    Gilgamesh and Antigone

    • 679 Words
    • 3 Pages

    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). After realizing the fact

    Gilgamesh was a pitiable character in that his behavior was oppressive‚ prideful and egotistical in his actions against his people of Uruk. Gilgamesh’s actions displayed poor qualities of a true leader and he abused his powers by using them against his people. An admirable trait of a great leader that is never expressed is loyalty‚ which Gilgamesh did not show to his people by sleeping with their wives and daughters. He excessively worked his people with forced labor along with exhausting subjects

    Gilgamesh and Beowulf

    mostly about brave heroes and teach lessons. The two tales I’m comparing are Beowulf and Gilgamesh. Beowulf the warrior and Gilgamesh the Wrestler had the stuff that legends were made of. They were fearless leaders who faced great difficulty with the challenges they had to face. And‚ as a result of their actions‚ each one became kings of powerful nations. Beowulf had the Germanic tribes while Gilgamesh ruled the first great civilization of the Mesopotamian era. Even though they are very

    Metamorphosis Comparison

    From both essays‚ what really stuck out to me the most was at the end of “The Beetle in the Story “the Metamorphosis’”. The author of this essay points out how music was the one thing that “fed” the beetle. When Gregor was the beetle he says the sound of the violins fulfilled an unknown nourishment. The author of the essay points out how this is Kafka showing that music was a big part of his rough childhood by saying that the nourishment the bug felt was the relief that Kafka felt. Right away

    Dictionary defines existentialism as a concept of “[assuming] ultimate responsibility for acts of free will‚” this meaning that a person has control over their ultimate destination in life through the choices they make. Some may say that this describes Metamorphosis and the journey that Gregor undertakes. The novella is‚ in truth‚ a perfect example of the opposite of existentialism. The first counter-argument to the idea of existentialism that presents itself in the novella was at the very beginning. The
