... in which nature is viewed as order. Rosenblatt (1984) states that there was a belief in an established hierarchy within the universe. Everything had its own relative position beginning with Heaven, the Divine Being, and the stars and planets which are all above. On earth the king is next, then the nobles, on down to the peasantry. Holding the lowest position were the beggars and lunatics and finally, the animals. Interrupting this order is unnatural.

... to be worried about George. I began to feel sorry for him. I thought that Lionel Barrymore played Mr. Potter commendably. He really seemed to fit the part. As the audience, I grew a strong grudge against him, from the beginning. Clarence, an angel, was sent down to save George from doing evil by committing suicide. The angel saved him in many ways.

... the story of two noble children who wish to avenge their murdered father and in doing so cause their own exile. Orestes and Electra’s hamartia of matricide lead them to discover their action was wrong and they come to regret what they have done. However, Electra lacks a true fall from happiness into misery for either children, a profound sense of tragic suffering, and a strong catharsis of pity and fear. In Electra, both Orestes and Electra can be viewed as tragic figures, however Orestes is the better choice according to Aristotle. Orestes is the son of a king and is a prince, thus he is of a high birth. He has ethos, or a sense of right and wrong, in that he ...
