.... that will be missed out on. There is a strong sense of regret before the choice is even made and it lies in the knowledge that in one lifetime, it is impossible to travel down every path that one encounters. In an attempt to make a decision, the traveler "looks down one as far as I could." The road that will be chosen leads to the unknown, as does any choice in life. As much as he may strain his eyes to see how far the road stretches, eventually it surpasses his vision and he can never see where it is going to lead. It is the path that he chooses that sets him off on his journey and determines where he is going and what he will en .....

.... people thought of Caesar as an egotistical and unyielding man who had the heart of a tyrant and who could be expected to crush any remaining liberties of the Romans under his feet. Most of the time, he spoke about himself in the third person which gives an arrogant feeling of Caesar to the reader. This is shown as Cassius spoke to Casca about the upcoming conspiracy. "What trash is Rome, what rubbish and what offal, when it serves for the base matter illuminate so vile a thing as Caesar!" (p.45). Caesar was by no means only shown as a foolish man who thought highly of himself. Caesar's statements about his distrust of Cassius are .....

.... the lives that have passed through its halls. The house takes on a persona of a living creature that exists and influences the lives of everybody who enters through its doors. (Colacurcio 113) "So much of mankind’s varied experience had passed there - so much had been suffered, and something, too, enjoyed - that the very timbers were oozy, as with the moisture of a heart." (Hawthorne 27). Hawthorne turns the house into a symbol of the collection of all the hearts that were darkened by the house. "It was itself like a great human heart, with a life of its own, and full of rich and somber reminiscences" (Hawthorne 27). Evert Augustus Duyck .....

.... to his own suicide, when his error of judging Desdemona to be an adulteress fails him. Our closely woven relationship with this traumatised and gullible Othello causes us to suffer with him, as he experiences emotional agonies, such as the destruction of his once reputable nobility, character and marriage to the young Desdemona. Through Act II, Scene I, Othello presents himself to us as a grandly positive and content character, "It gives me wonder great as my content To see you here before me. O my soul's joy!" (Act II, Scene II). At this stage in the play Othello has also assembled his character to impose on us an impression, t .....

They defeat back in an attack from the old men who had remained in Athens while the younger men are on their crusade. When their husbands return from battle, the women reject sex and stand guard at Acropolis. The sex strike, portrayed in risqué episodes, finally pressure the men of Athens and Sparta to consent to a peace treaty. Ancient Greece in 431 BC was not a nation. It was a collection of rival city-states that were allies with each other or with leading military powers. Athens w .....

.... doesn't always mean it's the right thing to do. In society people cheat all the time, and sometimes they don't even know they are cheating. Taxes would be a great example of this philosophy because many people cheat on their taxes. They do it because they know that there are millions of people who do their taxes every year and it would be almost impossible for the government to find everyone who cheated on their taxes. The Bill Clinton scandal is also a great example of this philosophy because he thought he could conceal what he did, but in the end it went all wrong. Bill Clinton did what he did because he thought he could hide .....

.... them), maybe a later playwright found that the play was too serious. The fact that I wanted Marlowe to be the author of the whole play (I don't like it when someone comes along a changes a piece of art, or that people say that someone changed it because it is just too good to be true) made me dig deeper to try and find something that sounded more sensible to me. I would have to say that it was eight lines in scene five that were spoken by Mephastophilis in response to a question from Faustus. These Lines were (pg.442 lines 110-125): Mephastophilis. Now Faustus, ask what thou wilt. Faustus. First will I question thee about hell: Tell me, wh .....

.... and man’s redeemable qualities. Coleridge believes life and poetry both follow a cyclical pattern. The story is about a man’s literal and spiritual journey and how they parallel each other. On these journeys, Coleridge imaginatively explores the supernatural. He makes the story and the Mariners experiences more interesting. The Mariner experiences moral error and physical decay that changes his view on life during his journey. In the first part of the story, the Mariner and his crew come across an albatross, a "pious good omen," "That made the wind blow," a mysterious, supernatural quality. The crew of the ship welcome it " .....

.... can not bring himself to do this and so he gives the child with ankles pinned to a fellow shepherd from a distant land called Corinth. When he receives the child, he unpins the baby’s ankles and gives him the name Oedipus, which means “swollen feet�. He cares for the baby and when he returns to Corinth, he gives the child to Polybus and his wife Merope, who raise the boy until he reached manhood. Right after that, as Oepipus travels around the countryside, the inevitable happens. “...When in my travels I was come near this place where three roads meet, There met me a herald, and a man that rode In a colt carriage, as you tell o .....
