Oscar Wilde wrote himself into history as a sharp and pungent writer and an exceptional personality with a suitable epigram at hand for every occasion. He is‚ though‚ perhaps most well-known for his infamous relationship with Lord Alfred Douglas‚ which resulted in Wilde being sentenced to two years of hard labor for homosexual offences.

clear on why people stereotype and the effect it has on others. Judging others before you get to know them is very unfair and unkind. Especially judging them based on other people’s opinions or just off of rumors. In Heilbroner’s essay he quoted Walter Lippman’s saying‚ "For the most part we do not first see‚ and then define; we define first‚ and then see". This is very important because it is pointing out a flaw that we as humans have in society. What we don’t do is get to know a person first then

Vita femina. To see the ultimate beauties in a work all knowledge and good will is not enough; it requires the rarest‚ good chance for the veil of clouds to move for once from the summits‚ and for the sun to shine on them. We must not only stand at precisely the right place to see this‚ our very soul itself must have pulled away the veil from its heights‚ and must be in need of an external expression and simile‚ so as to have a hold and remain master of itself. All these‚ however‚ are so rarely

girl. The prominent theme of this poem is of idealistic love and pleasure. Carpe diem was a popular subject in poems of this era‚ and this also shows as a theme. The speaker urges his love to live with him and enjoy the pleasures of the day. Sir Walter Raleigh wrote a response to this poem in 1600 called "The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd." He uses the young girl as the speaker‚ responding to the shepherd. There are no clues to the setting or the girl’s physical appearance. The themes of this poem
