I examined the role of Gods in two texts- Gilgamish and Antigone and I felt that each text defines the role of Gods in its own unique way. For Antigone‚ the role of Gods is indirect; this is shown in Antigone’s actions and beliefs as her character is obviously clear minded and always aware not only that honoring the divine was the right stand to take in any situation‚ but also how exactly to pay respect to them: "I know I’m pleasing those I should please most" (line 88).

Passage Analysis The excerpt on pages 39 and 40 of The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is actually a quote of what Douglass proclaims to ships he sees in Chesapeake Bay.

The whole passage actually has a dramatic structure with rising action (lines 1-5)‚ a climax (lines 6-14)‚ and falling action (lines 15-24). Douglass’ lone speech to God isn’t just about him; it also describes many common feelings

I think that the Cold War has done the most to shape our world today. Two key events that took place during this era was the questioning of the Treaty of Versailles and the failure of the League of Nations. After World War I and II‚ the Allies did not require a total surrender from Germany during the first World War‚ which made some believe that the Treaty of Versailles was disagreeable towards the German people.

Antigone Essay Haemon’s Actions In the play Antigone by Sophocles‚ every character has its position and they demonstrate it through their actions. Haemon is Creon’s son‚ he is engaged to Antigone at the beginning of the story. He is a strong character that doesn’t cause many problems but stands for what he believes in. Some might argue he is naive but he actually just stands for what he thinks is right. He tries to reason with his dad‚ threatens in order to get his way‚ and actually does as he

think of about rights of passage‚ most often thoughts that come to our mind are ceremonies like birth‚ puberty and marriage. Rites of passage are things we experience during our entire lifetime from the beginning to the end. These things‚ however‚ are different from initiations because an initiation is something where you have to prove yourself in order to be accepted‚ but a rite of passage is about a more personal acceptance into your own life. And in my opinion the passage into adulthood is the most

Meaning and Muddle in the Marabar Caves: A Look at E.M. Forster’s A Passage to India In E.M. Forster’s A Passage to India‚ the Marabar Caves occupy an important part of the plot. The purpose of this deserves exploration considering Forster entitles the entire second part of his novel to them. Are these caves symbolic of an exploration into one’s own subconscious?

Unsurprisingly‚ this dynamic of male dominance extended into their theatre practice‚ in which men played all of the characters--even the female characters--and men composed the entire audience (Della Gatta). Remarkably then‚ Antigone and Lysistrata both feature strong and assertive titular heroines‚ despite the androcentric culture in which they were were conceived and performed. Rather than challenging the patriarchal organization of society‚ however‚ these plays reinforce the
