- 5062: King Lear Earl of Gloucester
- King Lear Earl of Gloucester The presence of the Earl of Gloucester in King Lear helps the audience to better understand the behavior of Lear because Gloucester becomes Lear’s source of sight to reality. This is so, because Gloucester learned the relationship between reality and appearances, which Lear has a problem of learning throughout the play. Also, the issue of sight and its relevance to clear vision is a recurring theme. Shakespeare's principal means of portraying this theme is through the characters of Lear and Gloucester. Although Lear can physically see, he is blind in the sense that he lacks insight, understanding, and direction. Because of Lear’s high position in society, he was supposed to be able to distinguish the good from the bad. First, he was easily deceived by his two eldest daughters’ lies.

- 5064: Symposium: Eros and the Philosopher
- ... for the way we think about human beings–defining Eros this way. What are the implications, in your opinion, of the fact that the philosopher is in-between complete wisdom and sheer ignorance. In Plato's Symposium, Diotima tells what the true lover is. She goes into great detail explaining to Socrates that the true lover is not someone that everyone can become easily. A lover has to be nurtured from ... in Socratic ignorance is like the true lover in a lot of the same ways, but they are alike ultimately in that they both know what they lack and are aware of what they don't know. This paper will make an attempt to explain the statement by further exploring the speech of Diotima as well as looking into the speech of Socrates in the Apology.

- 5065: Huck Finn Is A Very Troubled Young Boy
- ... very troubled young boy. He was brought up by his father deep in the woods just off the Mississippi River. His father strongly disliked society therefore he lived as far as possible from it. Huck's dad brought Huck up the hard way without a mother and instilled many of his beliefs into Huck. His dad lied constantly and was always drunk, his favorite saying was "I'm not stealing it I'm just borrowing it". Huck's dad borrowed many things and lied his way out of many situations. He passed some of these bad habits onto Huck which leads to my thesis that, Huck often finds himself in tight predicaments and being brought up the way he was, taught that lying and stealing aren't wrong, proved very useful in getting him out of many of these predicaments. Because Huck's father brought him up to be such a great liar and a stealer Huck has been able to ...
