- 13061: Analysis Of Oedipus, Seven Aga
- ... are two tragedies in life. The first is not getting what you want. The second is getting what you want." This paradoxal statement, when examined, can be found to have some truth in almost everyone's life. It is particularly valid in the works Seven Against Thebes, Medea, and Oedipus The King. A closer look at these works will show how these two statements truly can destroy a character. In Aeschylus's Seven Against Thebes, the truth to Wilde's statement is very evident. Once the king dies, it becomes clear to Polynius and Eteocles what they want. The goal for both of them is to become king. It is decided that Eteocles will ...

- ... another.” To what extent do you agree or disagree? The story of Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy. The two lovers go against their families and against their hate to be together but they don’t think about the consequences, which in the end are devastating.

- 13063: Antigone 6
- ... both base there actions on what they believe is right and wrong. The conflict arose when their ideals that backed up their actions on the burial of Polyneices clashed, creating a contradiction between morals. Antigone s side of the conflict held a much more divine approach, as opposed to the mundane path Creon chose to travel. Antigone feels that Creon is disregarding the laws of the heavens by ordering it unlawful for anyone to provide a proper burial for her brother Polyneices. Antigone s opinion is one that supports the Gods and the laws of the heavens. Her reasoning is set by her belief that if someone were not given a proper burial, that person would not be accepted ... his edict invaded her family life as well as the Gods. An important ideal in Ancient Greece was the belief that the government was to have no control in matters concerning religious beliefs. In Antigone s eyes, Creon betrayed that ideal by not allowing her to properly bury her brother, Polyneices. She believed that the burial was a religious ceremony, and Creon did not have the power to deny Polyneices ...
- 13064: Paul Simon: I Am A Rock
- ... The poem talks about people being sick of society, and want to be isolated from it.

- ... people to act against the occupation by staging a general strike. The German government supported the workers by giving them financial support. Inflation increased exponentially within Germany creating a growing concern over the Weimar Republic's capability to govern Germany. In August 1923, Gustav Stresemann became Chancellor of Germany. On September 26, Stresemann ordered the end of the general strike in the Ruhr and decided to pay reparations. Rightfully believing that there would be anger and revolts to his announcement, Stresemann had President Ebert declare a state of emergency. The Bavarian government was unhappy with Stresemann's capitulation and declared its own state of emergency on the same day as Stresemann's announcement. Bavaria was then ruled by a triumvirate which consisted of Generalkommissar Gustav von Kahr, General Otto von Lossow (commander of the army in Bavaria), and Colonel Hans Ritter von Seisser (commander of the ...

- ... cities?"(pg.104,428d) The next virtue, Plato discovers through the Socratic method, was courage. "This power to preserve through everything correct and law-inculcated belief about what is to be feared and what isn't is what I call courage."(105,430b) This virtue resided mainly in the guardians. Each soldier was trained from their childhood about what to fear and what not to fear. Courage was apparent in the soldier’s beliefs in the state laws as well as doing whatever was necessary to protect the state. Through the Socratic method, Plato makes an analogy of the soldiers to poorly dyed wool, stating that a soldier ... Courage is also found in the soul of the individual in the form of the spirit. The spirit acts as the guardian of the soul just as the soldier does for the city.
