truth about her late husband's behavior ( ). Like "A Doll's House", "Ghosts"
can be misinterpreted as simply an attack on the religious values of Ibsen's
society. While this is certainly an important aspect of the play, it is not,
however, Ibsen's main point. "A Doll's House" set a precedent for "Ghosts" and
the plays Ibsen would write in following years. It established a method he
would use to convey his views about individuality and the pursuit of social
freedom. The characters of "A Doll's House" display Henrik Ib .....

Caesar's body for everyone to see made them see for themselves the reality
of Caesar's death. Pointing out the stab wounds that the conspirators

Antigone: Afterlife
Number of words: 1329 | Number of pages: 5.... think Antigone thought her act was courageous and valid. I myself would not have risked my life to ensure a proper burial for anyone, whether it was in modern times or back then.To go against authority and break the laws given by the monarch was a plain senseless act. When someone is dead we now know there is nothing else anyone or anything can do for them at that point. It is too bad the Greeks did not believe that. As I stated before, afterlife to the Greeks was more important than living life itself. The Greeks seemed to spend most if not all of their lives preparing in some way for their afterlives. The lives they led back .....

Number of words: 1369 | Number of pages: 5.... revenge. This is seen in Act II,
Scene I, when Katherine sums up her own state: “I will go sit and weep/
Till I can find occasion of revenge” (35-36). It is an immature response,
but the only one she knows, and it serves the dual purpose of cloaking her
hurt. The transformation, which she undergoes near the end of the play, is

out that her negative attitude becomes a positive one.
The shrew is not a shrew at all beneath the surface.
The play begins introducing Katherine with her father's words of
shame towards her when he offers his elde .....
