In comparison to Homer’s Iliad, where the women are not seen frequently and there is not much emphasis on them, but on the other hand, women are everywhere in “The Odyssey” and they have diverse ...

The official police investigation reported a solved murder case even when it was not the real case. Hence, the world is left with Rasputin’s memoirs and the names of his killers, Felix Yusupovand and Vladimir Purishkevich (Trounev, p. 12). As the Soviets came into power, most of the documents ...

Ilya Repin’s painting ‘Ivan the Terrible and his Son’ is seen as one of the greatest examples of filicide, which is when a father kills his child. Repin pours a lot of emotional turmoil into the piece demonstrating an affinity with the situation and also showing that the filicide was absolutely unnecessary to quell the bloodthirsty tyrant who had already done enough damage to society as a whole. The expression of Ivan’s face is rather instructive as it shows Repin’s themes usually dealt with the existing social order of the pre Revolution and focused on the trials and ...

The 18th century novels Pamela and Evelina, by Samuel Richardson and Frances Burney, respectively, paint men (particularly upper-class men) in a generally unflattering light.

The three male protagonists of this story – Mr. B in Pamela, and Lord Orville and Sir Clement Willoughby in Evelina, both occupy different ends of this spectrum of masculinity, which provides a more comprehensive picture of how men are treated in 18th century fiction.
