and the Fool during a storm that he is "a man / More sinned against than sinning"‚ knowing that he also made mistakes‚ not only the others. But is King Lear really more of a victim than a guilty one? The most shocking and maybe also the most fatal sin of King Lear is the disinheriting and chasing out of Cordelia by her own father right at the beginning of the play. When Cordelia is asked by Lear to tell him how much she loves him she answers in a way Lear did not expect by not telling him sweet words

Balanchine’s Prodigal Son I was not familiar with this ballet at all although I have enjoyed Prokofiev’s music when watching Romeo and Juliet. It is not a long piece to watch and the dancing although slow in parts (when the Siren is doing her solo and the Pas de Deux) it is always interesting to watch. The principle male has to really be able to act and portray lots of different emotions – it’s not all about the dancing for this character. I thought for the time it was created quite a contemporary

Lustful Advances What are the seven deadly sins? They are the seven basic human vices that‚ when taken in excess‚ can be perceived as evil‚ and potentially injure or kill the person or people around them while indulging in said vices. Delving further into that topic I am focusing on lust. I doubt that there is a better example than that of the poem “To his Coy Mistress” by Andrew Marvell. Written between 1650 and 1652 it was first published in 1681 (by his housekeeper!) several years after his

have committed deadly sins… sinners? Well I honestly think that we are all sinners. The extent or amount of our sins may vary but not one of us can say they we perfect. I strongly feel that you would all agree that Christina is just a regular woman who wanted to care for her family but got caught in the sad aftermath of her large mistake. When we look at the whole character of Christina from beginning to end we will be able to note that she is just a regular person who did commit sins. We can also

Max Brudvig Scandinavian Literature Authun and the Seven Virtues As long as there has been recognized sin in recorded history‚ there has been the virtuous equivalent by which good people live their lives.

Introduction The term "demons" was not always understood to have the absolutely negative connotation that it does today. Homer used the terms "demons" and "gods" more or less interchangeably. Another opinion was that demons were intermediaries between men and gods‚ and that demons had once been men. Plutarch speaks of "human souls as commencing‚ first heroes‚ then demons‚ and afterward as advancing to a more sublime degree." Philo of Byblus seems to draw on this same tradition when he states

few people who actually believe that the war is something good‚ wholesome and useful. It is and has always been one of the worst and most disgusting‚ destructive events that can happen. But it is to the same degree wrong to accuse it of all the deadly sins existing in the world. Although war is always evil‚ sometimes it is the lesser evil‚ in some cases it is inevitable. I‚ of course‚ don’t support the idea that the war is necessary in socio-economical sense – there is such a point of view‚ stating
