- 381: Hamlet: The Cause of Ophelia's Insanity
- ... set up by Shakespeare during Ophelia's initial appearances in the play, aiding in the preparation for her subsequent mental deterioration. Pol. What is between you? Give me up the truth. Oph. He hath, ny lord, of late made many tenders Of his affection to me. Pol. Affection, puh! You speak like a green girl Unsifted in such perilous circumstance. Do you believe his "tenders" as you call them? Oph. I do not know, my lord, what I should think. (I, iii, ln.107-113) Ophelia openly professes her confusion. Polonius' response is presented in a manner which is clearly intended to sincerely disdain Hamlet before his daughter, making obvious his ... goal becomes clear, and in the midst of his pervading preoccupation, he pushes Ophelia to the point of mental breakdown. This notion appears in the second act, after Ophelia first sees a deranged Hamlet. Oph.

- 382: The Odyssey
- ... he has not returned. She does everything she can to obtain the marriage and family she has. Penelope is loyal and faithful wife who deserves to be happy again after waiting twenty long years for Lord Odysseus, her love. Penelope is a very loyal woman, she continues to show this throughout the book. She does everything she can just so she won't have to remarry. Penelope asks that the Akhians ... tell her that they'll never go anywhere else, until she takes and Akhaian to liking. Several incidents like this occurred throughout the book, and every time, Penelope refused. She believes very strongly that her Lord Odysseus will return home, partly because they have always had a strong marriage, partly because she's not ready to accept that he's "gone," and partly because of the passion and love that she ... twenty years after the battle has ended. Even still, she believes he will come home, and refuses to remarry. In Book XXIII, lines 13-21, Eurykleia is yelling at her to get up because her Lord is home. Her only response was, did the Gods put you up to this. She was convinced that it was al a mockery. She tells the nurse that "She had not dozed away so ...
- 383: Joseph Conrad
- ... and sociological plot within them. This is why Conrad’s work carries its own uniqueness from other novels when being compared to his. Examples of Conrad’s literature include novels such as Heart of Darkness, Lord Jim, and The Secret Agent. Heart of Darkness is basically based on his own experiences, but Conrad also adds fiction into this particular novel (Dintenfass 1). It has been said that Conrad’s style of ... any] experience in some [significant] and concrete way, with all its complexity and messiness, all its darkness and ambiguity, intact" (Dintenfass 3). An additional novel with similar characteristics of the novel Heart of Darkness is Lord Jim. Not much is said about Lord Jim, but it has been known that Conrad most likely will place metaphors in his novel when describing a location extrinsic from any common place. The reason for adding metaphors is because Conrad attempts ...
- 384: The Many Faces Of Love In Arth
- ... with a pair of giants. This passage also brings the element of religion and the work of divine hands into the discussion of love: “Save for the fact that all your works are without blemish, Lord, I would accuse you of a misdeed in allowing me to live on, since you have taken from me the one man for whom I was to live my life…. Yet if it is not your will to return him to me, then be reminded, Lord God, that all the world is familiar with the words that you have spoken…: that a man and his wife shall be one body.” The poet reminds us here that love involves, in his view ... being. The second way in which Hartmann’s concept of love differs from that of the two previous authors discussed is his intermingling of love with the almighty. When Enite laments her plight to the Lord, she reminds Him “that a man and wife shall be one body” (Hartmann, Erec, 129). This brings a whole new variable into the equation of love: God. Neither Geoffrey nor Wace mention God as ...
- 385: Sociopolitical Philosophy in the Works of Stoker and Yeats
- ... will accompany Dracula's descent upon England, or, in other words, modern civilization. Before most of the characters experience the wrath of Dracula, Renfield begins to act wild and speaks of the arrival of his lord. This is one of the perversions of Christianity that Stoker employs to show the demonic nature of the vampire. Dr. Seward notes in his diary, “All he would say was:- ‘I don't want to ... 132). It is here that Renfield acts as a demonic form of John the Baptist. Just as John the Baptist prepared people for the coming of Christ, Renfield prepares people for the coming of his lord and master, Dracula. Another example of a perversion of Christianity is Lucy Westenra. After her blood has been drained several times by the Count, she finally dies on September 20th. An article in the Westminster ... Anglo- Ireland was founded. Cuchulain is a wild individual who is king over a certain area of land, and Conchubar pays him a visit to try to convince him to pledge his obedience to his lord and nation. After some time Cuchulain agrees to recognize Conchubar as his lord and thus subscribes to the rules of society. One may think that Cuchulain's pledging allegiance to Conchubar would be beneficial ...

- ... not what I do Inside the tomb of Capulet Romeo O Fair Juliet why must thou torture me so For even in death thy beauty is paralleled only by the stars in the sky. O Lord what great injustice hast thou done to thee For my love is gone And no greater crime against me can thou think of. Tis our familes’ to blame Not us.

- 387: Byron's Don Juan
- Byron's Don Juan One writer who has not recieved nearly enough credit for his works is George Gordon, who later became known as Lord Byron. This is the man who wrote his own poetical version of Don Juan. Don Juan is a man who is known for being able to arouse the desires of women and to love every one he meets. This Don Juan can be viewed, however, as a loosely disguised biography of Byron.

Back in this time it was very common for people to marry their ... father soon followed, but it wouldn't be long before he would disappear to France and end up dying in 1791. It was just as well because his parents never got along very well. In Lord Byron's early years he experienced poverty, the ill-temper of his mother, and the absence of his father. By 1798 he had inherited the title of 6th Baron Byron and the estate of ...

When Carton makes his decision to die for Lucie, the New Testament verse "I am the Resurrection and the Life, saith the Lord: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosever liveth and believeth in me, shall never die" (p.342), nearly became Carton's theme song. The words were repeated ... harsh and horrible experince to go through. Several deaths took place, which seemed, in those days, the center of attention.
