Oedipus Rex - Bliss In Ignorance
Words: 851 - Pages: 4.... an examined life? Socrates had made this statement long after the creation of the Theban Trilogy. In the context of his own time, this was meant to imply that life must be examined and reflected upon, known and discovered by each individual philosopher to better enrich life for all. Yet in terms of Sophoclean drama, specifically Oedipus Rex, this was meant in a vastly different way. The unexamined life was one that was in the dark, unknown as to what fate lied beyond every turn and irony of living. Oedipus, up to the point in which he heard the comment in the tavern in Corinth, lived an unexamined life. To Socrates, he was an unfulfilled man .....

major turn of events, as his action turn the preceding part of the play
from a short comedy into a full-length tragedy.
On the streets of Verona, Tybalt and his subject run into their
warring counterparts, Benvolio and Mercutio, of the Montague household.
Being a peaceful man, Benvolio talks of peace, trying to stay away from any
further clashes. Nevertheless, at the sound of the word “peace” Tybalt
illustrates his animosity toward the Montagues, as he repulsively responds,
“I hate the word / As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee” (1.1.68-69).
This remark was sparked after a short co .....

I later began buying The Transformers action figures; which were
developed by Hasbro from the television series. Over the years, I accumulated a
collection of about thirty different characters; which I still have stored in my
room. I don't think I could ever get rid of them. Also, each Transformer came
with a stat card on the back of the box he was sold in that described his
various skills and attributes. I used to always cut these stat cards from the
back of the boxes, and tape them onto large sheets; which I hung on my bedroom
wall. Along with the action figures, I also had Transformer books a .....

Gertrude’s marriage to Claudius was a deplorable and sordid disappointment to Hamlet who was appalled by the speed with which his mother recovered from her widowhood. “Within a month, ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tears had left the flushing in her gallèd eyes, she married. O, most wicked speed, to post with such dexterity to incestuous sheets!” (Act1.scene2.158-162). The absence of a mourning period for the Queen suggests that she needed a husband so badly that she brazenly betrayed Hamlet an .....

Talk Show Trash
Words: 1380 - Pages: 6.... out
the ladies on stage, to then embarrass them by talking in detail about their gay
encounter, I was almost sick. One man actually told his fiancee the he had sex
with one of her male cousins. Another told of his experiences of picking up
male gay prostitutes in the streets of New York City on many occasions. Now my
question is that is any of this even necessary for people to watch, or the
embarrassment of the individuals and those mentioned in the show.
The next trash candidate would definitely be Jerry Springer, who tries
so very hard at the end of his show to put real-life meaning to the topics of
his show in “Springer's thought of .....

tall ungainly singing master described as ridiculously dressed and
carrying a pitch pipe while riding a horse, and pulling along a pony. At a
muttered comment from Magua, Major Duncan orders Gamut to be quiet for
safety. This scene was not only not in the movie, but neither was the
character of Gamut.
The movie not only left out a character, it left out other scenes.
One such scene would be when Uncas Chickengook and Hawkeye join Cora, Alice,
Duncan, Maugua, and Gamut.* When these characters join the party, they tell
Duncan that Maugua is a Huron spy. Duncan decides to question Maugua, but
when he does, Maugua runs away. When Maugua begin .....

Krapp's Last Tape: Imagery In Color
Words: 835 - Pages: 4.... "Krapp's Last
Tape," Samuel Beckett exploits such techniques in expressing his own bleak and
pessimistic view of the world.
In his middle years of his life, Krapp retained this rigid and anal
retentive nature. He kept these tapes in which he would constantly reevaluate
his own life and try to always improve it, using these tapes as "help before
embarking on a new retrospect" (1629). He had also stored these various tapes
organized in boxes with their location written in a ledger. Yet in his latter
years, there is an apparent decay of this regimental attitude. His very
appearance is an indication of this decline. He is described as wea .....

This quote illustrates the downfall of technologization and why it is greeted with unease by many. However, as discussed by Professor Rickels in class, women are being put at the front of the line to this fearful type of technologization. We have seen several examples of the woman's body being the first equi .....
