.... in Plato's several works, or Plato's student Aristotle. These notions were being circulated throughout Greece during the time period which Oedipus was thought to be presented, making them common knowledge for the audience of the time (Friedlander 7). Of all the virtues that the Greeks, especially the Athenians held dear was wisdom, wisdom dealing with everything in life (Friedlander 8). Socrates spurned this Greek movement for wisdom when he not only proclaimed that wisdom is the one true virtue from which all other Penz 2 virtues originated, but he also put forth the notorious quote, "The unexamined life is not worth liv .....

.... and soul. A beautiful woman is carried off by evil, a play on the Beauty and the Beast themes that would become so popular in horror films. Used expressionism, films that explored dream, nightmare and psyche and that found their narrative shape determined less by action than emotion. Used angular sets and heavy shadows to develop a macabre and horrific atmosphere for its tale of murder and madness. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari intentionally uses sets that look artificial. The deliberate distortions were meant to portray what a tormented soul might perceive. German expressionism, known as dada, and surrealism rejected no .....

.... on Gregor. The scene at the kitchen table proves revealing once again when Mr. Samsa announces that he will fire the cleaning lady (17). By doing so, Mr. Samsa demonstrates that he has changed and can take responsibility. Grete (Gregor's sister) and Mrs. Samsa also show that they have changed by not contesting Mr. Samsa's decision to fire the cleaning lady. In retrospect, firing the cleaning lady is an additional step towards change from the past. The second revealing scene is the scene on the trolley. In this scene, Kafka reveals the family's plans for the future, as well as the significant changes in Grete. H .....

.... understand the art of sports. Cohn doesn't really like to box, but learns to, so that he can defend himself. Robert is Jewwish and therefore feels that he will have to defend himself when people start to make accusations of him. He is afraid of what people have to say to him. After Cohn learned to box, he became very good and won a middleweight boxing title. Even after becoming very skilled at the sport, he still didn't care for it. When Robert Cohn was in college he would read a lot and study. Many of the things the Cohn knew of were because he read about them and maybe saw some pictures of different places and people. .....

.... along.” (Steinbeck:6). George hates it when Lennie catches animals and plays with them “well you ain’t petting no mice while you walk with me.” (Steinbeck:6) because he knows Lennie could end up killing the tiny animal. Lennie does not know his own strength and handles the mouse too rough “you’ve broke it pettin’ it.” (Steinbeck:9) After the two men spend the night in the woods, they finish their journey and arrive at the ranch. Soon after they arrive at the ranch, George and Lennie meet some new and delightful people that they will be living with, until they earn enough money t .....

.... and Ruth’s is not destroyed. They keep their pride and dignity and contribute to sacrificing their time into working endless hours to keep the house. Ruth says, “Lena—I’ll work… I’ll work twenty hours a day in all the kitchens in Chicago… I’ll strap my baby on my back if I have to scrub all the floors in America and wash all the sheets in America if I have to—but we got to move…”(Hansberry 112). Through the struggle of poverty, one can still achieve success by keeping their pride and confronting the problem. Walter often struggles with his identity and individuality as a person.

.... were an offence not only against God but also against the community. Therefore there was pressure for neighbours to reveal other’s sin. The desire for privacy makes one suspect others because if they do not convict others it looks as if they themselves might have something to hide. It is ironic that Reverend Parris says that the witchcraft investigation might reveal the source of all the community’s problems ‘Why, Rebecca, we may open up the boil of all our troubles today’ because in the end the witchcraft investigation provokes the burning down and destruction of the community. The witch trials are .....

.... of previous events. All of these examples of happenings and objects found in Middle Earth are physically impossible in a world such as ours. Several of the organisms in the book are not known to exist on Earth. Hobbits, of course, are fictional characters, as are dwarves, elves, goblins, and trolls. Many species of animals are able to vocally communicate with humans and dwarves in the novel, which is not possible on our planet. Beorn, a human who is able to morph into other creatures at an instant, is an excellent example of such fiction. The dragon, Smaug, is the main adversary of the fourteen adventurers and is a t .....

.... to absorb than a continuous piece of writing, particularly for a child. Each spread is laid out with the text in the middle of the spread, surrounded by colourful pictures relating to the writing, small quotes and sidebars containing factual information, again relating to points in the writing. Along the top of the opening spread is a landscape picture of a rustic village, probably Bistritz, which is mentioned in the text as where Jonathan Harker, the subject and author of the diary, stays for the night. It is a colourful picture, which attracts the reader’s attention, and has the effect of setting the scene and putting an idea .....

.... and violence to accomplish his passionate desire. “ He is an emissary of pity and science and progress; and devil knows what else.” (Conrad, 92). It is believed that there is evil in everyone and it can be triggered by mere stupidity of man. The evil in Kurtz is unleashed because he choose his deep desires for ivory and did not look ahead in the future of what will become of him. Consequently, his soul is consumed for eternal damnation. "The improper use of knowledge is another example that symbolizes the Heart of Darkness. One of Kurtz’s advantages is his deep voice and his ability to speak. That man could .....
