According to Greek mythology‚ “the ages of man” are phases that humans have gone through over time‚ since having existed on Earth. While most are familiar with Shakespeare’s poem “The Seven Ages of Man”‚ many are not familiar with Hesiod’s five‚ and Ovids four interpretation of the stages of mankind.

William Shakespeare’s comedy The Merchant of Venice. However‚ the categorization of the play as a comedy has troubled people for some time. It is clear that if Shylock were removed from the play all of the problems that surround the play’s comedic status would disappear. Shylock functions as less of a man‚ and more of an object to reveal the social injustices at work in the play‚ and in the period in which the author lived. Consider the first scene in which we are introduced to Shylock on the streets

of Shells Being unable to fully fit in a society where most of the people tend to behave and act in a similar way should be challenging and even distressful. Chekhov’s “The Man in the Shell” – told by a third person narrator- is a short story that from my standpoint talks about the idea above.

However rather unconventionally like the typical Shakespearian sonnet this poem does not follow any rhyming metre. This could also be an ironic tool in order to portray the rejection of love and amy also be a metaphor in itself to portray the disjointed rhythm of the characters life. It is a sonnet like form in its visual

Reading through the novel The Old Man and the Sea one‚ as a reader‚ can perceive several themes in the book. Hemingway suggests certain subjects for discussion which built up the whole plot‚ therefore giving us options to choose the one we believe is the main one. In the past weeks we have been discussing‚ in a debate‚ which is that main theme. My group’s theme was "Man Defeated" and although it is hard to affirm that this theme was the prevailing one of the book‚ we firmly defend it. Various arguments
