Emily Dickinson dresses the scene such that mental pictures of sight, feeling, and sound come to life. The imagery begins the moment Dickinson invites Her reader into the "Carriage."

- 452: Death Of A Salesman Vs. Hamlet
- Death Of A Salesman Vs. Hamlet Willy Loman and Hamlet, two characters so alike, though different.

The definition of a ... high moral estate, fall to a level of catastrophe, induce sympathy and horror in the audience, and usually die, and in doing so, re-establish order in the society. Hamlet follows this to a "T". Death of a Salesman does not fall within these set guidelines but is still considered tragic for reasons, though different, somewhat parallel those of Hamlet's. Hamlet, a rich young price of high moral estate suddenly ... kills Polonious believing him to be his father. Hilarity ensues. Ophelia, Hamlet's love interest, commits suicide/dies (that's up for debate elsewhere) after going slightly mad from the impact of her father's death, then Laertes, Polonius' son, arrives on the scene enraged and ready to kill Hamlet for what he's done, and just when you thought things couldn't get any worse, unbeknownst to Hamlet, Claudius ...
- 453: Taoism
- ... when one dies is an integral part of these religions and the culture of the Chinese people. Although not accepted by our beliefs, its understanding helps build strength in our own religion. Reincarnation, life after death, beliefs are not standardized between the religions. Each religion has a different way of applying this concept to its beliefs. Ignorance of these beliefs is a sign of weakness in the mind. To truly understand ... achieve tao, to have reached the deeper life. This is the afterlife for a Taoist -- to be in harmony with the universe. To understand the relationship between life and the Taoism concept of life and death, the origin of the word tao must be understood. The Chinese character for tao is a combination of two characters that represent the words head and foot. The character for foot represents a person's ... means the beginning, the source of all things, or Tao itself, which never moves or changes; the foot is the movement on the path.

- 454: Dylan Thomas
- ... his grave is marked by a simple wooden cross- the way he would have seen fit. In July 1994 his wife, Caitlin, died in Italy. She had spent most of her years there since his death.(Bookshelf ’98) Thomas, one of the best known poets of the mid-twentieth century, is remembered for his highly original, obscure poems, his amusing prose tales and plays, and his turbulent, highly-publicized personal life ... His life) For the purpose of examining thematic consistency through multiple works let us consider two of his most famous poems: Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night and A Refusal to Mourn the Death, by Fire, of a Child in London. Both of these works deal with the close of our preciously, mysterious life force. One pleads that we "rage, rage against the dying of the light,"(Do Not ... life comes to its close. These two themes seem to conflict, but upon further analysis they come together to present us with a complete picture of Dylan Thomas’ feelings on the seldom understood subject of death. Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night is Thomas’ demands of his father to fight the approach of death when it can be seen on the horizon. The light obviously symbolizes his life ...
- 455: Psychoanalysis Of Hamlet
- ... to his mother. "Seems, madam? Nay, it is, I know not "seems." (1.2.76). When Hamlet says this, he is mocking his mother's question about why he is still mourning his father's death. Ironically, out of the love he still has for his mother, he yields her request to remain at the court. The long "repressed" need to take his father's place, by gaining his mother's ... These unconscious desires are struggling to find conscious expression, without Hamlet being the least aware of them (Jones). As the play goes on, Hamlet encounters his father's ghost. Upon discovering that his father's death wasn't natural, he says with much feeling that "Haste me to know't, that I with wings as swift/ As meditation, or the thoughts of love,/ May sweep to my revenge" (1.5.29 ... soul!/ My uncle!" (1.5.40-41). From here, Hamlet's consciousness must deal with the frightful truth (Jones). Therefore, when dealing with Claudius, Hamlet's attitude is extremely complex and intricate. The concepts of death and sexuality are interchangeable in this play (Adelman 271). To the reader, it is evident that Hamlet hates his uncle, but his despise of Claudius comes more from his jealousy than from anything else. ...

Church of Christ has been reproached with the crime of fornication and polygamy, we declare that we believe that one man should have one wife, and one woman but one husband, except in case of death, when either is at liberty to marry again. (History of the Church, Vol.2, Ch.18, p.247. Plural marriages, "Spiritual Wives" and rumors of such, including accusation about adultery mixed with secrete marriages, are ... C. The RLDS church has maintained this section to this day. The LDS church kept it in the Nauvoo editions 1844, 1845 and 1846. It was not removed until SLC 1876 Edition, just before the Death of Brigham Young, when section 132 was inserted.) They accuse me of polygamy, and of being a false Prophet, and many other things which I do not now remember; but I am no false Prophet ... the Commandment of God unto us."

- 458: Antigone: The Structure of Classical Tragedy and The Theme
- ... father, dear Antigone, And how we saw him die hated and scorned…And how his mother-wife, two names in one, Knotted a rope, and so destroyed herself…Our brothers fought each other to the death…" In her attempt to dissuade Antigone, Ismene reveals that Creon has demanded no one touch the body of Polynieces, Antigone’s brother, and death is the consequence for such action, justifying statements made at the beginning of the play. Creon has chosen to defy the laws of the gods concerning proper burial in order to make a scapegoat of ... him. And if I have to die for this pure crime, I am content, for I shall rest beside him;…" The audience applauds Antigone for her courage and sense of duty, yet mourns because the penalty for the crime is death.

Throughout the epitasis, a series of events furthering the conflict, fear and tension increase within the audience. ...
- 459: Hammurabis Code
- ... s laws are written down (of course), put into their respective categories, known by all the people, and obeyed by the courts. One example of a Hammurabi principle is that of a crime with a death sentence. When a person was tried for the death penalty, the trial was in front of a bench of judges, much like the juries of our government. The Hammurabi laws do seem quite harsh with most of them ending in death. But, as it ...
- 460: Effectiveness Of Capital Punishment Essays of Orwell, Mencken, and Parker?
- ... might exist at all. The end result is that Parker has done his sought out job as an effective author attempting to channel his readers personal opinions where he wants and so directs. Neither The Penalty of Death by Mencken nor A Hanging by Orwell conveys that same type of persuasiveness about them. Mencken produces too much emphasis on one single item of discussion, Katharsis, without expending necessary time on other opposing views ... I point the finger at Parker. “The overwhelming majority of the American people support capital punishment. Recent polls indicate that 72 percent of Americans favored executing murderers, the highest percentage since 1936. Support for the death penalty has risen sharply since 1966, when 42 percent of those interviewed favored the death penalty.” This passage comes from one of Parker’s opening statements in a paragraph. By opening up paragraphs with ...
