thier father was persecuted. Those who stand behind Creon also argue that
Antigone never had a true epiphany, a key element in being a tragic hero.
Creon, on the other hand, realized his mistake when Teiresias made his
prophecy. He is forced to live, .....

Polonius speaks to his son with advice that sounds sincere but in reality
it is rehearsed, hollow and without feeling. Polonius gives his advice
only to appear to be the loving caring father. The reality is he only
speaks to appear sincere as a politician, to look good rather then actually
be good: "And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. This .....

Death Of A Salesman - Willy
.... which can be
compared with popes' efforts by the difference in eighteenth century
literature and romantic poems, their descriptive natures and ideas they
portray to the reader through their writing.
Pope has written an eighteenth-century poem which he calls, "An
Hero-Comical Poem." This poem has exalted an over all sense of
worthlessness for common rules. The mentioning of Achilles and the ever-
popular Aeneas, are symbols of Pope's Gothic style. Pope speaks (almost)
G-D like throughout, .....

Pygmalion: Higgins' Philosophy

everyone equally at a particular time.
It is obvious that Higgins does not treat everyone equally all of
the time, as witnessed by his actions when he is in "one of his .....

not like opposition or anyone questioning him, even though Flavius and
Marullus had a right to express their beliefs. Caesar also presents his
despotic attitude, when Metellus Cimber begs him to reverse his brother’s
banishment. Caesar selfishly replied that this request “might fire the

The Use Of “Foil” Characters In Shakespeare’s Hamlet
.... Laertes and Fortinbras display their true
purpose in the play.
If we first examine the acts of Fortinbras we can see numerous

Fortinbras’s initial reaction to his fathers death, we know that from the
outset of the play he has already set out to avenge his fathers death.
“...Now, sir, young Fortinbras,
Hath in the skirts of Norway, here and there,
