- 1901: Macbeth - Lady Macbeth- Character Changes Throughout The Pla
- ... their actions more realistically. Macbeth started to succumb to the belief that deeds "must be acted ere they be scann’d,"(III.IV.140). Lady Macbeth in particular loses sight of rationality from the play’s beginning to end. She feigns an image of ruthlessness and believes she can handle the intrusion of unearthly evil in her mind and soul. She presents a seemingly stable foundation of control in which she clutches with an iron fist. As Macbeth becomes less dependent on his wife, she loses more control. She loses control of her husband, but mostly, of herself, proving her vacillating truth. Lady Macbeth’s character gradually disintegrates through a false portrayal of unyielding strength, an unsteady control of her husband and shifting involvement with supernatural powers. Throughout the duration of play Lady Macbeth’s truly decrepit and vulnerable nature is revealed. Lady Macbeth has been the iron fist and authority icon for Macbeth, yet deep down, she never carried such traits to begin with. This duality in Lady ...

- ... the Anglican Church and was buried at the Westminster Abbey, an honor reserved for only the most illustrious personages of Great Britain. The reason for the two scientists' very different fortunes is simple: Galileo couldn't prove the Copernican hypothesis but Darwin was able to demonstrate the truth of his theory of evolution." In the world of Galileo proof was what was needed to succeed with a scientific hypothesis. In the ... to succeed.

It was not their beliefs alone that led to their peer's views it was also the way each of them conducted themselves. Galileo worked his way to become a respected scientist by most of the intellectual community but he was also despised by many because of his background and because of his attitude towards others. Darwin was well respected by the intellectual community, but the difference was the way they conducted themselves when they were dealing with their hypothesizes.

- 1903: Black Like Me
- ... brave. If Griffin went through with this project he could be killed, starve, get sick, etc. I say this because Griffin was going down into the deep South as a black man but he didn't know anything about how the black behaved. Griffin could look like a black man but he may not have been able to act like a black man or have the mindset of a black man ... at that time. Griffin could get food or shelter as a white man anywhere by paying money, but as a black man he could be cold, starving in a rich area of town, and wouldn't be able to get food or shelter. Griffin also didn't know how to respond to white people of the time, so he would probably have to talk to black people to learn that. I also after his story was published there would probably be ...
- 1904: A Thing Of Beauty Is A Joy For
- ... in his odes. Emotion was the key element of any Romantic poet, the intensity of which is present in all of Keats poems. Keats openly expressed feelings ignoring stylistic rules which suppressed other poets. Keat s poems display a therapeutic experience, as many of his Odes show a sense of struggle to accept, and a longing to search for an emotion which he could feed off for his eternity. As romantics ... for a stanza rich in tactile and visual images which intensify this opening. The beauty of autumn is emphasised through phrases like; `ripeness to the core`, `swell the gord`, ` o verbrimmed their clammy cells . Keat s use of the adjective `plump` as a verb excels this `ripeness` and together intensifies the beauty, which is emphasised through the repetition of `more` and `still more`. Keats almost forces his subject at us. The ... pause after the `poppies` is symbolic as it arouses us and tempts us to smell and hence we are enticed by the drug. The pause after ` grannery floor`, reflects the carelessness mentioned and because it s a natural process to pause after sitting. Keats is helping the reader to visualise Autumn s movements through the stanza. In this stanza the syntax is longer unlike the first verse. In the line ` ...

- 1909: Omar Khayyam The Enigma

The paradox is that FitzGerald misinterpreted both Khayyam and his works in his translation to ... FitzGerald added to his editions of the Rubaiyat a biographical sketch entitled “Omar Khayyam: The Astronomer Poet of Persia.” In this he wrote his opinion that Khayyam was an anti-religious materialist who believed life’s only meaning was to be found in wine, song, and worldly pleasures: Having failed (however mistakenly) of finding any Providence but Destiny, and any world but this, he set about making the most of it ... he must have taken great delight, although it failed to answer the questions in which he, in common with all men, was most vitally interested2.... This was how Fitzgerald interpreted the minimal facts of Khayyam’s life. Many later studies of Khayyam reveal a more accurate description of his life and his writings. Omar’s full name was Ghiyath ud Din Abu’l Fatah Omar bin Ibrahim al Khayyam. From ...
