“Odysseus is too thoughtless‚ selfish and deceitful to be a real hero.” How far do you agree with this view? Yes‚ I do agree that Odysseus was thoughtless‚ selfish and deceitful but these qualities were necessary for him to complete his journey and be seen as a hero on his return to Ithaca. Greek heroes like Odysseus were greater than the average man and achieved much notoriety and fame by being thoughtless‚ selfish and deceitful. Inevitability Odysseus‚ curiosity led him to make bad decisions after

Most of the movies I have seen pretty much have the same screenplay‚ it seems‚ with some small differences in most and some have a scene or two the others don’t.

Maybe the man acts in a selfless way due to selfish beliefs. The whole image of religious self-sacrifice by the man is probably what McCarthy intended

The author has laid out cases that are suggesting that Human Cloning is needed; I think that some of the cases were purely for the good of the people/masses while some are extremely selfish. When I stated “good for the people/masses” I meant it in the terms of being egocentric.

The Valley’s bleak and barren nature provides a contrast to the loudness and brightness of New York‚ which represents wild and selfish behaviour‚ and the pursuit of pleasure‚ illustrated by the fact that Tom and Myrtle’s affair occurs there. The drunken debauchery of Tom and Myrtle’s party demonstrates New York’s lack of moral depth‚ and the idea that people feel that they can act
