The Epic Of Gilgamesh
Words: 730 - Pages: 3.... of Enkidu, Gilgamesh tries to find immortality
by trying to cross the ocean to find it. He sounds pathetic as he rambles of
his reason for trying to find everlasting life. His state of being at this part
in the book, which is the end, is completely different from his arrogant
beginning of this epic. Gilgamesh has gone from arrogant to scared.
Second, the death of Humbaba changes Gilgamesh. Humbaba is evil. Many
people who live in the city of Uruk fear Gilgamesh. Most would say that
Gilgamesh himself is, in fact, evil. He has sex with the virgins, he does what
he wants, and he tends to offend the gods. He has lots of problems wi .....

Most of the stories relate some kind of moral lesson or value. The story starts

Candide 2
Words: 1603 - Pages: 6.... it is written. One of the voices that is present throughout the story is that of irony. The story itself is ironic since no one can take Swifts proposal seriously. This irony is clearly demonstrated at the end of the story; Swift makes it clear that this proposal would not affect him since his children were grown and his wife unable to have any more children. It would be rather absurd to think that a rational man would want to both propose this and partake in the eating of another human being. Therefore, before an analyzation can continue, one has to make the assumption that this is strictly a fictional work and Swift had no intention of p .....

Symbols In "The Glass Menagerie"
Words: 273 - Pages: 1.... "The Glass Menagerie" in nostalgia for a past world and its evocation
of loneliness and lost love celebrates, above all, the human need to dream.
Amanda Wingfield resents the poverty - stricken neighborhood in

gaiety can be nauseating. Abandoned by her husband, Amanda comforts herse .....

Animal Farm: The Corruption In Humans And The Character Napoleon
Words: 836 - Pages: 4.... nature, and personal drive all lead to
the disintegration of society in Animal Farm.
From the start Napoleon was thought to be a very devious character.
He is a cold hearted individual and the effect he had on others didn't have

someone asked what was going to happen to all that milk, Napoleon
receptively shrugged it off by saying: “ ‘ Never mind the milk, comrades!'
cried Napoleon, placing himself in front of the buckets. ‘That will be
attended to.' “ Napoleon is using a communist te .....

kill him. A sense of dread becomes apparent as he realizes he is bound by
his word to have the same fate as the Green Knight's body in one year and a
day.
Another example of the demise of chivalry occurs at the Green
Knights castle. Sir Gawain manages to keep his word for two of the days,
but on the third day, he keeps the lady's scarf. The reason he does this
is obviously for its protective properties. This seems like a good idea,
but this violates his promise to give everything he gets back to the lord
of the manor. It also violates his faith in God's ability to save him from
being decapitated. Sir G .....
