- 3091: Analysis Of King Lear With MLA
- Analysis of King Lear King Lear, by William Shakespeare, is a tragic tale of filial conflict, personal transformation, and loss. The story revolves around the King who foolishly alienates his only truly devoted daughter and realizes too late the true nature of his other two daughters. A major subplot involves the illegitimate ... Cordelia maintains throughout the play, and the sheer evil that Edmund displays until his plans are in ruins. In Lear we see a flawed figure who by misfortune and loss finally comes to revelation and personal transformation. In that sense, these characters are perfect tragic figures, perhaps not necessarily realistic but powerful and moving nonetheless. Works Cited Shakespeare, William. “King Lear” in The Contemporary Shakespeare-King Lear. Ed. A.L. Rouse ...

- 3096: The Color People
- ... Walker. All of these views are illustrated proficiently in Alice Walkers third novel, The Color Purple. Each one of these aspects had a lasting impression upon the ideals and notions of the time. Walker's writing's helped to break the racial barrier that existed in some people's minds. One way that the barrier was destroyed was through Walker's depiction of an imperfect black person. If a white person wrote about a less than perfect black person than it was considered racist. Now that a black person is writing about other blacks that are foretaking in acts that are, in their eye's, immoral and corrupt, the subject is brought into a new light. These actions are discussed out in the open, and the ...

- 3098: Why Rome Fell (a condensed version)
- ... my feelings concerning the work; however, I will attempt to show some of Gibbon's Causes for this decline. Two of Gibbon's causes are the political blunders of its emperors and their search for personal glory. These are especially obvious in his chapters on Constantine.

Gibbons argues that the ‘insensible' penetration of Christianity was fatal to the empire by undermining the genius of a great people. On ...

- ... efficiency. - food and service that can be easily quantified and calculated. Ritzer (1993) suggests that some MacDonaldised institutes have come to combine the emphases on time and money.
