Instead of accepting the concept of dual definitions or paradigms of tragedy, Kaufmann remains myopic in his view. He writes: AAeschylus was, compared with Sophocles and Euripides, the mos .....

Tragic Differences

The rotting corpse remained in that room for quite a few years, and it is evident that Emily had contributed to Homer’s death.

Tragic Heroes In King Lear, Ha
.... When, the truth all comes out on the tragic hero he can’t control it and it puts him in a jam. In tragedy, usually the truth is what will cause the downfall of the tragic hero. In every tragedy, there is always more and more complication that adds on to the problem for the tragic hero. All these problems keep adding on until the end when the tragic hero has to accept them all and deal with them. As George Lukas said, “Tragedy can extend only in one direction: upward, it begins at the mom .....

Traits Of An Epic Hero
.... to give to his men to put in their ears so they didn't have to listen to the Siren's songs.

.... the “norm” is. Thoreau tells us to live our own life, whether it be good or bad, it is ours. “However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it or call it hard names”(247).

Transcendentalism 3
.... 45) According to Emerson, a truly self-sufficient person can accomplish anything in life without the help of others.
Emerson was also a believer in non-conformity. “Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist” (Self-Reliance 26).

Society as a whole does not always do what is right; therefore, each person should stray from the normal an .....

Both women stand by the door while the men go over to the stove to warm themselves up. The fact that the two women are behind the men is a way of introducing the fact that women are inferior to the men and are supposed to follow behind their husbands. In the beginning of the play y .....

Troublesome Farmhouse
.... blood trickled through Louis's fingers as he held his knees and screamed in pain. To see how badly Louis was injured, Lee took a box of matches out of his pocket and lit them all at once. The rocks around them danced with yellow and orange light that emitted from Lee's blistered hand.

The second character in the poem is the speaker’s neighbor, who is more down to earth. He is a decent person but seems to lack the intelligence of the speaker to accept any outside opinions. To prove this point, the neighbor repeats .....

It was a three-day road trip but in grandmothers distorted eyes that was too long for the cat to be with her for. “She didn’t intend for the cat to be left alone in the house for three days because he would miss her too much and she was afraid he might brush against one of the gas burners and accidentally asphyxiate himself.” If she had been more self assured on life she would never think “what if” the cat rubs against the stove.
