.... Hrothgar's character? I would like to explore the poem's treatment of Hrothgar's old age, suggesting a possible interpretation of his character and touching on its significance to the values of the poem. I will make some observations and then try to draw some conclusions, as best as one can for a complex work such as Beowulf. Hrothgar's associations with women are not the only evidence that would support a "feminization" of his aged character. Hrothgar's laments for his own helpless state makes him even more helpless: rather than responding in action like Beowulf does, he gives in to despair. And if Tacitus were to be a guide, Hroth .....

.... we our largest bounty may extend.� (1, 1, 56-57) By doing this, Lear gives an opportunity for his daughters to take advantage of him. Goneril “loves [him] more than words can wield the matter’ (1, 1, 60) and the same goes for Regan saying, “[Goneril] comes too short, that [she] profess [herself] an enemy of all other joys.� (1, 1, 79-80) They don’t really love Lear, but instead they love the power that Lear gives them. Once Lear had given the land to his daughters, the power that they have corrupts them. When Lear needs a place to stay, the daughters are not quick to react; Goneril allows him to stay but he must “disquanty hi .....

.... supposed 'traitor'. When the two died Eteocles was given full burial rites, but Polynices was given absolutely no burial rites of any kind because he was a traitor. His death was forbidden to be mourned throughout the city. The death of Eteocles and Polynices spurred Creon's rite to the throne. He insisted that the body of Polynices lay to rot for all the city to see. Antigone, being his sister, couldn't stand to see this happen. She went and did her best to cover her brothers body. She got caught while doing this. She then was brought before her uncle the king. She denied nothing, and was pround to admit to the crime. Her stubb .....

It was dark by the time arrived home, so he gave orders for one of his servants to take a torch and guide this critic safely back to wherever he lived. Some people said that was only trying to fool the public with a false front of virtue. But Zeno replied that if were faking virtue, his detractors should do the same, because even pretending to be good, if this is continued for long enough, will give a man the desire and practice that is needed for good habits. was very wealthy, and his skill with words made him famous in Athens while he was still a young man.

.... neighborhood becomes more of a home and helps Renée to miss Alsace a little. Renée¹s parents had left Poland and then Hungary to find a freer, better life. They settled in France and thought they¹d be safe. Then Adolf Hitler, a German man who hated Jewish people, started trouble all over again. First, seven synagogues were blown up. Then, the Germans created a curfew prohibiting Jews to go during certain hours. Any Jew caught in the street after curfew would be taken as hostage. Also, all Jewish people must wear a Star of David on their shirts. An ordinance is created requiring all Jewish firms to be registered. Then the Jewish are forb .....

.... simply political criticisms in his experiences in Book I and II, to a socio-political criticism in Book III, to the social, philosophical criticism of man in Book IV. It is to this final book that we turn our attention. If Book IV is read literally, with no knowledge of satire, it appears to be another bizarre journey of Gulliver, no more unusual than his other travels. However, upon further inspection, we see that Book IV criticizes the nature of man as a rational being (Crane, 402). Of interest to the readers of today is Swift's choice of creatures inhabiting this land; a barbaric, man-like creature dubbed the Yahoo, and the civilized .....

.... them. This is the beginning of filial piety. When we have established our character by the practice of the (filial) course, so as to make our name famous in future ages and thereby glorify our parents, this is the end of filial piety. It commences with the service of parents; it proceeds to the service of the ruler; it is completed by the establishment of character. "It is said in the Major Odes of the Kingdom: Ever think of your ancestor, Cultivating your virtue."4 Notes 1. This is the zi or "style" of Confucius. 2. Zeng Zi speaks in fourteen sayings in the Analects, e.g., 1.4. He names himself a bit .....

.... on in the play (“I wound no earth with ploughshares; fat no beasts to feed the shambles”). His opinion on working an honest days work is that it is bad and that what he is doing is right. This demonstrates that he has no conception of what is right and wrong. Another analogy of this is that he is so corrupt and disabled by his greed that he is in fact an invalid whom can not do any more then he is already doing. The arrival of Corbachio prompts Volpone to say “the vultures gone and the old raven’s come”. This line in it’s self exemplifies Jonson’s writing of ncredible depth, as well as Volpon .....

.... and proclaimed the establishment of the Third Republic shortly after this fall of the Loius Napoleon. As far as Marx was concerned, he felt that at the Commune was merely "the rising of a city under exceptional conditions and its majority was in no wise socialist nor could it be." However Marx emphasised that its "great social measure…was its own existence." In this essay I will discuss La Débâcle, and Zola’s apparent lecturing tone. For while Zola exposed many social sores he had never previously attempted to put forward ideas for healing them. I will discuss how Zola felt that it was not the .....
