- 3041: King Lear - Parrellelism In King Lear
- ... believes all men to be little more than animals. The pronounced resemblance of the plots was intentionally written by Shakespeare to satisfy the parallelism of both good and evil in King Lear. Furthermore, Gloucester's death in the secondary plot is a parallel to that of Lear's in the main plot, despite the fact that Gloucester does not have the tragic catastrophic death of Lear. In a way, Gloucester acts as a demonstration of what can occur when he endures immense suffering and avoiding insanity. Lear's anguish led him to insanity while Gloucester is led to despair ... of Edmund's plan. "My father, poorly led? World, world, O world! But that thy strange mutations make us hate thee, life would not yield to age." (IV.i.10-13) This parallels Lear's death as he also condemns his insightfulness and wronging Cordelia. "I have seen the day, with my good biting falchion. I would have made them skip: I am old now, and these same crosses spoil ...
- 3042: Dispossable Animals
- ... 150 years of animal “models” have produced 25 drugs “proven” effective against stroke, none of which works in humans. The drugs Oraflex, Selacryn, Zomax, Suprol and Meritol produced such adverse side effects in humans, including death, that they were removed from the market, though animal experimentation had predicted them all to be safe. One of the few studies that examined the differences in species reactions found only a 5-25% connection ... 150 years of animal “models” have produced 25 drugs “proven” effective against stroke, none of which works in humans.

- 3043: Influences Of Socratic Philoso
- ... end. Although he never once wrote a line, Socrates would become one of the philosophers who has had the greatest influence on European thought, not least because of the dramatic manner or circumstances of his death, which have been questioned for 2,400 years. He would however not be the first or last to have seen things through to the bitter end, and suffer the punishment of death for the sake of his convictions. Since Socrates recorded none of his discussions or thoughts on philosophy, we know of his life mainly through the works of Plato, who was a pupil of Socrates. Plato ... today's ideas of morals, ethics, etc. Socrates has proven to be the single most influential philosopher the world has yet seen, as his concepts last even in the present, 2,500 years after his death. Such impacts have been made by one man that an entire period of philosophy has is referred to as "Socratic" philosophy. Lasting impressions of Socrates' issues include in a sense, questions which the philosopher ...
- 3044: King Henry IV Part 1 - Hal
- ... that he would have grieved for Falstaff - "I should have a heavy miss of thee / If I were much in love with vanity" - if he had not reformed. (V:4:107) Hal takes Falstaff's death in course, accepts it, and moves on. He is now a Prince, and it seems like his thoughts and actions are on high. But Hal's thoughts aren't on high moral ground. He's ... coming into the battle that Hal has no great love for a man with whom he has spent many years, and that his motives are far from pure. The division widens at Falstaff's [supposed] death. Hal finally feels free to express his relief at no longer having to worry about Falstaff. Again, his first words are to completely lapse, jabbing at Falstaff's weight. But he does not recover as well here as he did with Hotspur, and continues to show how little he cares for his supposed friend. "Death has not struck so fat a deer today,/ Though many dearer in this bloody fray." (V:4:109-110) So not only is Falstaff the fattest man in battle, but he's also fairly ...
- 3045: Dimitri Shostakovich
- ... Quartet No. 5 (1951), he offered an elaborate answer to those who would have had him renounce completely his "style and musical integrity." (Volkov) His 10th Symphony, composed in 1953, the year of Stalin's death, flew in the face of Zhdanovism, yet, like his Fifth Symphony of 16 years earlier, compelled acceptance by "sheer quality and directness." (Fanning) From that time on, Shostakovich's biography is essentially a catalog of ... which he based his 13th Symphony (1962), including rights and royalties. The work was withdrawn after its first performance. He tried again with his 14th Symphony (1969), presented as a cycle of 11 songs about death, which did not satisfy official circles. The composer had visited the United States in 1949, and in 1958 he made an extended tour of Western Europe, including Italy (where he had already been elected an ... 1966 he was awarded the Royal Philharmonic Society's Gold Medal. Despite relentless repetition in much of his music, which might suggest a reserved personality, Shostakovich was noted for his outgoing nature. After Prokofiev's death in 1953, he was the undisputed champion of Russian music. There was no reason to doubt that he was a sincere Communist, indicated by his participation in political conferences. Yet as a composer he ...
- 3046: Julius Caesar - Mark Antony
- ... course of history. To prove his loyalty, Antony gives a confident and persuasive speech at Caesar’s funeral despite an extreme danger on his own life. First, Antony expresses his sadness and grief over the death of his distinguished friend. However, as the speech progresses, Antony’s emotions transform into extreme anger towards the conspirators when he says to the crowd, "Look you here, here is himself/Marred as you see ... s ambition and he will follow the path of the ruthless tyrant. As the play progresses, Antony develops a ruthless state of mind. He forms into a relentless tyrant much like Caesar was before his death. Cassius probably describes him best as a "shrewd contriver". Antony first shows his fierceness in his speech at Caesar’s funeral. He speaks of the conspirators sarcastically calling them "honorable" men. He enrages the people ... has created civil war in Rome and he has no concern for the welfare of the citizens who will suffer in the strife. Antony again shows his ruthlessness when he condemns his own nephew to death by saying, "He shall not live; look, with a spot I damn him" (IV i 6). The way in which Antony says these words show his unrelenting mind. Antony is willing to ignore all ...
- 3047: Religion
- ... has to offer. The Inquisition, "judicial institution, established by the papacy in the Middle Ages, charged with seeking out, trying, and sentencing people guilty of heresy."2 Heretics were considered enemies of the state. The penalty for heresy was torture and death. The crucifixion of Jesus Christ, "Jesus was taken to Golgotha and nailed to a cross, the Roman punishment for political offenders and criminals."2 The Crusades, "The name Crusade (from Latin, "Cross") was also applied ...
- 3048: Julius Caesar - Brutus Character Analysis
- ... the quote says, Brutus would not allow Caesar to rise to power and then turn his back onto the people of Rome. After the assassination of Julius Caesar, Brutus talks to Antony about Caesar's death. "Our hearts you see not; they are pitiful; and pity to the general wrong of Rome..."(act 3, scene 1, ll.185-186). Brutus says that Antony cannot see their(members of the conspiracy) hearts ... way, and we will grace his heels with the most boldest and best hearts of Rome. "(act 3, scene 1, ll.135-136). Again, if Brutus leads the way, the people will think that the death of Julius Caesar wasn't such a bad thing. Brutus also declares to himself that his role in the conspiracy is to save Rome. He says to the people that, "If then that friend demand ... Caesar. Cassius and the rest of the conspirators would probably not have continued on without Brutus because they would have no "insurance" afterwards. The people would think that there was no reason for Caesar's death and most likely beheaded all the conspirators. Also, if Brutus was not in the play, the whole end of the play would not ever occur. Brutus would not be there to have an army ...
- 3049: Julius Caesar
- ... words or even tone of voice they may misrepresent them and may be misinterpreted. Brutus, Cassius, and Antony had motives for their actions. I will explain what each of them stood to gain from the death of Caesar. Brutus, servant and close friend to Caesar, has a strong relationship with Caesar but a stronger relationship with Rome and it people. Brutus was a very noble man. He tries to justify the death of Caesar but he can not get the thought of cold-blooded murder out of his mind. One of the reasons Brutus would conspire against Caesar is that he loved the Roman people more than ... we must learn to be aware of other people's thoughts and feelings, of not just what is going around us, but also of their attitudes towards us. Shakespeare showed that one should not bring death to someone based on his or her personal desires. If Caesar had listened to others more, and Brutus paid more attention to his judgment, both would have lived a long prosperous life.
- 3050: Multinational Companies
- ... that have the hunger for the products that the Third world is producing. Most of us do not realize that the banana we eat, or the juice we drink, could be causing pain and ultimately death to the peasant that cultivates it. This being said, it is ultimately us, not the multinationals that are causing death in the Third world? Are they just feeding off of our hunger and turning a profit? The bottom line is that if most of us knew about the deaths we were causing because of our ... stop them, only the law can. The poor people of the world can only take so much. We must stop these multinational companies before they conform into a slave labour establishment once again and cause death to the innocent trying to make an honest buck and created an except able livelihood for them and their families. All this just torture and greed just to make some money.
