- 1741: Sula
- ... Sula then has frequent sex, becomes a pariah, and craves "for the other half of her equation." (p.121) Without each other, both women are incomplete souls. Morrison demonstrates through these relationships with men that sexual relationships destroy the combined relationship of Nel and Sula and fragments their individual identity where friendship creates a whole person out of the two parts. Nel and Sula lose their common identity when men come ...
- 1742: Spin Cycle
- ... the success of the spin-control methods Kurtz describes. But there must be deeper explanations as well. Bill Clinton is the most investigated president since Richard Nixon--facing inquiries into Whitewater, campaign fundraising abuses, and sexual misconduct--and yet improbably began 1998 with approval ratings as high as those of Ronald Reagan. But the new year has brought a barrage of new allegations, and the president and his advisers face once ...
- 1743: Sonnet 138
- ... the reader to interpret its inclusion as a deliberate reinforcement of the speakers previous statement. So the poem ends, in stasis and impasse and bitter wit, where the lying seems less an image of sexual union than of frozen immobility. The dry humour and logic-play are offered as the only true way of rendering uncomfortable truths about human complexity and duplicity. In this sonnet, Shakespeare provides the reader with ...

- 1745: Sir Gawain And The Green Knight
- ... has much in common with the Anglo-Saxon hero, such as Beowulf. The strange, hostile world he encounters upon leaving Camelot, the many tests he endures, the crafty machinations of the Green Knight, and the sexual temptations that can so easily overcome a man - impress us with the realization that Gawain is an honorable fellow, subject to weakness and ambiguity. The thematic lines between the poems are of a general nature ...
- 1746: Road Less Traveled
- ... of extending ones limits implies effort, and love has a distinction between desire and action. Peck describes the act of "falling in love" as being "a specifically sex-linked erotic experience." He says this sexual orientation can be conscious or unconscious. I feel Peck is totally wrong. One can fall in love with someone and it not be related at all to sex. He also feels that love is merely ...

One way for a husband to divorce his wife would be on grounds of sexual infidelity on the wife's hand. This was, however, not an easy path to a divorce. Except from getting the permission of the Parliament to sue the wife, these different steps costed a good deal ...

Sal and Dean are impressed with the girls wide, curious, and innocent eyes, so much so they cannot have any sexual relations with them. They can only look upon them as they would the Virgin Mary. To Sal and Dean alike, the womens' eyes convey some hidden knowledge of a better world just beyond America. Learning ...

Casy felt you should not judge anyone but yourself, where as the Bible openly condemns certain situations, labels, sexual orient, behavior, and practices.
