Odysseus As The Epic Hero In T
.... these two severe hazards. Odysseus was left with a huge decision. Should he sail closer to Scylla or Charybdis? He chose to come closer to Scylla, and this showed how he could make major decisions under great pressure with reasons for the decision. If they had gone near Charybdis, all of them would most likely drown. Since they were going towards Scylla, it was almost sure that six men would be snagged by the monster, but this would be better than everyone dying. Odysseus chose not to tell his .....

Oedipus As An Epic Poem By Ari
.... amount of dramatic irony.
Oedipus the King, written by Sophocles in the 400’s BC, is about a young Greek who was fated to murder his father, marry his mother, and while in the process become the king of Thebes. This play is no exception to Aristotles’ definition of a tragedy. The play includes all the key elements of a Greek tragedy,

Oedipus The King
.... disastrous and sad end. In most cases, intelligence and diligence are valuable traits to possess, but for Oedipus they contributed to his eventual downfall. Oedipus was known for being extremely intelligent and was very talented at solving riddles. To earn the right to be King of Thebes, Oedipus solved a riddle, which as a result removed a plague from the land. In the play, Oedipus is again faced with another plague in his kingdom and this time the riddle was to discover who murdered King Laius. Usin .....

Oedipus The King 3
.... self-assertion. And the human being who sets himself or herself up to live life only on their own terms, as the totally free expressions of their own wills, is going to come to a nasty end. However grand and imaginatively appealing the tragic stance might be, it is essentially an act of defiance against the gods (or whoever rules the cosmos) and will push the tragic hero to an act of inevitable self-destruction. We cannot have life entirely on our own terms for very long.
What makes Oedipus so compel .....

Oedipus Vs. Society
.... because sitcoms and movies will not sell in today's society without sex and violence.
In the future, life in general will eventually become a game involving survival of the fittest and killing your next door neighbor before he kills you. Movies and television should be screened so only kids mature enough to know the difference between Hollywood and real life can watch movies with hardcore violence and sex in them.

Of Mice And Men 6
.... for the briefness but there is so much to say about the book, that I have gone overboard already in words.)
My perspective of Mice and men
I think this book is really excellent, not just the story but the way it is written, it is so well detailed, and Steinbeck describes it so incredibly, you feel as if you were that certain person, as if you were in the peoples minds, speaking as they were speaking, talking like they were talking and feeling how the characters wer .....

Only The Heart
.... They had a big trip ahead of them.
So the families escaped on a filthy boat. The book describes the terrible conditions on the boat quite well I think. The families and everyone on the boat were scared of getting caught, if they did they would be straight back to Vietnam problem in a re- education camp. They were running out of food and fresh water when their first serious hardship came. Pirates found their boat sailing toward Malaysia and boarded it. The main leader Pirate wanted to take Phuong .....

After Cassio's drunken fight, Iago counsels him to speak to Desdimona about trying to convince Othello to reinstate him as lieutenant, all the while knowing that this will only prove helpful to his plan of havi .....

Othello - William Shakespeare
.... 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 .....
