.... such glory." and as his tendency to "In battle, [leave] the common pasture untouched, and taking no lives." Through this display of compassion for the commoner who doesn't fight in battles, Hrothgar proves the full extent of his honor and therefore the extent of his wealth and status. Beowulf, the hero-prince, also proves his true wealth and status through his deeds as defender of the Danes..

.... two friends and it never occurred to him that he could do anything so perilous. In Gene's own way he was fighting his own war because he had to build up all his courage in order to jump from the tree. If Gene had not jumped then he would be inferior to Finny. In Gene's mind Finny was his enemy because Finny always shined at sports. Gene was always jealous. Gene might never have known he was feeling jealous but somewhere deep down in Gene this jealousy grew over time. Eventually this lead Gene to Gene causing Finny to fall from the tree. Just as if two countries had hated each other for a long time and all the anger grew and b .....

.... here), but Karen Horney does. She talks about how parents rear their children to be manly/womanly from birth itself, giving them toys “male toys” (guns, soldiers, etc.) and “female toys” (dolls, tea sets, etc.). Another influence would be the sex of the other siblings; a girl surrounded by numerous male siblings may take on their games and toys, so as to win their affection and respect. Similarly, a boy with many sisters may become more involved in dolls, etc., so as to gain the respect and love of his sisters. This may affect the individual in the adult life, making them more like the opposite sex. This was see .....

.... question these myths, if we would "look at the Medusa straight on," we would find out "she's not deadly. She's beautiful and she's laughing." Cixous characterizes women as "black and beautiful", "we're stormy, and that which is ours breaks loose from us without our fearing any debilitation. Our glances, our smiles, are spent; laughs exude from all our mouths; we're not afraid of lacking." Cixous characterizes women's bodies and women's writing in response to the "inevitable man-with-rock, standing erect in his old Freudian realm" (which symbolizes woman lacking the "symbolic" power so therefore she lacks power) as we don't have .....

.... relive the stress of our deepest emotions. It acts as an internal censor to keep us close to sanity, the value of life, and maybe even God trying to save his life. When he comes "Between the woods and frozen lake," he finds that he is at a crossroad in life. The speaker ponders what direction to take, whether to live as the moral man that he is, or to take the easy way out by taking his own life. Frost portrays "The darkest evening of the year," as the speaker comes to the end of his road. In the third stanza, while the speaker is giving "His harness bells a shake," he is really contemplating and asking himself if he .....

.... or “something that does not offend or ridicule?” One example was a piece done where a person had placed a crucifix upside-down…was this art? I decided that it was, based on my belief that anything, although it may seem offensive or even repulsive, should be considered as art as long as one person, maybe only the artist himself, was somehow affected by it. Reading that sentence over, I suddenly realized how difficult it is to discuss this issue. It seems as if we are to debate art, we need a list of requirements that need to be fulfilled. It seems the more we think about what art is, the more the true meaning and fee .....

.... alienate her from society. A short while later, John Reed, representing a male-dominated society, enters the room in search of Jane. When John attempts to assert his dominance over Jane, she is unable to control her passionate nature and retaliates. As punishment for giving in to her fiery side, Jane is locked inside the red-room. Obviously, the color red is of importance here. Red is the color of fire and heat, and represents passion and fury. Jane describes the red room's, "massive pillars of mahogany, hung with curtains of deep red damask"(15), which represents her very passionate nature. At the same time, Jane also des .....

.... impact and resolution that this passage gives is as follows “You yellow dogs, you thought I'd never make it home from the land of Troy. You took my house to plunder, twisted my maids to serve your beds. You dared bid for my wife while I was still alive. Contempt was all you had for the gods who rule wide heaven, contempt for what men say of you hereafter. Your last hour has come. You die in blood.” (page 410 lines 37-43). This quote gives a good impression of the closure that is given by this passage, included for this purpose, because it give Odysseus his revenge, the suitors will die in disgrace, Odysseus has finally r .....

.... and gentle person who only care about studying, but as she reach her goal, to be married her true self appears. She becomes insensitive and unkind by not coming at the call of Lucentio. In the other word she becomes almost what her sister was. By making this contrast Shakespeare developed the theme that we can not decide about people by only look at them because, what a person really is, is more important than how they look or how they seems they are. One of the other important contrasts in this play that is help to develop theme is the contrast in setting. As an example of contrast in setting is the contrast in the Kate- .....
