(Ondaatje, 1992, #201)
The tradition however, was transgressed due to conflicting propensities of the eldest brother who chose to resist the indigenous British rule rather than fight on their side. In light of the resulting imprisonment of his brother, Kirpal chose to fill the void by enlisting in the army. .....

his glory sat, his only Son."(Bk. 3, 63-64). Although this implies that
the Son is a model of perfection as is God, it does not clarify it by
stating it outright. Milton definitely portrays Satan's evil in Book four
by asserting that Satan is hell and that evil is his good because good has
been lost to him. (Bk. 4, lines 75, 108-110). Satan's moral state further

by Satan. Satan recognizes his descent into bestiality after once being in
contention with the gods to sit on top of the hierarchy of angels. He is
unhappy with this "foul descent" a .....

Words: 2836 - Pages: 11.... so complex that even its creator could not find his way out.

in giving definitive treatment to an archetype that was well established long
before the twentieth century (Beebe 163).
The Daedalus myth gives a basic structure to Portrait of the Artist.

Contrary to generally accepted views, Tolstoy portrays Napoleon as an ineffective, egomaniacal buffoon who believes human beings are meager pons whose purpose is either to live or die on his behalf. As vividly displayed in chapter six when forty horses and men drowned crossing the turbid Niemen River. T .....
