the third-person omniscient narrative, which captures the reader and makes him sympathetic to Louise Mallard. The reader has a possibility to see how the woman interacts with other characters, her thoughts, and feelings. Indeed, the omniscient narrator is able to tell the story of Louise’s hour of evolution and freedom but the happiness lasted only for an hour before ...

In my opinion, the Chinese hypothesis of creation of the world is very unusual and fascinating. And although the idea of the superhuman, which formed everything in our world, is not new, the Chinese have come up with an unusual and very poetic version of the appearance of all life on Earth. This theory explains well the importance of rituals to the Chinese people. Very interesting is the custom of reporting on the child's birth in the first place maternal grandmother. It seems to me that it has a deep meaning. It is important for every mother to know ...

The matter of euthanasia continues to be one of the most controversial questions all over the world. During many years, people argue about different facts that can either support euthanasia or forbid it. Some people will say that euthanasia is an inhuman way of “taking care” of a person who suffers.

What are the similarities and differences between the trial of Jesus and Socrates?

Similarities Both Jesus and Socrates had defied the then establishment and both the trials took place publicly. During the trials, there was a view in favour of showing leniency but the public revolted against the jury and demanded the death penalty.

Both were accused of blasphemy. Socrates was charged with dishonouring the Greek’s God, while Jesus was accused of being made himself ...

Response to Second article

“Grids” is an article that Rosalind Krauss wrote in 1979 and it explores the perspective that the grid has resisted development over the years. The author suggests that the grid is the fundamental structure or modernist art (Krauss, 1979). He also explores the idea that the grid is a representation of the modernity of contemporary art, both temporally and spatially. Krauss traces the history of the grid from the under painting to abstract, thereby exploring the grid that entails the universal and ignores the physical (Krauss, 1979). Krauss maintains that the grid illustrates the “modernity” of contemporary art in ...

Introduction

Mental events as asserted in behaviorism are considered to be unscientific and embrace the use of practical experiment in the collection of data other than the use of mental processes. Behaviorism, as argued by the different scholars of psychology, is an approach that is employed in the study of both animal and human behavior and holds that the conduct can be measured. However, it is paramount to appreciate the fact that the behaviorist denies the use of human mind and hold that behavior is an essential tool that can be utilized in the psychological studies. However, it is important ...

PART 1: ART AND ARCHITECTURE THEME REFLECTION

Part 1: Thinking Through Theme and Image

The theme chosen for discussion within this particular project is the theme of duality and conflict as a result of duality. This is a common theme throughout arts and literature; it can be seen in a grand sense in the Bible, with the duality of the divine, as well as in classical literature like Frankenstein. It is also present in many famous works of art, including works of art like Picasso’s Guernica. Duality and conflict—and associated themes of war and strife—are common themes because they are universal in many ...

“The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin

In Kate Chopin’s short story “The Story of an Hour” the author paints a rather effective picture of heartbreak. However, rather than showing the devastation of Louise Mallard’s devastation upon hearing news of her husband’s accidental death in the train wreck, Chopin takes an unexpected turn. As the reader experiences Louise’s shock at the news of her husband’s death one is led to believe that she is overwhelmed with shock and unable to comprehend the tragedy of becoming a widow. Instead, as the final scene in the story unfolds the reader is made aware ...

Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour” is an insightful work of art that possesses a great literary significance.

However, her happiness does not last long, as her husband appears ...

Emancipatory knowladge is the fifth foundation pattern in nursing, which presents the universal longing for liberation. Emancipatory nursing practice can be characterized by seven traits, identified by Joyce Fontana (2004). These traits are context, critique, politics, democratic structure, emancipatory intent, reflexivity and dialectic analysis. All the approaches to nursing care are essential for every nurse, who seeks to identify the forces that prevent the patients from recovering and give well-being for all the families. I have provided support for one person, who was a hospice patient. He was ill with cancer and could not recuperate. He knew it, but ...

Franz Schubert wrote over 600 songs until his death in 1828 and possibly his greatest muse was the celebrated German poet and dramatist Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

Although the later song cycles, Die schöne Müllerin and Die Winterreise, are some of his best known works that show the composer at his peak creativity, I have chosen to analyze one of his earliest songs using a ...

The theme of Tradition change in “The Lottery” and “The Destructors."

Change in traditions is a topic that both Shirley Jackson's The Lottery and Graham Greene’s The Destructors. Although written in different historical times and using different settings to pass the messages, the two short stories share a common theme of change. While Greene creates his chief antagonist in T (Trevor), who is determined to destroy the only house that reminisces tradition in London after the bomb attack, Jackson uses the event of a village lottery to indicate the changing society, but barbarism is persisting. In both stories, the theme of tradition erosion is presented to the audience. The ...

“Trifles” is a one-act play by Susan Glaspell who depicts the casual things in the casual environment but everything is not as trivial as it seems on the surface. The drama talks about a murder committed by a woman and the gender conflict that stands behind it. Glaspell focuses on the differences between man’s and woman’s point of view and different perception of the same things. In the play, men are described as rude and authoritarian and place women in the secondary position. Indeed, in the nineteenth century, women were subservient to men and had to take ...

My research covers on the topic about overpopulation in sub-Saharan Africa. Overpopulation is a condition whereby the number of the existing human population supersedes the carrying capacity of the planet. This condition is usually undesirable in nature. All over human history, birth rates have always equaled death rates maintaining a sustainable growth rate. My intention to research on overpopulation is based on how serious this issue is especially on the African continent. Overall, overpopulation poses a big problem in different fronts. It is a major cause of poverty, malnutrition and underdevelopment (Logan, 1991). This is especially so in Sub-Saharan ...

Many people agree that the period of chivalry was probably the most interesting and fascinating. The word chivalry is mainly associated with knights and is usually described as institution of knighthood. It is also believed that chivalry presupposes such traits as courtesy, valor and generosity. It also presupposes helping the weak (such as women and children). It is clear that nowadays the concept of chivalry has become archaic. However, its examples may be still found in fiction and in modern life. For example, William Faulkner in his work “A Rose for Emily” and James Joyce in his work “Araby” ...

The eighth and ninth Byzantium was one of the most unfortunate in the history of art and architecture.

One of the icons that would have drawn a lot of controversy in the eighth and ninth-century Byzantium is the icon of the Virgin and Child Enthroned between Saints and Angels.

Jeff Haden in his article tries to debunk the myth of following our passion. He said that it is easy to feel passionate about your goals until you are no longer passionate about it. People always confuse their hobby or interest with passion. According to him, a passion which can turn into a career is rare. I think the main them of the article is to enable one to differentiate passion from a hobby or a career option. He made the distinction between a job, a career, and a calling (Haden, 2012, paragraph 15). Jobs pay bills; careers are ...

Introduction

The commencement and ending of Homer’s epic poem the Iliad depict a rational existence of humans before and after the interference of the immortal beings respectively. The middle passages are different as they present a palpable yet gradual build up of human emotions that warrant an alliance with the gods and goddesses in the text. In turn, a paradox emerges in the depiction of the relationships between the mortals and the immortals in the Homeric poem: the gods are necessary for Homer’s presentation of the humans, but they are also to blame for the unstable attitudes and ...

Renaissance Diseases

Several centuries before the development of antiseptics (i.e. soap), diseases were often a death sentence, resulting in huge populations being wiped out from a single pandemic. Despite the huge strides in science and culture, the Renaissance had a lot of downsides regarding health and wellness. This was in part due to religious practices and the refusal to allow various sorts of medicines and surgical treatments to be tolerated, despite having the potential to save the patient(s). Regardless, the “why’s” are not the matter of importance, here. What is relevant, however, are the diseases themselves, including how they ...

Should the juveniles be executed?

Today, we can see a greater incidence of juvenile delinquencies. There are a lot of factors that contribute to this type of crime when underage adolescents commit violent crimes.

Of course, two different people can come from the same environment. There are a lot of biological and psychological factors such as nervous diseases, endocrine disorders, physical exuberance and even lack of ...

Explicitly we can come to the conclusion that such phenomena as political religion and religious politics, being based on the social religion, which creates common values for their supporters, affected the development of the American consciousness greatly as well as nowadays it does the same. It reflects the conservative form of state’s ruling with some features of collectivism, since it is mainly based on the protection of traditional family and other religious values, by sharing of which people are more likely to put all their efforts in order to defend everybody, who belongs to their group – from the ...

The term ‘worldview’ simply refers to an individual’s perception of the world around him, which is often based on the existing knowledge that he has accumulated over the years. As observed by scholars, people do not possess a ‘tabula rasa’ or blank mind when it comes to the natural world around them since they have their own opinion and values as shaped by their “socio-cultural environment or from previous educational experiences”.
