Fiction can serve a true and critical part in uncovering and inspecting non-narrative truths, particularly truths on delicate subjects like race (Campbell and Bebe 962).

Jacques Derrida suggests that forgiveness does not have a limited or proper meaning. People cannot agree on the extent beyond which forgiveness can or cannot go. Forgiveness is so vast that it is hard to determine with certainty who and what calls for forgiveness.
The idea of forgiveness asserts itself in the language that people try to adopt in search of forgiveness. The language has a religious heritage called Abrahamic. The language unites Christianity, Judaism and Islam which depicts the cosmopolitan attribute of all people (involving all religions). It is an instance where forgiveness is globalized and resembles a Continue reading...

Implicit leadership theory refers to qualities considered as specific and suited for leadership, qualities that contribute to shaping the image of a person as leader (Schyns & Meindl 21). Considering, however, that there are various types of leadership, such as autocratic, bureaucratic, charismatic, democratic, participative, laissez-faire, people-oriented, servant, task-oriented, transactional, transformational or abusive (Bansal, et al. 188), the implicit theory of leadership shapes on the features of each leadership style. William Shakespeare’s “King Lear” implicitly delineates several leadership styles, visible in the characters’ development, decision-making and in their attitude in different situations. Implicit theories of leadership are entrenched in Continue reading...

This majorly because of the different dispensation of the Christian faith which required God to show His closeness to man in different forms. Various terms are used to Continue reading...

The most notable development in literary studies has been the evolution and proliferation of several critical vantage points/positions vis-à-vis which literary texts are analysed, evaluated and interpreted. Stylistic analysis is one such novel and fascinating approach to unravel the complexities of a text.

The aim of this paper is to dissect Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily” and view it under the Continue reading...

The First Tudor – Henry VII and the Dawn of Tudor England

Thomas Penn’s book is an excellent portrayal of King Henry VII who is often overlooked by historians, but who was credited to have started the Tudor reign.

Penn also unearths some very grisly and unpleasant details about Henry VII, in particular his network of henchmen and his insatiable greed as he proceeded to amass wealth on a hitherto unheard of scale. It is Continue reading...

When comparing Jacque-Louis David’s Oath of the Horatii (1784-1785) to Edvard Munch’s The Scream (1893), many differences can be found which can shed some light on how the world changed its views of art (painting, in particular) between the Neoclassical and proto-Expressionist periods. The two paintings could not be more dissimilar; David’s work shows three brothers reaching out toward a cluster of swords held by their father in a work of stately classicism, whereas Munch’s Scream is a surrealistic portrait of a misshaped man screaming straight at the audience, with a psychedelic riverside view behind Continue reading...
