- 18452: Muhammad

A heroine ...
- 18454: Comparison Of Daniel Sonnet 6
- "Comparison of Daniel's Sonnet 6 and Shakespeare's Sonnet 130" Daniel wrote a conventional love sonnet using the traditional Petrarchan style of putting the idea of love, or the mistress, on a pedestal. Shakespeare turned these ideas on their heads by portraying a mistress who was by no means special and most certainly unappealing. During Daniel's time there was a traditional way of writing love poems. Many of these poems talked of an unattainable woman whose love and perfection was so great she could only be considered to be divine. ...

- ... minister Dimmesdale above the scaffold and her husband, Chillingworth, in the crowd. From the very beginning, Hawthorne has brought these characters together in the ominous presence of the scaffold.

Chillingworth also emerges out of the darkness to call in the minister. In the final scaffold scene ... Pearl by his side, and Chillingworth at the bottom of the scaffold, just out of reach of the minister as he desperately attempts to stop him. After the confession, this becomes the site of Dimmesdale s death. The scaffold anthologized these meanings throughout the course of the novel. The scaffold serves as a place of update on the immediate, delayed, and prolonged effects of the sin. It carries Hester s initial guilt, Chillingworth s initial response of shock to the sin, Dimmesdale s insanity after Hester has already come to terms with the sin, Chillingworth s revenge affirmed in the night, and the eventual ...

At the beginning of Chapter V of the Theory of the Household, the distinct role of master and slave is defined. There is a principle of rule ... the body; and by virtue of it the master, who possesses the rational faculty of the soul, rules the slave, who possesses only bodily powers and the faculty of understanding the directions given by another's reason.
