... by which he could procure fire and with no other motive in mind than glory, he cunningly stole fire from Zeus and gave it to a grateful mankind. Prometheus’ trickery was bound to invite catastrophe. Zeus’ retribution was swift and twofold. Firstly, with the help of Hephaestus, Hermes and Aphrodite, he fashioned out of clay the first woman, Pandora. Thereafter, men would no longer be born directly from the earth; now through women, they would undergo birth by procreation, and consequently old age, suffering and death. She was given a box which contained all manner of misery and evils and was responsible for letting them escape, to torment humankind for ...

... .” (Hawthorne 11). Most persons of her own sex refers it as “the bloody hand,” that “Quite destroy(s) the effect of Georgiana’s beauty . . .” (Hawthorne 11). While her admirers “were won’t to say that some fairy at her birth-hour had laid her tiny hand upon the infant’s cheek, and left this impress [the birthmark] there in token of the magic endowments that were to give her such sway over all hearts” (Hawthorne 11). Georgiana’s casual approach towards the birthmark reveals while she answers “No, indeed,” when her husband asks her “has it never occurred to you [Georgiana] that the mar ...

... is usually a young man who makes his living shooting other men in showdowns, a classic example is Billy the Kid. Railroads are also a recurring image in westerns. Since the railroad was the major mode of transportation in the old west, it is always present in westerns. Finally, westerns always have a villain. The villain, usually a man, dresses very slick and will stop at nothing in his quest for power. In addition, the villain usually has a gang to carry out his dastardly deeds. The gang is usually full of incompetent, but loyal thugs, who would love to destroy a small town just for the pleasure of wanton destruction. The elements of a western are very simpl ...

... this they feel that they are "on the side of the angels". A lot of people do not have the ability to disobey authority. Another reason people obey is that they have a sense of obligation to their duty. This is just the whole idea of completing the job that’s given to you. Some people have a fear of being perceived as brash, or rude. In general, people want to present themselves in the best way possible. Civilian obedience also comes from the sense that the responsibility for the victim is not their own. Since they do not have the blood on their hands, so to speak, their actions do not effect them. It was found that the reasons for obedience are n ...

... There are many differences and aspects that they have in common. These two goegraphical locations offer many variations for things to do, the people are different in their mannerisms and the money is spread out in a different way. However, there are many things that are alike including the colleges in the areas , government, and the basic way of life. If you were to take a drive from Michigan to North Carolina there would be a noticable difference in the way that the people talk and the mannerisms that they have. For example, the people from the south talk in slow, sweet, tangy voice that seems to draw out with every word that they say. The people fro ...

... to unravel the value of truth, moral and absolute. Hamlet is basically a confused, frustrated individual who is looking for the right thing to do but is confronted with two options, to murder or to not murder or the moral truth vs. the need to "set it right". Each part of Hamlet is trying to find a different truth but in the end we find that he can only be true to himself The soliloquy that displays Hamlet's confusion is "O, what a rogue and peasant slave am I!" in act two scene two. This soliloquy takes place immediately after the first discussion between Hamlet and the travelling players. Here Hamlet is enraged, furious and rude. In this soliloquy Hamlet de ...

... to these images, and further, believe that the bold stance that Twin Peaks takes on femininity is true. Twin Peaks treats domestic violence and abuse with a creepy insensitivity. The incestuous relationship between Laura and her father Leland is almost ignored- being blamed on the possessive spirit, BOB. “After Leland’s confession and suicide, Agent Cooper asks Sheriff Truman whether he would prefer to believe that BOB worked through Leland or ‘that a man would rape and murder his own daughter.’ At this moment Twin Peaks articulates a revision of the seduction theory. Little girls are not abused by their fathers; if they meet an unh ...

... attempts at matchmaking show that in her society, marriage is held in high regard. It is a person's personal worth and the transfer of family fortunes that occurs during a marriage in this time that is probably the most important factor, not how the couple gets along or likes each other. Austen plays on this social behavior and seems to be making a statement. Therefore, I believe that Pride and Prejudice is a social satire. The language of Pride and Prejudice is astonishingly simple and the verbiage frugal, especially for the period in which it is written. There is no drastic action or heroic characters; however, Austen convincingly 1 develops character ...

... behaviour in Charlotte’s Web, is what we might expect to see from a human being. Her spinning of the web with a word or two in it is not common activities for spiders. While examining the animal’s actions, partially sheds light on the stories that we are reading. It helps unravel the ideas and advance the plot. It does not however, give us insight into the behaviour, specifically the god-like actions that demonstrate anthropomorphism in both these novels. While all the characters in both these novels are earthly there is usually at least one in each that has some God-like character traits. The anthropomorphism that we see in Charlotte is the prime example b ...
