Why Did Ulysses Leave The Island?
Ulysses and his crew anchored on the island where the Sun Titan, Hyperion's cattle grazed. Ulysses reminded his crew about what Teiresias told them in Tartaraus about not eating any one of Hyperion's flocks or else they would encounter great disaster sent by the gods. Instead the Hellenes roasted wild pigs over a fire.

    Arthur Miller's Creation of Linda Loman in "Death of a Salesman"

    Never willing to accept defeat before her husband does, Linda Loman deals with her family on a daily basis. She has a husband, Willy who is a salesman searching to achieve the American dream both for himself and his sons, whom he quarrels with as much as he loves them. But Willy is getting old, and fear of his yet to be accomplished goals seem to speak to Linda. Some critics claim that Linda is "above self-pity" and that "her confidence in him is unshaken". Others complain that she "offers more encouragement than understanding". The reason for all the opposing ideas is because Arthur Miller effectively leads the readers to contradict our first impression of Linda. In the play "Death of a Salesman", the author Arthur Miller transforms Linda Loman from a frightened but encouraging victim to a manipulative villain who is hindering Willy's American dream.…
