.... Trojan's side. We are regaled with story upon story of the Greeks, their heroes, and their exploits, while the Trojan's are conspicuously quiet, sans Hector of course. It could almost be assumed that throughout time most of the knowledge of the battle from the Trojan side had been lost. Considering the ability to affect feelings with similes, and the one-sided view of history, Homer could be using similes to guide the reader in the direction of his personal views, as happens with modern day political "spin". These views that Homer might be trying to get across might be trying to favor Troy. It could easily be im .....

.... of a wretched, barbarian life and introduced her to our great Greek land, teaching her “how to live by law instead of the sweet will of force” (line 538). When he arrived in Corinth, he further extended his generosity. An opportunity arose to preserve Medea and breed a royal progeny to be brothers to his children by marrying the daughter of our great king Creon (595-7). Medea refused to accept all that Jason offered and labeled him disloyal for seeking another wife. However, our great society allows men to pursue other relationships when they grow tired of their current companion. Therefore, Jason did not act beyond his given .....

.... open-minded person is a very well educated one who has a large vision in many fields of their daily life. Also, an open-minded person is someone who can focus on and get results in most of the problematic and difficult situations in which they could be involved. For example, supposing that a fire starts; it is known that most of the people get panicked, but not those who are open-minded and are able to evaluate the danger fast. They will listen to the others' opinions, evaluate and analyze them, choose the best one, and get out from the situation thinking logically. For instance if the fire starts in a huge multi-store house they will not .....

.... has a fit. This drives Macbeth to become careless, and just become totally selfish. Language: Lady Macbeth scolds Macbeth for giving in to his fears, and letting his imagination get the best of him.

With Hamlet it can be clearly seen in the scene of Ophelia’s funeral where he declares his love for her and his distress of the departure of her soul, “forty thous .....

.... that the collective unconscious itself is an underlying theme which exists throughout the events in the play. Although, these concepts have only recently been discussed and proposed as a psychological theory, it appears that they pre-date Jung by three hundred years. I will provide proof of this hypothesis through parallels between Jung’s work and the play. Carl Jung believed that the structure of the human psyche is comprised of three main parts: the conscious, personal unconscious and the collective unconscious (refer to figure 1). The conscious is basically the function or activity which maintains the relation of psychic contents w .....
