- 4091: ... a time of great change and excitement in England- a time of geographical discovery, international trade, learning, and creativity. It was also a time of international tension and internal uprisings that came close to civil war. Under Elizabeth I (reigned 1558-1603) and James I (reigned 1603-1625), London was a center of government, learning, and trade, and Shakespeare's audience came from all three worlds. His plays had to please ...
- 4092: Spotted Horses Vs. Mule In The
- ... using graphically realistic plots and endings, which are consistent to those in real life, interpretive literature achieves a higher literary value than escape literature. Interpretive literature allows its reader too step out of the fantasy world they might be living in and focus on what the world is really about. One might say an interpretive story provides insight to understanding. Not only understanding of ourselves, but our neighbors, friends, family or anyone else we might encounter. Escape literature is the complete opposite of interpretive literature. Escape literature is written purely for entertainment. Escape literature takes it s reader out of the real world and into a fantasy world where everything works and happens just like we want it to. This is a world where the ending always has closure. Escapist authors hardly ever end on a bad ...

- 4094: Irish Potato Famine
- Irish Potato Famine Cronin 1 Throughout the ordeal of the Irish Potato Famine, c. 1845 - 1850, people throughout the world formed many different views on the situation. Those views formed mainly through information fed to world news agencies by the British government, the ruling power in Ireland at the time. While the Irish starved for lack of food and medical aid, the English government looked on with callous disinterest. English families feasted on Irish-grown grains and wheat, as well as sheep, calves and swine exported from Ireland. Meanwhile, the rest of the world ignorantly believed there was nothing they could do, because that is how the English wanted it. Americans today generally view the history of An Gorta Mor ("The Great Hunger") through cultural lenses, which tend ...

- 4096: The Women Of Jane Austen
- ... quo of her time: Marriage, almost inevitably the narrative event that constitutes a happy ending, represents in their view a submission to a masculine narrative imperative that has traditionally allotted women love and men the world (Newman 693). In reality, Austen can not accurately be evaluated as an author (or feminist subversive) without first examining the eighteenth century English society in which she lived and placed her heroines. Watt says that ... her sister, she fulfill[s] her obligations as a daughter, a sister, and a member of society while trying to control the anguish of disappointed love (45). In most of her dealings with the outside world, Elinor represents the sense side of the equation. Her sister, Marianne, is quite different. Marianne, according to Liddell, lays an undue stress on the feelings and is blinded to reality by her overwhelming tide of ... be imagined, Jane admires Bingley for his person, not his yearly allotment. Therefore, Austen shows that Jane is unimpressed by social status alone. Yet, Jane seems a bit naοve in certain ways of the social world. She does not heed Elizabeth s warnings concerning the intentions of Mrs. Lucas and Miss Bingley. Jane does not even doubt Caroline Bingley when she writes to inform Jane, in terms of great affection ...
- 4097: The Lonely Soul Of Dasein
- This analysis makes no pretences of keeping with the psychological and moral convictions that Heidegger ignored. His structural analysis is simply not complete enough to represent Dasein s phenomenological orientation in the world without considering some aspects which are inherent to each Dasein such as a psychological history and a moral destination. Although speculation as to the reasons behind his choice to ignore such overwhelming attributes is forever possible, leaving out psychology and morality leaves Dasein with no soul. Dasein then is nothing more than a component of the world through other Dasein. One can only Be when one s Being is disclosed by Others until the they is escaped in Death. Heidegger doesn t enjoy the negative connotation of the word escape in the ... of the subconscious with the conscious before decisions are made and actions taken. The sum of the behavioral limitations of these reactions, symbolically speaking, equals the finite potential of possibilities after already-being-in-the-world. Thus behavior displays an abundant importance when considering Dasein s interpretation of events on an authentic as well as an inauthentic level. It seems that Heidegger shies away from psychology because behavior can vary ...
- 4098: Tragedy In Genesis
- ... Kaufmann remains myopic in his view. He writes: AAeschylus was, compared with Sophocles and Euripides, the most optimistic; he alone had the sublime confidence that by rightly employing their reason men could avoid catastrophes.

Instead of acknowledging that his ... whole train of suffering to ourselves and others which follows from our decisions and action. Education must help to create such sensitivity.@ People must be educated to be caring and considerate human beings. Since the world is in a constant state of crisis, every person must learn to view tragedy within the mundane. Instead of seeing themselves through the acting of actors, people begin to see themselves in relation to other people within the larger world . Tragedy can no longer be viewed in perfectly defined terms. Instead, significant learning lessons supplant any previous conception of tragedy. Benne instructs his readers to see the tragic within day to day life. Benne ...
- 4099: Frankenstein - The Question Of
- ... companion. Knowing that his first creation was evil should the doctor make a second? With the knowledge at hand, to Dr. Frankenstein, it is not at all morally correct to bring another monster into the world. Looking at this probelm with his family in mind, the doctor begins his work on the second monster. The first monster threatened Frankenstein and even his family. The monster angrily said to Frankenstein, "I can ... there is a chance that the monsters will not keep their promise and stay in Europe envoking fear into townfolk. The good doctor, trying to act morally, destroys the monster for the good of the world. The monsters can potentially take over whatever they please.

He stumbles upon the Grangerfords in darkness, lost from Jim and the raft. The ... a very personable narrator. He tells his story in plain language, whether describing the Grangerford's clock or his hunting expedition with Buck. It is through his precise, trusting eyes that the reader sees the world of the novel. Because Huck is so literal, and does not exaggerate experiences like Jim or see a grand, false version of reality like Tom Sawyer, the reader gains an understanding of the world Mark Twain created, the reader is able to catch Twain's jokes and hear his skepticism. The Grangerford's furniture, much admired by Huck, is actually comicly tacky. You can almost hear Mark Twain ...
