“For what is freedom? That one has the will to assume responsibility for oneself.” (Nietzsche. Twilight of the Idols. Trans. Hollingdale. Sect. 38). Everyone desires freedom but everyone cannot handle the responsibilities of freedom. I will compare J.S. Mill’s views on the social function of freedom with that of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s characters from both‚ the novel Notes From Underground and the excerpt; The Grand Inquisitor‚ also drawing supplementary arguments from Friedrich Nietzsche‚ while expressing

In sonnet 73‚ the speaker compares himself with an autumn tree‚ with twilight‚ and with the fire glowing from the ashes to give across the fact that he is getting old. The speaker says he had been “Consumed with that which it was nourish’d by.” In other words‚ he has being eaten up by time‚ which was something that once fed

Similarly‚ Wilbur H. Jennings depicts a tragic love story through “My Heart Will Go On.” Much like Zhong Yu‚ Rose from Titanic was in love with Jack‚ a man who she was forbidden from pursuing for status-related reasons. The song tells the story of how Rose constantly thinks about Jack and how she will never forget him‚ that he is always there in her heart. Jennings claims‚ “Love can touch us one time / And last for a lifetime / And never let go ’til we’re gone‚” (lines12-14). This further emphasizes

I think the most interesting link between vampires and queerness is how vampires demonstrate a unique embodiment of monsters as an allegory for social outcasts in that they explicitly and implicitly parallel those in the queer community and their proximity to heteronormative culture. Two semesters ago‚ I wrote a paper on how zombies are used as a metaphor for anti-black and anti-immigrant sentiment in Western culture.

Title: Eliot claimed to have made up the title‚ "The Hollow Men" from combining "The Hollow Land"‚ the title of a romance by William Morris with Kipling’s title‚ "The Broken Men". Many scholars believe this to be one of Ol’ Possum’s many false trails‚ instead believing it comes from a mention of ’hollow men’ in Julius Caesar or any of several references to Joseph Conrad’s Kurtz as hollow in some way (a ’hollow sham’‚ ’hollow at the core’). The title immediately presents us with the first of many

Shakespeare and Wilfred Owen expatiate on the common themes of manipulation‚ betrayal and conflict which arouse “vaulting ambition”‚ tremendous violence and great empathy within both the Elizabethan/Victorian audience and the modern day audience. Both writers explore how conflict can lead to both self-realisation and psychosis. Wilfred Owens “Mental Cases” depicts his personal viewpoint on the war and the government‚ and at the same time challenges society‚ religion and faith. Similarly‚ Shakespeare
