- 422: Bible - Role Of Abraham
- ... all the qualities God desires for his people. God says of Abraham, "For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment". Thus, a study of Abraham s character is a study of the Hebrew people s character, and, ultimately, a study of the qualities God desires for all people. At the ... a violent, immoral place. Chapter 14 of Genesis describes the many bloody wars that are occurring around Abraham, and cities like Sodom and Gomorrah are full of men who are "wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly". Abraham stands as a unique figure for his time, avoiding fights whenever possible and always following God s orders, meant as an example to the rest of the world. Instead of the mass destruction ... somewhere else. The only time Abraham openly disagrees with God, or questions his actions, is when He tells Abraham of the coming destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Abraham says to Him, "Oh let not the Lord be angry", and asks God to spare the good people living there. Abraham repeatedly shows his desire for compromise and avoids fights whenever possible. The instinct for violence and forced personal gain mankind possesses ...
- 423: Canterbury Tales (reeve Charac
- ... people. After Chaucer presents the physical characteristics of the Reeve, he then describes the Reeve’s occupation. A reeve by definition is a minor official or superintendent on an estate, generally an intermediary between a lord and his serfs. His job included being responsible and accountable for all his master’s accounts and animals, as shown in this excerpt from The Canterbury Tales: “His swin, his hors, his stoor, and his pultrye was hoolly in the Reeves governinge, and by his covenant yaf the reckeninge, sin that his lord was twenty-yeer of age (600-603).” This excerpt shows the Reeve controlling what happens with his master’s property and taking care of his financial situation because the master himself was too young to ... master’s estate and he himself had grown rich from his success as a superintendent, not hesitating to shower his master with gifts to gain even more favor with him: “He coude bettre than his lord purchace. Ful riche he was astored prively His lord wel coude he pleasen subtilly To yive and lene him of his owene good And have a thank, and yite a cote and hood(610- ...
- 424: Arthur Henderson as Foreign Secretary
- ... available information, and never assumed a formal / hostile attitude. And furthermore totally understood the House of Commons. Henderson's largest test came with the rumour of and eventual resignation of the High Commissioner of Egypt - Lord Lloyd. Foreign Policy in Egypt was what concerned Henderson the most, the background of which was tense and often hostile. Since the war there had been extreme tension between Egypt and Britain. In 1922 Lord Allenby mentioned that the strong repressive measures taken against Egypt were making relations increasingly worse. Finally a declaration was posted stating that Egypt was to be an independent foreign state. However, before this could be ... approach to reopen the discussions came solely on behalf of Mahmoud.

- 425: Candid Analysis
- ... see his darling Cunegonde again. He seldom dwells on his misfortunes, and looks to the future for hope while many of the other characters mull over what a horrid existence they lead. The Venetian Nobleman, Lord Pococurante relates to Candide in a manner slightly different than most of the other characters. While most other characters differ from Candide by their pessimism (most notable Martin, who seems to be the antitheses of Candide's optimism), Lord Pococurante is unhappy with life because he is supremely jaded with what the world has to offer. He is thus Candide's opposite as much as Martin, though the opposition is based upon the noble ... sentiments of Voltaire, as he is constantly being proven right, as when he predicted the misery of Paquette and Friar Giroflee, and also when he predicted their increased misery by Candide's donation. Similar to Lord Pococurante, Martin was jaded with the world, though not to such an extreme degree. Martin may also represent reason, and it is through this reason he realizes so much about the world, and is ...
- 426: Characters From Shakesperes Tw
- ... chief comic conspirator in Twelfth Night. The Elizabethan Twelfth Night celebration, which corresponded to the feast of the Epiphany, coming twelve days after Christmas, was often organized and dominated by a jolly person called the Lord of Misrule, who was in charge of the frolics and pranks that were so popular at this time of year. Many modern critics have quite naturally seen in Sir Toby Shakespeare's embodiment, in a play written expressly for the Twelfth Night festivities, of this same Lord of Misrule. Certainly Toby fits all the requirements of the part exactly. Hard-drinking, healthy, strong-willed, jovial and fond of every kind of merrymaking-plots, puns and brawls as well as wine, women and ... Henry IV plays that Shakespeare wrote another whole play (The Merry Wives of Windsor) just for him. Perhaps, indeed, the playwright was trying once again to recapture his success with Falstaff in "Twelfth Night's Lord of Misrule. In any case, Toby's antics are always a hit with audiences, though an Elizabethan audience probably appreciated them even more than we do today. Of course, Toby has many faults, too. ...

Her life became filled with gloom and despair until she met Judge Otis P. Lord late in her life. Realizing that they were well into their lives they never were married. When Lord passed away.

- 428: Oliver Cromwell
- Oliver Cromwell was an English soldier and statesman who led parliamentary forces in the English Civil Wars. He was lord protector of England, Scotland, and Ireland from 1653 to 1658 during the republican Commonwealth. As a general on the parliamentary side of the English Civil War vs. Charles I, Cromwell helped bring about the overthrow ... cousin. Then in 1640 Cromwell was elected a member of the Parliament for the borough of Cambridge (partly because of the important social position he held in Ely and partly because of his fame as "Lord of the Fens,") he found himself among many friends at Westminster who were highly critical of the monarchy.

- 429: Anne Hutchinson
- ... this `Hell Gate.' Proud Jezebel has at last been cast down." (As quoted in D. Crawford, p. 137.) John Winthrop is again comparing Anne to Jezebel, a character from the Old Testament who killed the Lord's prophets, promoted Baal worship, and was eaten by the dogs after her death for her wickedness. (1 Kings 18:4, 1 Kings 16:32-33, 2 Kings 9:30-37.) This hardly seems a fair comparison to a loving woman who spent her life serving others, and trying to show others the way she thought was right in the eyes of the Lord. Anne was known in the colony as a cheerful neighbor, one who assisted at birthings, cared for the sick, even the Indians. (D. Crawford, p. 91.) Though she was vigorous and outspoken, she won over ... he or she would ask for it, and listen to the answer. 7. Indian slavery is wrong - people of all skin colors are of one blood. 8.

- ... as a warrior, and a character who transforms throughout the story: To you I will now put one request, Royal Scylding, Shield of South Danes, one sole favor that you will not deny me, dear lord of your people, now that I have come so far, Fastness of Warriors; that I alone may be allowed, with my loyal and determined crew of companions, to cleanse your hall Heorot As I am informed of this unlovely one is careless enough to carry no weapon, so that my lord Hygelac, my leader in war, may you take joy in me, I abjure utterly the bearing of sword or shielding yellow board in this battle! With bare hands shall I grapple with the fiend, fight to the death here, hater and hated! He who is chosen shall deliver himself to the Lord's judgment (Beowulf 64-5).
